    The pharmacy tech couldn't handle putting my medications on my insurance. I was told to sit and wait. A half hour later I got back in line and asked and they said "Oh, it is right here". I wasted my time waiting for nothing and no-one communicated with me.

    I am referring to the Kroger pharmacy located on Bluffton Road. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Will never go back there again. I have been on hold to see if I have my prescriptions there to be able to pick them up. Waited 12 minutes the first time. Hung up. Call back. Waited another 24 minutes and this last time I called back the girl said, "Pease hold." She was a girl in training. Never came back to the phone. Kept ringing and ringing. Finally ran into their service desk which then again ring me back to the pharmacy. A total of 47 minutes on hold so I was on the phone with them over an hour and 45 minutes and still no answers. Garbage Pharmacy.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Too often I have missed a day or two of medication due to backorders on my refills at Kroger Pharmacy Spring Street, Marietta, Ga. Because I did not get my refill on time I missed two days of blood pressure medicine which contributed to elevated blood pressure. The pharmacy staff there does not show any concern or seems to care about the effect this has on the customer. This pharmacy is in my neighborhood but, I will travel 20 minutes away to a different pharmacy to have a peace of mind.

    Kroger Pharmacy at the Halstead Village location (Halstead and 12-mile) is my new go-to pharmacy! Moved all my scripts over from Meijer’s to get the fast, convenient, personalized service from this Kroger team! Shout outs to the Pharmacists and their team! Friendly and helpful without the long waits, and Meijer’s being out of stock all the time!! Prices are fantastic! Saving so much $$ now!!They will search to find you the best price! Was paying nearly $40! for one script I now get for $17!! Just one example. Staff at Meijer’s Haggerty are generally rude and seem annoyed to help you… What a difference!! Thanks everyone!

    Pharmacy complaint. I went to Kroger June 26, 2024 around 7:30 pm. I went to get my medication. The pharmacy tech who was taking care of me, was getting my prescriptions and I was asking what they were. He said ** and two others, I told him that it should be **and I don’t need the **. I have plenty of those, then Johnaa came over, grabbed the prescriptions and told me I have to get all of them or none at all. I tried to explain to her that I have the other ones and she was very aggressive in telling me that I can’t get **, I told her the doctor gave us that in the hospital and told us to tell the pharmacy to fill it. Johnaa snapped at me and told me that they didn’t give me that at the ER, no one does. Johnaa then yelled at me and said she was calling the ER to see if I can get the ** and Johnaa yelled at me again and said they said no.

    While she was on the phone I was talking to the tech that was helping me and asked what her problem was and he told me she was like that all day. I said sounds like fun and he smiled. I asked her why she was being so aggressive to me and she snapped again and said she is not filling the prescription unless I get all of them. I told her I don’t need the cyclobenzaprine because it doesn’t work can I get the Flexural instead she said no. I also told her that I don’t need the nausea medication either because we have plenty of that at home. At this point I was tired of her treating me like she was, so I asked her: is she is being mean and rude to me because her eyebrows were crooked and she got all mad because I said that and proceeded to call the manager over.

    The manager came over and I started talking to him and Johnaa come to the front and started talking over me and being aggressive and telling the manager what I said about her eyebrows and I told the manager “see how she is by talking over me and talking loud and being rude.” I then walked away. After she had her rant I pulled the manager aside and told him what happened and I told him I didn’t appreciate how she was treating me so I said that about her eyebrows and I told him she wanted me banned and thrown in jail for 100 years but nothing is going to happened to her for treating me the way she was.

    I told the manager I am only human and I couldn’t figure out why she was being so mean rude and aggressive towards me. I need to make a complaint on her for treating me that way. Johnaa was unprofessional in how she talked to and treated me, and I retaliated with commenting on her eyebrows. But all the stuff she was doing to me was ok and acceptable, not by a regular pharmacist but the actual pharmacy manager. I need to make a complaint against her and I want to send it to the proper chain of command. I have attached what her eyebrows were like.

    Kroger pharmacy was an excellent place for prescription and vaccine needs. They are now using a "third" party pharmacy and my prescriptions get missed up all the time now. The "third" party pharmacy is easy to tell. There in plastics bags. Keep your attention to what there are giving you at counter, because if you walk away from the desk and there is a mistake they will not honor it and they blame you. I have trusted them for years. I'm now going to have to move my prescriptions to a competent and trusty worthy pharmacy. The Vaccines program is very scary. I went for my one and only vaccine from this Kroger, never again.

    The person gave me the shot in my wrong arm even though I told the person, "No. That's my stroke arm and the blood ran out from the shot." That has never happened in my life. Then they changed the paper work and even crossed out which arm they put it in. Since then my arm is weakened and I have to hire people to basic chores. Before something happens to or a loved one find a new pharmacy and fast!

    The absolute worst experience. I waited for more than 6 days for medication that I badly needed, and was promised to be processed in two days. They never followed up with me or updated my profile. This was the second time this happened. So, I moved my medication over to Walgreens and they had it ready within 10 minutes.

    Ordering online for prescriptions seems fairly straight-forward. Once you manage to get through all the screens and finally submit it, it gives you an "estimated" time of completion for the order to be ready for pickup. In all my time going to this pharmacy, it HAS NEVER ONCE BEEN READY AT THE TIME they say. Often, after placing the order online, they will text you and tell you it's time to refill. Ugh, that's the doom loop. You'll login again and ask for the refill and the status will say "On Hold" until you call them waiting 10-15 minutes on hold. If you're lucky they'll have it in their system, and promise it at a certain time. It has never once been ready at the time they say. The store in general is pretty trashy and Kroger corporate doesn't seem to care. The pharmacy and/or the online ordering is a disaster.

    Kroger received my prescription at 12:46 in the afternoon. I called at 6:00p.m. and was told by Avery, "We are really busy. We will have the prescription ready at 7:45." I called back to have the prescription transferred and was put on hold. She was rude. What would have been a way to treat a customer is just apologize and not be rude about it.

The Kroger generic **, (** 5 mg) was manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals and it did not work at all which has left me without sleep for days. I did some research on Torrent Pharmaceuticals and found out that they are a sketchy company in India and the FDA has issued numerous warnings regarding their products and practices. Needless to say, I will never order from Kroger Pharmacy again. I believe they are giving customers products which are of extremely low quality!!

    On May 13, 2023, I placed an order for a Kroger delivery via Instacart. The shopper sent notice that he was working on my order. I received notice the order was complete and Walter G would be arriving at 6:40 pm. However, Walter G never showed. I contacted Kroger to notify them of the non-delivery. And, while they were amenable to issuing me a refund for the cost of the groceries, I am NOT BEING REFUNDED THE DELIVERY FEE AND TIP. Why should I absorb the cost of the delivery fee and tip when I never received my groceries?

    Moreover, the Kroger representative confirmed their policy is to have drivers provide proof of delivery via a photo. My DRIVER DID NOT PROVIDE PROOF OF DELIVERY. Quite honestly, I am convinced this is the new method of grocery store theft. The driver knew there would be no consequences and probably either kept or sold the items. I complained with Instacart, as well. Their solution was to ban this driver from fulfilling my order. Seriously? Kroger needs to recoup my tip and the delivery fee from the driver. PERIOD.

    This is the worst pharmacy I have ever experienced. I called in on a Monday for six refills. Today on a Friday one was filled. No explanation, no contact, other than a text they were ready, but just not filled! This happens on a regular basis. We asked they be filled but they will not respond to calls or send a text they have been filled. Last time I waited one hour and forty-five minutes in the pharmacy for refills when there were very few folks waiting during that time. Never any explanation. I even had to explain to the tech how to refill one of them.

    I have really tried to be patient because I know the times are difficult but there is simply no effort on their part to work with people. You are just out of luck and must keep asking for refills to be filled. I must have several of them each day and it has become a crisis at times.

I explained to the woman that I rely on once a week transportation to accomplish all my errands, and was trying to arrange for the correct day. She responded with irritable contempt, "You are a day early!". I told her I knew that and understood, but if i showed up and all of my prescriptions weren't ready (there were a total of four), then it would be a week later before I would get them. Again I tried to relay that all I was seeking was a date so I could coordinate with my transportation, when she shouted, "You are a day early, call back tomorrow.", and she hung up.

    I tried to fill prescriptions and they refused to fill it under the guise they can refuse in spite of the doctor's order. They refuse Covid treatments such as this that has helped many stay out of the hospital. Blocking effective treatments should be criminal. They have no problem vaccinating with an experimental therapy that doesn’t prevent Covid and which has killed thousands. Not filling these drugs that have been safely used for decades is sinister and further proof the FDA AND CDC are not looking out for our interests. When they claim ** is dangerous but would fill the script if it wasn’t for Covid only reveals their dastardly agenda. The pharmacist is not a dr and should not make medical decisions.

I was extremely embarrassed and exited with my head hung low. On both occasions that I requested refills I was given a pick-up time via their phone-in refill request.

    Decided to purchase a family level membership at the Kroger Savings Club as the published price on GoodRX with Kroger SC membership (needed a family membership so I could include my dog) for a drug my dog must take for the rest of his life appeared to be the lowest price I could get. When I was charged a different price (~ $6 higher than what I anticipated) the call center rep at the SC I spoke with pointed out 'the fine print' and explained its meaning more fully to me. The fine print reads that published prices are for specific dosages and days supplies. As the published price was for a different assumption as to days supply (my dog is on a particularly high daily dosage of a particular seizure med) I was charged a higher price.

    The Kroger SC website does not provide a way to input anything other than dosage and quantity of pills to determine actual price -- there is no option to input days supply. Therefore, depending on days' supply, the price you will actually pay at the pharmacy may vary. In my case, it was an inconsequential amount... However it may not be to others. So my recommendation is -- check by calling the Kroger pharmacy if you are contemplating making a decision as to whether to purchase a Kroger SC membership (currently $72/annually for a family membership) in combination with the drug or drugs prices you see posted for Kroger SC and/or Kroger SC in combo with GoodRX before settling on the most cost-effective / convenient option for your personal situation.

    In November I joined because my insurance went up. After the 30 day window I found out my insurance still cost less than the plan. Fair. They state you get 30 days to cancel and I didn’t - I counted $35 lost. When I called to cancel they told me that your service stops the day of cancellation regardless of the fact that you paid $35 for a yearly subscription. There is no auto cancel. There is no refund even though you cancelled early and they terminated your service the day of cancellation. I don’t mind losing $35 because I missed the window but I’m livid that they did not fulfill their end of the contract for giving me a year of service. Do not recommend at all.

    Kroger has a wonderful service available that allows you to purchase groceries and other store items on line and you can pick them up "contact-free" through their curbside pick-up. This is a good option for me because I am health care provider and I prefer to limit my Covid-19 risk to the workplace if possible. I have steered clear of stores and restaurants for the past 10 months. On occasion, the items you may get are not exactly what you would have picked out if you were in the store...maybe a little too over-ripe or too close to an expiration date or the wrong variety. But overall, they do a great job with this service to allow you to buy groceries in a Covid-19 safe manner.

    The problem comes when you need to return an item. I purchased an expensive Keurig coffee machine and received the wrong one. I wanted to exchange/return it, and was told I need to go inside to do this. They needed my receipt, the Keurig and original form of payment. They did not actually require me to be there to sign for anything, yet they required me to bring it in. Although Kroger is great with having Covid-19 safety procedures for purchasing from them, they do not have any Covid safe policies for returning items. I hope they evolve their policies with the current times... Until then, you may be having to make the choice to either risk your safety to get your money back or keep something expensive that you don't need and could use the money for food instead.

    Every time I have had prescriptions done I have encountered issues at Kroger Pharmacy. Whether or not there are problems or they are back-ordered on a prescription fill they never take the time to notify the customer. I have 3 things listed on my account, standard insurance, KrogerRX, and GoodRx. KrogerRX is something you pay for at Kroger to get better prices on the prescription if your insurance gouges you. The problem is they look at your insurance and will adjust only as to what they say. I constantly have insurance only allow 30 days on 90-day prescription and that is all the pharmacy will fill even if the KrogerRX and GoodRx cover 90-day prescriptions for less than the insurance charges for 30 days. If they could only notify you of the problems, you could take a few minutes to find out how to correct it. In my opinion, the Pharmacist and pharmacy techs are nothing but pill counters, amazing they have degrees for doing poor service.

    Around 2018, I had been using CVS to fill prescriptions. My Family Dr. was always promoting GoodRx. So I began trying it at CVS and it was great, and saved me money. However, every time I filled something I had to ask them to run through GoodRx if it was cheaper. One day I was on the GoodRx website, and noticed that Kroger was always coming up as less. Somehow, they are intertwined. I ended up getting a Kroger RX savings account and moved all my meds to Kroger. But I left my pain prescription at CVS, since I knew my pain contract prefers you stick with same pharmacy. In moving all my other meds and my son's to Kroger, I began getting headaches. I’m not a person to hardly ever have them.

    My son and I both use the same medication (**) and he began complaining of headaches. Then my Dr., accidentally called my next three months of pain meds into Kroger. I picked up the first script there, thinking oh well. Whatever generic brand of ** that they carry, immediately made me so nauseous that after two weeks of it I called my family Dr and asked him to cancel the next two months he had called into Kroger, and please move back to CVS. I think in all this talk to save money. I’m questioning what lengths these companies will go to to sell their cheap drugs. Usually I can’t afford Brand name drugs, and it’s a huge fight if you try to get your insurance to cover, but I think sticking with certain Generic Manufacturers might be important.

She said she doesn't count that as Day 1, that she counts Day 1 as the NEXT day!

    The pharmacy that no longer cares about your health. Service at the pharmacy has gone from spectacular to dismal in the last few months. My doctor sent in prescriptions yesterday. After waiting to hear they are filled or see them on my account, I finally called. They are scheduled to be filled TONIGHT. With no notice to anyone they opted to wait 24 hours from the doctors orders to fill the medications. Luckily it's not a life or death thing - this time. I am a cardiac patient and now know that I need to find a pharmacy that will fill prescriptions when ordered and not when they think they may get around to it. If you have time to wait for a day or more for a prescription because the situation isn't life-threatening, then go ahead and take a chance.

I made two trips and called and nobody could tell me what the problem was. The Dr's office finally called and obtained information that the particular prep was on back order and I had to get it from another Kroger location.

    The second issue involved an online refill phone app where the receipt provided was for the wrong Kroger Rewards number. If they messed that up, I really don't want to trust them with my medicine. I also stopped receiving text messages regarding my refills being ready.

The people are rude and act like they are on their last legs. The pharmacy is too busy and needs more employees and space. If you can't do these two things, then you need to shut it down because it gives Kroger a bad name. Their grocery section is wonderful and those people are more than helpful.

    I got burned on my back. I went to the Wound Care Center in the Upper Miami Valley Hospital. They were more than wonderful! They ordered me ** cream because the ** did not permeate the scar and dead tissue and they could not debride it. The cream is suppose to help dissolve it. I called Kroger Pharmacy in Sidney, Ohio to see how much it was going to be. She said they could not fill it because it has to go to a specialty pharmacy. I asked her what was that - I had never heard of such a thing. Anyway, I called my doctor and told a nurse what the lady at the pharmacy said. She said, "Really? I'll take care of this."

    So I waited till this am to call Kroger because of the bandage they put on me at the doctor's office needed to be change today. Guess what? Not filled yet! They told me they were waiting on approval from my doctor. MY DOCTOR ORDERED IT! They needed to know what it was used for, where it was being put and how much was being used. They told me yesterday even if it got approved, they did not have any in their store, that I would have to go to Piqua. I asked the pharmacist could they have it brought up from the Piqua store and they told me no. Really? I told him they were ** Useless! Now, I have to wait till Monday, call my doctor's office again and go over this same issue. Meanwhile, I'm suppose to go back to the doctor next Thursday for the debridement again. Any use in that?

    Kroger, I'm so sorry, your Sidney Pharmacy is as bad as CVS Pharmacy in Sidney. Both are too busy and overworked to show they care. I'm stuck with you because Walgreens (I think they walk on water) no longer takes Tricare which is a military insurance!

    I have a catastrophic illness that requires a lot of medication. Last year is was around 250,000 and you would think for that kind of money this pharmacy would want to fill these prescriptions for me. I have great difficulty in getting my medicine on time. This last month ** sent the refill to my old doctor even after I told her many times of the new doctor's information. My last order was missing a very important prescription and she lied about sending the script to my correct doctor and importantly she sent out my order without this prescription and never let me know and never said anything. I was left to research and find out what she did this time. It's now the middle of the month and I have not received my medication. I called this morning and the manager would not come to the phone. Her name is **. This pharmacy has been horrible. "Kroger" bought out the old pharmacy I used to go to and so I was atomically their customer.

    I had amazing service from the old pharmacy and now it's Kroger and life is hell because of them. When I can't get my medicine and am forced to go through the process of finding a new pharmacy and get all new prescriptions from my doctor and then find a great pharmacy like the old one before this one. This pharmacy constantly will send out needles the wrong size that leave me bleeding and this is an assault on my health. The person who is on my account should be fired. I even lost it and yelled at her for her constantly lying. That ruined my day, who likes to fight for fairness and their medicine. I have decided I will keep filing documents and keep going up the chain of command here including sending my story to the NYT newspaper and any radio and editorial I can get to help me expose this incredible story.

    The pharmacy could correct this by just having a stock of what we get every month. They believe they save money by not stocking medicine and so it makes the customer have to go to the pharmacy many times to get their monthly order or it traps a person in their home many days a month waiting for the delivery. If my hardship is not interesting to you, then educating the population on why they must go many times in a month to get their monthly order will bring some understanding and maybe congress or our state representatives can stop this putting the customer "last" to an end.

    On several occasions the pharmacy has "shorted" our 90 day prescriptions by providing only a 60 day supply. Note that these are NOT prescriptions for controlled substances, just your basic heart and blood pressure meds. When questioned about the discrepancy they first claimed that our insurance wouldn't pay for 90 days. Wrong... The GoodRX insurance we use encourages getting 90 day supplies, as do all insurance companies. Then they tried to claim that's how the doctor wrote the prescription. Again, wrong. If that were the case, the prescription wouldn't have been labeled as being 2/3 filled. At that point they didn't try to make up any more excuses, and promised to put a note in my records that I will not accept any partially filled prescriptions.

    Why do they do this? The more you come in for prescriptions, the more shopping you end up doing. Yesterday, for example, I ended up spending $140 on groceries. That's a typical prescription run for us. I hope they realize that I can quickly shift all that business over to one of their competitors, which I will do if they short me again.

Returned in like 45 minutes, it will be another 10-15 minutes and asked by the pharmacist “Don’t you have any more shopping to do”? I said no and I’d just wait. Long story but I walked out after nearly 2 hours in the store without my prescription.

    We went back in a couple of days to pick it up and guess what? It’s almost done, it’ll be a few minutes. They promised my wife they would transfer all prescriptions from Colorado for us, no they did not. Lastly a few minutes ago, I called to refill a cholesterol med that was supposedly transferred and it failed. I held to speak to someone, young lady asked what I needed and immediately gave me the heavy sighs indicating she likely just didn’t want to deal with it.

    I'm a customer that uses Kroger on a regular basis. Estimated I spend more than $15,000.00 dollars a year. The problems are getting prescriptions filled in time. If you bring a paper filled prescription in the day before and ask to pick up the next morning. They will tell you that can't be done and it won't be filled until after 1:00 or 2:00 PM in the afternoon. A great problem because it makes you wait and stops you from going to do things. Especially if you're planning a weekend getaway early. Why you have to wait is unknown. Another thing they do is if you bring a prescription in to be filled and say you'll wait for the fill, they always tell you it will be two hours.

    Yesterday I took a prescription into fill. They said it wouldn't be filled for two hours. So I sent down at the pharmacy. I put it in a little bit before 12:00 PM. I sat there for about two hours and finally received the prescription filled at all most 2:00 PM. I even wrote to Kroger with the problem on email. They said they would email an answer today. I've not received anything. You know you can go into just all pharmacies that aren't connected to Kroger and have a prescription brought in filled in about 10 to 20 minutes.

    Why should anyone have to wait all these hours? It seems very disrespectful to all consumers. I'm wondering if managers are aware of this. Is this allowed by pharmacy manager or Kroger manager. I may have to change pharmacy because of the bad pharmacy hours. And to have to set and wait for two hours to have a prescription filled is really bad. I hope that pharmacy managers will read this and do something to change the bad things going on.

    Kroger Snellville GA & Grayson GA - I’ve found a gold mine with these two stores. Those that have been there a while are fabulous. I’ve found to always call each time just to make sure your prescription is ready. And don’t call or drop off a prescription and let it sit for a week. There are other patients that could use those pills if you're not going to get them in an allotted time. Now the new people are not as friendly as Kate and the old crew. I can only hope that the old crew will wear off on these new ones.

    These people have done me so wrong and I don't understand why they keep doing it again and again for well over a year. I've tried to explain to these morons that I have agoraphobia and I call to have meds ready so I don't have to sit in the store because it makes me a nervous wreck. They text me that all five are ready on Oct 23 2018 and price for them. They put them back after 14 days. Well today is Oct 30 2018 and had to wait in store again to get them ready and now I'm shaking all over. The Debbie or Debra who helped me laughed at me at the register.

    I have had two bad experiences with my local Kroger Pharmacy but this one today has convinced me it is time to take my business elsewhere, not only for prescriptions but for groceries as well. I have two rare medical disorders which make my blood pressure medicine the literal difference between life and death. My conditions are so rare it took multiple hospital stays of over a combined 30 days over the span of two years to finally diagnose it. This was at one of the most respected medical centers in the world, not some local hospital with limited capabilities.

    The last hospital stay which was 10 days I was finally diagnosed and the proper medication found to keep my blood pressure from climbing out of control. For example when I checked in for that stay through the ED my BP was 276/169 and climbing. I spent 5 days in the CVICU while they tried to figure out how to keep my BP under control. Another 5 days in a stepdown ward to tweak the medications and finally released to come home.

    Two days ago my BP medication was running low and since the hospital pharmacy where my medication was originally filled is almost an hour away I did an online transfer to my local Kroger Pharmacy. According to the transfer messages it went through without a hitch and I was told via message that my prescription would be ready by 3 PM on October 3rd. I didn't have a problem with that since I had enough to make it through the next two days. This afternoon around 3 PM I began getting nervous because I still had not gotten any notification that my prescription was ready so I called the pharmacy and the pharmacist told me that according to the records the transfer was successful but that it wasn't due to be filled until tomorrow.

    I explained to him that unlike the average high blood pressure patient if I miss a dosage it can literally mean death and he assured me that there wouldn't be a problem and in his words "Give me a couple of hours and it will be ready" so I thanked him and hung up. At 7 PM my wife went to pick up the prescription and called me to say that it wasn't ready and that it couldn't be filled because there were zero refills available which I knew was wrong because I still had the discharge papers from just a few weeks ago that showed my medications and the refills available. My wife must have had her phone on speakerphone and I heard the woman say that the pharmacy had called and told her there were no refills. I said that was bullcrap and asked what the hell was I supposed to do as nobody said a word about there being no refills until it was too late to do anything about it and missing it could literally kill me.

    What was her response? Was it "I'm so sorry... I will try to call the pharmacy and see if they can reach your doctor and get something done"? No... her reaction was to snidely say "I don't have to listen to that". Really lady? Your company's incompetence as well as yours could literally kill me but 'hell' is just too strong for you? If you think I'm being melodramatic look up autonomic dysfunction and Baroreflex failure topped with PTSD and you will get a small idea of what I deal with on a daily basis. The last thing I need is some lady who seems as if she couldn't care less if I live or die. Thanks for nothing.

    Fortunately for me I have the best PCP on the planet and was able to call him at home at get him to call in an emergency prescription for me and I was able to take it just a few minutes late. What it did do was convince me it's time to take my prescription and grocery business elsewhere. Our family has literally spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years at Kroger but that is coming to an end. Enough is enough, and I may only have a short time left on this earth. I don't need to spend it giving money to a company who couldn't seem to care less about me.

He had burns all over his face neck and arms and it still warm out so you could see everything and so they did Nied filling his prescription right away without calling anybody without checking on anything. It was about noon on a weekday so they could call the doctor and checked on it. By the way he is Mexican so they turn them away and I filed a complaint with everybody I can think of. The little pharmacist was named Megan. She just said she didn’t feel comfortable. I didn’t think pharmacist were in the business of feeling comfortable.

    Although I was pleasantly surprised to see that my medication cost less than Wal-Mart, the customer service is extremely slow. They are so understaffed. You cannot get anyone on the phone, forget that. Their phone system keeps you on the phone for about 10 minutes and then just disconnects. So if you need to know how much your new medication is, you have to go and stand in line forever more to find out. The Staff is friendly and do their best but clearly there is not enough employees working.

    Since Wal-Mart is closing, I'm worried about getting my medications in a timely fashion. I do like their prices but hate the long lines and it's unbelievable that I can't get anyone on the phone. I've never encountered that before and I've been to Walgreens, CVS, and Wal-Mart. I'm also ill and have trouble standing in line for 30 or 40 minutes. It's frustrating when they tell you that you have to come back and stand in line again. I remember going through this with my Father when I was picking his scripts up at the Kroger store near Hikes Lane and Bardstown Rd and it was like a madhouse, so many customers, long line. I would give them a better rating if it weren't for that.

    I have always been a Kroger shopper. While I am a loyal customer to the store, the pharmacy in the Willis, TX store does not deserve the same nor does it deserve my business. I started using that pharmacy when I moved to the area. Each time I attempt to pick up my medicines, I am told first thing that they do not have any prescription under my name. Once that gets straightened out, then of course I am told my prescriptions are not ready. Now, I am a person that drops off prescriptions, and will request it to be ready usually the following day or even a couple of days later. But sadly it never fails, when I return - always after the requested time for pickup - the prescriptions are not ready.

    The last time I attempted to pick up a new prescription that I had dropped off to be filled, they said they didn't have it, they had to search around the store till they found it, and I was told it was never scanned nor put into their system. (I have even been told they didn't have it when I attempted to pick up a refill on a prescription.) Anyway, after being told that this last time, when I arrived later to pick up the prescription, I was told again they had no prescription. A voice from the back of the pharmacy shouted, "Don't tell her that, I just filled it."

    The pharmacy sunk to a new low however when the medicine was handed to me and I was told by a pharmacist that she wasn't sure if it was the correct medication or strength so I needed to check with the doctor first to make sure that is what was prescribed. While I appreciate the warning, that does not seem to be the proper way of dispensing medications and I had assumed a pharmacist makes every effort to not dispense the wrong medications, but apparently that is not the case at this pharmacy.

    Just a note - when I dropped off the handwritten prescription, it was a hassle trying to get a straight answer on when I could expect the prescription to be ready - and I was willing to come back the following day for it. The person working the counter finally said that she had put it into the system requesting it be ready before the end of the current day, which she said meant they probably would not get around to working on it until the following day. I was stunned as I could not believe she had just said that. But of course, either she or the persons I spoke with later were not telling the truth since this is the prescription that I was told had never been put into the system or scanned. I wonder how many serious complications have arisen with their customers' health due to this pharmacy's staff's inability to perform its primary function in a professional manner?

Within that hour I asked about three times if my medicine was ready and was told each time: “I told you it was going to be one hour. It’s not one hour yet”. After waiting more than an hour I was finally told that they don’t have the medication for my child. Would not recommend this pharmacy to anyone. Especially with medication for asthma you want to give them to the child as soon as possible.

    Recently my fiance has been experiencing joint and muscle pain so on a recommendation from family, friends and my physician they suggested he try **. On 2 separate occasions, I purchased 2 boxes of the Kroger Brand. One with vitamin D and one without. My fiance went to open the package of one of the bottles and was reading the ingredients and informed me he was severely allergic to one of the ingredients used to make the product. Since neither package was opened, I told him I would return to the store for a refund.

    I went into Kroger tonight and tried to return both bottles but was told I would have to wait for manager who just happened to go to break before I arrived. So the only customer service clerk said to wait, which I did, 20 minutes. Upon return of the manager she proceeded to look something up in the computer and then told me no record of what I purchased was on my card. I said that shouldn't matter and simply asked for my money back. She said there was no way to refund me the money and that it was company policy.

    They said since I didn't have a receipt and couldn't find the purchase on Kroger card receipt log that I was stuck with the 2 bottles of **. I said, "That is stupid. You refuse to refund my money." I wasted over 30 minutes of my time and now I am stuck with 2 bottles of pills my fiance can't take and I am out the money. This is wrong on all levels. Secondly, there needs to be more than one manager capable of assisting with these type of issues. If one is on break, someone needs to be there to cover and be able to perform all tasks. Horrible business policies. Horrible customer service. You just lost my business and I will be letting friends and family know as well. Would give zero stars if I could.

    This is regarding Rushville Indiana Kroger pharmacy. Our Walmart closed and we were forced to change pharmacies. Had my scripts sent over. I called on Monday and made sure they had them. They said yes, most were due the 15th but one the 16th. She asked if I'd just like to pick them all up on the 16th. So I'm the afternoon of the 15th I called and asked that they be ready in the morning, no problems she said. I don't live in town. So I try to get everything in one trip. So I go in on the 16th. Asked for my medications. They only had 3 ready and were holding on to my ** in till tomorrow. There was no reason for this. The Dr even told them to fill it on the 16th. But they refused.

    They made me make another trip to town out of spite because I had called and tried to get them to do their jobs. There is no other reason... She gave me a nasty look at the counter and said, "Well it's gonna be another 25 minutes." I said, "Ok I'll be in the store." It wasn't 2 minutes later I got a text saying they were ready. So that proves they had them ready but made me wait an extra day just to be jerks about it. Definitely switching pharmacy. Kroger in Rushville Indiana is a joke. Very rude and extremely unprofessional. She was even rude when she rang me up. Three the pills in the bag and basically threw it at me and walked away. Wow. I've never been treated like a criminal that way in a store that is supposed to be very good at customer satisfaction and service. Stay away from them if you get anything that is a schedule drug. They will probably call your Dr or the police by the way they treated me.

    Over the last 6 months I've had nothing but headaches with this pharmacy. On occasion I will have my meds delivered (I have 7 total filled each month). There has been twice I've waited all day for the delivery and they never showed. Not even a phone call. I had to call them when it got to be 6-7pm. I've requested on at least 3 different occasions to stop sending notifications to my cell, as I don't check it, and send only to my email. Each time they've told me my cell was taken out of the system. They're still sending notifications to my cell. My meds are on automatic refill. On 2 occasions I've had to call about a med (the same one both times) that didn't get filled. They told me they thought I stopped taking it because they haven't filled it. I take this medication every day and they fill it EVERY month.

    The last straw was today. My meds (about 5 of them) were due to be filled. I had one more day left on at least one of them but received no email notification that they were filled. I was told more than a week ago that they were due in about 5 days. When I called today they told me they were due in 2 days. I guess I was suppose to not take my meds for 2-3 days. I will pick these meds up tomorrow and then will have all my medications switched to another pharmacy before they are due to be filled again.

    I had a workman's comp claim with the paperwork on who to bill. The pharmacy Tech copied the workman comp paperwork to keep with my prescription at the drop off time Wednesday about 4 pm. I went back around 815 pm to pick up my prescription assuming that everything was ready and with it being workman comp that I wouldn't have to pay anything. The pharmacy Tech who was checking me out said that I owed $11 and change. I told him it was a workman comp claim and that the lady who took my script made a copy of the workman comp information for billing. He left the counter for 1 minute. Upon returning he asked me if I had the original paper. Unfortunately for me, I did not. I had left it at home, again assuming that everything was good. I was not able to get my script that night. I wasn't able to make it back in to get my script til Friday morning.

    At that time the Tech had my script and removed it from the plastic bag along with the copy of the workman comp paper that was originally copied. She entered the information from the workman comp paper and asked me where my place of employment was and they needed my ss#. She looked a little confused after entering my info. She then left the counter and upon returning she told me that my script was cancelled. I turned and walked out. She did apologize, but I didn't have the patience to listen to anything at that time. At 1 pm I called Kroger Pharmacy and asked to speak with the manager. He was able to figure out the problem over the phone and had my script ready in 15 minutes. My suggestion to pharmacy Techs that work the counter. If you can't take care of a customer that needs their medication. Get a manager. I had to go two days in pain because of the incompetence or lack of knowing what to do in my case.

While the locals were happy to work with me, this tells me that there's a big problem with the online feature, probably hacking!
