    Logging in to the Kroger Website is highly difficult even if you use a password manager or manually attempt to login. Kroger pharmacy website is pathetic, confusing, and not customer friendly. The website does not show all prescriptions available for refill even when drilling down through prescription history the medication are available and are refillable.

    The pharmacist and Techs are very knowledgeable and helpful. I had an issue with running out of my medication before my insurance would pay and They were able to resolve the issue and refill it. Kim went above and beyond to answer questions about my HRT, and to remove medications I don’t take anymore.

    This has got to be the worst Kroger Pharmacy ever. I have been trying to move my prescriptions over to this new store since they opened in November. They still haven't gotten it right and recently they really screwed me. After at least 3 tries, I got most of my scripts moved over and successfully filled one or two of them. Now comes the disappointment..... I talked to them, in person, on 12/29 about refilling a couple of my more expensive scripts before the year end because my insurance was changing and my new insurance did not cover the cost. The person at the counter, black hair and middle aged, said that she would take care of it and they would be ready on 12/31.

    I called them on 12/31 to make sure they were ready and I talked to "Penny" who said they were not and she began to slam the other staff person and said she didn't know what she was talking about. In spite of that, she said I could pick them up on 1/2/2026 and that she would bill them on 12/31 to my insurance. This sounded good until I went to pick them up today, 1/2/2026 and she tells me that she did fill them because they only had 60 and the prescription was for 90. Of course she failed to call me before today and had no excuse for not doing it other then she really didn't care. My guess is that she wanted to go home on the 31st for new years eve and didn't take care of her business and my prescriptions.

    Because of her negligence, I will now have a bill for over $2k for medication that I could have received for $0.00..... So from my point of view, this Kroger Pharmacy is unreliable and they don't have any idea of what they are doing. One person says one thing and another says something totally different and even berates to other employee. They make up stuff just to appease you and then never follow through with what they tell you. Unfortunately I lose big and now will change to yet another pharmacy.

    My review applies to two locations in Memphis, TN. Both, the location at the Poplar Plaza store, and the store at Polar and Cleveland have been GREAT in my opinion. I've been using the pharmacies at these two Kroger stores for around 10 years, and I will continue to use them. Their technicians, and pharmacists have all been great, when it comes to how they've treated me, and they both certainly don't make me miss the days I used other stores such as Walgreens. Keep up the great work, and "thank you" for your service!

    The pharmacist at 7101 E 10th, Indianapolis IN 46219 is very rude to the customers, makes very loud very rude comments about other customers after they leave or hang up the phone in front of current customers. She has NO business being anywhere around jobs that deal with customers because she thinks everyone is an ** addict and doesn’t care about the customers situation or the pain level they may be dealing with. She makes remarks to customers saying “shouldn’t be abusing your meds” when their doctor changes/ ups a prescription or if doctor has it refilled sooner than prescribed. I have now been treated very poorly by this pharmacist on numerous occasions and will be switching to a different pharmacy, even though this one is right down the street from me. Someone truly needs to look into her contract/employment and find a better pharmacist to fill her place.

    Very poor service. Could not access web site EVER even after it was set up by company rep. I personally switched to my local Mom and Pop pharmacy. I only received one month supply and never did get any refills. Mail order by definition is supposed to make it easier for the recipient and this was defiantly not the case with this company.

    Kroger pharmacy has some of the rudest staff I have ever experienced! I had called to check in on a prescription that I had already called about and have not heard anything so I called the next week again and was told they would send the request to the doctor's office and I asked if she was sure that it was sent in and she had a attitude about it, and I ask the question because I'm been told by the doctors offices that they do not always send them in!

    I had several prescriptions ready at the pharmacy. My doctor called in another due to my illness. I set up delivery mid afternoon on 10/14. I received a call from the pharmacist at 7:03 pm, saying they would get my medication to me tomorrow 10/15. The pharmacist called at today at 3:34 pm saying I would get my medication today. She said the deliveries go out at 5pm. I’m still sitting here waiting. It’s 7:40 pm 10/15 and still nothing. No calls stating they are running late, nothing. Tomorrow will be day three without my medications. Blood pressure medication is not something I should go without.

    I am over 70 years old. Two days ago went to Kroger pharmacy of Grand Blanc to get the new Covid vaccine. I was told that I need my doctor prescription. I called my doctor and he told me that’s not required for people over 65. I then researched the new federal law and sure enough the law is clear, no need for prescription for people 65 and over. Called another local pharmacy and they gave me the shot immediately. I think Kroger pharmacy, at least the one in Grand Blanc are anti vaxers. The service quality there is terrible as well.

    Had an issue where my name brand medication wasn’t paid for because of some issue with the way it is run thru the system. I wasn’t able to pick it up myself, so someone else had to pick it up for me. Didn’t realize it was generic until they gave it to me later. Called in to the store and was told I could basically exchange the generic for the name brand. Went into the store and the manager lady or whatever, instead of apologizing at the very least, acted like I was the some kind of bother. Told me they don’t exchange medicine. Well, you know what? Fair enough. I can’t expect you to change the rules. But you could at least not be rude.

    She wasn’t apologetic in the slightest. Even after I said I was told by her people that I could drive there and get the right medication. So I waste my time and gas money just to come here and be treated like some type of filth that she would rather not have to look at. And no, I never raised my voice or cursed or anything of that nature. The most I did was roll my eyes. And I think that’s fairly reasonable given the situation and her demeanor. There was absolutely no reason she should be acting this way towards a customer/patient whatever term they use in a situation like this.

    So I have been told numerous times on how Kroger pharmacies discriminate against a certain group of people that take MAT medications. I honestly didn’t believe it until today when I tried using them as a pharmacy. Now it has gotten so bad that instead of the usual disrespect and all around sticking their nose up at people like us. They’re no longer filling our prescriptions from certain doctors. Anything they can do to make our life just a little more difficult they seem to do. If I was anyone using these kind of medications, I would think twice before I use this pharmacy. Because it’s honestly disgusting that they put us in these situations just because of our past. I wish I could give negative stars.

    My doctor wanted to refill a new prescription that was called in in May but they kept saying the medicine wasn't covered on my insurance so he tried to get the medicine again. So I received a text saying my medicine needed to be ordered and it would be ready on 8-8-2025. On 8-11 I called to see if the medicine is ready. The rude pharmacist kept saying she didn't order it cause she didn't know if I want it cause it's from May that they're not no mind reader. I kept saying something had to resurface in order for me to receive a text saying it was being ordered. She kept telling me she's not a mind reader. I said, "So why would you fill a medicine from May then if it's old?" She said it's not old. It's new medicine. From May nobody called anything in so I'm confused at this point. So I asked if she could order it. She said, "Yes. It would be ready the next day." I said, "Ok cause my doctor called it in so we definitely want it."

    She got mad and said since I want to keep saying my doctor called it in she's not going to order it cause it's too expensive which didn't make sense so I hung up. Called corporate and then on 8-12 at 8:30 am I called to see if still refusing to fill it and she told me yes she's not ordering it cause it's too expensive and there's nothing nobody can do about it. She shouldn't be dealing with the public if she can't diffuse a simple situation like this by either saying I need a new script which she said I didn't need or just filling it cause it's people that struggle with mental disabilities everyday so how does she deal with it by refusing to fill script over a disagreement. I never called her out her name at all. She was just easily frustrated cause I wanted a clear understanding and she couldn't give it to me.

    Kroger Pharmacy on North Bend Cincinnati Ohio had 2 prescription they knew needed pre-authorization. They held on to the prescription from Thursday one week to the next week on Wednesday and charged me regular price. I asked why didn't they tell myself or contact the doctor to get pre-authorizations. I was told staff already filled prescription. Then was asked if I was going to pay for prescription or not? I asked why didn't they contact doctor for pre-authorization. The prescription is covered by insurance. I waited so long I just paid for the prescription. I will not go back to Kroger's Pharmacy anymore. I'm not sure if they treated me like this because I'm ** or they are just not caring about the customer. I'm on fixed income. It's past the middle of the month. I needed insurance to cover my meds.

    I feel like the store needs someone to do an undercover investigation and see how they are treating ** versus ** when it comes to filling prescriptions. They also need to see if it is just basic staff members that treat customers terrible and make their own personal choice or who's going to pay out of pocket and who's going to use their insurance. It's very uncomfortable when you are placed in that position and embarrassing to not be able to get your prescription because someone chose not to use your insurance. And you have waited almost a week to get your prescription filled assuming they did a pre-authorization because this is not the first time you have gotten that prescription so in the records it's just say did it require the pre-authorization.

    I'm not sure what is going on with this particular location but as a ** person in need of my meds and covered with insurance I'm not understanding the customer service, the disrespect, the unappreciation for making sure that the customer does not have to pay out of pocket because they do have insurance... Is very sad because I have been going to this location for years and it's this last year that the staff has changed and the store overall has went downhill as far as customer service, respect for the customer and the people that they are hiring.

    Another thing that should be addressed is I asked the representative to put the change in the bag with the prescription so that the money will not scatter all over the tube coming out. The representative stapled their prescription inside the bag and proceeded to put the change on the outside of the bag. I didn't understand why they couldn't put the money inside the bag to make sure that none of the loose change was not all over the tube or falling out of the tube.

    To Powder, Springs, Georgia about four months ago. I moved my pharmacy prescriptions to the Kroger nearest me on Brownsville Road in Powder, Springs, Georgia, and. Have been having to deal with Priyanka **. She is about the worst human being that I can imagine having help me with my medical needs! She has zero patient care. She has ran me out of not only life-saving drugs, but also insulin on more than three occasions. She has been notified that If this causes a sentinel event that Kroger will be liable for any issues that happen with my life and regards to this service. Today I went through drive-through. Rang the bell. We did more than five minutes. Nobody ever came so I rang a second time Thinking that perhaps nobody heard it. She came over and basically started yelling at me stating that I’m the only person that has ever ring the bell twice. That I need to wait my turn.

    I’m the only person in the drive-through line! She then said to me, "I’m happy to transfer your prescriptions out of our pharmacy to wherever you would like me to." What pharmacist in charge of any pharmacy says that to a patient? Priyanka ** at the pharmacy in Kroger Brownsville Road Powder Springs, GA 770222-4205 is absolutely an incredibly horrible individual. I would avoid using this pharmacy at all costs.

    Hello I went into Kroger's yesterday to pick up my prescriptions because they text me they were done. I live out in the country and I could go to a different Krogers but I choose to go to the one on West state. I have been going there for 32 years. The cashier was so rude and talked over me. I know what prescriptions I take, I'm not illiterate, I'm actually a retired nurse. I will not tolerate disrespect. Everything Has Changed since Ron left Kroger. All my medicines weren't ready and they're still not ready today. I'm going to be looking for a different drugstore. I am sorry it has to be this way. But she was way too rude yesterday and when people are sick they don't feel like waiting forever to get their medication. And then to have someone talk to you like you're a piece of trash on the street.

    Just wanted to let you know how your store is not the same. All new people in there. Only one left since Ron left that I know. And she knows how long I've been coming there even ask how I've been doing. And I get a lot of medications from your store every month. But I think you do need to check in on your employees and teach them about kindness caring and compassion. Thank you. Judy **, my phone number is **

    Updated on 02/06/2025: So after I had another discussion about their poor service, organization and knowledge of the insurance systems I talked to the store general manager about it. He discussed the situation with the pharmacy managers and instead of things getting better some type of written note was put in my file and now another Kroger pharmacy that was going to fill my prescriptions won't. And they specifically cited the entry in my file as to why they wouldn't. I never threatened anyone and only responded to their tone of voice and inability to fill my prescriptions consistently on time for several years. I noticed when they found out I was a disabled vet, they started treating me more poorly and questioning my prescriptions which come electronically from my doctors. And all my doctors are aware of my prescription profile as it hasn't changed in years and is recorded in my hospital network history.

    I don't know how the pharmacy manager can basically ban me from all Krogers with no corporate involvement. Can anybody out there give me a hand? I am just trying to get my prescriptions filled and still use the benefits of my Kroger membership. I would also like to know if the Kroger pharmacist entry is legal or not. I accept she could refuse me service at her store but all kroger stores? And also not taking into account the pain and anxiety they put me thru when I never knew if I'd get my medications on time and still don't. Who defends me from any unjust entries they put in the system that I cannot see or have a chance to respond too. Doesn't seem fair, so beware if you're using or thinking of using the Kroger pharmacy in Sterling Heights Michigan on Dequindre Rd. Anyone have any ideas?

    Original Review: The Sterling Heights location on 18 Mile Rd and Dequindre is terrible. Late prescription refills. Very poor communication. Staff knowledge of their systems is very bad. They constantly tell you prescription will be ready and when you go to pick it up they tell you they don't have it and will order it with at least a 3-day wait. Rude and not helpful at all. Do not have stock or order common prescriptions on time. Many problems that are not on time incidents. They repeat the same mistakes over many years and even if you explain what they need to do from past issues they ignore you and screw it up again. Just terrible to deal with on all levels.

    Kroger's drug prices beat all its competitors that I've checked. Kroger's Good Rx discounts are also better than Good Rx discounts at other stores.

    Unfortunately Kroger's refill policy is a handicap. Regardless of one's prescription insurance rules, Kroger Pharmacy will ONLY refill prescriptions after 30 days have passed since the last refill. It doesn't matter if the insurer allows refills every 27 days. For customers who only have 1 or 2 prescriptions, or who never travel, Kroger's strict 30-day rule may work. For those of us taking a number of health maintenance prescriptions, it is a no-go. I would have to make 9 trips to Kroger per month due to their 30-day rule. Few of us have that luxury of time.
