    Today I went to pick up my granddaughter's anti-seizure medication and EVERY SINGLE TIME I ask for extra flavoring, as she is 4 years old and doesn't like the taste. The medication comes flavored but I pay for extra flavoring. EVERY TIME they tell me it is already flavored, EVERY TIME I explain why I need more. Tonight she asks me what flavor 3x but never knows what they have. I tried calling in the extra flavoring so I don't have to wait but CORPORATE POLICY says you MUST ask for extra flavoring at the window when you pick up.

    So after waiting behind 5 cars, it's finally my turn and she asks me to come inside? Seriously? I told her "No, I had done that last time. You are waiting on ME now. I'm your customer." She said people were waiting in line and I said, "Yeah and I am one of those." Instead of hurrying up and squirting the concentrate and ringing me up, they want to waste my time after they already made me explain why I need more flavoring for the hundredth time. I'm switching to the pharmacy at the grocery store. If they are this incompetent with customer service, what else are they messing up? I think if we consumers all stop going there we could put a dent in their stock.

    On 11/16/15, I dropped off rx to be filled at store #3835 and was advised by the pharmacy tech that the meds will be ready at 5:30 pm. I received a voicemail and email advising that the meds were ready. I went to the store on 11/17/15 at 9:30pm and was advised by the tech that she couldn't fill the script because they no longer accept the insurance. I then asked why wasn't I notified and she stated she didn't know. I request the hard copy script and she had me waiting then stated that she can't locate the script. She said, "just have the new pharmacy call me." The tech was unprofessional and service is always poor there. This is unacceptable especially since my brother is mentally ill and no meds will cause him to decompensate. I'm hoping that CVS will be able to help me with no prescription.

    I gave my script to them. She asked for photo ID. I said they always get it when I pick up my drug. She said, "You will NOT have to show it at that time as I will scan it now." Well they did ask and the pharmacist tried to show me the sign on the wall that says they do it twice. There was none to be found. He accused me of fighting with him before and I don't remember his face nor do I fight. Now if I am told something like you won't have to show it when you pick it up I expect that to happen. Why did I have to drag it out again. The girl was right there and said I scanned it already.

    I have been with Walgreens a long time and aside from Jan who is awesome it has gone downhill. Josh was a courteous pharmacist. I never had any problems until he left. This pharmacist and said I was lying and questioned the amount of my pills he gave me at one time and that is not true. I felt that he was going to put his hands on me. He said I constantly got my drugs early. NO NO NO I want to stay at Walgreens but he told my friend out of earshot he would ask me to never come back. He had no right to tell her that. I want my file to prove when I got my drugs.

    Went to this store today and grab 2 Head & Shoulder shampoo that were on sale at $2.99. But when the cashier scan them just 1 of them had that price and the other he told me that was $5.29. So he called this lady and told her to check the prices and when she got back she told me, "Yes one is $2.99 but the other is $3.29." So I answer, "It's ok, can I change it for another of the $2.99?" and she told me so rude, "Well you go get it because this sale is over and if I go get it for you you're going to have to pay it at regular price."

    The thing is that I had my son sleeping on my arms and I don't even told her to go and get the shampoo for me and I don't think that the sale was over also because they start new sales every Sunday so today is Tuesday and she had no reason to be so rude to me. So I told the cashier to cancel the order and I left the store without buying anything. Just to let you know how mean this lady is. When I was putting my son in the car seat a very nice young lady came to me and told me that she wanted to buy the things that I left because she saw how rude this Walgreens employee was. I told her that "thank you," that it was ok.

    Wife and I went to pick up our prescriptions and after my wife was done I said "I'm next." And the technician said "You have medication also?" I said "Yes we're going to make you a lot of money here." She said very loudly so all the people in line could hear "We don't make much money off of Medical customers. Sometimes we take a loss." So I'm feeling pretty embarrassed that she was so condescending to me and I didn't feel well already. I have nine prescriptions that I get regularly from this Walgreen. I don't understand why Walgreen takes medical if they feel they don't make enough money from it and I don't understand why they would hire such an unprofessional person to help sick customers. This happened at Walgreen on Telegraph Road in the city of Santa Fe Springs. That technician initials start with K. She is very rude to people.

    I have United Health Care insurance which is a complete farce. They are nothing short of thieves. However, Walgreens being connected at the hip with them told me when I went to get some test strips for my Breeze 2 that they have to be approved by UHC and then 100 strips would cost over $100.00. I actually paid that once. Now I just got an idea to check Amazon. Go figure, I found the test strips at $44.00 for 200 strips with no hoops to jump over. So Walgreens is using my deadbeat insurance company as they pay for nothing to hoodwink me into thinking I have to pay this outrageous price. What else are they screwing the public? Goodbye to Walgreens for me. I just hope this gives someone else a shot at saving their hard-earned money instead of giving it to these dishonest and greedy thieves.

    On 10/23, I had dropped off my daughter's prescription to our local Walgreens in Manassas, VA. I picked up the medicine and took it home and put the medicine (still in the prescription bag) into our home's medicine cabinet. On that following Monday morning, my daughter's other pill bottle had run out and it was time to start on the 30 day supply of her **. When I went to open the bottle, I noticed that the pills looked different, and also... MY name was on the bottle!

    I called the doctor and the Walgreens, both seemed to point the finger at the other in blame. Ultimately, it was determined that while the doctor wrote the Rx incorrectly (supposed to be 15 mg TR and it was written as regular release), Walgreens could have caught the error had they put the correct name on the prescription. I have been in touch with Walgreens' corporate line and had one follow up call from the pharmacy manager... That was almost TWO weeks ago and no follow up. I mean, I don't know about others, but my kid's life being jeopardized, kind of a big deal. Happy to know Walgreens cares so much.

    Walgreens on Perris & Alessandro has the poorest customer service ever. Everything I go, the wait time is ridiculous and if I go through the drive thru, it's never a drive thru. Once you get to the window no one ever comes or acknowledge you are there until you push the button, then they say be with you in a moment. This is everyone I go.

    On 11/2, I dropped off a prescription. I was told it would be ready at 8, send my 24 yr old daughter to pick up prescription. She was then told to show her ID. She did, then the rep told her now she needs my ID. Unacceptable. There is nothing stating this new change and she has and always picked my meds up. After having to wait all that time, to leave and come back home to get my ID is not acceptable in my book. I was not told this when I dropped it off. There is no signs that state this. Once my daughter goes back, the rep comes back over where the other rep was helping her and tell her to make sure she scans both IDs. Never heard of this before. I really am not satisfied with this type of service. I dislike coming to this location. I certain I am not the only person that feels this way. Management needs to step in and improve the performance of this location.

    After 18+ years of filing my entire family's prescriptions in my hometown Walgreens, I will no longer step foot into any Walgreens anywhere ever again, regardless of the item. The pharmacist, who I have never seen before, was the most unprofessional person I have ever encountered in my entire experience with Walgreens. She proceeded to humiliate me by questioning my physician's script, and this is after I informed her that I had just spent all day moving my sister 300 miles one way. Inexcusable and one of the worst experiences ever.

    A discrepancy occurred between my doctor's (Aurora) office and Walgreens regarding paper work for a prescription which started on 10/23 thru 10/31/2015 and was not resolved. According to my doctor's office they sent the correct forms which Walgreens stated were incorrect. By the 10/31 Walgreens said they had the right form but it could not be submitted to Medicare because it was closed. During this 9 day period you would think someone would have followed through and made sure this was the correct form and sent to Medicare before this office closed.

    There is a particular pharmacist at my local Walgreens in Hendersonville that always gives me a hard time with my prescriptions. Other friends of mine have complained about the same pharmacist on multiple occasions. He refused to refill my prescription so I complained about him to the store. I have never had a problem with any other pharmacist in the decades I've been going to Walgreens.

    When I complained to the store about this pharmacist, I told the store manager that I had other people that wanted to speak about this pharmacist as well. I just received a letter in the mail stating the "Walgreens will no longer serve you as a customer." I was not interviewed by any supervisors. No one contacted me about my complaint. No one followed up to find out about others I know who wanted to complain. Nothing. They just dismissed me completely. The District Manager of Hendersonville has her name on the letter. I'm going to go above her and tell my story.

    Some months back I took a new 6 month script that the Dr. wanted me to take. This was in Walgreens in Cushing Okla. First fill was shorted 50 pills, when I took it back OF course they said the counted twice... But finally after having to stand there and argue with their help the pharmacist double checked and found they had errored. OK for 2 months, the 4th monthly refill of a 6 month refill, eras time. But Walgreen said I didn't have any refills left, I had filled 3 times, from a 6 time prescription, then it was I couldn't refill because I hadn't filled all the 6 quick enough. Crazy. OK so I went and got a new script, which of course my Dr. wanted to know why back before the 6. Walgreen rule??

    Today after going through all this and feeling like they messed up the count again. I just waited till the refill date on bottle. Which I tried to refill. BUT... Now they refused to fill because they say I have to wait another week. I pointed out that their bottle said today. They said that means nothing and they will determine when I will be allowed to refill. Talked to me like I'm a 65 year old idiot, rude, to whole vocabulary I'd like to describe these people. DO NOT USE WALGREENS.

    The Corner of Unhealthy has become the likely slogan for Walgreens. I have been a client of the Walgreens/Pharmacy located at 101 E. Lakemead Parkway in Henderson Nevada, for many years. I feel like I have suffered every year that I have been with them. Like many, I too am a creature of habit. I like consistency, knowing the employees, and knowing what I can expect. This pharmacy has placed me in unhealthy precarious positions many times. Please do not get me wrong. The manager of the pharmacy is named Jamie, and she is a lovely soul. Mike is another pharmacist that has been great. Anyhow, Jamie has been very helpful. However, when she is out, things GO WRONG AND QUICK. I have lost count of the times that I have had to go without my medication because of another pharmacists misinformation, or incompetence, and egotistical, bad arbitrary decision making.

    I am disabled and must utilize medical transportation at times. I cannot count on two hands how many times that this pharmacy has told me to come in to pick up my scripts and I have gotten there to find out that they were not filled because of some STUPID and arbitrary decision or incorrect information. Or that they were not filled because they were out of stock AND though another Walgreens HAS the medication, that they cannot FedEx it to their Walgreens. Or that they were not filled because someone forgot to order them. Or I have been told that the scripts WERE NOT ready for pickup only to check again and find out that they WERE READY for pickup. Or that they will call me when the scripts are ready but then that do not call me.

    I am talking about the same medication that I have been taking for YEARS from Walgreens. I call Walgreens on Tuesday's during the month to make sure that the mgr Jamie places the medication on the order form. In addition, I am so disgusted with constantly being told that Walgreens has 3 days to fill pain medications. I think that they should advertise this fact on television. I wonder how many customers that they would get with this info. lol I have repeatedly reportedly this issue to Corporate. YET, there has been NO RESOLVE. The district manager, and executive team needs to get into this store and help Jamie out. It is just not reasonable that things only go right if she's at work. This is a 24 hour store. Surely she cannot be there 24 hrs a day.

    I have had more issues than the ones that I've listed.. This store has harmed me financially, physically, and mentally. I am still trying to get resolve. If this is happening to me then it is happening to others. WALGREENS NEEDS to stop allowing the BAD Egotistical Pharmacist to make arbitrary medical decisions because they will only make a corrupted one. I can never refer anyone to this pharmacy unless it improves. For my sake, I hope that it does.

    So I went in to fill my prescription at Rice Lake, WI Walgreens. Number 1 not enough employees working back that to keep up with the line of people. Dropped off my prescription and they asked when will I be back. Told them 30 min. Went back 35 min later - got told they didn't even start on my prescription because they ran it thru insurance which I told them before I was self pay. Said to come back in 15 min later. So I did.

    I had massive amount of pain going so I was relying on this med to get the pain under control. Then the lady said to me, "It's going to be longer. We just had more people come in with prescription," so mine was put aside. I told the lady, "I've been here 3 times and now I have to come back a 4th time." Seriously.

    I have been filing my local RX's via Walgreens when I do not have to use the other terrible company. I use them mainly because they are 24 hrs and I can go before and after work. When you drop off an RX they take at least an hr to fill it, and they are rude. Why does it take over an hr to fill an RX. When I go during somewhat busy hours, the line circles the store, and I think they move slower. I have called the manager, and filed out each survey and it gets worse. I don't understand. The cashiers are unfriendly, the store is not that clean, and the people handling the drugs have no clue.

For the same prescription each month (that should only cost $20.00) they've tried to charge me $100, $82, $70, and $32. They are NEVER consistent and it takes me 4-5 trips to the pharmacy EVERY single month just to get them to sell it at the correct price. Today, on my fourth trip this week attempting to get my prescription, they suggested that I just buy it at the cash price and apply for reimbursement later.

    First and foremost I would like to say "Thank you" to those who have had stressful and demeaning experiences at Walgreens and have written about their encounters! I thought I was the only person dealing with this company's incompetence. They treat you like a criminal when you have legitimate scripts for medicines such as anti-anxiety and pain medication. Whom do these pharmacists think they are? They have God complexes and purposely delay giving people their medications.

    My doctor gave me a script for pain medication for my back and the pharmacist in Temple Terrace, Florida was so rude, invasive, and absolutely apathetic to my situation. She tried to in a subtle manner imply that the script was not from my doctor! My doctor works with five other doctors in a primary care medical office. The idiot pharmacist saw another doctor's name on the script and tried to say that I had taken a script from another doctor! This was a triplicate electronic script with my name and address on it and signed by my doctor. I was infuriated and immediately contacted my doctor to rectify the situation. Meanwhile they finally gave me my meds 2 days later without an apology.

    I feel that if I were an elderly Caucasian woman they would not have questioned the authenticity of the script. It is revolting to have to deal with the idiocy of this company, but what is even more surreal is that these pharmacists have the power to delay our medications without any justification. Please spread the word regarding this company, a group effort to inform others and take a stand is the only way changes can occur.

    Before I left the Main Street location, Mitch, the pharmacist, checked on a prior insurance problem for me and gave me specific information as to how the billing error could be resolved. He was very busy, yet took the time with the Walgreen's filing problem. Several days later the error in processing was resolved over the phone via Walgreen's internet service by a very professional representative (hold time was 8 minutes!).

    After leaving the Main Street location and going to the Long Hollow Pike location in Goodlettsville, Alex and Jennifer were very professional and polite in handling my needs, including helping me resolve an issue with a prescription for my (unknown to me) now "rare" antibiotic - tetracycline. The end result was, with pharmacist Jennifer's knowledgeable advice, an approximately $900 prescription was changed - after I made a call to my doctor and suggested a less "rare" alternative. The final cost for the alternative was $28.00. Thanks Jen for helping a 72-year-old senior citizen on "fixed income" keep the budget balanced for an entire month! You did not have to help, BUT YOU DID! Retired AT&T Manager.

    I have an anxiety disorder and I haven't been able to sleep the last month due to an event taking place. I saw my primary caregiver, whom I've been seeing for over 10 years. She prescribes Ativan(?), sends it via fax. After the appointment I run some other errands and I make it back by 8pm - 3 hours after my doctor called it in. First of all, neither prescriptions called in were filled yet and 2, they had to 'contact my doctor because there was a problem with my prescription'. Then, they tell me they attempted to call my doctor but because it was after 5, nobody answered the phone. Duh. So at 8pm, I end up calling another pharmacy nearby asking them to please transfer my script because I needed it to sleep! The other store who's always filled any prescription fax order was unable to fill this particular one because Walgreens had a problem with it.

    I call Walgreens Saturday morning and was asking why I couldn't get my meds and the pharmacist stated it was the law to contact the doctor for ANY scheduled meds. I did some research of my own and prescribing laws state that schedule IV or V drugs can be called in via electronic script or fax, but it had to have the prescriber's signature. Some schedule III and all of schedule II drugs need a paper written prescription directly from the doctor in ink. Besides the actual law, I know my doctor wouldn't submit an invalid prescription as it's never happened before. I was unable to have any anxiety meds ALL WEEKEND.

    Monday rolls around so I call my doctor to have them take Walgreens out of my profile and to ask them to send the new script over to the other store, so they do. I told my doctor Walgreens tried calling the office; but my doctor has no record of receiving any calls from Walgreens! I feel like they intentionally wouldn't fill my prescription because it was a weekend! I've also had problems with them filling my vyvanse - a stimulant. I had to literally run out of meds before they would be able to fill that one.

    I feel like Walgreens pharmacy marks me as some kind of drug abuser and purposefully makes it difficult to get ANY scheduled drugs filled. So to sum up, they refused to fill my anxiety meds, wouldn't transfer my prescription to a store who WOULD fill it, and in other instances make me run out of meds before I can fill a new one! What the heck is their problem?! I'm still very upset.

    Let me start off by stating that this is not a review of Walgreens' "neighborhood" pharmacies. It is directed towards their "Online Pharmacy" which has to be and is the most colossally incompetent organization on the planet. How in the world did Walgreens get the authorization to offer online services when they can't find anyone with an IQ over 30 to work for them? They are by far the most inflexible, pre-programmed, unmotivated individuals I've ever dealt with. They make K-Mart look like NASA. Imagine an organization that supplies medications of all types and has absolutely NO clue how to work with their customers, insurance companies, doctors, etc etc. They set their own rules and expect everyone to follow them.

    Four months ago I changed insurance plans. For some absolutely bizarre reason, Walgreens "online" randomly decided which medications they would and would not ship me given this change. During this four month battle the replies I received from them had nothing to do with any laws, my coverage, my age, the state I lived in or about half a dozen other fabricated and falsified excuses they came up with. What it all came down to is that Walgreens no longer wanted to pay the shipping charges. Think twice before ever signing up for this "Online" service. However, if your view of convenience is physical and mental torture with visions of people in black leather outfits, then it's a great place to go.

    I use contacts that have a special prescription and cost $130 a box. I received a coupon for 25% off from Walgreens online contacts ordering service and was able to get them for around $90 a box. I ordered 4 boxes total before I used up the contacts from my vision center. The first time I opened and put the contacts from Walgreens in, I could not see anything with them on, I could see better without them. I opened all the boxes and tried a pair from each box hoping it was a bad one in the box and the rest would be good. They were not, they were all bad. I wrote a note to Walgreens explaining what happened and put the contacts I didn't open in the return envelope with the note. I did not hear anything from them for several months.

    I wrote an email to them and got this response: "I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. I have located your order and the status of the refund. Per the notes from our warehouse, your order could not be refunded because all the boxes you returned were opened. Our Contact Lens policy states that only unopened boxes of contact lenses can be refunded for the full purchase price of the items. I apologize for the inconvenience again. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!"

    I wrote back saying how could I know they were the wrong contacts without opening them and why even send a return envelope. And asked for a partial refund. Never got another response. Felt like I was scammed. Ended up giving Walgreens $350 for nothing. If anybody thinks of using this service please use great caution. I reordered from my vision center and the contacts were perfect, could see normally again. Not sure what Walgreens did, the numbers on the boxes were right but the contacts were not even close to being the correct ones.

    Went in to buy a wart removal kit and noticed it was on sale (didn't have my glasses to read the small print). When I go to check out the cashier asks "do you have a rewards card?" I ask "why do I need it?" He replies "to get the sale price" so we look it up and sure enough I already have a card. He rings it up and I leave but the total sounds high so I pull over and look at my receipt and sure enough I didn't get the sale price. I turn around and go back in to complain and get informed I need a coupon to get the sale price. I don't have time to fool with this stupid stuff so I returned it all and went to Walmart and bought it cheaper without any coupons. I know Walgreens prices are high but to print a sale price and put "need coupon" in small print is just wrong!! Mark it down.. I will never return to Walgreens!!

    8-17-15, I went to Walgreens in Bellingham WA at Guide Meridian and Bakerview Rd. I was getting a prescription for my 90 year old mother of liquid ** . The pharmacist gave me 2 bottles of mixed medication and one bottle of powder and a small bottle of water to mix with the powder, because he said the medication would expire before I needed the third one. Six days later (Saturday) we realized we were going through the medication too fast to last the prescribed 15 days. We were 1/2 way through the 2nd bottle on day 6. When I started checking the bottles, I noticed that the doctor had instructed that 67 ml of water should be mixed with each bottle. The bottle of water they had given me had only 33 ml of water in it. Doing some rough math, I determined that each of the bottles had only had 33 ml of water put in them.

    8-23-15, I went back to the pharmacy Sunday morning to ask them about it. The pharmacist (Paul) insisted that he had done nothing wrong. (That was actually true, as it was a tech that mixed the medication). Receiving no instructions from them about how to treat my mother's medication, I returned to the pharmacy on Monday to talk to the manager Sheila. No instructions, or apologies from her either. 8-24-15, I then tried to go above Sheila by calling Walgreens customer complaint. They refused to put me through to anyone higher. I continued to call various Walgreen numbers until Jessica said she would put it through.

    8-29-15, I received a phone call from someone who said he was at the corporate office. I explained what had happened. He said he would take care of it. I have never received a phone call back since that time. No one has called to see if my mother is alright. This whole situation was sloppy work on their part, with no remorse for the damage they caused.

    This is the Lake Oswego Oregon location. Had the doctor order a prescription refill in the morning. At 5:30 after work I go to pick up the prescription and they tell me they don't have anything for me. The guy tells me they haven't checked their voicemail all day so it might be there and I should in another hour. After making multiple calls I find out their electronic system has been down for 5 days, so they don't get anything. How a business let that happen for that long is beyond me. I had to get the after hour doctor (wasn't easy) to call and actually talk to the pharmacist and finally got my prescription by 9 PM. Will definitely be looking for another pharmacy!

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WALGREENS COMPANY???

So when they sent me a statement I set up monthly payments of $30 that were paid through our online banking account. After two statements the statements stopped coming. I've been in the hospital, so my wife didn't know to stop the automatic payments. When I got home I realized we had not had a statement in a year. The payments went to: Walgreens Infusion Service, 2765 Paysphere Circle, Chicago, IL 60674… Account # **.

    When I got home and my wife told me about there being no statements, I tried to contact someone, anyone, at Walgreens. When I called the two 800 lines for four times, I was told to leave my name & phone number and a rep would call me back shortly, NO RESPONSE. I was told to call 7 different lines at my expense, and was directed to numerous departments, each of which could not find my account or didn't know anything about my problem. Where have my payments been going the past 14 months??? So I will resolve the problem and not make anymore payments. I also want a refund of all payments paid the last 14 months. A total of $420.00.

    WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Location: 1910 W Braker Ln Austin, TX 78758. So I seriously just had the worst embarrassing experience at Walgreens. As you guys know I love makeup and I'm starting to do tutorials so I try out new things. Sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't which is why I love to shop at Walgreens. So I went in to return some items that didn't work and for us oily dark skin girls you get more bad than good. So I start pulling out the products. The cashier tells me “Umm hold on let me go speak to my manager cause our policies change all the time.” I didn't think anything of it. Sometimes if it’s over a certain amount they want to put it as a store credit. I thought maybe that's what she was talking about. Well the manager ** says that "We have some concerned about frequency of your returns" and advised that that don't get credit for the products which I have no idea what that means.

    An employee was helping find a concealer and I was talking about how much money I've wasted on the bad product and she informed me I was able to make returns as needed. Keep in mind I live right next door. I'm in this store almost every day for the last two years so I asked her “What do you mean by we? Who is we and are you all actually reviewing my receipts? If so you would know I keep way more products than I return and I usually exchange products and I'm in here every day.” Keep in mind I've made 6 returns in the last 5 months but I've made more than 20+ purchases within that timeframe. She said she knows that but they will no longer accept my returns. At first she said her and the district manager reviewed my receipts. I told her I want to speak with her manager since they are discussing my returns. She changed her story and says she and the shift managers reviewed receipts. So then I ask her “May I see the receipts?”

    This lady then back tracks and say they watched me on the video surveillance cameras from the times I'm come in the store which shocked me speechless. So now I'm being treated like a freaking criminal. Now at this point I'm pissed. Its people standing behind me as she telling me this, so now I'm being talked to and treated like I'm stealing from the store and not like I've spent hundreds of my hard earned dollars at this store. I explained to her I do make up and I buy a lot at once and it’s usually new products. I'm not going to keep a product I can't use and I have always followed the guidelines of the returns policy. Now after this lady has embarrassed the hell out of me she now wants to apologize and they were just really concerned she would not provide the names of the "we" people due to their privacy but yet they were able to invade mine.

    Then she goes on to say “I didn't know you did makeup.” How would you? No one asked me anything but the cashier knew and why apologize now when you could have asked me these questions before you prejudged me? You just told me 5 minutes ago you won't be accepting my returns from now on. You’re discussing my purchases with the staff. You apparently have a look out poster for my face because the cashier went to go talk to you about my return and the return policy hasn't change and now you wanna say sorry after you find out. I do makeup tutorials so I asked for the number to make a complaint. This lady gives me the wrong number 1800 wagyess. I go back to the store told her the number is wrong. She doesn't apologize for providing the wrong number. She goes to the office to get another number and she knew it was wrong because she hands it to me and says it may or may not work.

    This is the only number I have. I call that number and it’s disconnected. Keep in mind I waited 6 minutes for her to give me a wrong number. I hate to blame my experience on race but I can hardly believe a white woman would have had the same experience especially pulling video surveillance. Really? I have never been so disrespected or treated like a criminal in my life. I'm spending money at Walgreens almost on a daily basis. I was told by a cashier I was able to make returns as needed so this was really unexpected. I will never shop at Walgreens again which is a huge inconvenience for me. I buy everything from Walgreens - garbage bags to milk.

    I get my meds filled there but on pride alone I will not step foot back another Walgreens. I did nothing wrong but now I don't want to even show my face in this store because how I was treated and knowing the employees have been brief on my purchases and have been told to contact management for my returns. I feel violated and I will be seeking legal advice on my rights as a consumer. I didn't break any laws. I followed the returns policy but I was treated as a criminal.

    I am a doctor. I am a MD. 30 years MD, University of ILLINOIS grad. I got home from my clinic at 5:00 pm and had message from a patient on my service that she had a UTI that had started up. She gets about 3 or 4 of these a year so I know she knows when they are coming. I phoned in a prescription to the Walgreens store #6762 on 11833 S. Western Ave, Chicago. I left the prescription for an antibiotic on their prescriber voicemail and my number. 3 hours later the patient called me and said Walgreens pharmacy had told her they didn't have the prescription. I called the Walgreens and asked to speak to the pharmacist (it’s now 8 pm and they close at 10 pm). A young woman answered and I told her what had happened and said please hold. I held for 20 minutes with intermittent ringing that was picked up and then put back on hold.

    Finally I called the store itself and asked to speak to the manager. I told her they would not answer back in pharmacy and she said she would go back and make them answer. I was transferred back and the same young woman that answered originally came on asked me to hold again. About 5 min later a man came on and I asked him to whom was I speaking and he said **. He said yes he was the pharmacist. I told him about earlier and he said their system had been down about the time I called and they had not gotten any message from me. I gave him the prescription and he asked for my office number. I gave him my actual office number, but told him I had given my cell number when I called. That was how I could be reached after hours. He said the number I left before was 773 -- thereby revealing that they had intact received my previous call and message.

    We completed my business after asking me for my NPI number and my DEA for an antibiotic. They went on to tell my patient when she called to ask about the script that they will have to get in touch with her insurance and that she might have to get something over the counter for tonight (with 1.5 hours left before they closed. This is the worst I have ever seen Walgreens operate. Either that store is new management or Walgreens is on the way down. This was a well-insured patient and I am a well-respected doctor. This is a recipe for failure for Walgreens. That's all.

    I went to Duane Reade for the first time ever in nyc. First was at 1150 avenue of the Americas and the second was at the 4 E 42st. The first one was so rude. He was young but very slow to begin with. He talked and took his times "serving" the customers as he enjoyed biting his lips and peeling of its skin with his fingers despite the long queue. I simply asked the cashier if he was gonna put my things to the plastic bags and he answered me rudely, "are YOU gonna put those in the bags?" and said that 3x with a rude expression and tone. That was nothing though compared to my second visit.

    I was just looking around the snacks area when I encountered a tall man standing in front of me holding a huge plastic shopping bag. He looked at me for a while as I walked by and continued what he was doing. He took a box of hair dryer from the shelf and put it into his plastic bag... and I thought he was one of the sales. He wasn't. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and followed him as he walked casually out of the store with that unpaid product in his bag. The store's alarm rang as he walked out casually, and the customers who were queuing saw and was staring at him while the cashiers pretended as if nothing happened and just didn't even look to see what happened. The alarm went off and everything was back as if nothing happened.

    Then, I went to my mom who was looking for medicines. Unfortunately we encountered this rude couple who kept on talking about doing "IT" and ** with his girlfriend and they just kept on being loud, disturbing all other visitors there. What was unbelievable trashy was how he couldn't control his loud mouth that he had to talked and spit while talking, but not on the direction of his girlfriend, but to my MOM who was beside him. Man turning 45 degree to just SPIT on someone must have been tiring. I was SHOCKED. We did nothing but felt pity and sad for him, maybe they just lack affection and love. Then I met him at the cashier again. I was feeling unwell and having sore throat. I coughed badly near him and he got all annoyed, "Get away from me if you're gonna cough like that! Eww!" whining like a child indeed. I just walked away happily, clearly he doesn't have manner. Simply coughing is nothing compared to what he did to my mom.

    As I was paying, I talked about this to the cashier but all she did was ignore me and did not help me with anything. Maybe because they were all the same that they defend each other. I even talked about the stealing incident and she pretended as if she didn't hear a thing. Everyone was very rude. I asked for help but got ignored. I said "thank you" to a sales but she just ignored me and got busy with her phone. I will NEVER visit this store again. It is just a collection of people of the same kind - rude and ignorant. Even I, a young child, know manners. Yet those adults sadly have no clue of the word MANNER at all.

    I hope this experience of mine will be read and considered by the Duane Reade higher ups and consider what to do with this. Additionally, PLEASE hire people who TRULY wanna work instead of slack offs who spent their time listening to music with earphones or playing with their gadgets during work hours. Much displeased.

    There is a 24 hour pharmacy about a minute's drive from my home, which I have been using for about a year. I switched to them from Costco, only for the fact that they are 24hr, and works with my work schedule. I love the Costco in Lakewood, CA. The staff there is amazing and has been for the last 5 years of my life but their hours did not work with my work schedule.

    This part is not the pharmacist's fault. They have been out of my Anti-Anxiety Medication the last two months in a row. This month will be three. I was told that all Walgreen's were having an issue and that there was no stock of it. They were not sure when it would be in stock again. The first time they checked at a nearby sister store, and they had it in stock, so I went there.

    The second time, neither store had it in stock, and I needed to leave out of state so it was important that I had it as I did not want to be stuck away from home and have a panic attack. I had a still valid refill for an weaker prescription that I had been switched off of but it would have to do since all the pharmacies I contacted (even those not being Walgreen's) were not stocked. All of them stated it was on backorder.

    Due to it being a different prescription and a weaker dosage, I didn't think to ask if there would be a problem when/if my regular prescription came back in stock. They didn't offer any words stating that there would be an issue either. About 25 days go by, and I'm out of the weaker prescription because, well, it was weaker and one pill would not do the job sometimes. So I call to see if they have it in stock at my regular Walgreens and they say, "No, still on backorder." So I call the alternate store, and same thing. I contact other pharmacies that are not Walgreens and the same issue. Finally, I decide to contact a Walgreen's in a neighboring city. I figure it should be no issue since they are in the same family.

    I call and talk to the Pharmacist at the Lakewood Walgreens, near my old Costco, as they are 24hr as well. Perfect. The Pharmacist then states, "Oh, you are taking this anti-anxiety medication, so I can't fill the other since they are basically the same thing." I state the issue, and what happened with it being out of stock. He then proceeds to tell me that the Walgreens near me is not out of stock, and he isn't either but that he is putting a hold on the medication since it is "the same thing." I told him that I got where he was coming from, but that it wasn't the same thing. This is why my doctor switched me, because the old one was instant, while the new one was time released, and the dosage was .5 mg higher per day.

    Andrew (Pharmacist) then decides to make it a pixxing contest and tells me "Don't tell me how to do my job!" which shocked me, as I wasn't being rude and explaining the situation to him. So I cut it there and said, "Fine - what do I need? Do I have my doctor call you?" To which he responded that even if the doctor called, he would not fill the prescription. He would only fill a prescription of a higher dosage of the old prescription. This confused me. I said, "You said they are the same thing, and that you can't fill them because of that, but now you are saying you will only fill it if the doctor gives me a prescription for a higher dosage. So if they are the same thing, and the prescription on file is for a higher dosage, don't you have what you need right there?" His own logic seemed to irritate him. I was just trying to make sense of the situation.

    I asked if I could get a corporate number from him, which he mumbled off to me and hung up. I called back and a different counter person picked up, so I asked to speak with Andrew. I wanted to make sure I had all my information correct for when I called with my complaint. He then stated "If you have your doctor call me and state that you are no longer taking "X" medication, I will fill "Y" medication," which was a different story from what he'd told me just seconds earlier.

    So now we have two issues: Either my regular Walgreens is lying about their stock, or Andrew was lying about my Walgreen's stock. I'm going to go with Andrew lying, since he stated that he couldn't, or rather wouldn't, fill my prescription even if the doctor called - but when I asked for a corporate number, the next time I called back, he stated that he could fill it if my doctor called. Which brings us to the major issue here - You have a pharmacist with absolutely no customer service skills, that is working customer service.

    He lied to me about stock and about not being able to help even if my doctor called, tried to get under my skin so that I blow my top and he could play victim (?) if it was brought up (I'm guessing here) but my top didn't blow - his did. This is a bad reflection on Walgreen's. I can understand being out of stock, as many other pharmacies were as well and after searching online. It looks like this prescription has had these issues previously where there was a manufacturing issue and many pharmacies across the US have run out, but what I can't understand is the pharmacist being rude, and then throwing a fit when his logic is repeated to him to show why the prescription can be refilled, and then refusing to help even if my doctor calls - then the tune changing when I ask for a corporate number.

    It should not come to this. While Costco is going to be harder to work with because of my schedule, they had the medication, and the prescription was transferred. I explained the issue to them, and their pharmacist was quick to grasp what I was saying and filled the prescription with no issue. Someone else will have to pick it up for me, since I'll be at work during their open hours and won't make it in time to Costco to pick up my medication due to this wonderful L.A. traffic, but this one incident with "Andrew" was more than enough to get me to leave Walgreen's for good.

    If Walgreens just fills spots with anyone who has a pharmacology degree, but no CS skills, I can see them losing more and more customers. Also, they are way overpriced. The one off the shelf medication I do get from them is $30, while the same off the shelf med is $5 at Costco, and $8 at Walmart. I have insurance and can go to any pharmacy. I just used them for the 24 hour convenience but convenience is not worth the rudeness.

Walgreens was 60.00 and Costco's price for the same thing, same amount, was 26.14, and that was cash price. To me that is stealing. Shame on you Walgreens - taking advantage of people on Medicare.

    I bought a printer using a gift card that I had when I returned something without a receipt. The printer was missing an ink cartridge. During the time which was only 3 days from the time I had bought it the printer had gone on sale for half the price I had paid for it. I feel I should have been reimbursed for the printer and given the new one at the sale price.

    Discrimination and belittled by management for using coupons. I literally had to call customer service to have them tell the manager I'm allowed to use the coupons on the app they are manufactured through Walgreens. Cashier and manager verbally belittled me and my daughter in store. Manager Tamika in Collierville Tn then told cashier to void my whole transaction and help the customer behind me bc she did not know how to do transaction with clip coupon on the phone. Cashier was rude, became combative and starts talking loud shouting "look, you mad at wrong person. I ain't did nothing to you". Manager Tamika proceeds afterwards looking at another Tamekah in the store saying "so it's all for this lil 25 cent coupon you want", then she laughs.

    Now I'm working on a Doctorate graduating in Dec 2015, currently a nurse working in a prominent hospital in Tennessee. The morale of all this is I'm a customer who chose that day to use coupons I had just found on my Walgreens app. I can use and spend my coins how I want not to be discriminated against or belittled! I'm done with Walgreens. It's focus and the people they have representing them are clearly not hospitality or customer service. It's more like bullying and economic discrimination. What if I were a family that was underprivileged?? How in the heck should they have to encounter this rude ridiculous ghetto behavior?!

    I recently visited Walgreens for a physical and came in with the Missouri state form and the nurse practitioner decided to fill out the Walgreens form which was not accepted for high school cheerleading. After taking it to the Walgreens to see if they can correct the form and fill out the form that originally was brought with me, the nurse practitioner said rudely that there's going to be a $15.00 charge. I responded with the fact that I had previously paid $60.00 and it was the nurse practitioner who made the mistake. I asked to speak to the supervisor.

    After the nurse and the supervisor went back and forth texting and we began getting frustrated she decided to call the supervisor. Once she reached supervisor, Ruth ** she told the nurse practitioner that we would be charged $15.00 to re-fill out the form after previously paying $60.00 with no apologies and no sympathy. Just with a "this is how it is" attitude we quickly left and will not be returning in the future. I also will be advising my friends and family of my terrible experience.

    Why did the Asian girl not fill my meds and told me it was too much trouble. She lied to me and gave me and my doctor's office the runaround. My doctor's office was told stories like I was going all over getting pills when I do not even have a car. She or someone told them I could not get my meds filled at any Walgreens when I had been getting them filled at another one. Wal-mart screwed up my prescription and did not have the meds for I don't know how long and they sent me to La Marque and they would not fill them. My doctor's office called into the other pharmacy finding out they lied to me and did not know when my meds would be filled, I have had trouble with pharmacies being out of the two meds I have been taking regular for a long time, so I have had to go to someone that had my meds. I even called my insurance company and told them all the problems I was having.

    I went in Walgreens and the nice man at the pharmacy in Kemah filled my meds within 10 minutes. I rode around in a hot truck with my son all day because of people treating my like. I was a drug addict for a medication I had been taking for 32 yrs. I am disabled and could have died if I did not take this medication. The heat caused me heart pains and I was dizzy from running around all day, I have back and neck and more injuries.

    The Asian girl at La Marque pharmacy told Walmart on my phone it was too much trouble to get my meds filled and hung up after she lied to me and thank God for Kemah Walgreens pharmacy. I was treated with respect and had no problems, the medicine was filled in 10 minutes and no problems. I was treated with respect even though I was so upset from the whole day. I will be 64 yrs old and could not sleep all night because I was so upset by what happened at the Wal-marts and Walgreens on hwy 3. I am a disabled homeowner. I have had some College education. I am trying to keep Walgreens in Kemah as my regular pharmacy. I could not believe how fast the pharmacist was and he treated me with respect after a day of hell with the other pharmacies.

Seeing this really made me confident in my order. The only complaints I have is that I had to pay $5.99 for shipping but it was worth it because it came so fast. I paid for standard shipping and it still came in 2 days. Also I was wondering why they charged me sales tax since they don't have any locations in California.

After we made calls to Walgreens and gave them insurance/medicare numbers again, we keep getting bills in May and June (they also stated that my insurance wasn't billed either but I never received a bill; however I gave them my insurance information also). I called Walgreens on 4/11/15, 6/2/15, and 7/7/15; and, each time gave them insurance information.

    Finally, we received a note on 7/28/15 saying that the insurance (Pacific Source) denied payment. When we checked with the insurance company, the insurance stated they never received request for pmt from Walgreens! Pacific Source told us to pay Walgreens and request a receipt. We will mail the check and request for receipt on 7/29/15 (hopefully they will give us a receipt so we can get reimbursed). Don't go to Walgreens for flu shots,or another Rx.

    I've been with Walgreens for nine years now. And yes I'm looking for another job but getting one here is not easy. Moving here from Texas to Washington I thought was a good move but it's not. My hours were cut from forty to 32-34 a week. I make barely over $1000.00 a month. A $7000.00 cut on my tax return. That I can prove. How can a person live on that? They can't. If it wasn't for my son I'd be out on the street. One thing about managers at Walgreens they have their pets. They get away with not doing their work and if you say anything they always have an excuse why it wasn't done so I don't say anything anymore because it does no good.

    I've watched them hire people and cut their hours to one day a week because they didn't like them. So they would quit. One girl I work with brings her kid to work and he sits in the break room. Didn't know we had daycare. The ASM has kept her granddaughter also at the store. I didn't know this was allowed but the managers make their own rules to go by. When it comes to raises their pets get the raises but the others get corporate ones. 10 to 20 cents. They should move management to different stores and the ASM also. Their pets sit in the office talking to other managers and not on the floor working. They're on their cellphones and not helping the front cashier when they call for help.

    I've seen the manager playing games on his phone also. That's why the camera is turned off in the office. No proof. Also management treats us like we have no brains at all. They are very demeaning to workers. Not the pets they can do no wrong. I use to like working here but no more. Walgreens needs to clean house on managers. They also need to take care of their employees which they don't. I've been working here for nine years, been passed over for head of department and making over, barely, $1000.00 a month. That's really sad that a company cares so little for their employees.

    Last Sunday, I picked up a rx from my doctor's office. It had been waiting to be picked up since 7-17-15 but I was unable to pick up due to illness. I dropped the rx off at 4pm and pharmacy closes at 6pm. Brandi, the pharmacist, promptly called me after I left and advised I was trying to fill my rx ONE DAY too soon. Actually, I thought it was 2-3 days early and explained I have gastroparesis and have been vomiting my medications. I explained this happened a couple of times but I saw the whole pill so I took meds again. This is NOT something I should have had to explain to the pharmacist!

    While I understand it is now a "controlled substance" I had a proper rx from my doctor dated two days prior but Brandi held firm about not releasing my medication until she could contact my doctor. By this time it's 5pm and all pharmacies close at 6pm on Sunday's so there was absolutely nothing I could do. Had I known earlier, I could have taken script to ANY OTHER pharmacy and it would have been filled. I went back to pick up my other rx I had left at 5:55pm. I asked Brandi if they could let me know when they had talked to my doctor and she told me she didn't need to talk to my dr since I was going to wait until following day. So, literally, in 6 hours, when the date changed, she could give them to me.

    THIS WAS AN ARBITRARY DECISION MADE BY ONE BAD, EGOCENTRIC PHARMACIST THAT HAD NO BASIS!! My doctor had written the rx, my insurance was willing to pay for it, she just "wasn't comfortable" issuing me my meds when she knew I was completely out. Move all your prescriptions elsewhere because Brandi may decide that you have to wait an extra day or two to get your Rxs, not based on any law, rule, etc... But solely on her mood!!

    I am a senior citizen who travels alone twice a year from Florida to New Hampshire and I use a TracFone for emergencies and to keep in touch with family. This year, I accidentally dropped my phone on a tile floor and destroyed it the night before leaving Florida. I rushed to Walgreens at 9:30p.m., bought a new TracFone, charged it for 3 hours and then had my minutes transferred to the new phone. Unfortunately, I didn't try the phone until the following night when I stopped in No. Carolina. I could not receive incoming calls and the only way to disconnect an outgoing call was to remove the back of the phone and take out the battery. When I got to NH, I immediately called TracFone and LG.

    After hours of waiting on hold and being transferred from person to person, their response was that I had to return the phone to the store where I bought it (Florida)! I called the Walgreens store in Littleton, New Hampshire. Talked to Shannon, the store manager. I told her I was a Balance Rewards customer, explained the problem and asked if she could do anything to help me. She said she would replace it. I drove to Littleton only to find that they did not carry the model I had. At first Shannon said she couldn't help. Then she said she would send an e-mail to surrounding Walgreens stores to see if anyone might have my model. She called me the next day to say she had located one in Southern NH. Then she arranged to receive the phone, did the exchange, and returned the defective phone to the supplier at no charge to me.

    Shannon could have ignored me like TracFone and LG but instead, she went above and beyond her job requirements to satisfy a Walgreens customer. It was a wonderful experience to deal with someone so professional. THANK YOU Shannon!!! I may drop TracFone service but I will remain a happy Walgreens customer, that's to you.

These patches are a very strong pain medicine. Each prescription comes with sheets & labels explaining how to apply the patches along with warnings & safety information. After an Internet research on expired ** Patches I have learned that expired patches could possibly release not enough or too much of the medication. I understand that pharmacists must go through checklists while dispensing prescriptions. How can an expired expiration date slip through that checklist?

    Was I in harm's way by wearing the expired patches? Will Walgreens replace the patch I had to remove early? The safest way to dispose of the patches is to flush them down the toilet. I flushed the one I removed early & I'm going to be 1 patch short this month if Walgreens doesn't replace it. I hope returning these to the store is going to be a simple process.

This makes no sense to me because my PCP physician would be still ordering my **, Walgreens would fill it and my pain management would be prescribing the same medications but yet that's not dangerous as long as they are coming from two different doctors. What sense does this make? Okay so now I have called my pain management doctor and told him the story and he laughed and said "No problem, we will write your pain medications."

    Now I have a new problem. Because the prescription for my pain med was printed and a copy goes to the DEA I cannot receive another prescription for three months because there cannot be a duplicate. Now Walgreens is refusing to fill this prescription and I have to wait three months to get a new one so what is more dangerous, taking an occasional ** with my pain med or completely cutting me off from the pain meds I have been on for years for disc bulges in my neck and back. Now Walgreens has to take a look at what harm they are creating by refusing my medications for one more prescription until my 90 days is up. I am ready to call my lawyer and go up the ladder if I get no help from Walgreens corporate. I was a dedicated patient that used Walgreens for my lifetime and this is how they treat me.

    Walgreens in Magnolia on Hwys. FM 1488 and FM 1744 filled my medication wrong. When I went to the doctor yesterday, my blood pressure was low and cholesterol was really high. She said it had to be the medication. When I picked two medicines up on May 27th, I noticed one was for a generic that I had never gotten. The receipt said the name of my usual medication and had the correct co-pay on it. I should have questioned this but I just assumed it was the generic for what I take. After taking this medication for over three weeks, I noticed I was really tired. When the doctor told me my medicines had to be wrong, I checked when I got home. The generic med was a blood pressure med. So I was getting double dose of blood pressure medicine and no cholesterol medicine.

    When I called the pharmacy, they said they would look back at their records. They would not admit the mistake. I told them the receipt is right but the med in the package was wrong. They have no record of me getting the generic blood pressure medicine. This was dangerous to my health as I have had a heart attack a few years back and have stints.. My prescriptions are all being transferred to another independent pharmacy in Tomball. It will be less convenient for me, but at least I know the pharmacist and trust him to give me the correct medication. Please all of you check your medications when you pick them up. Don't just trust that the pharmacy will just get them right. Read the label and open the bottles to make sure it is what you are used to taking. I have had a couple of problems with this Walgreens. I am finished giving my business to them. Walgreens is a large company and doesn't care about it's customers.

    I moved Thanksgiving Day 2014 from Arizona to Colorado. Nov 4 I went online to BC/BS of Arizona to see if I had any refills left, I did. So I ordered it and received it before I left. I have the form and where the box says # of refills - it is blank. The post office had my forwarding address effective Thanksgiving Day. In January I noticed my credit card had a charge on Dec 21 from Walgreen's for $30 (that "was" my co-pay). I called them and asked why I was being charged? I was told they mailed my prescription. I said I didn't order it, nor have I received it. I was told there was nothing they could do. It was mailed and I could call the post office and see if they have it. I was given an 800 #. I tried for 4 days during my lunch time never got through.

    I tried calling when I got home from work but they were closed. So I decided to let it go I wasn't going to bother with $30. Then I received a letter from BC/BS saying they paid for my prescription in December of $144.70 and that I needed to pay them back. I called the number on the letter and left a message. I then called an 800# - they had no clue as to what I was talking about even with me giving them a claim #. The lady who signed the letter finally called back from BC/BS a week later and left me a message. She was going to put my claim on hold for 30 days and I needed to call the RX department and file a grievance.

    6/24 I did just that - They had no idea what I was trying to ask of them. They gave me a # and told me to call the Pharmacy department. Guess what - they couldn't help me either. Told me to call Walgreen's Mail Order. I explained the situation and ** said she would put me on hold and ask someone. When she came back on the line she said "because this is 7 months old we cannot help you". I said "but I have a letter stating that BC/BS paid the claim" and the representative told me to file a grievance. I explained I filled out the proper paperwork with the Post Office prior to my move. (They have forwarded all my mail since then). I said "I don't know what is on your packaging if you say 'do not forward?' but I never received the prescription nor did I order it."

    ** put me on hold again. She came back and said she was told there was nothing they could do since is was 7 months old. If I had contacted them earlier they might have helped. I said "I did" in January when I saw the charge on my credit card for Dec 21. I explained that I never received a prescription. I don't know if it was returned to you, lost, stolen. But I never received it. She said "the only thing that is in this record is that we removed the auto fill in January." I asked her name and asked her manager or who she talked to, she said the "help desk - **".

    This is just wrong I have done everything I think is right to solve this problem and no one will help me. I will NEVER NEVER use Walgreen's again nor will I step foot in any of their stores. Maybe this seems silly to some of you over $144.70, but I refuse to pay for something I did not receive. On my credit card bill it says Walgreen's ** AZ. 12/21/14. No order #, but I will put my member # below in the box so you can locate my account with them.

    I ordered a particular brand of cosmetics online, 13 items. The next day RiteAid had the same brand on sale. I contact Walgreen's to ask if they price match and was told no. I then asked if I could return the items once I received them to a local store for a refund and was told I wouldn't get a refund, I'd get a gift card. Then I was told I could return the items for free and get a refund if I used their return label and sent the items back to the warehouse. Out of the 13 items, I kept one that cost $2.99 and returned the rest.

    I get an email two weeks later saying a refund was issued except it was for much less than what I returned. I contact CS and asked "What the heck was going on, I returned 12 items why didn't I get a full refund for 12?" She stated the notes said refund was for 7 items and also said the item I kept was $3.99. I said "That's wrong, don't you see the invoice says I bought 4 at $2.99 each?" She puts me on hold and tells me she refunded the remaining 5 items, but still charged me $3.99 instead of $2.99. Later I contacted CS again to get the correct amount refunded for the item I kept and was told I had been refunded the full amount. I looked at my credit card statement online and it still wasn't the correct amount. Now I can see why so many stores are being closed. They're awful.

    The worst customer service ever. I went to purchase a few items and on my way out I hear an employee yelling at several young girls who are walking out of the store with a bag. The employee was telling them that they didn't pay for something. As me and my children walked to the car which was parked right outside the door, another employee comes from the store and starts taking pictures of my car. I get out of the car and explain to them that I was not the person they were looking for and she brushed me off while walking back into the store. I then go into the store to let her know I'm not the person and noticed that the first employee was telling her the same thing that it wasn't me.

    When I asked to speak to a manager, a lady who was not the manager comes from the back with an attitude as if I was bothering her and said "you can call the 800 number and here's the manager's information". About 10 minutes after leaving I called the store and asked to speak with the manager and yet another lady who wasn't the manager gave me the same information but was very rude. I have never been treated so badly and with such disrespect. As I was being profiled and harassed, no one asked me for a receipt nor said what I was accused of stealing. No one even went after the ladies who were suspected of stealing. No one should be treated this way. Needless to say I'm not doing business there anymore.

Keep in mind I was told Saturday it would be ready today. The pharmacist decided at the last minute to try to change my script from a two week to a month for me. That would have been fine had she not waited until the day it was supposed to be filled. My husband did not quite understand and he was trying to talk to her. She informed my husband since there are issue then she would fill it this time and then we needed to find a new pharmacy to fill my prescriptions.

    That is not all. I complained to management. The pharmacist then proceeded to call me and not to apologize. She let me know my husband was a liar, he was yelling at her and constantly cutting her off. I know my husband and he NEVER yells like that. That is my style. My husband just does not handle problems like that. She actually called to insult my husband and not apologize. She would not even admit to being rude. She said it was good customer service.

    My son has Crohn's. In a way, it is good that Walgreens has this Home Infusion Services. It makes everything easier for us. He can get his infusion at the comfort of our home while the nurse comes over and does it here. Their nurses are awesome. They know what they are doing. They are very experienced and polite. Extremely patient as well. The negative part of Walgreens is what goes behind the scenes. The operations.

    Scheduling... They tend to forget to make the schedule. We are the ones who call in and remind them to make the schedule to do the infusion. When they make the billing... they almost harass you to death... lol. It's like Remistart does not exist to help support the patients to pay part even majority of it, to the point where in it messes up the billing process. The people in Patient Pay - Corporate Center (specifically **) oh my Lord! What a horrendous person! She doesn't even want to work with you! I don't even know why she is in that position. She cuts you off in the middle of you explaining what's going on... You try to tell her how Remistart works and she has her own explanation... I tell her that Remistart provides us with a debit card so they can charge it so we can pay off part of the bill. But she insists of a different form.. What the heck is that?

    You try to call Billing... and nowhere can you get to them... Their Billing statement takes you somewhere else... I even spoke with another gal from Walgreens Reimbursement and she tried to get a # for me and she couldn't even find one. Now that's pretty sad. They cannot schedule an infusion for the patient until we settle billing even if it's their mistake... So they would rather the patient suffer until they get paid... Corporate over health. So...

When I went back they said I had to wait 4 more day to pick up the balance because the insurance company will not pay. This was a balance I was picking up. At the end the insurance who I call said no and they refilled for the full amount and they did not understand what the pharmacy was doing.

    Been a faithful customer for more than 15 years. 4 days ago I went to Walgreens in person for a refill and line was long. Did not want to wait. Went there 3 days later. Order was not refilled but two tier prescriptions were. No apologies, nothing. I asked what happened. No one knew. Got the refill and worker tried to speculate why order was not filled. Told her I was not blaming anyone and she still took it personal. Pharmacist tried to distract me while talking to her by running the card while I was talking to the other employee. When pharmacist talked to me, she put her hand in the direction of my face (from where she was she was 10 feet away) telling me to talk to him.

    I complained to him. He said "you were raising your voice" (in essence confirming my complaint). While she denied doing that, I was telling her she was not there 5 days ago and no need to state different reasons for not refilling. Asked for manager, she came and the employee told her to watch the video. When I told the manager who took place she started shaking her head (not sure why?). Waited 10-20 minutes, manager came after I got her paged and said she did not see anything like I claimed, though my wife was with me and saw the whole thing.

    This pharmacy used to be 24/7. Now I have a good reason to go elsewhere. Always that pharmacy had one pharmacist and one assistant. Poor customer service, need to be trained on how to talk to customer specifically when the screw up on refills.

After the injection, he placed his hand/finger (with the torn gloves) over the opening (not cotton) then used the same gloves and process to inject my wife. Also after sitting in the drive-thru line for 20 minutes, after being called & told, "Your pills are ready," they can't find them & make you drive around again & get back in line. You then have to drive through the homeless people who harass you.

    Our purpose to alert the store manager about this was in hopes they would correct these issues. The manager said she would review the tapes to verify our complaint & never responds. I switched to mail order to avoid going to my local store because of their practices & found out you lose your reward points when refilling by mail order. I called corporate about the loss of points, explain why I no longer go to this store to pick up refills & she initiates a new complaint. I request a return call from corporate.

    My wife went into Walgreens here in Stockton on March Lane on 05/11/2015. She had a prescription for her monthly ** pain meds. The pharmacist refused to fill the prescription because the doctor who ordered it had an office in Antioch CA and one in Stockton CA. They told her that they do not fill scripts from out of county doctors, and so refused her her meds. But one of the advertisements Walgreens does is that they will fill your prescriptions anywhere in the country so that you never have to worry about being out of your meds. Antioch is only 40 miles away and my wife has both Medical and Medicare. Medical is statewide and Medicare is countrywide. She has never had a problem like this before.

    Walgreens employees are rude and not informed of company policies and also of the laws regarding medications when Medicare is the provider. Humana is the prescription provider coverer. She went to Safeway and had no problem getting this filled and she has never used Safeway pharmacy before. Needless to say she will never be using Walgreens again. Most unprofessional store and employees we've ever encountered.

    I called to see if my son's prescription was ready and they said they were working on it and would be ready in 15 mins and I said "Great, I'll be there in 15 mins". When I went to the counter the pharmacist said they did not have the prescription I needed and they would have to order it. I told her I just talked with someone and they said they were working on it. She told me they didn't have the correct dosage and I asked why they didn't call me back and tell me this? I would have been more understanding if this exact thing didn't happen to me last year with my own prescriptions. That is why I personally switched to CVS but I was picking up my son's while he was at work. I had gone in 3 times and they still didn't have my prescription because the distributor they use was out of them. They kept telling me it would be in a couple of days and it never was. This was the type of prescription that you need to take every day or you would have withdrawals.

    I asked if they could contact another store and they told me they all use this distributor. I understand problems arise, but I think it would be courteous of them to call their customers when they don't have a prescription ready or available. I asked who I could speak to file a complaint and she said she was the pharmacy manager. Well I want to write an official complaint with the company if anyone knows who I can send it to. From what I have read, there are many people out there who are fed up with this pharmacy. Needless to say, I will NEVER use this pharmacy again. Awful!!!!

    Yesterday, May 8, 2015, I went to a Walgreens pharmacy in Hyde Park, Ma on Truman Parkway. My hubby was discharged from a rehab facility after a stay for a broken pelvis. I don't normally use this pharmacy, but I went in for convenience. Long story short, I gave his info to the pharm tech and was told to wait for 20 minutes. I shopped and went to pick up the meds. Told to come back in 6 minutes. (Strange. OK.) Went back. Was told by the kid on register that there was no script. Spoke to original tech. She ignored me. Pharmacist says she needs to verify authenticity.... Huh?

    OK. Now I'm fuming. I was told that it would be a 20 minute wait. I'm sure that the reason for the wait was because the med was narcotic. Pharmacist says she's working on it. There are NO other customers. Three people behind the counter. No one even started to fill it for at least 40 minutes. Finally done, nearly an hour later. Kid has med in his hand. Scans the printout and walks away from the counter to the pharmacist. More standing around. I don't get it. Walgreens pharmacy has regulations regarding filling meds. They claim it's for the patients safety and protection. Pharmacist = God? Uh uh. Doctors in Massachusetts are generally cautious about writing pain meds, as there is so much scrutiny. Don't treat us like addicts. And if we are??? Not your problem.

I said, "No, it's free. It's under comp." "Well, we don't have ya comp info in our computer." How y'all like that? Like I said, I been getting my meds there for 2 years and it's been under comp.

When I arrived at the East Bay Drive location the two girls behind the counter, one was a pharmacist, were both very rude and short with me.

    The pharmacist then proceeded to tell me that it will be the last time that she will fill my prescription there because my doctor wasn't within a five-mile radius which I don't understand but the rudeness of her to tell me that she's not going to fill my prescriptions is very sad and I feel the pharmacist should be removed from her job, and Walgreens in whole should reevaluate if they want to take care of their customers as I have been a very loyal Walgreens customer for 5 years now or not maybe.

In fact doctor's assistant had faxed to them three times. I even had received email sent from Walgreen earlier that day informed me the refills are ready for pick up before noon but I end up had drag my poor mother. Went there second time but the refills still not ready!

    The staff even lied to us said doctor had declaimed three refills which was total ridiculous! My mother said I should have them transferred to cvs or costco in the first place instead being humiliated by such irresponsible pharmacist and this had reached the level of absurdity. I've called/stopped by more than twice and can not believe they still not get the job done!!! It's a shame because I select this place simply because it is really the closest one to my house.

Still getting calls to pick it up.

I received a 3 month script that somehow got put on auto refill. I told them to take it off because 84 would last me 3 months. Not only did they refill all 3 refills, they called my pain dr and requested more. I had specifically told them I did not want anymore and they guaranteed me that they never called dr if something was on auto fill, and they would make sure it was turned off.

    Needless to say they called my pain dr which is a big no no and I am going to have some answering to do. They have let me run out of ** 2 times and now my dr is going to give me a hard time.

    Store 13080, 3081 S. Range in Denham Springs, Louisiana. I shopped Walgreens frequently and always noticed extremely long check out lines and few employees on the floor. When I worked there, I discovered why there is such poor customer service. The managers are all sitting in the managers office. I worked 9 hour shifts, with supposedly a 30 minute lunch and 2-15 minute breaks. I was stationed at the front register and was never allowed to take my breaks because management would not provide anyone to relieve me and they would never leave their office.

    After 1 month of working under these conditions, I finally walked away when I desperately needed a restroom break at the 2 hour mark and the manager denied my request to leave the register for 2 hours. After being on the register for 4 hours without a break, I finally walked away. When I passed the manager on my way to the restroom, I stated that she needed to get someone on the register. I tried my hardest to work, and would voluntarily skip my breaks because the holiday traffic was very high. But 75% of the customers complained about only 1 register being open all the time, not just during the busy holiday season.

    A very big issue is the Customer Surveys. I was instructed to selectively point out the Customer Survey forms on the back of each receipt. The managers knew of the extremely poor customer service and instructed me to only point out the survey if I had a very happy customer who would guarantee a positive feedback. They proudly stated that they had a 89% positive rating.

    When the look of surprise came to my face after hearing of the high rating, she laughed and stated, "Yes, I know that is crazy, which shows you to select customers for the survey very carefully. Don't let most of customers know about the survey. Fold the receipt so they don't see that information." I have repeatedly denied to my friends and family that I would write a message to the District Manager of Store #13080 on S. Range in Denham Springs, Louisiana. My friends and family have wanted me to let upper Management understand how this store is giving Walgreens a very bad name and reputation.

    Walgreens makes huge dangerous mistakes and is never held accountable for them. One is when they accidentally gave my husband someone else's medication that ended up being a heart medication. The only reason he knew is he noticed the amount of pills was wrong. It was not until I looked at it that I noticed it was not his prescription at all. Luckily he had not taken one yet. Also Walgreens does not hire enough help. You can sit sometimes for 40 min in the drive thru until your car nearly overheats. They occasionally will jip me on a pill or will have only a broken half.

    I noticed that some pharmacists at Walgreens are better than others. Their automated phone system is for the birds. It will leave me inaccurate messages. It's to the point I never trust it anymore. I just got a call from their automated system that said my prescription is not ready, they are contacting the insurance. Interesting since I just picked it up 5 minutes ago. I also got a second batch of my ** that I just picked up 2 days ago and they just gave me another brand new bottle.

The woman said she'd order the syringes and all we needed to do was bring the bag in. So this time, my husband went there with the bag and was refused. He asked them to call Pilchuck vet.

    So I called. The woman, store manager said they offered to call the vet. He said she was blatantly lying. So I called Evergreen store and they said the pharmacist head on duty decides. And to bring the prescription in. Remember, before they said just bring the bag in.

I've never had any problems with my prescription other than insurance wise until now. I had my dr call it in to the Walgreens at 111 W Washington, Escondido, CA 92025. I informed them that I only pick up 30 at a time because I pay cash for them right now. She says,"Ok we will order them and you can pick them up tomorrow." The next time I go to pick up the second set of 30 I'm told they've got to order them and I can pick them up a day later again. 3rd set of 30 rolls around and it's the same story. I asked the Pharm why they've got to order 30 of my Rx each time when the prescription says 90. Why not order all 90 at once? She tells me their "strictly regulated" and can only order the prescription worth at a time. Ok the whole prescription is 90, order them...

    It's week 5 now, my dr has called in a new Rx, in all the chaos they "lost" my refills, He called it in 2 days early so that they could order it. I call to check on it and now the story is they won't release the prescription until tomorrow as it's a day early. I picked the first one up on 2/21/2015, today is 3/24/2015. I have two days of them left in my bottle and it was called in 31 days ago. How is the prescription EARLY? I know when I go in they won't have it because they have to order it. I will not be doing business with Walgreens if they allow the pharmacy to create and carry out their own regulations of our meds despite the doctor's orders considering they themselves don't have PHD's. My dr recommended I file a complaint with the California Pharmacy Board and I'm waiting to pick up my Rx tomorrow to finish it and mail it off.

    Hello. I have worked near this Walgreens 6360 E Evans Ave Denver, CO 80222 for 3 years now and I have given them enough chances to amend their bad staff or bad attitude. The young man that works in the pharmacy not only is unfriendly but in 2014 July, when there was an insurance mix up, he told me he would call my insurance to figure this out, and for an entire week, I called to check and he told me he is working on it. I finally showed up on Friday because I didn't want to wait for his "call back," it turns out he has done nothing and had to wait 45 mins for my medicines while he called the insurance. Then, he again made a mistake in the quantity and he made me wait another 45 mins to fix it. Then, he advised me that this was very inconvenient for him and for me to at least complete the survey. Then, I promised him that I will never return here.

    I had to run there 9 months later for 3 items that I was looking for specifically for a friend. I think he recognized me and straight out told me he has no idea of this medication when Walgreens carries it. He is not the only rude person in this pharmacy, except the front desk lady, everyone is unhelpful there. When I wanted to go back to the dental section to see if I can find those items without the pharmacist help that I didn't see before, the girl that was restocking the dental section closed the isle down and told me, "this isle is closed" and I cannot enter to check again. I go to other Walgreens locations and everything is fine. It's this one in particular that I cannot seem to ever get anything done in. Thank you.

    I work at Walgreens 1 hour before but today I quit! People there are so horrible and managers too! They have issue opening a bathroom doors, mopping the floor and giving instructions. Pharmacy are the worse! They embarrassed employee there saying things like "did you clean the bathroom, why are you here." One of the manager ** almost throw my cart outside the store, employees working on the floor acts like a manager and taking it too personal. Employee they hired quitting after 2 months or 3. Discrimination is one of them.

    I have four pain disorders, so my physicians play around with my pain meds because after a while they stop working. Walgreens pharmacy is making me to feel as though I am a drug addict seeking drugs. I hate that my body has to be rattled with pain constantly, and I don't take the meds as prescribed. When I drop off my prescription sometimes I'm unable to pick it up for several days. Would a drug addict do this, of course they wouldn't. They have flagged my chart so it doesn't matter which one I go to I get the same treatment. They contact the DEA to see when my last Rx was filled. I hate Walgreens. Why must you abuse your customers.

    Been going to Walgreens Pharmacy in Orlando Fl on Michigan St, for over 5 years - (switched back from CVS) with the same meds and same qty. Brought my scrips in on Friday 13th cause that was the day of my appt. - last month's scripts were filled on the 13th also but Feb caused some confusion which I do understand -- no problem. My problem is with a single staff member. When my wife went to get my meds when they said they would be ready, they weren't. Had to take time from her work to get them for me as I was not able to get to the store. Upon getting there she (wife) said that they should have been ready, that's when its issue comes in.

    The tech that was assisting my wife when the person I had a conversation with on the Friday before came to him and was telling him that I was upset, this is that guy that was being a PAIN when I couldn't fill cause it was to early. (filled last month on the 13 the day I brought them in this mo. was the 13th but February messed it up -- understandable) which was totally untrue!!!! She said this loud enough that my wife heard it and was very offended by her comments. When she got home she asked me to describe the lady that I had talked with on the Friday I tried to bring them in, upon doing so she said that the same lady was talking bad about me to the other pharmacist.

    I was very courteous, and very monotone, nothing I thought as offensive/defensive -- Which I wasn't either. I called Corporate to complain and was treated very professionally! and said I would get a call in a couple days -- well I got the call from the Walgreens Pharms manager ** in less than an hour!!!! nice to see there on the ball! ** was very supportive and professional about the situation and said he was going to take care of it and asked if he could anything else for me. I said no as I just wanted to bring it to the attention of someone that would care.

    I am writing this so that maybe others that get this kind of behavior, might have the same xp with the store manager. I will be going back next month, so we'll see if there is a prob filling them again, or if My Complaint to corp is going to get me blackballed from filling there. All in all I don't really have a major problem with Walgreens. I just didn't like someone employed there that was having a bad day saying untruths loud enough so other people could hear -- just so happend the one that heard it was MY WIFE. there is such a thing called HIPPA.

    I went to Walgreens this afternoon get a toothpaste. The cashier put it in the other customer's bag and that was the last one. He get one I also get one. The cashier told that is it very arrogant. Her name is ** and the shift manager too was there. I think they did it because of my color. They make me very upset. Will never go back there.

    I've been shopping at Walgreens for long time; never had an issue before but met the rudest employee on March 15 when I went to the store (3400 North Belt Line RD, Irving, TX). She accused me of stealing $6.00 worth eyeliner when the fact was I was in the store (not left the store yet) and not done with my shopping yet. She told me to leave the store in a very rude way but I told her to call the cops because I knew I was not stealing. She called the cops; cops didn't listen me and he gave me the Criminal Trespass Warning. I was their loyal customer. How can she treat me like that when I shop there all the time and do Walgreens think that I will steal $6 eyeliner? Who donates money every month to the needy ones?

    I am very much hurt and was also crying in the store.That store is nearby my house, that's why I shop there all the time. But now I am never going to step any Walgreens in my life. That lady made my worst night ever and as long as Walgreens keep those employee, Walgreens will be losing the business. That is how Walgreens employee gives customer service - accusing a clean person. She is the rudest employee I have ever seen in my life. I really need the response for my complaint and need clarification.

    My prescription was supposed to be ready four days ago and it still is not. I will be switching pharmacies and telling everyone I know not to go there. This is stupid and should not happen. Now I have been 4 days without medicine that I need.

    I have been on long term chronic pain medication since 1998. I go to my doctor once a month and get a prescription each month to take to the pharmacy, I sometimes have trouble finding my prescription but usually Walgreens has it, even though most of the pharmacists treat me like a drug addict. I get exactly 30 days worth of meds each month and I never run out early, I take my prescription as directed. I have noticed on several occasions that the pharmacist makes comments like "Are you sure you aren't using more than one doctor and more than one pharmacy?" I can't believe they can even talk to me like that!!! Because there are 31 days in December and 31 days in January I tried to get my rx filled one day early in February and was told I could not do so, when I asked why I could not have it one day early I was told it was the law.

    I work as an insurance biller in a doctor's office and I know I can get the rx filled at 29 days, I don't ask it every month, I have to have a prescription from my doctor so I can't get it filled til I had the script in hand! So, when I went to fill my prescription filled last night, I was told by the pharmacist at the Walgreens on Leaphart and Hwy 1 in West Columbia SC that she would get it ready, come back in an hour because they are busy. I came back an hour later and the pharmacist told me she had not gotten to it, give her a minute and it would be done. I had taken my last pill two hours earlier and needed it filled for the dose for Friday morning.

    She came over, with a very clear attitude and said that I tried to get her to fill it early and she wasn't doing it. I told it wasn't early, I took my last one today, I explained to her the two 31 days months, at that point she stopped me. She said I should have gotten it filled early in February, I told her I tried but she, she personally, refused to fill it early, said it was the law and I needed to monitor my medication better. I told her there was nothing wrong with how I take my meds, I take them as directed! She then said it was a law that I could get it one day early, so I asked her which law was right??? I guess it is the law that works to her advantage at that particular moment! We now go to CVS! I have had so many snide comments made to me from Walgreens pharmacists, if they are so jaded they should change professions! Some of us are really honest people! I won't go back!
