    I got a message from email that my prescriptions were ready to refill so I hit reply. I was in the area so I stopped by to pick them up and was told that one of them was too early to refill. This is C3 substance but it was 3 days early and I have been picking up 3 days early for months. Also I had the bottle in hand and it was filled 4/12 and today is 5/11. The pharmacist was incredibly rude. She completely shut down when I was talking to her and then lied saying that it was United States law not to allow a controlled substance not to be refilled more than 2 days early. I told her that wasn't true which only made her more mad. She crossed her arms and said VERY rudely "Well it's our store policy now."

    It seems like every year there is a new pharmacy manager right out of school who has no interest in customer satisfaction, they are there to be a roadblock to people getting their medication. They automatically assume anyone with a controlled substance is an addict. This manager LIED to me about a law and then was nasty and rude when I said it wasn't true. I told them I am going to transfer this script to another pharmacy. She didn't care as long as I wasn't getting it filled today. That was the most important thing to her, not customer service and the fact that it was ONE day, but her little bit of power in a small pond. Corner of highway 92 and King Road in Georgia. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    Yesterday I went to get pictures developed and had the WORST SERVICE! NEVER have I felt RUSHED and questioned on developing my pictures! The so called "Shift leader Teresa" needs to go get classes on how to treat paying customers! She question me on the pictures I was developing, wanted me to finish because another customer needed to wire money! She did not allow me to print my pictures at the kiosk I was at and said if I printed them there it would be more. When the machine clearly stated, "00 charge if printed there"!

    After waiting 21 minutes in line to drop of 5 prescriptions for my children and self was told 4 was unable to be filled. Deciding against my better judgment I allowed them to fill 1. Was told it would be ready in 30 min. So I left and returned 45 min later it still wasn't ready. Being considerate I decided to leave again because I live very close by returning 35 min before closing. Two customers were ahead of me and as soon as I pulled up the technician stated they were closed. I explained I had been waiting for 35 min and she instantly snapped, "We will open tomorrow morning."

    I parked went in asked for a supervisor. After the runaround was told to return the next day. I wasn't having it. I instantly called customer service to complain and that's when I was offered for the prescription to be sent to another Walgreens. I will never return here again. And I will also take the time out of my day to continuously call customer care until this matter is handled properly.

    Walgreens Pharmacy. 692 SW Prima Vista Blvd, Port St Lucie, FL 34983. Pharmacy Manager. Years with Walgreens: 20. And she argues with customers but she is not the only one. There is one that real skinny and sometimes she has different colors of hair and she just has a bad attitude. I record any conversation I have with her. She will give you the runaround but then when you start getting other people involved then she starts helping you and get things done. But don't ever ask her why can't you wait for your prescription cause she will give you a ugly look and then smart mouth you. It always happens. Very bad service.

    I was in the doctor's office May 4th 2017 and I receive my regular prescriptions that I get every month. I took the prescriptions to my Walgreens Pharmacy 1215 Dunn Avenue. They didn't have the meds that I needed so they told me to go to another Walgreens on the next day which would have been a Saturday because most Walgreens do not fill on the 29th day. They fill on the 30th day so I waited until Saturday I went to the Walgreens on Lem Turner and Dunn. Went in there they said that they could not fill my prescription because they are not my home pharmacy. But my home pharmacy is closed on Saturday so I went to the Walgreens on Soutel. They said that they couldn't fill it because it's some code that's not in there. Both tell me I have to make them my home store which I am standing here with four prescriptions that needed to be filled and they could have filled them and that would have been my home store.

    They said starting filling your prescription at this store and that's how you make the change but OK I am here with them and there's nothing wrong with the prescription. It's the same ones every month. They're crazy so I am with no understanding of how to change my home store. No prescriptions. Not one of my meds until Monday and it's wrong. Doesn't make sense because my Walgreens Pharmacy on Dunn told me that I can get it filled at Walgreens on the 30th date but neither one of these Walgreens wanted to fill my prescription. One of my prescriptions is an anxiety pill. I have what you call Prolonged QT syndrome and my doctor will give me this pills to help keep me calm because it's triggered my prolonged stress is number one cause of it going off and everyone for some reason don't want to fill or can't fill and they completely gave me a runaround all day this Saturday.

    Tricare made a big mistake when they came back to Walgreens because each one of the pharmacist told me something different. Neither one of the pharmacy was on the same page each other. They have no idea what pharmacy rules are and I really thought that all the rules was the same at every Walgreens Pharmacy. I left with no understand why I couldn't get my meds that I get every month. The same time every month is in the system, is in the registry and I could not get a fill without going back to my main Walgreens. I don't how do I change Walgreens. One my Walgreens is not open on a Saturday. So confusing, so frustrated.

    I'm filing this complaint because Walgreens is a joke. If there's an emergency be aware that if your Walgreens is not open 24 hours and it is an emergency you will have trouble filling your prescription because they're going to tell you, "You have to wait until your home Walgreens is open." Consumers be aware of that and if it's any narcotics you cannot get it filled. None of the Walgreens will fill it. None of the Walgreens even though they're looking at your prescriptions and seen that you filling every month. They will not fill them so will be aware and stay up on Walgreens because they're a joke.

    Miss CVS. I wish Tricare would go back to CVS because Walgreens is rude they will give you the runaround and they just don't care. Monday I guess I'll see what happens. Like I told Walgreens if anything happens to me between now and Monday I will sue them for not being able to get my meds. I might just looking to a lawyer. Anyway never seen nothing like this, not acceptable.

    On April 23 the Community Walgreen's on 901 S Rancho Dr in Las Vegas filled a prescription for my anxiety medication. The next day I noticed that the bottle wasn't as full as it should have been. The script was for 60 and to my surprise I was short half of my pills. I called and told them what I discovered, I was put on hold so they could "count" what they had. I was told that they were short pills so there was no way they miscounted my script. Then I was told that something must have happened to them between there and my home. My elderly husband picked them up for me and I know for a fact that he didn't mess with my meds. They refused to give me the 30 pills I short and insinuated that one of us did something with them.

    I called my insurance company and the woman there was told a whole different story about the pill count they did. I called the district manager and he said he would investigate the matter and call me back. This was last week and so far nothing from him. This is unacceptable. I need my **. I suffer from extreme anxiety and I need all of my pills, not half and then be told too bad so sad. I am suffering because of an error they made, and just won't admit. Shame on you Community Walgreen's. I will resolve this issue before I run out of my meds and end up in the psych ward. I intend to call all the media outlets and my lawyer if needed.

    Got out of the Emergency Room tonight. My daughter had been seen for asthma related issues. Turns out she has pneumonia and needed a steroid and an antibiotic. So I rushed to the Walgreens in Knox Indiana and made it 15 minutes before close. When I went to fill them the pharmacist asked if I'd be back tomorrow. Informed her I needed them tonight for my daughter is very sick. She proceeded to tell me to try CVS because they were closing in 15 minutes. Went to CVS and they don't take her insurance. So now it looks like we're headed back to the ER. Will never step foot in another Walgreens!!!

    When I got prescription, I immediately realized something was missing out of compound so I took it back and left it so the pharmacist could compare and know he probably left the ** out. Honestly I don't know what was left out but I know this prescription was not right. I have spoke to the manager Cread at Walgreens, corporate office and Humana insurance. Conversations have been documented but no response. I need to take both compounds to have it proven. Compound prescription ** this claim has been going on since Jan. I had to wait until April to get prescription refilled. I had to suffer with flare up because I did not have compound and Walgreens would not acknowledge mistake. I went to my dermatologist and was prescribed ** cream after another flare up before I could get the right compound.

    I was hung up on three times in a row. I had to call the store manager in order to get anything done. The pharmacy techs, a female the first two times I called, the third a guy, act like they have no idea what they are doing. They act like they cannot read notes on an account. The pharmacy manager was gone. I had questions regarding my medications and the amount. If they would have apologized and said we are swamped or something of the sort, I would have accepted that and called back later when they weren't so swamped. Maybe I should have done that anyways, however, these 'techs' were so rude, and ridiculous, I know I will never go back to this particular store, and nor will my friends. I spoke to the store manager who seemed to understand what I needed, and she offered to call me back and let me know what was going on. Within five minutes, 5 MINUTES!

    I received a callback. Rosa or Rosie, sorry, called me to let me know exactly what I needed to know. Why couldn't the pharmacy techs do that? I have made sure to go to each one of your sites and post this as well. I also don't appreciate being hung up on. Especially no apology after calling back and getting the same person. I am still very upset with the staff at this store. I really hope either y'all get some training going for these people on customer service, or maybe you just wait and see what the board of medicines has to say. I do not know what my order number is as I stated none of the techs would listen to me or help me out. No one apparently could read anything on my account. Please, get some training for your pharmacy people, because just having their certifications isn't enough apparently. You apparently don't have to know how to read to get this certification either. At least not for Walgreens.

Wth?? So I called, the pharmacist said, "Well you've been getting this filled often, so I gave a call in to your doctor." I am pissed, I said "That why he gave me refills." I have numerous medical conditions, but this is a joke. I hung up and called my physician's office and left a message for his nurse explaining, my severe migraines lately, which I talked to my doctor about at my last appt, that WHY HE GAVE ME REFILLS.

    I have numerous medical conditions, um on medications, as well as numerous inhalers, oxygen etc.... THE PHARMACIST is not my PHYSICIAN, AND I SEEN NO NEED TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO HIM. My physician gave me my prescription with refills. If the pharmacist wanted to be a PHYSICIAN, he should have studied to be one, not to dictate someone's need for a medication prescribed by MY PHYSICIAN.

    So today I went to Walgreens, store #204 in Arizona. The pharmacist on duty was very, very rude. She told me that she's refusing to fill my scripts, which I then asked her for her name so that I could report her. She refused to give me her name. No first name or last given at all. She said she's not giving me her name and then said "figure it out." I proceeded to the front of Walgreens and asked the front clerk what the pharmacist's name is. He said he has no clue. He said he thinks it's Judith.

    So I went to my car and called the store from my phone. I asked for the store manager on duty. The person on the phone said that they were the manager on duty. I asked for his name, which he said was Carl. Carl's voice sounded familiar to me so I asked Carl if he was the front cashier that I spoke to about the rude pharmacist. He said yes, he was whom I spoke to. I asked Carl, "you're the store manager of this Walgreens and you don't know the name of the store pharmacist on duty?" I asked Carl for his last name, which he refused to give. This kind of service is so, so wrong on so many different levels.

Appears this is one of their sell tactics to automatically call and set up more refills. If it's important I know when it's empty!

    Called in a refill to Walgreens pharmacy on their phone system for a skin treatment cream. The system said that it would be ready the following day after 10:00 am. When I arrived I was told that they had to contact my doctor because I had used a 30 day supply too fast. The clerk said "I don't know how large of an area is affected, but that was a thirty day supply." Found this to be a little bold of a statement to make in a public area full of people waiting for prescriptions. I'm fairly sure she wasn't qualified to judge anyway. I left and they called the doctor they claim and had him issue another prescription for another product.

    When my wife picked up the prescription, they told her that they changed the prescription because the insurance wouldn't cover the other cream until 30 days went by. I would have liked to have had the option as a customer to pay for the medicine myself rather than face their control of my health. The current situation is this, I called in the cream again yesterday and again the system said it would be available for pickup today after 10 am. This morning Walgreens called and said that there was a problem with the insurance again. Now it's 1:10 pm and I have no idea what they're doing. Thanks for a place to vent!

    Walgreens on Silverlake Rd. Fenton Mi and their newest pharmacist Courtney are horrible. I understand many of us seem to complain due to a scheduled drug we are prescribed by our doctor. First let me say if you feel we are truly addicts who are only complaining because we can't get our "drugs" you could not be further than the truth. Of course there are many who abuse these medications but many of us do not and deserve respect and to be treated with respect, like normal people picking up our prescriptions without judgment and stating that medication out loud which clearly goes against HIPPA laws but Walgreens seems to be exempt.

    Yes the DEA tried to crack down stating that narcotic drugs are killing more people than any other drug. However I highly doubt that. Alcohol has always been a number one killer but you can walk in a store and get 151 proof vodka without as much as a look? Unbelievable! A bit of history about myself, I never needed any prescription drugs! I was healthy and took Advil for a headache that's it!! Life happens and diseases creep up and no it's not always cancer that requires pain meds. Many diseases cause terrible and chronic pain and if you're faced with taking a medicine like ** for life or suffering I believe most will choose the medicine.

    I have tried EVERY other home remedy out there, yoga, ridiculous things I see online, barbaric surgeries that have made me worse, medications where I lost my hair and gained 30 lbs, I have tried everything! My DOCTOR has been on this journey with me and is ok with prescribing pain medications so that I may have some quality of life.

    However, Walgreens has appointed themselves physicians and the judge and jury when it comes to if you will get your pain medication through them. In my case Courtney the pharmacist at my local Walgreens has made it her point to make this an impossibility and has went against all HIPPA laws and common decency. She will not be fired however because every year this pharmacy has a new face. Seven years of coming to Walgreens off and on and I lost count of how many pharmacist they have had. All pharmacist there; no different than the last because Walgreens corporation will defend the unethical decisions and actions of their pharmacies.

    Since being highly fined (Look up Walgreens fined by DEA) when the DEA first made ** a scheduled drug some years back, it was never a scheduled drug prior to this new law which has caused many of us in chronic pain to suffer. Every case is different but perhaps if you ask some of us we can share our story of why we are even getting a pain medication. Does anyone honestly believe that given the choice of absolutely no pain or a lifetime of pain meds that most would not choose no pain?

    If ever they want to try and find a cure for what causes my pain I will be so very happy but in the meantime pharmacies like Walgreens needs a course on human decency 101 and to be reminded why they even have a job in the first place. Lying about not having a medication, stating insurance does not cover something it has for over five years, stating very loudly "I will not refill your NARCOTIC", being rude, slow, making up rules as they see fit, using their "discretion" to call your doctor and state you should not be on a medication, refusing to refill my prescription and just being an overall jerk have been my past and more recent experiences with Walgreens and other pharmacists.

    Something has to be done! Pharmacist are NOT physicians and if they feel want to be, they should have simply went to medical school to be a doctor. I know the politics involved, I came very close to being in the medical field myself but life events stopped this. It's simply an epidemic lately but nobody will be accountable let alone make a change that will allow customers the right to be treated with a minuscule of respect.

    I am truly hating the Walgreens and BCBS partnership. Walgreens is by far the worst in customer service in the pharmacy business. Always understaffed, and a long wait is almost assured every time I go. 2nd BCBS of IL PPO is the worst as well. They tell you, "We cover 100% generic," but I get a cough syrup mix prescribed by the doctor, and I ask for generic, and I get generic, but then I am told by Walgreens that the drug was denied. I ask why, and they say, "I don't know."

    I called BCBS of IL and they say that one of the drugs in the mix is not covered. I ask and press and say that all the drugs in the mix are generic, and they say that even though it is generic there is a list of generic drugs that are not covered. So, I was misled through my employers information that says all generics are covered at 100%. Nevertheless, I was upset, and was hit with a bill of $40 for cough syrup. This is after waiting an hour in line at the Pharmacy line. Thank you for a truly great customer service experience from 2 companies that are very poor at customer service! !

In fact when I got home I transferred all medicine to Walgreens. The Walgreens I go to is open 24 hours. And has a drive up window. I have been referring friends & family to Walgreens.

    I called in 2 refills at the South Tyler location in Tyler, TX. I am on social security and did not have enough to fill a 90-day Rx so asked for one month. They told me $10. ** is listed on YOUR WALGREENS generic cost as $12 for a 90-day supply. I also noticed many other drugs (I am on heart meds as well) were much cheaper than I had been paying. I called the pharmacy and spoke with whom I believe was the pharmacy manager and she told me that she used the price the computer uses at the time of the refill. She said "they probably need to update that." I'm furious.

    How many other customers beside me compare drug pricing before moving their Rx's due to comparison, only to find out you are not getting accurate pricing. In my opinion you are using bait and switch, and I believe that is illegal, am I correct? Now when I refill the remainder of that med, how much you gonna get me for. Your site states $12 for any dosage for 90 pills-- I spent $10 today for a 30-day supply. So will it be $10? $20? I am going to check into this. I barely make it on my SS check and a part-time job and I am not going to let your incompetence or lack of caring to update this information so the public can make an informed decision.

Especially one pharmacy at La Canada and Lambert in Oro Valley. I have been going there for at least two years and spending about 200 dollars a month in prescriptions. They know me and I was treated very respectable by the pharmacist Ron. Can't remember his last name. The pharmacy manager was very rude and did not want to explain to me changes in the new opioids laws. I apparently brought my prescription in three days early and needed her to explain the situation to me, because this had never happened before. In fact this was a phone conversation and she basically hung up on me with the receiver in her hand laughing. She never did explain it so I went to another Walgreens in Marana a little further away.

    The pharmacist said "no problem," then I received a call from him a little while later saying he couldn't fill it for a couple more days but the same as before no explanation, and this man, can't remember his name but it was at Tangerine Rd and Dove Mountain, was very short and he just snapped at me and gave no more information. I think it's very small minded of these pharmacists to treat all pain medicine people as drug seeker.

I TOLD them it HAD to be PAR and they actually made me wait until they checked to see if they could get PAR the first time ordering from them again. They had been doing it when I was ordering from them previously. I came back they said yes they could. So that prescription was Par. I verified when I picked up. NOW THIS MONTH they decided to change it. I didn't realize it until I opened the container a few days later. IT'S MORE THAN DOUBLE THE SIZE IN THICKNESS!!

    I looked up the info online and is a company called AVERIS?? One of the main fillers... cornstarch that I'm allergic to and who knows what else. Par... just has **. God knows how many more fillers for the size the itger is. Now I have to battle for them to take it back. Don't they have a responsibility to get the right one without me having to check every time??? What if it had something that could kill me?? Today I called and they must be closed for the storm, so I don't have blood pressure medicine I can take!!! This pharmacy is in Wethersfield CT on Silas Deane Highway.

    I have been going to this pharmacy for 6 yrs getting the same medicine. Nobody remembers me and they never seem to have my medication and to order it which isn't too bad but it takes 4 or more days for them to get it... You'd think after all these years they would automatically order it when they run out. Their customer service sucks!

    Walgreens refuses my prescription because my doctor is Mexican! I just returned from surgery. I must say it was a real, live adventure. Upon discharge, the doctor ordered me to get a blood pressure monitor, but she forgot to write the script or to reveal her identity or to give me her business card. She must have known that Medicare would pay for the blood pressure monitor if they had a faxed script. So I called Walgreens and they said my primary doctor has to write the script. I responded that my primary doctor is Mexican & I live in Ensenada, Baja California & I love living in ENS. They said they couldnt accept his script. So I called the surgeon in SD, and his office refused to write the script because a blood pressure monitor has nothing to do with urology.

    I called my cardiologist in Oakland and the secretary said Id have to come in for an appointment. That would cost me 6 times the cost of the blood pressure monitor plus dragging this old carcass thru the border, to the airport, to Oakland and all the way back! Some people think Im crazy, but I LOVE my Mexican doctors. Obviously, Walgreens does not approve of Mexican doctors. They just told me to return to SD to some care unit and have them write a script. That would cost me a lot of effort and at least 100 dollars, much more than the blood pressure monitor would cost. Walgreens hates Mexican doctors, but I love them.

When I ask the clerk last time about this she said, "Oh, I'd never use that if I was you"... Huh...

    I go to Walgreens to get my medication. They want to charge me 500 for it. I say no, they recommend a pharmacy that they and the insurance company work with. They want 410.00 for my medication. I go to Costco and they only want 34.00 for my medication 37.00 for non-members. Now how is this possible? Only answer is that this is a clear example of how these companies work with the pharmaceutical industry to gauge customers. Walgreens should be ashamed and people should stop buying from them. I will never walk into another Walgreens even if my life depended on it who know what they would do beside their customer service attitude is bad a piece of furniture has better customer service.

    Always an issue or complication when using the pharmacy. Most recent. I injured my back - 4+ fractures in my lower back and a broken pelvis. I had received a prescription from my GP for ** for 1 pill every 6 hours. Another story - he gave me the RX, did not refer me to any specialist and said that he would NOT REFILL the RX again, PERIOD. I went to the ER again because of the severe pain and after a CT scan, received a new prescription from my doctor changing the dosage from every 6 hours to every 4 hours. He was surprised at the amounts of damage and referred me to an orthopedic "surgeon" Doctor. So I went to fill the prescription the next day and they said it was too early, not taking in the change in the prescription. I called on Monday to explain the situation and the girl said it was no problem, they could have filled it on Saturday when I needed it.

On top of that they asked me at least five times what my name was and they called my name to begin with and let two people confront me and then telling me that I can't get my script filled because it's a day early but my doctor specifically want to me to have it for today.

    Pharmacist would not fill my prescription because she was questioning the number 2 in the date written by the doctor. She claims the two does not look like other 2s in the prescription. My prescription was due, there were no other issues other than the 2. When I asked what number she thought it looked like, she said she did not know. The date written was 2/24/2017. Which was the day I tried to fill the prescription. The 2 representing the month was the concern. Her name was Fazia and did nothing but give me a hard time. What gives her the right to be Judge and Jury? She claimed she would have to call the doctor to verify the date. Since when is a pharmacist a writing analyst?

    Walgreens makes customer pay for cashier incompetence. I made the mistake of purchasing a 3pk of $10 Amazon gift cards from Walgreens (I usually buy them from CVS) for a graduation gift in June. The grad recently told me that when she tried redeeming the cards in Dec., she was told that the cards never got loaded from the cashier. I never thought to think of keeping the receipt after a few months because this has never happened in the approx 200 times I have purchased gift cards in the past.

    Simple mistake, but this mistake now cost me $30 that went right into Walgreens pocket because they refuse to now load the $ on the cards that the grad returned to me. I was told that they toss their records after 90 days and that THERE IS NO RECORD OF THEIR PURCHASES AFTER THAT. I totally call BS on this. I was able to provide them the exact date of the purchase as well as the statement from my bank that showed the charge but this still wasn't enough. So now Walgreens has $30 of my hard-earned money with me having nothing to show for it. Bottom line: I should have went to CVS.

About early 30th or under. She looked at the prescription then told me she will not fill out this prescription, I wondered why and ask her. I know the insurance will pay for it. I am on Medicare, Medicaid and Humana, been with Walgreens for some years and always have the same prescription. For 7 years, and she tells me she will not fill this prescription, again I ask her why not, she mentioned something about the **.

    I told her yes, every little plastic bottle I have has the same name on it. ** a substitute for **. And I have more than 40 bottles saved... She blabbered more about something. I could not understand her. She would not fill that prescription. By now I got mad. And told her what I thought. She is crazy and never never work in any pharmacy again. She can kill a person. While she tells them she will not fill that prescription. I told her she is not a doctor that she has the right to tell the customer that she will not fill that prescription. That woman is nuts, and should be fired at once. And never work at any pharmacy again. I never never heard of anything like this before. At any pharmacy.

    If she does not get fired. She will cause lawsuits against Walgreens, and the customer is right, Walgreens the loser. Having to pay out millions of dollars. While one worker for Walgreens pharmacy decided, she will not fill that prescription.. I left and went to the Walgreens pharmacy 1606 Del Prado and in less than 20 minutes had my prescription filled. That woman is a danger to the customers who need their prescription badly, and she refused to fill a prescription.

    I've always for the most part, have used The closest Walgreens to wherever I live as my pharmacy. I have never had an issue until this past year and I need help! I've been using the Walgreens in Deptford NJ off of Cooper and Delsea Drive for many years. A new Pharmacy Manager was hired and now, she's caused major issues. A few months ago, I call as usual to see if my blood pressure medication was ready for pickup, she answered the phone. I know it was her because she has a very heavy accent. She was very rude and abrasive on the phone, I tried to stop her and get a word in. When I did that she hung up in my ear. Needless to say every single time I've gone into the store, drive through or call she was very nasty and abrasive with me. I spoke to the Store manager & I also called Walgreens Corporate Offices and filed a complaint.

    Now the nightmare begins!! I had foot surgery December of last year. The day before my surgery I was in a minor fender bender with another car. My son who is disable was in the car with me. I go to the emergency room to have myself and my son looked at. They did X-rays on us both. The ER doctor was shocked at my X-ray. He showed them to me & discovers I have 4 discs in be spine that are almost completely deteriorated. I took the paperwork to my primary physician, where they determined I had a bone disease. He referred me to pain management. Long story short, she began to get worse. My pain management dr put me on medication and when I take my script in if she's working she will say they are out of stock or don't have what The Doctors (not me) prescribed!! I reported her once again to her manager.

    Long story short she called my primary Physician who has been my doc for more than 6 years. She told him I would get my medication early at times. If it's too early, why would they refill my medication? She tried to paint me as overly taking my medication (retaliation for me reporting her). I cannot write a prescription nor can I fill or refill it. My urine is checked every single month by pain management. I am not a drinker nor do I or have I ever used street drugs. If it's too soon, why give it to me & if I'm prescribed too much medication (in her opinion) the doctors have me these medications. I do not own a prescription pad. Needless to say, my doctor of 6 years dropped me as a patient as of yesterday.

    I went into Walgreens and obtained a printout of my medications and the times and dates THEY refill them. She is causing a nightmare in my life. Now it's becoming her personal vendetta against me. I need help because now this situation of retaliation is flying out of control because of this Pharmacist!!! Could someone please help me. As I know, everything is documented and there to view in plain sight!! I cannot write a prescription, I can't put myself on medication. Why is she so involved with the medication that my doctors have me on? Someone must contact me. I need help!!

I advanced my car to the window and the pharmacist told me he needed my insurance card. I passed to him and I ask him if I can also get a bottle of children's **. His answer was: "Oh I am not going inside to shop for you, and besides you will have to come inside of the store because this will take time and you are clogging the line." I was shocked! I was there for less than 2 min and he already was telling that I clogged the line. I responded to him that I could not go inside the pharmacy because my daughter who is sick and with fever is with me in the car and that is the reason that I am using the drive-thru. I also said, "It is ok I won't buy the ** just let me pick up her prescriptions, I will go buy ** someplace else". (There is a CVS pharmacy close to my house.)

    So he got so mad at me and he insisted that I need to come inside, I said no and he yelled to me: "Do whatever you want, but you have to move out of the line!" I stayed there and finally another young men came to tell me that I need it to move my car and do the line again. So I did and waited there for another 30 minutes, while the car in front of me took 25-30 minutes and I never see him being asked to move his car to the end of the line. I had a reason to be there, picking up prescriptions for my sick daughter, my daughter was with me. Isn't the most practical thing to use drive- thru? Or why would you have it?

As the medication was vital to my health, I had to go home to get the old container from the medication and bring it to the manager to PROVE it had come from them. I was advised that it was not on my profile because I had 2 profiles and they looked at the wrong one. I was then told I had no refills. I insisted that my physician had written the script with three refills.

The pharmacy tech, Hunter started ringing out the gentleman and it was taking awhile to make the transaction. I was standing there for about five minutes or more and a vehicle pulled up to the pickup window. Hunter gets on the intercom and tell the customer, "someone will be right with you." I had just come out of recovery 1 hour before from a procedure (EGD) and needed the medication for esophagus irritation, and I was still somewhat drowsy. He finishes up with the gentleman and without even acknowledging me after standing there for that long, goes to take care of the young lady at the pickup window.

    Finally another tech comes up to the window to wait on me and of course, there was issues with my prescription as it has been since I transferred my prescriptions over to Walgreens in November 2016. This was due to the fact that CVS, my previous pharmacy lost the contract with TRICARE, Express Scripts, and I never had the issues that I am experiencing with Walgreens. I don't know if its this particular store or the entire chain is this way.

    Getting back to my point on Hunter, I don't normally judge people, but I happened to noticed that the young lady that was at the pickup was **, and after he finished with her, he came back over and quickly waited on the guy who came up behind me after when I was standing there, who happened to be ** and I made a comment to him about the drive thru must have priority because I had been standing here for a while. As Hunter was waiting on this individual, another car pulled up to the drive thru, he looks over and did not acknowledge the lady as he did the first lady, I looked over at her and noted she was mix race.

    I don't know Hunter, but companies do not need people like that dealing with the public on a daily basis, especially when they are representing the company. After having numerous issues with my prescriptions and the TRICARE system with Walgreens, I am moving my prescriptions to another pharmacy and probably never shop at Walgreens again. It's too bad you can't leave zero stars for a rating!!

    The pharmacist is knowledgeable and helpful. They take time to make sure you understand your medicine and will answer any questions you might have or concerns about anything. But sometimes the wait time is a bit long. Otherwise they are very good.

    Great service. The hours have changed for security reasons. Just disappointed that it had to be. Walgreens has been reliable and affordable for my family for years. We have tried others but always come back. The helpful staff make it a pleasant place to visit.

    After getting a vaccine shot for the flu, I asked if the singles shot was covered by my insurance. They checked on the computer and said it was covered. There was no copay and the insurance covered $234.39 for the shot. I got the shot. My wife with the same insurance went through the same process and got the same response. She got the shot. We each left the pharmacy with a Walgreen receipt that showed that there was no copay and the insurance covered $234.39. About one month later, they billed both me and my wife different amounts for the shot. (Remember we both had the same insurance). After talking with the pharmacy we found out that the statement they made was meaningless. They can choose to bill any amount that they wish if the insurance company refuses the claim. (Remember, they checked on their computer and the coverage was complete!).

    When I called the insurance company, they said that Walgreen had done their billing wrong! They billed as a medical procedure instead of as a pharmacy claim. (Did Walgreens change their business model from pharmacy to medical store??). To follow this to a obvious conclusion, Walgreens can tell the customer there is no charge and that their injection is covered by their insurance and then turn around and charge the customer anything they want! Anybody get a bill for $50,000 from them yet?

    The only reason why I gave them one star is because I had to. I would give them no stars. I would never go back there again. I will find another Pharmacy. I want to get my son's prescription filled as I always do except for this time with the pharmacist on Navajo Road in San Diego told me that my son's insurance was not covered. I have been using them since he was born. I've had the same Insurance since he was a baby. Now all of a sudden they do not take my son's insurance and Andrea pharmacist was very rude and told me, "Well you should have said up there and ask your doctor and get upset with your doctor about this." I explained to her that my doctor actually looked it up and make sure that they would still accept my insurance and he told me, "Yes they would." So I told her, "Why would I get upset with him for verifying that you guys accept my son's insurance and now you're telling me you don't."

    Walgreens does not deserve my business or anyone else's I hope all their stores closed down and I hope they go bankrupt for someone not to accept insurance is horrible especially if that's the only pharmacy close to you. What if someone comes to them with the same insurance and it's a life-threatening situation and they need that medicine. That medicine can save their lives and Walgreens only accept insurances that are willing to pay a lot of money and however my insurance company is not want to overpay for medicine that they're getting add a penny on a dollar and they're charging US $500 or more for it. I suggest that people find other pharmacies because they suck.

    I put in a script with military ID for coverage. When it was picked up I was charged full cost. When I went later to talk to pharmacist, he then told me they do not take Tricare insurance. He wouldn't help so I went to store manager, she was going to give me the difference back but pharmacist said no! She said she was sorry, he had the final say! I called corporate headquarters and they said I should have known they did not take Tricare at the time! I will never use Walgreens pharmacy again!

    With the ok'd pharmacist the dept ran smoothly. Now it seems unorganized. I've waited both inside the store and at driver in up to 30 min. All of my drug info is suppose to be in large print and most of the time isn't. Rarely asked if I be taken med before and do I need to talk with the pharmacist.

    Whenever I visit Walgreens I feel a sense of personal belonging. The cashiers welcomes me with a greeting, the pharmacy staff is very open to answering questions regarding prescription medications and over the counter medications. I feel I can trust my health based on their knowledge. In addition, the store is always neat and clean.

    Hello I'm officially done with this chain! They discriminate against you and treat you like trash if you don't have certain insurance or look a certain way! They often refuse service if you disagree with them at all! Asking you to leave without trying to rectify a situation! Incompetent isn't the word to describe the pharmacy staff that didn't go to med school and want to be a doctor so bad! The tech that spent 2 months in school and know nothing about medications at all.

    I'm sick of the pharmacy making decisions to not fill your meds. Who are you trying to play God and tell the patient what is best! I'm 3 seconds from slapping the living hell out of one of them really. People are sick and want good service, not a smart wanna be who thinks they ** don't stink! I'm over them and pray they all crash head on with a 18 wheeler! The disrespect of the staff unprofessional and underdeveloped about the things that matter! Most of them are the same ones smoking drugs and getting high but treat the patients like crap! Karma is no joke. You can believe that!

    I would like to tell my story of what happened to me when I go to Walgreens Pharmacy, when one particular pharmacist is working. First, about three months ago I was in the hospital for kidney failure, and thanks God so far everything looks like it's going to be O.K. I wanted to visit my best friend in Georgia over the holidays, so I asked my insurance company for a vacation override, and they said yes to it. I was able to pick up all my prescriptions I needed, but there was one from Walgreens that I couldn't get because of that pharmacist I was referring to. It's a class three medication and she refused to fill it unless the doctor would call her, but the doctor was out of the country. I asked her why does she always give me problems when I come here. She said it's her discretion to either fill the prescription or call the doctor to get approval.

    Let me add that I did call my insurance company up already and had the O.K. to get the prescription early. I said "That's fine. I will just ask the next pharmacist who comes on duty next to fill the prescription." This pharmacist left a note for all the other pharmacist to not fill my prescription, and I do have that in writing. She had no right to do that, it's against Walgreens' policy. She always causes me so much problems that I usually get this prescription filled from another pharmacy, where I have to pay much more money to get it filled, but it started to get too expensive for me to do that any more.

    Also, when I get my prescription this pharmacist will not take it from me unless it's the 29th or 30th day, again this is against Walgreens' policy for a pharmacist to refuse to take my prescription. I even said to her "Can you please just take it and I will pick it up on a later day?" I am stressed out and I will probably lose the prescription and she refused. Every time I go to Walgreens and I see this pharmacist it puts a knot in my stomach. I've been through a lot over these last few years, and when you're asking your friendly neighborhood pharmacy just to do their job properly to make life a little easier, you can't even get the assistance you need.

    I would like to say that I was able to get my other prescriptions filled earlier from other pharmacies without any problems, and one of them was a class three medication. Also, I called Walgreens the next day and explained what happened yesterday, and they told me to come in and they will take care of it. I had my mom go to pick it up so I could start to pack, and I got a call that my prescription was denied. I asked to speak to the pharmacist and asked what happened, at first they said they never spoke to me, but then I asked "Are you guys crowded right now?" and she said yes, and I also asked "Are you the only Walgreens open today around here?" and she said yes. I told her how do you think I know that because I called and you told me it would take a while to fill the prescription." They finally admitted that I called, but wouldn't fill it due to that note from that pharmacist.

    I really have no clue why this pharmacist hates me so much. I never caused her any problems, but this pharmacist caused me too many problems. Actually now I'm scared to go into the store after this. I called corporate three times and they were very nice to me. They said they would have the manager call me to discuss the situation.

    The manager called me and got my side of the story, but the ironic part was that this pharmacist was on vacation now and she would talk to her when she gets back. Also, the most disturbing part to this situation was the pharmacist who does not like me, said to "bring the prescription with you to Georgia and get it filled there", but the prescription was made out incorrectly. I could of been in another state where I most definitely wouldn't be able to get my prescription filled, and the sad part is that I think she new the prescription was made out incorrectly, and I would of been in a lot of trouble. Would somebody please tell me what they would do to solve this problem. Like I said I'm more than petrified to go into this Walgreens any more. Thanks for anybody's comment to help me solve this problem.

    The sales people are awesome and I love my rewards. I have been with the same Walgreens for over 20 years. Though the pharmacy could use a little more people skills because their staff are rude at times. Also, it doesn't always have certain medicines on hand and it can take more than a day to get it in. Many times I could only get partial refills. It would seem that they could keep a closer eye on their stock.

    With the exception of wait time, I have no issues with Walgreens. I try to call in or will leave the prescription for next day pick-up. Pharmacy techs are always polite, professional, and helpful. They are the ones that deserve a high rating.
