Walgreens needs to be very cautious about who they hire for obvious reasons. There is a chance that much of the information you will access could be confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. You will be working with the public and in the pharmacy with controlled substances. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check they require.

As with any interview question, you want to focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test or have a criminal background, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue and you do not have a criminal history, assure the interviewer that you will have no problem passing both checks.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required as my record is clean. I do not participate in drug use, either. You can be assured that if I were the join the Walgreens Pharmacy team, I will maintain a clean record."
