Hi, I'm currently taking a medication which I’ve come to learn (over li'l time) is rarely in stock and some of the compounds used are different per manufacturer. I never knew this was a “thing” with different generics. So I found Walgreens in Scranton who carry it (per my Dr.). When I called, I had asked for a manager who was very helpful in explaining it briefly and was willing to honor my Rx monthly even though It's not where I go normally due to the distance from my home. So I’d like to thank him for doing this, I explained the terrible side effects I had before and almost stopped the medication as it was introduced to me late in life. Extremely different results per manuf. brand. Thank you again Walgreens (mgmt.) for helping me stabilize my life because it's crazy enough! Kudos to you and your team! Doing much better in Pa!

Everything I order prescription refills it takes 3 to 5 days (depending if a weekend is involved). When I ask why there is always a delay, the nonchalant response is "we have to order the medicine." I am not taking uncommon medication. Their computer system is antiquated. It seems to always be down or in the middle of the day, I try to log in to check the status and it is down for maintenance. In the middle of the day??

After one Walgreens pharmacy location in Minneapolis dropped the ball entirely on my first request to transfer a prescription (they never bothered to contact my home pharmacy), I was two days behind on an important medication. So I went to a second Walgreens location nearby, which also failed to contact my home pharmacy for several hours after I made my request (they only acted when I stood at the consultation window and said that I would stay there until they made the call).
At that point, I was told that I should go home and wait to get a text when the prescription was filled. Six hours later, near bedtime and my third day without the medication, I hadn't heard anything, so I called to check the status and was told that the pharmacy was "too busy" to fill my prescription: they were filling prescriptions only for people who were physically waiting in line and would get to mine "after things slowed down"--perhaps around midnight.

I drove up to the drive thru window where there was a sign letting me know the drive thru was closed, but the pharmacy in the store was open. I parked my car can came inside. I looked around for about 30 seconds, picked up an item to buy and went to the pharmacy counter. The employee was talking to another customer (I didn't listen to the conversation, they seemed to be chatting, which has happened before when I go inside and when I'm at the drive thru) and there were 3 people sitting in the chairs. Once the customer at the counter left, I walked up, and said I had 3 to pick up and gave them my last name. The associate at the counter pointed to a screen behind the counter that I could not see. He said nothing. I said I don't know what that means. He said it says we have a problem; I can't do anything (I'm paraphrasing, I don't remember exactly what he said).
I said it would be helpful if they said that on the notice at the drive thru instead of saying the pharmacy was open inside. He said nothing. Apparently, I was supposed to know the power just went out, and the people waiting in the chairs were waiting for the system that just went out to come back and pick up their prescriptions. I thought they were waiting for their prescriptions to be filled.
I found out the power just went out when one of the three customers sitting in the chairs chastised me for mentioning the sign on the drive thru should say they are having system issues. I'm mad at myself because I should have stopped using Walgreens because the service is rotten. This store must want less customers and is trying to lose them by making them leave.

This pharmacy at 29th ave and Northern, is very incompetent. I have had no insurance since March of this year so I use Goodrx and Goodrx Companion that I specifically pay for because it reduces the price of my prescription so much. Every month I get the same meds filled, every month they call me and say, "Oh do you not have insurance?", and every month I respond with, "No I don't, I use Goodrx, Goodrx companion", and I've given them that information monthly as well. So yesterday my Dr calls in my pain meds, I have a lot of health issues and in extreme pain. As usual the pharmacist calls with the same question, after 7 months!! I tell him again I don't have insurance. I use Goodrx and Goodrx companion, he says, "Oh ok, alright that works. I'll get that put in and get the meds completed", I say, "Ok thanks."
Now my husband goes to pick up my pain meds that are due, like I need them since I got shorted 20 pills last month, pharmacist tells me I lost them since they only had 100 and I decided to pick up what they did have, but I was told I could come get them but on a certain day, but pharmacist yesterday said, "No that's not true," I can't get the 20 I'm owed because I'd need a new script due to the way somebody put in my Goodrx info",, yet it shows online I still have a partial refill remaining, but I digress. So as my husband goes to pick them up I'm on the phone with him and they go, "Does she have insurance?" ARE YOU SERIOUS??!! So he tells them again., "No, she uses Goodrx,or Goodrx companion, she told you guys at 3:46pm when the pharmacist called and asked her the same question, so not sure what the issue is", they come to the window with a total price of $65, it should be under $32, I get them every month.
They say, "Yeah the insurance only paid so much..." INSURANCE??!!! WHAT INSURANCE??!!!, We tell them there is no insurance, they say there is. I think I would know if I had insurance, I've only ever gave them Goodrx info and we tell them that's wrong. My husband pulls around to park and go in. I call and talk to the pharmacist, I'm irate because not only have we been dealing with this problem since March, but I just spoke to the pharmacist at 3:46pm when he called about if I had insurance and I said no I use only Goodrx or Goodrx companion that I pay for. He seemed to understand as I said he said, "Oh, ok I'll get that info put in and fill it."
So I call the pharmacy talk to the SAME EXACT PHARMACIST, I tell him I have no insurance. That if I did I would know that and that the only information I ever gave them was Goodrx and Goodrx companion info and have been since March of this year, that I was called earlier in regards to this exact issue and it's not MY fault that there's an ** working that can't do their job correctly and I'm tired of having to go through this monthly, he says "What did you say?," I go to repeat it, I get to ** and he hangs up.
I call and speak with the store manager Melody, and she's going to look into it, told her I said it's not My fault there's an ** working there and I'm assuming it was the pharmacist, is why he got offended. As I told her it's irritating having to go through this every month and stressful that the workers don't listen to the customers when they call and want information and don't put that information in correctly and have to struggle to have them do their job correctly. She calls back and says that I can pay the $65. That they won't correct the mistake and I can't use that Walgreens again.
I tell her I'm not paying that price, that it's their mistake and I can't get the meds transferred. They're pain meds and I'm going to go through withdrawals because the Dr can't call them in until Monday and I'm being punished and they're risking my health because every month the pharmacy can't get their act together, even though every month they call me and they get the same response, I didn't state he's an **. I said whoever can't input information they ask me about correctly is an **.
I worked in retail for a little over 30 years. When a customer is talking with me and asking me and or giving me information I'm requesting I put that information in and if there's a problem I handle it till it's corrected, I don't argue and say well you have insurance when that person clearly states they don't and has had a history of no insurance. This Walgreens location is the only one I've done across that can't get it together or understands what a customer is telling them. I guarantee because of my many health conditions being 49 yrs old, if I end up in the hospital due to withdrawals from pain medication and it causes a medical emergency they will be sued for not doing their job. They need to be retrained on listening to customers and following through.

They made a major change to their Telephony system in the past few weeks (Oct 2026). Rather than go directly to the local place, the system requires me to go to someone who is not helpful. Then they transfer me... gone from 5-7 minutes on hold to 3 calls of 18 min ago.

Walgreens will give you partial prescription charge your insurance and you and not give you the rest for your pills that you paid for. They said I waited too long but their automated call system sucks and doesn’t give correct information. I take these pills for 5 days to stop bleeding so I do not need them until then. They robbed me and my insurance company and should get away with it.

Have used Walgreens for years. In past few years my wife and I have began having prescription issues with Walgreens. Today I spent an hour trying to refill a prescription. Wesley Chapel store notified me they couldn’t refill my prescription. Apparently my prescription was moved to Illinois by someone who Walgreens couldn’t say who did it. Never lived in the state. I had to call Illinois pharmacy to cancel. They had no idea who ordered refill with them. I canceled prescription. Then called Wesley Chapel store so I could refill it.
Explained to store staff that don’t run it through insurance as I pay out of pocket for it. Within 5 minutes, got voicemail from Walgreens that they could not refill prescription because of insurance issues. Called Walgreens again and explained to clerk that prescription is not covered by insurance so don’t run it through. Waiting to see if they can finally get it right.

Without a doubt, this is the worst pharmacy chain in the USA. Uniformly rude, clueless checkout clerks who act like they are doing customers a favor by serving them. Nasty store managers who hide in the back office doing who-knows-what. (Some of the pharmacists are okay, though.) Pricing schemes that are designed to trick customers. Really, it would difficult to be worse.

Terrible service. The same day delivery of $5.99 is a total scam. It does not yet delivered the same day or even the next.

When I called the insurance company, I was told, they had not even received the request from the pharmacy.

I have two complaints: my local pharmacy rarely answers the phone AND today, the pharmacy is closed with a sign at the pharmacy that says "due to staffing issues." I blame these problems on both the store manager AND corporate management and I.T. protocols. My wife, who uses a wheelchair, needed to pick up a prescription. I called the pharmacy BUT was put on an interminable HOLD - with no warning that no one was there! I helped my wife get in the car and loaded her wheelchair in the trunk. We arrived at the pharmacy where there was no exterior notice about the pharmacy being closed, helped my wife into her wheelchair and entered only to find the pharmacy shuttered closed.
In addition to the failures of the store manager to provide better notice, WALGREENS MANAGEMENT is also responsible because despite the additional responsibilities given to pharmacies re vaccinations and other services, corporate management is not staffing pharmacies adequately. Don't listen to how difficult it is to hire because management controls the workload, salary and benefits that either attract or repel applicants. The result: Walgreens abused me, my wife, and virtually all other users of the pharmacy services. Shame on Walgreens!

The girl working the cash register at 10:20 pm on 9/30/26 at 5345 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX 78723 was extremely rude to me. As a paying customer, I entered the register area and rang the bell for help because they put locks on their bathrooms. I waited back there for 10 minutes while the associate ignored me. I finally came out and up to the front desk, and she raised her voice to yell to me that the restrooms were "closed" because I guess she didn't want to have to run back there to do her job. I
told her I didn't know because there was no sign and she told me that the umbrella rack she rolled in front of the bathroom area should have been enough to tell me they were closed, implying I'm dumb in front of other customers and said I should have figured it out. It's currently night time, so I thought maybe shelves were being stocked and things were moved around. She was already clearly irritated with me when I walked up and was horribly unprofessional. I would have been completely fine using the restroom somewhere else, but her attitude was embarrassing and confrontational. I will never ever come back. and will make sure that nobody I know does either.

HORRIBLE!!! EVERY TIME I go pick up my prescriptions in the drive-thru, it takes FOREVER-no exaggeration. Today I got behind 2 cars and waited FORTY MINUTES before I even got to the window. It got to the point that a bunch of us drivers in line were hanging out our windows and raging at each other about how ridiculous that place is. And it's not just the one I was at on Albermarle Road in Charlotte. It's ALL of them. They have ONE PERSON at the inside window AND the drive thru who also answers the phone if they feel like it. And those employees do NOT rush. Why should they at what they get paid? Yesterday, I called to ask why my script was delayed.
After being on hold for 18 minutes, I submitted a feedback form telling them how horrible they are. Within the hour, I got a text saying it was ready to pick up. No call, email or text with an apology. I understand that good Customer Service is a thing of the past, and I hate it. But those people just DON'T CARE!!! They've lost my business, and I'm sure they don't care about that either. If they can't hire enough staff, they should close down.

I could not believe that and that is only one instance.
They have also failed to give me the appropriate of amount of medication than what was actually prescribed by my doctor and their customer service is absolutely horrendous, especially on the phone. You try to call them anytime at all and the only thing you hear is you are the fifth person in line. Your wait time is 5000 hours. I'm thinking what in the... I don't know if they're just shortstaffed or if they're completely incompetent. I don't know but whatever the issue is they need to fix it or they're going to go under.

If I could give this pharmacy 0 stars I would. Walgreens is the closest pharmacy to my house and I have tried over and over again to use them but every single time I leave angry and disappointed. They will not have the medicine in stock but say nothing about it then I go to pick it up and they tell me. They tell you a time its going to be ready then you wait in line for 45 minutes just for them to tell you it will be another hour. This last time did it for me though- my 5 year old was sick off and on for almost 3 weeks I took her to the ER she had strep throat and impetigo. I thought since both of her prescriptions were easy kids antibiotics it would be fine. I was wrong. They didn’t have either medicine when my husband went to get it and when I called them to ask them to send to a different pharmacy pharmacy, the lady was rude then hung up. Not only will I never use this pharmacy again, I will avoid Walgreens altogether for the rest of my life.

This review is for Walgreens, Pharmacy, 3040 W. Michigan Ave. Jackson, MI, store manager, Michael and Pharmacy Mgr, Julie ** and Pharmacy Tech, Sarah. In May of this year, I contacted this pharmacy and spoke to Pharmacy Mgr, regarding transferring my medications from another pharmacy, due to recently moving to Jackson, MI. Because of the nature of medications that my doctor prescribes to me, I wanted clarification, from Walgreens, on their policies on filling schedule medications, she explained to me Walgreens policies. Not once did she or any other employee of Walgreens, bring up that your doctor has to be in a 50 mile radius of the pharmacy.
My first RX was on 5/19/26, on 6/29/26, when my 2nd RX was filled, I had called and spoke to pharmacy to let them know that I no longer had insurance and inquired on using a discount card, Julie, the pharmacy manager, herself, was on the phone with me, when she mentioned, that she seen that my doctor, was outside the 50 mile radius and I told her that yes, and that I had never had anyone inquire about that, but explained to her my doctor used to be at another location and then relocated to Monroe, MI and I did not want to change primary physician, so I drive to Monroe, MI for my visits. She said that she understood and proceeded to fill my prescriptions, she never stated that it was only for one month, then she couldn't anymore. Then I filled my 8/3/26 rx's and not once did the subject come up and I used the discount card again.
Yesterday, 9/3/26, my primary sent over to Walgreens, my refills, yet once again. The only thing that changed, is that I called the pharmacy, to be proactive, to let them know, that I have Michigan Health Plan (Straight Medicaid), spoke to Sarah and provided her my ID#, although she was not able to find me in the medicaid system, she told me just to bring the approval letter in.
Therefore, today, 9/4/26, I called DHS, and got the correct ID#, then immediately called Walgreens, to give the pharmacy the number and to apologize for missing a call, from earlier. Only to be told by Pharmacy Tech who answered the phone, that one medicine was on order and the other could not be filled because my Doctor was outside the 50 mile radius. I told her that it was ok once before and she asked me to hold and Julie ** gets on the line, pharmacy mgr, and she said she wanted to know why my doctor was prescribing me a stimulant and a pain medicine and that she felt my doctor should not do this.
I am so taken back by this, I get you have guidelines and policies and I am absolutely on board with Walgreens' rule about the 50 mile radius, however, I have been filling my medicines, the same medicines, since May of 2026, and now she feels my doctor is wrong, or is it I have Medicaid?? None of this came up on 8/3/26, nor did Walgreens ever ask me or tell me that I would either have to get another pharmacy or another doctor, because my Dr is outside of the 50 mile radius. Julie transfers me to Store Mgr, Michael and he proceeds to make excuses and says I should have known they were giving me a courtesy, and I should have known it would have to change. Hello, how am I going to know without Walgreens stating, we will fill this for you this month (6/29/26), but we will not be able to do it again, but to turn around and fill them on 8/3/26, with no questions.
I understand the liabilities that the pharmacy/doctors have, especially filling rx's of opiates and other schedule medications, I have a niece who is a pharmacist, but to deliberately withhold medications, from me, is wrong, especially on a holiday weekend, when doctors' offices, sometimes close earlier and I am out of medication. I am not a junkie and I am not a pill seeker or a person who uses several pharmacies and I am very familiar with the MAPS system, I was in healthcare. I go to my scheduled doctor visits and I sign and abide by my pain contract with my physician, so tell me Walgreens, WHY is it because I am on Medicaid and you are not getting a kickback or making a certain %.? I can answer this, because you employ people that are not consistent in their duties to carry out these policies and when you discover that you made a mistake, you punish and stereotype me, because of a medicine I take.
Since Julie thinks she knows my medical history and feels she can make decisions for my primary physician, then she clearly knows withholding my medication, because thinks my primary physician does not know what she is doing, then she knows it is ILLEGAL. I am sending this to the State of Michigan as well as the Michigan Board of Pharmacy, Michigan Bureau of Professional Licensing, Michigan Department of Insurance and the Michigan Attorney General.

The Nashboro Village pharmacy lets one patient park in its drive through while other patients wait over 35 minutes and then abuses the senior cancer patient refusing to give her the medication she’s been waiting on and tells her if she wants it she will have to come inside, exposing herself to many people who may have contagious illnesses, forcing her to walk when she’s already suffering, in addition to withholding needed medication prescribed by her oncologist. So if you support abuse, abuse of a 66-year old, abuse of a 66-year old cancer patient, and abuse by withholding medication to treat a condition caused by the cancer treatment, give Walgreens more business. If, on the other hand, you want to be served by non-abusive and actual providers, transfer to Publix at Mt View or and it may also save you money. My old cancer self saved $13.

My parents are elderly and have multiple health conditions. They have been picking up their prescriptions from the Walgreens on 100 SE in Arlington, Texas, for the last 10 years. However, over the past year or so, we have experienced numerous problems. On multiple occasions, prescriptions appear as "ready" in the app, but when we arrive at the store to pick them up, they are not ready. I have been very patient, but this latest incident was the final straw.
My mother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and relies on specific medications for her memory and sleep. Last week, I ordered three of her necessary medications through the app as I always do, and they showed up as ready for pickup. When my father went to retrieve them, he was told the prescriptions had been sent to another location without our consent. At this point, my mother had only three pills left. My dad called me and put the person on duty on the phone, who could not explain what happened but promised to transfer all three medications back to this store and have them ready by Tuesday (three days later). When Tuesday arrived, only one medication was ready. Two days after that, the second prescription was ready, but the sleeping medication was still missing. By this time, my mother was completely out of her sleep medication, which is a critical issue for an Alzheimer’s patient.
When I checked the app again on Saturday, it finally listed the sleeping medication as ready for pickup. My dad drove back to Walgreens, only to be told yet again that it was still at the other location. I spoke with the person on duty over the phone to find out what happened, but instead of taking responsibility, she tried to blame the doctor, my dad, me, and everyone else. She was extremely disrespectful, failed to apologize, and refused to take any accountability for their repeated mistakes. My parents have ALWAYS picked up their prescriptions at this specific location, and these were not new prescriptions. I am extremely disappointed with how business is handled at this store. They are playing with people’s health and showing complete disregard for their patients' well-being.
