Digital shopping at revamped Walgreens is not an improvement

The nearest Walgreens, at Roosevelt Road and State Street, is the first in the chain to move most merchandise behind locked doors. Customers must shop online or at self-serve kiosks at the entrance, except for a couple of aisles labeled “The Essentials.” Store employees retrieve the purchases. 


My first experiences with the new system did not go smoothly.
