The interviewer wants to hear that you are looking forward to working at Walgreens and have thought about how you can make a positive impact while working there. Think about what kind of impact you could make. As they state on their careers page, "We are boldly committed to creating a better world through health and wellness."

Possible things that might come to mind are:

- Creating a favorable environment for customers by smiling, asking them how their day is going, and providing them with excellent service
- Building business relationships with your coworkers so everyone looks forward to coming to work each day
- By being the place where people come for medicine, snacks, cosmetics, and pictures

Share whatever comes to mind that you are passionate about!
