    Unprofessional & rude staff. Rushing you on the phone. Talks over you. Always seems in a rush and bothered by a phone call inquiring about meds. Always seems to have horrible customer service when calling.

    The customer service was extremely poor. My worst experience while purchasing medication occurred when the staff refused to take responsibility for any issues. They were completely out of sync, and I plan to escalate this matter to a higher authority.

      Excessive lines and the store does not care. Nothing is being addressed to fix the situation. I have seen no new employees even though they claim they are hiring. Disorganized small pharmacy that texts you the script is ready, makes you wait in a long line to tell you it still is not ready

      This was one of the worst experiences dealing with a pharmacy. They gave me the wrong medicine the first time. Today, I confirmed this morning that they had the RIGHT medicine, only to have them try give me the wrong medicine again. When I asked to speak to the pharmacist, the woman said "She's going to tell you the same thing". The pharmacist then began screaming at me ("You're wrong!"). When she looked in the computer, she saw the updated prescription from my doctor (I went to the office and SAW what they had faxed with my own eyes), but refused to apologize, saying "It will be ready in a half hour". I would AVOID this pharmacy chain if you can. They may have the cheapest prices, but the poor treatment and constant mistakes (then blaming the patient) will only ruin your day.

      Absolutely horrific pharmacy. They treat you like dirt without knowing any of your medical history about your medications and will put you on the back burner for controlled substance and then pull your leg for days telling you to come down for a script that still isn't ready! I was told to come down at 1:30 for a script and I arrived at 7pm, the tech told me with an attitude that I could get my script in 30 minutes but they close at 8pm. Why is it taking this long to get a script filled?! This place must be picking favorites and choosing how and when they do business!! This being one of the only choices in the area to pick up a script is criminal and this entire company should be horribly ashamed of themselves for how they treat others!!

      Perhaps they should have been prepared to serve their existing customers before they announced taking on Rite Aid customers. Typical corporate money grab with little forethought or preparation. 3 scripts sent over today from Physicians and one on-going supposed autofill which has been in queue for three days. None of these uncommon drugs either. Felt like a Pirates hitter - 0 for 4. Transferring all out to the competition.

      Avoid if you can! They lie all the time! Telling you your prescription will be for pick up this day and you go in and magical the prescription isn’t there. It’s at another pharmacy! They tell you they can order it and you're without it for 4 days because they messed up! They don’t care about their customers.

      Pharmacy manager. Karen, made me feel singled out when I transferred 1 easy script to them. I generally go to GE in Crafton/Ingram. No one at that Pharmacy has made me feel the way GE (store #31) has. I was singled out regarding to this medication for about 10 years. I have another strength of this med. The pharmacists insisted that it was too soon to be filled. I explained that I take 2 different strengths of this particular med. She kept saying it was too soon. Still, I was pulled aside in front of others shopping and in line for the pharmacy. I felt humiliated. They treated me like a druggie. Still I was pulled to the side until they finally figured out I took 2 different dosages. As they finally realized that what I was saying, and what the computer was saying, was indeed correct. They appeared to be very annoyed with me. They asked to see to see my ID before I could have a copy of my receipt. They never asked for ID until I asked for a copy of the receipt.

      My Doctor called in a prescription 3 hours before I got to the Waterworks Giant Eagle in Aspinwall, Pa. I went in to pick it up and said yes, we got the script but don't have it in stock. I explained going out of town and will need it so can you call other Pharmacy and they called one and said does not have, I asked to call others and was told that it is not my job to locate your medication at other Giant Eagle Pharmacies. Advise me I should be the one calling and walked away.

      Understand I am a 69 year old man that needs my medication and had a trip for 10 days planned, leaving the next day, I do not even know medication name since they do not give scripts only send by email, fax or whatever. A lady that would not tell me her name, only pointing at a name on the wall which I could not see because did not have glasses, telling me to shut up and sit down, never gave me her name. Asked to speak with Manager and when he comes, I try to explain my situation and how my wife and I must have 15 scripts per month that we get, and Manager says I get that story from everyone sarcastically and must get 20 times a week. Sad, they treat people that way.

      Warren Plaza Giant Eagle Pharmacy is a disaster! Avoid that one if you can! Very rude, unprofessional staff and pharmacist. Will mess up your RX every time, yes that happened to me too many times. Won’t fill some RX’s unlike Rite aid. Was forced to choose Giant Eagle when Rite Aid closed all stores. The big heavy set girl at the counter is very ignorant and causes to many problems with a RX. The pharmacist is unprofessional in that he literally throws the prescription to the staff across the room and is rude. Transferring ALL my prescriptions the heck out of that terrible pharmacy. BTW the corporate NEVER responded to my concerns. One and done with them! Avoid!!!

      I have been a long time customer of Giant Eagle in Chardon. Never any problems. However, once in madison suddenly all of my medications have a charge. I spoke to my insurance company as well as the doctor and his pharmacy. They looked at all of my medications and said that I am covered. Note I've had the same insurance and same medications since 2018. My doctor and says I'm covered but the individual named (Lisa) who says she's not going to give me any information. She said I'm not covered and I'm just going to have to pay. I recommended that they call chardon to find out how they're putting it in, the one pharmacist did call, not lisa, someone else who didn't mind doing their job and she got the medications to go through with no charge.

      When the next month came they sent me a text saying filled but with charge so I called and the young man said he would call however he called me back, said there was a note saying that I had pay then lisa got on the phone and made it very clear that she was not calling anyone and had to pay from now on. I had some of my medications transferred to walgreens. Guess what? No charge at all, so why is it when I go to giant eagle same medications that I have to pay. But walgreens I don't.

      Please note there is some shady activity when it come to bills. I strongly suggest that people check with their insurance to be sure and not to go to giant eagle in madison ohio and don't deal with (lisa). She is unprofessional, disrespectful, racist and a big liar. I no longer wish to deal with giant eagle pharmacy or (lisa). Never ever again in life. Do not trust them. They put notes in your file to charge even though you're not supposed to be charged. This has caused my blood pressure to go up and has put me under distress. Never again lisa. You're shady and dishonest. Giant eagle pharmacy department. You should investigate her actions seriously. She is not customer friendly to **, she's very nasty.

      Giant Eagle Pharmacy Greenfield. ***Avoid at all costs!*** I have never seen or encountered a more unprofessionally run establishment in my life. The pharmacist at this giant eagle will consistently put off filling a prescription until the next employee comes in. You can call 4 times to ask and make sure it is ready, it does not matter. It won't be.

      They will insist it is coming in the next day. If you push them really hard they will finally say they have the medication in stock and can fill it. I feel I work harder than any employee here trying to get my own prescription filled. It's a joke. I have had surgery in the past where the doctor will call in meds and I will then have to call them 3-4 times before they will finally fill them.

      The lead woman pharmacist is probably the rudest person I have ever come across. She will sit behind her computer screen and just holler over to you. She refuses to even come to the counter and talk to you like a human. I have never witnessed such an incompetent employee. I have already made a formal complaint against her. If this pharmacy wasn't part of a huge conglomerate that giant eagle is, it would be long shut down. I feel like this place will be investigated and eventually shut down.

I get them promptly for many meds just not **. It's very challenging because I have to hope it's actually in stock. I called in a refill last week. The pharmacy said He had to wait as they had to call my doctor.. No refills. I knew that should not be an issue but it's now Tuesday... I called my doctor myself and a refill was authorized yesterday but still none in stock. Come back tomorrow I was told..Two things.. Never in stock... And when get it....I have to pay for a 90 day supply...big copay. There has to be a better way.

      I have been using this pharmacy for a very long time. In the past year they have drastically went downhill. There's always a line, it takes forever them digging through drawers and a mess on top of the drawers until they finally find my prescription. I've been getting the same prescriptions for a while now and every time the price is different. Lastly I just can't take their snarky and rude attitudes. The whole store seems miserable. If it's that terrible go work somewhere else and not with the public especially in the pharmacy.

      I recently had a deeply unsatisfactory experience at Giant Eagle that has left me feeling frustrated and let down by their customer service. I purchased a money order from Giant Eagle, and unfortunately, I had to return it for personal reasons. Armed with my receipt and expecting a straightforward process, I was shocked when the store refused to accept the return.

      The lack of consistency and understanding in Giant Eagle's return policy is beyond disappointing. As a loyal customer, I assumed that returning a money order purchased from the same store would be a hassle-free procedure, especially when armed with a receipt. However, the staff at Giant Eagle were uncooperative and unwilling to assist me. The fact that Giant Eagle, a store that prides itself on customer satisfaction, refused to accept the return of their own product raises serious concerns about their commitment to customer service. The inconvenience and frustration caused by this incident have left me questioning whether I can trust Giant Eagle for future transactions.

      Moreover, the unhelpful attitude of the staff during this ordeal only added to my disappointment. A company of Giant Eagle's stature should prioritize customer satisfaction and demonstrate flexibility in resolving issues. Unfortunately, my experience suggests otherwise. I would caution potential customers to think twice before engaging in financial transactions, especially involving money orders, at Giant Eagle. The lack of a reasonable return policy and the uncooperative attitude of the staff have tarnished my perception of the store's commitment to customer service, and I am left with a negative impression that will undoubtedly influence my future shopping decisions.

      I've been using Giant Eagle Pharmacy in Painesville, Ohio for many years. I don't know what happened, but now I have to wait at least a day to get most of my prescriptions filled. I'm used to getting scripts in 20 minutes or less. It's ridiculous that I can't get the medication I need in a timely manner. The pharmacy techs aren't very friendly most of the time either. I'm going to switch pharmacies; I can't take it anymore.

      I recently returned Giant Eagle Pharmacy. A terrible mistake. On Dec 03 2022, my physician called in a prescription for a quality of 60 pills and in tablet form. I was originally told that they didn’t have in stock. Then they stated they had 29 tablets. If I took those I would forfeit the remaining 31, I asked why, they stated Ohio Law. I reached out to Board of Pharmacy to ask if true. The investigator assigned to this stated if a pharmacy can only fill a partial even if it is classified as a level 2, as long as pharmacy got the remaining within 30 days of prescription being written they were allowed to fill. The investigator also stated Giant Eagle on Groveport have been made aware.

      When I called back I spoke to manager Amy, she told me I can place calls to Ohio State Board of Pharmacy and Attorney General offices if I wish, and I would need to find a pharmacy that can better suit my needs. However she did state the medication was on long term back order. I have called other Giant Eagle pharmacies that have the tablets however Giant Eagle is refusing to transfer per their policy. I called this am to see if they had my medication in stock. The technician confirmed the Medication was there. I told him I needed remainder. He got the pharmacist and then I was told they didn’t have it, even though my cousin literally was sitting in drive through picking up their same medication. They are deceitful and condescending.

      When I asked about what they charged my insurance Amy the pharmacy manager said, "Your state insurance? We billed for 29 they gave me." When I asked where does the remainder 31 go she said it’s absorbed. I have never been through so much issues. So instead of seeing my Dr. once this month I have to go back in a few days all because they are difficult because I followed up with AG and OSBP. I have been discriminated against because I followed up with how the law is written. I have to take my medicine daily and been trying to stretch to make last but it’s not working as it should. Shame on Giant Eagle in Groveport for putting an senior citizen through this.
