Wouldnt want to use any other pharmacy right now. I've tried others.. But even when I have or do I always come to Walgreens. They're the one for me.. even in the worse days that I know they're always.

I'd like to commend and recognize BETTY at Walgreens Pharmacy on S. Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA. She's provides outstanding, personalized service in a fast-paced environment. She's very busy filling prescriptions yet takes time to explain drugs to patients. She's a knowledgeable medical professional and should be given a raise for her hard work!! Today I got a flu shot from her. She was giving shots ON TOP OF filling prescriptions and consulting with patients!! SHE'S ALSO FRIENDLY AND WARM!!

We had difficulty determining when the only pharmacy--Walgreens in our town, Bridgehampton, NY, had flu vaccine for seniors. Many frustrating phone calls (left on hold) later, we went the the store and waited more than an hour without confirmation that we could get our flu shots. We had to wait in line with maybe 20 people and not very good social distancing. The pharmacy is in the back of the store and the ventilation is poor. If we don't go to restaurants or bars due to COVID, why do we have to wait like this for flu shots, with even their availability confirmed once we are in line waiting? Why don't they have you sign in and wait in your car til they call you?
Then they claimed that my insurance did not cover a flu shot, but I knew that it did and kept insisting. Finally, they agreed. I had a new card, but my husband had only his old card. They would not verify with our insurance company. If this was for a high profit prescription drug, they would have called to verify. Shame on Walgreens that charged my husband $61 for what should have been free. Now I have spent half a day trying to get a refund. My insurance company agrees: This store is "very nasty!" Walgreens says that it will take 6 to 8 weeks for a refund. They stole from us: $61 plus my time to solve this injustice and my peace of mind! This chain deserves to be put out of business! Manager Scott is very uncaring!!!!

Yesterday I went to the Walgreens store at 18550 Green Valley Ranch Blvd Denver, CO 80239, and apparently the pharmacy is closing at 6:00pm without the website reflecting this. I arrived at the family and waited in line for two people who were at the window and when it was my turn the two people who were attending told me that it was already closed. I informed them that the website did not report this closure, even though the windows were open. And in a rude way they told me that they had already closed. My prescriptions were already paid for and they only had to give them to me. I had to spend over $300.00 to go to a Emergency Room for our lack of customer service.
Well, the long story short was that I was going to pick up my medication from the pressure I didn't have and I could hardly sleep from the headache and high pressure I suffered at night until the morning when the doctor lowered my pressure with medication samples. I have been a client of Walgreens for many years but I believe this was an abuse and will be my last prescription to work with you from now on. I will go to CVS who already have branches in Puerto Rico where I travel frequently.

Walgreen is a rip-off over false advertisement. June 20, 2020 @ 3:05PM I stop by Walgreens, store #05536 at 2808 Gessner Rd Houston Tx 77080. I purchased two items that were on sale for $13.99, regular price $16.49; I did not notice that I was charged regular price till I got to my destination. I call and request to speak with a store manager, a assistant manager came in the phone and stated that I had to take the merchandise so she could see what I was talking about.
I told her that I would go the next day because I was not able to return the same day; when I went back on June 21st about 7:20PM and she gave me excuses that the sale had just started on the 21st, even though I showed her a picture that the label was there on the 20th when I purchased the merchandise. The manager at the store has no management skills on how to handle a situation that goes wrong, she threatened to call the police on me because I was claiming refund on the over charge. I will never in my life going back to a Walgreens store, and just as I sharing this experience with the world; I also shared it with my family.

This is a worst experience came across for the past 20 years with Walgreens in 6120 Hwy 6, Missouri City Texas on 06/20/2020. I put an internet request for 3 months of ** on the previous day. I had a Sanofi coupon and called to run the coupon. The Pharmacist Sam B run the coupon and said no co-pay and I requested for 3 months. When my son collected the medication it was only one pen for one month. The label shows ** 3 MLS - quantity 3 (rec'd only 1 pen). Refill left 1. I called the pharmacist and, he was very very rude and stated that he was running the ** for one month only and it went through even though I requested for 3 months. He never communicated to me back anything. I requested him how can we solve the problem as my husband is going out of town.
First he stated call back after 2 hours and then he stated call back after 3 hours and then he said, "You can only get after a month." I asked him, "Can you process this right now while you are spending more than 30 min with me talking," without accepting his mistake of processing and he could help other patients who need the help. But he stated that, "I am paid hourly and I get my pay every 2 weeks so I do not care for how many patients I help daily." That sounds to me that he is not the pharmacist meant for patients and for the company.
I do not recommend or give one star for this experience from this pharmacy. I strongly recommend the management looks into the worst negative attitude of the employees especially this pharmacist who talked to the customers or patients when there is 6 major pharmacies like HEB, Target, Walmart, CVS located within 2 miles. I strongly recommend HEB pharmacy for any of the needs if the insurance accepts. They are very approachable, polite and very sensible.

The lady who answers the phone at Walgreens might be called RUDE. I won't call her RUDE. It took 8 days for Walgreens to give me the FedEx tracking number for my delivery. The delivery was for prescription medication. In-person customer service at this store is okay. But not delivery or over the phone. Those two are questionable at best.

She got mad, yelled at me that she was slammed the drawer shut and walked away.. Just over 5 min later the pharmacist comes to the window, he was told I needed to speak to him. I never said that.

Submitted my husband's rx (Stage 4 prostate cancer, brachial plexus injury and spinal metastasis in central spinal canal) for a potent pain medication. Pharmacist refused to fill it because there was a long-lasting pain medication prescription at another pharmacy. This pharmacy is the only one in the area that deals with the more potent med. Pharmacist told him that if he filled the long-lasting pain med he would refuse to fill the other prescription. My husband's doctor is a pain management physician and knows what he is doing.
Why are Walgreens pharmacists allowed to decide what pain medications are filled because they "don't feel comfortable" filling it? Thank goodness we found another pharmacy willing to fill the prescription they refused. Such b.s. in the name of the "opioid crisis!" Look online to see Walgreens' 11 step "National Target Drug Good Faith Dispensing Checklist". It will show you how they assess whether your prescription can be filled. He jumped through all the hoops and they still wouldn't fill the meds.

I shop at the Walgreens in South Burlington, Vermont and as I require many prescriptions for my health it should be very convenient. I've found however that my prescriptions are never filled when they are supposed to be or they fill ones I don't need yet. The staff doesn't seem to communicate with each other and one of the full time assistants is kind and courteous to some customers and quite nasty to others. It's not easy to irritate me but they seem to have a special skill at this location. One day I was forced to wait for almost three hours for antibiotics and steroids because I had pneumonia!
If this were my store I certainly would not want someone that ill waiting for this length of time in my store as it's not a comfortable environment for other shoppers to having someone basically coughing up a lung at the pharmacy. Today's issue is pain meds that three days ago was discussed with the pharmacist and had been delayed because of a holiday (which I understand), he said it would be ready for 10a.m. When I called today to be sure it would be ready for my care person to pick up two hours after they open I was told they had no idea when it would be ready to go because there were lots of people that called ahead of me... Also, don't even get me started on their phone app!???

Walgreens pharmacists are just that, pharmacist. Somehow they feel they have the right to deny pain meds that your doctor has prescribed. They have no idea of your health and have no right to make such an assumption. Something needs to be done that doesn’t allow them this leverage on judging buyers. I ran into a lady that used to work at Walgreens and now she is with another pharmaceutical company, she said the difference is night and day. Apparently their workers are treated poorly as well. I am always amazed how these drug dealers who sell to anyone, can get away with it but going to a doctor and getting a prescription, leaves Walgreens to make a judgment call. Unbelievable.

Right before the lockdown order for my state, I placed an order with Walgreens for a blood pressure monitor. I am high risk and going out to check my blood pressure is not very smart. After a week, my Walgreens order was still "Processing". They did place a hold for the amount of my order on my card. I contacted customer service requesting to cancel my order so I can purchase my monitor somewhere else. I am Stage 2 and need to monitor closely. I was told by Walgreens customer service that my order cannot be cancelled.
Their order processing is automatic, once you place it, you can't cancel. That is a lie. I have cancelled a Walgreens order before. I did explain to the customer service representative that is essential for me to have a blood pressure monitor and Walgreens is keeping my money hostage. I was advised by Walgreens to go to a hospital to check my blood pressure. In the middle of an epidemic, high risk is told by a pharmacy to expose themselves to a deadly virus instead of cancelling an order. I do not have the luxury of purchasing a second monitor while Walgreens has a hold on my original purchase amount.
My choices at this point are: risk my life and go to a clinic to check my blood pressure, stay home and hope I will wake up tomorrow, sacrifice my food budget and order from somewhere else. I cannot express how disgusted and appalled I am by all this. Thank you, Walgreens, for playing with my life. You place more value on the few dollars you will get from me than the life you are effectively ending.

So my wife picks up two prescriptions for me on her way home from work a while ago. These are both scripts that I've had for a few months and pick up on a monthly basis. When I need one of the insulins I open the bag to find it is the wrong prescription (right med, wrong delivery method). I don't have the needles, syringes or training to draw and inject this insulin; nor do I have a scipt for any of the materials since I have never had it before.
Since I am leaving for work, my wife says she'll take the wrong medicine back to the store and asks for an exchange to the correct insulin. She is told, "Sorry we can't do that, we'll fill it again and charge you the $500+ again!!!" I get home from work Saturday and she explains what's going on, it's already late so I wait until Sunday morning to call pharmacy and try to straighten things out.... I am lied to, disrespected and insulted to the point where I raised my voice as I was constantly talked over... Please tell me how is it ok to steal from a customer?
How is it ok not to verify that a script being filled is correct or what the customer needs? Whatever happened to the pharmacy checking with the person picking up the meds that they understood what they were getting and how to use it? Apparently this location doesn't need to be bothered with Customer service, responsibilities or doing the right thing, they'll do what they want, when they want, and charge you double for it. When you try to call for help, they treat you like crap, blame it all on the doctors office, then blame it on the doctors office and you. Not one time ever even coming close to admitting they have a part in the process much less actually having blame... Well guess what Walgreens, I DON'T HAVE OVER $500 for another refill... So I'll just go without my insulin for another day until my doctors office is open on Monday and I can get them to train me on how to use this vial and call in a prescription for the materials to someone else.
I am DONE being a Walgreens customer, over 10 years of loyalty is GONE in a single morning. This is far from the 1st time in the past year that mistakes were made, information was not given and we've received poor customer service. Far from the 1st time we've had to ask the Manager to get involved as mistakes were made. But this time for the Manager to continuously talk over me, treat me like a child, speak down in a condescending tone, refuse to answer questions and consistently repeat it's all the Doctor's fault without listening to anything I asked... I don't care if it is the closest pharmacy to us; it'll be worth it to driving a little further, I am sure that Publix, CVS, Saraland Pharmacy or McConaghy Drugs would all like to have our business each month and not treat us like crap.

Have been refilling the same medication for almost two years at Prairie du Chien Walgreens. Never had any major issues. My doctor advised I could get an early refill date due to being unable to get to the pharmacy on the due date. Pharmacist refused. They called and told me to phone my doctor, but the clinic was closed, on a Friday afternoon too! The prescription had been sent in hours earlier that day. If you receive any type of controlled medication the staff, particularly a certain pharmacist named Jared will treat you like you are worthless and have zero empathy!
I tried seeing if I could pick it up ONE day early and pharmacist initially said okay. Then he started going on and on about I should have enough, they need to talk to the doctor, etc. Very rude and unprofessional. I asked to speak to someone else, but unfortunately only one pharmacist was on duty. It shouldn't depend on who is working. You should be given access to a legal prescription especially a medication that is needed for treatment. He ran it through my insurance and it was approved. He only based this refusal on his beliefs. Not fair that a doctor can help a patient, but the pharmacist can override it.

Customer service is the absolute worst service that I have ever experienced in my 60 years. Every month there is a problem filling prescriptions. Usually takes a minimum of 3 phone calls, and at least 2 trips to the store. And the sad part is that my 3 medications haven't changed in 7 years!! They ran out of this, they can't get this script till Thursday, or, your medication was ordered but never came in. Today's ordeal took 3 trips to the pharmacy to finally get filled, and each time I called before getting in my car, and each time I was told "you are all set". Now on the 3rd visit they told me I would have to wait till the vaccine shots were completed. Just awful! I am pulling all my scripts, and the rest of my family's scripts, and that totals about $1250.00 a month they receive from me between insurance and co-pays.

I am a Diabetic with an implanted ICD Unit in my chest. Called in a prescription for one of the 4 medications I take for Diabetes. Picked up prescription the next day. Did not notice I was two (2) bottles short. These pills come prepackaged 30 pills per bottle from the pharmaceutical company. Called Walgreens and advised the on duty Pharmacy Assistant of my discovery with no results. Went to the Store the very next day, spoke with the Store's Assistant Manager and he stated when they reviewed the film, it (film) showed that the Pharmacist placed 3 bottles of Meds in the bag. I told them that apparently something happened to the two bottles between the time the pharmacist filled the prescription and my pick up the next day.
Due to the fact that this medication is very expensive I am filing a Police Report. The clerks who work in this particular Walgreens were kind enough to vouch for my integrity which I very much appreciate, but someone took two (2) bottles of my prescription out of the bag before it was given to me. I feel that since both my wife and I are long time Customers of Walgreen they should have been willing to replace the Meds and offer to investigate this offense. It reflects poorly on the store, the Manager and everyone who works there. I was always taught, "ONCE A THIEF, ALWAYS A THIEF." This WALGREENS in Henderson, Nevada has a major INTERNAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!!

Walgreens creates a pleasant environment. You don’t have to walk across large parking lots and dodge cars and search for spaces before you can get into the store. They have a place that’s laid back where you can pick up your medicine, a few groceries, some toiletries, your developed photos and a birthday card for a family member with relatively no hassle. I just love the convenience and overall feel of the store. Love the smiling workers too. The prices are always fair and competitive and they have a pretty good rewards program for repeat customers.

The pharmacists further said that she could give me the actual shot and medicine and that I could take it to my own doctor and they could administer it.

I’ve used Walgreens for 10+ years with the same prescriptions every month, although with new health issues, more medication is prescribed. I broke my back in 2004 and have had three major back surgeries. My entire spine is titanium (rods, screws, pins and bridges) and currently much of the hardware is broken in the lumbar region. During this time I have battled follicular carcinoma with complete thyroidectomy and Stage IIC melanoma. Needless to say, I take a lot of medication for various health problems. Pain unfortunately is one problem I suffer with daily and it is not only debilitating but also extremely depressing. Because of the opioid crisis, it seems all patients suffering neuropathy, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis and every other pain related problem, are automatically treated as drug abusers. They have ZERO empathy or compassion for customers anymore.
You’d think after many years they would have my medical record, but even so, I’m treated like I’m just abusing pain medication. It’s sad, it really is. The depression 90% of patients develop due to living in constant pain isn’t enough, they just add on to already feeling life is worthless. I only pray insurance companies due what’s right and cover natural therapy, which I understand is proven to help patients who suffer with chronic pain, and do away with these pharmacies. Seems they only care to profit off of the declining health of patients while also demeaning those same patients.
I will rejoice in the day these companies are gone and natural remedies are available. I would never recommend Walgreens to anyone. I also filed complaints with corporate and the Better Business Bureau because how they treat REAL patients is inhumane! I guess the president cracking down on the opioid crisis has hurt their business so they’re now taking it out on authentic sufferers, and I don’t blame him for that. I blame the pharmacy for showing their true colors.

I have always learned that when you apologize for something you did wrong you fix it and you don't do it again. Well I live in Rochester New York. Walgreens took over Rite Aid. When they switched over the first week you had to wait two hours for your medications to be filled. When you went to go pick it up that was about a half an hour wait. Their phone systems, if you tried to call, I tried three times and each time I weighed on average 45 minutes to an hour find me. When I get to customer on the phone I got disconnected. When I call the main phone number for the store I was told, "Come on inside. it might be easier." And now their drive-thru to pick up your meds is down. Can't go through it.

As we start a new year people on a fixed income can't afford their prescriptions. Commercials on TV act like the pharmacy is helping people get their prescriptions at the best price. My Mother lives in Oakland MD and she was told by Walgreens that it was illegal to use Goodrx for pain meds. I called Goodrx and that is an outright lie. It's up to the Pharmacist. So in my Mom's case they want her to pay 297.00 for her pain meds and they won't let her use Goodrx to get it for a third of the price. Shame on you Walgreens.

The customer service today was terrible. I called my prescription in yesterday and they said I could pick it up at 10 today, then no, I couldn't get it until 1 in the afternoon. I called to find out what was happening and they said drive right over, but not until I was ready to pay did they say that I couldn't refill it until the end of the month, which is very strange, and never happened before with any prescription.
The employee was an absolute attitude problem waiting to happen, which I'd normally ignore, but on top of all this runaround... I've also had a stressful day and I don't act like that. Walgreens, can't you do better? This especially upsets me since my ear and sinus infection is very bad, triggering awful migraines, and the meds help keep the pressure down. Yet the employee was actually sneering at me, almost daring me to complain. Not something I was expecting from anyone, much less someone whose job this is.

This is the third time, a Walgreens cashier has stolen from me. The first two times I caught the overcharging theft as soon as I left the store and immediately returned to have it corrected. This time I had walked all the way home and started putting my items away when I looked at the receipt and saw the scam. I contact Walgreens via customer service chat and was disconnected and told to walk all the way back to the store despite my disability and exhaustion and it being nighttime. I was even charged for an item I did not buy and overcharged again because the cashier did something and lost the scan of my savings card.

Walgreens, Groton, CT, Long Hill Road location. Every month this Pharmacy location seems to believe they have a right to delay or withhold medications that they believe a customer shouldn't be on. Every month I get a notification saying I'm delayed for UNTRUE reasons. Because I was nice enough to authorize a partial substitute with an off-brand once due to their stock issues, now they do it all the time and sometimes the whole script, I ask them not to anymore and they say because I authorized it now my doctor has to tell them to no longer substitute it.
11/07/19 they leave a vm saying delayed and need authorization from the doctors, I call the doctors and they deny this or any contact from walgreens, 12/04/19 Walgreens vm delayed for insurance issue, contact insurance and again UNTRUE and ALREADY CHARGED, I contact walgreeens and they SAY they are REALLY DELAYED because they were delayed FOR LIES last month so now I'M DELAYED to pick up this month, they don't care if it's paid for already, they hold it based on last month's pick up date which THEY DELAYED! My doc now had to call an change the script!!
12/28/19 Walgreens delayed for insurance issues again UNTRUE, I called and spoke to Andrea the pharmacist on 12/30 who tells me that it's REALLY DELAYED cause my doctors called "per Ashley" and told them not to fill it until the 11th, WHAT! I call the doctors and they say that's not true, they call walgreens and walgreens never says to them anything about Ashley the receptionist and instead tells them that THEY WON'T give it to me because I have to finish the first script in full WHAT! This was a change to the last script given to me the month before because I'm pregnant and they were making me sick and throwing up so this is a different medication and a specific medication and brand!!
Andrea then tells me that I SHOULD HAVE INFORMED THEM THAT I'M PREGNANT...WHAT!! And that I can’t have a script that is there waiting for me which is **, WHAT! Who the he!! does this idiot think she is that customers should have to disclose to them medical conditions! A Yale New Haven prenatal specialist sent over that script but yet this glorified pill dispenser is telling me she somehow knows more than the kind of education a Yale baby doctor would have!! She doesn’t know why it was prescribed NOR SHOULD SHE!
I dare Andrea to call this ACTUAL DOCTOR and tell her that she needs to explain to Andrea why she prescribed that for me and tell this specialist that they should have told Andrea I'm pregnant cause I would love to hear what this ACTUAL doctor would say in response!! What kind of a narcissist do you have to be to think that customers to walgreens or doctors have to tell you their medical issues before they can have a script so that you THE PHARMACY can decide if the script is accurate!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO VIOLATE A CUSTOMER'S PRIVACY, you have no right to hold my medications because you were unaware of my medical issues, you have no right to hold my medications until you find out why they were prescribed!!
The days when you would worry about getting your script or wondering if insurance would cover it GONE, now your biggest concern is if walgreens' pharmacist who wanna play DOCTOR think you should be on the medication because if they think you shouldn't be on it, they will delay them, hold them, lie to you, put you through hell every month or just not give them to you AT ALL! My pregnancy is high risk and if I end up in the hospital due to stress or from not having the medications that walgreens are playing games with every month which is easily proven by all the “delayed” voicemails for lies, I will come for walgreens!!
I've been with the same doctors for 10 years and this same pharmacy for 10 years, 4 years ago this place was staffed with the most amazing pharmacist and assistants and now the ones here are wannabe DOCTORS and NOT in any way that would help a customer, huge difference compared to 4 years ago when I probably trusted those pharmacist more than my doctors.

I am a insulin dependent diabetic for over 55 years. I take insulin two to three times daily sometimes more on a sliding scale after running out of insulin a few days before my insurance would Supply another one during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. GoodRx had a coupon at a very reduced rate at Walgreens Pharmacy. I went by to check with them and see if it was good. The pharmacy said she didn't know for sure but it should be good. I had to transfer my prescription to their store. After doing that I went in to pick the script up and it was approximately 5 times what the coupon showed it should cost or over $300. The coupon said $68.
After some checking online at the actual Walgreens website on picking the prescription up it shows it was billed to my insurance. They are not in that program and they wouldn't honor it. That's why they said it was $300 and it was a combination of data that was entered by both the pharmacy that transferred the prescription and Walgreens. They purposely did not want to fill the script. They wanted to leave it with whoever two blocks up the road which is Walmart where I've gotten it for years wanted and they had a temporary pharmacist there. Neither one of the two places helped did this like it should have been done. You're calling the insurance. They were basically, "Dennis if you need to go to the emergency center go there. If your sugar is 500, just go there. I don't know what we can do with that. They should have filled the script." And Walmart did finally fill it the same day at my normal copay but nothing was handled right by Walgreens. Very disappointed.

The Walgreens at 1661 West Florida Avenue Hemet Ca 92543 is beyond RUDE, LAZY, DISRESPECTFUL, AND BEYOND DISGUSTING! I have gone to Walgreens for a while and have been on the same medication for a long time now. When I walked up to the pharmacy the tech was at the counter looked at me, did not say anything and walked away. Finally after 10 min of waiting there I hand them my prescription slip and asked how long and they said it will be at least a week before they get it in and would not see what they could do about it sooner. So when I asked them to call another Walgreens to see if they have the medication they refused to and told me to pick a pharmacy and stop bouncing.
I was shocked at her rudely telling me this and I responded with, "I have been at Walgreens for a while. Yes, I have used a different Walgreens location because the regular one did not have my medications," and she rudely said that is unacceptable and I'm not allowed to do that. I said I was under the impression all Walgreens are connected and that you can go to any Walgreens and she told me that I'm not allowed to and I have to suck it up and wait till whenever that exact Walgreens has my medication.
I kept asking for her to call another (keep in mind the pharmacist is just standing there not helping or saying anything). She told me to have a seat, it will be about 30 minutes for her to call another Walgreens to ask if they have what I needed. And she rudely walked away and as I sat there and watched her she never called so I called the other Walgreens just for curiosity if it would be 30 minutes and left to another Walgreens (the one off east Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Ave in Hemet) and immediately when I walked in they were extremely helpful and went up and beyond to find a Walgreens that had the medication I needed.
I will be calling corporate in the morning to report that store and I will be calling my insurance company and report them as well so others can hopefully have a better experience than me. Ultimately I went to the Walgreens that the 2nd Walgreens found for me and sent me to and they were extremely kind and helpful too! So not all Walgreens pharmacies are bad. I just hope that the Walgreens at 1661 West Florida Avenue Hemet Ca 92543 gets properly dealt with so no one has to feel belittled, disrespected, demeaned, or any other negative feeling due to those employees.

I got to use 2 coupons because I had 2 boxes and was told I was only able to use 1 coupon due to what it says on the coupon. Which was "one coupon per purchase". I advised him yes it says one coupon per purchase and I am purchasing 2 boxes so therefore here are 2 coupon. He said no I can only take 1 coupon because it says one per purchase. I said I should be able to use 2 coupons because there is NO LIMIT AS TO HOW MANY I CAN USE IN A TRANSACTION! He said, "Yes there is it says one coupon per purchase." I again said, "Yes I am purchasing 2." And he says again I can only use one and if I want to use the other one to do another transaction. I was like, "But wait. I wouldn't get the other one half off then."
So instead of giving your store some profit you just lost a sale all together due to your employees not being educated enough to differentiate what purchase vs transaction means. I have corporate 4 times regarding this issue and they keep saying it has been escalated to upper management and should receive a call back with 48 hours. Have not received a call as of yet and it's been about a month. I want to know what is the benefit of Walgreens having a customer relations department.

I was calling other Walgreens stores to see if they had it, and then calling my doctor to redirect the script. I made a total of 16 calls and ended up getting my doctor to phone the script to a compounding pharmacy that could make it, where I currently get it filled, even though they don't take insurance... I just don't trust Walgreens on that script anymore.
Yesterday I tried to refill 3 scripts online at Walgreens.com. I received a notice this morning saying my refill was ready. I got to the store and only 1 medication was ready, and they said they only could see one other, but would have to come back for that one. When home I logged on to Walgreens.com and all three were showing, but one said there was a technical issue, and to call the store, which I did. They didn't understand the problem but pushed them through to get them filled. So a recap, to get my scripts filled, I (i) ordered online, (ii) call them, and (iv) drove to the pharmacy twice.

Walgreens bought up the RiteAid chain. Our local RiteAid continued on, as is, until recently. They closed the doors for about a week and reopened as Walgreens. RiteAid always had two pharmacists on duty, well-known to the community. They changed so many things they didn't have to. There was only one employee from the RiteAid staff - and it wasn't a pharmacist. There was less staff and only 1 pharmacist.
Automated telephone answering is inherently obnoxious, but at least the RiteAid process was efficient. "For the pharmacy, press 1; For store hours, press 2; For press 3" and so on. Walgreens has switched to an answering system where a bot asks you why you're calling and doesn't even repeat what you've said so you know they've interpreted you correctly. This is very challenging for a hearing impaired person like me. Both the voice of the automated speaker and the waiting music was grating on my ears. When I finally got the pharmacy clerk on the other end, she was hemming and hawing as she looked up my prescriptions. It had already been almost a week since I picked up the first of four prescriptions. I wondered what was going on.
When I arrived at the pharmacy, only the pharmacy clerk was there. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my order because the pharmacist was giving a flu shot. The line behind me was growing. (I think this might have been one reason why RiteAid had two pharmacists on duty.) When the pharmacist came back and released my prescriptions to the clerk, it was only 2 of the 3 remaining, and the clerk said that they didn't know when they would get the other medication. This is not an improvement. I went to write to Walgreens about my experience and when I finished I saw their caveat that my message would become their sole property, and that did it. I cancelled the comment and vowed to find a better way to express my dissatisfaction.

I have been using Walgreens for quite a while because of the convenience of the drive thru. Every month it’s a guess as to if they will have my pain meds in stock. I start getting antsy about it a week before they are due. Often I have thought perhaps I was shortchanged on the count, maybe 1-3 pills but I figured I screwed up somewhere, how? I didn’t know. The last time I got it filled, it was a new pharmacist and he called me at 4:30am to tell me the script was ready for pick up. I did notice that he put the pills in a smaller container than usual, but I just figured his choice. I’m so trusting, but I shouldn’t have been!
I am very careful with my pain meds and keep them hidden even if it’s only my husband and myself here most of the time. I noticed when I went to fill my weekly dosage pill boxes (I do 4 weeks at a time) that I am short 20 pills!!! I think the pharmacist got to 100 and for some reason stopped counting. I don’t know how to fix this, it would be my word against him. This month I will count them when refilled and with a witness. If I’m short again, I will file a complaint and change pharmacies. Anyone else ever have that problem? Ugh!!!

Last night I called the pharmacy I've used for at least a decade to refill a couple prescriptions. When I dialed the number, I was automatically routed to Walgreens Pharmacy's voicemail/automatic refill system. Thinking I'd dialed a wrong number or that the lines were crossed, I tried again, with the same result. Then I thought maybe it was a glitch with my landline, so I tried with my cell phone. Same result, twice. I then called Walgreens pharmacy number and explained my plight to the girl who answered. She transferred me to her supervisor, who confirmed that Walgreen's had bought out my pharmacy, and I could refill my prescriptions at any Walgreens pharmacy.
My former pharmacy had two stores in my city, so I called the other one today. They said that it was unfortunate that they'd had to close so suddenly, "leaving the staff high and dry, and hurting a lot of people." I asked if I could have my refills filled at their location, and she told me that unfortunately, some customers had tried that and Walgreens "threw a fit," saying that they should have the first chance to serve my pharmacy's former clients.
So I reluctantly had my refills filled by Walgreens today. When I went to pick them up, the lukewarm employee told me one of the refills was only a partial refill because they'd run out of my medication. They gave me enough for five days, and I have to go back to get the rest. I suddenly remembered this happening to me at another time in my history with Walgreens, and just a few minutes ago, I read someone else's review that revealed that it seems to be a common problem of Walgreens.
I'm already missing my former pharmacy, where I enjoyed such warm personal service they greeted me by name when I walked through the door, and immediately went to get my prescriptions. Rarely were they ever out of my medications. As soon as these prescriptions have run out, I will ask my doctor to direct future prescriptions to the other location of my former pharmacy. Oh, the clincher to this story is that my refills cost me a dollar more at Walgreens than they did at my former pharmacy.

When made a special 30 mile trip to pick up, the pharmacy tech informed me "it was too early." I explained that I had received instructions it was but that did not matter. I spoke with manager "Mike" and was informed that the message was generated by a "third party" and that he would speak with his manager about the problem. I requested to be contacted, but nobody called. I got another message that another Rx was due. Again the same run around. So TWO wasted trips.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS!!! I have written before and nobody ever responded. Website contact form does not work. I will be posting this on Google and every forum I can find. I am now in the process of transferring all my monthly scripts to Optum Rx, mail order. Thanks for nothing. Edward **

I recently took a paper prescription in (narcotics can't be transmitted by the doctor's office, or so they tell me) and got a call a few hours later telling me they were temporarily out of that med. Fine, no big deal, I said because I still had a few pills from my last script. A few days later, I still hadn't heard anything so I gave Walgreens a call back to see what the deal was. The person I initially spoke to put the pharmacy manager on the phone and he told me they didn't know anything about a written prescription and that they wouldn't have kept that on file. You're going to first tell me you're out of the meds, lose (or someone stole) my prescription and then basically tell me tough luck?!? I called my doctor right then and there so they could handle it and make sure the written prescription was never allowed to be filled. I never found out what happened to the written script but luckily, no one was able to use it. That was my last time ever using Walgreens.

Consistently refuses to keep my son's medication in stock. This last time, they had the prescription for more than 2 weeks and still had not ordered it. Was told they would order when they order it, but that they don’t control what the truck brings. By now my doctor had sent the prescription over 2x. This is a prescription that my son has to have filled and has been on for almost 2 years so it’s not like it’s new and they weren’t aware.

The staff does not know how to process medical supplies thru Medicare. We actually had to have a Medicare rep call the pharmacy and walk them thru it last month. Well guess what, this month the same problem happened again where they said Medicare denied it. With all of this frustration, this is the last, very last straw with Walgreens Pharmacy. I have sent letters to corporate, spoken with store manager and the Pharmacist directly and we continue to have issues. There is something wrong there, don’t know exactly what but we are done with it. Also, they could have told us on Friday that it was denied so we could have called Medicare then instead of us having to find out on a Saturday, which means Walgreens does nothing till Monday. Well guess what Walgreens, Medicare is open on Saturday on the general customer services number I found on Google. You couldn’t even try to reach them for us. Laziness is also your issue. Bye.

I have also been experiencing lost prescription and the doctor shows me they were on the list sent to pharmacy.

The last time picking up a prescription, I had to pay because the technician did not know how to bill straight Medi-Cal. He kept saying the system wanted him to bill another provider, which we had not enrolled in yet. He told me that I had to call Medi-Cal myself and find out what the issue was and “when the snag is cleared up, you can bring in the receipt, we can resubmit the charge to the insurance and we will issue a refund.” He said nothing about any time limits. This was on July 12. I spoke to a Medi-Cal rep on July 29, who informed me there is no problem and we should not have been charged. I returned to Walgreens on July 30 to be informed by a different technician who tells me “sorry, we do not issue refunds past 7 days”. How is it that the store has one policy, but the pharmacy has a different one. And it is not posted anywhere.
The previous month, yet another tech was able to bill Medi-Cal properly and I was not charged. This time, I am penalized due to no fault of mine, but their incompetence. And are expecting me to do all of the leg work: call Medi-Cal, request reimbursement, file forms, make copies and wait for the state to send me refund check, when all they have to do is type a few keys on a computer. Its not as if I want to return something, just refund money that I never should have had to pay in the first place.

I have been a customer of Walgreens Pharmacy for a long time. Recently I have been receiving calls about their Save A Trip Program. First what upsets me is they use my own Walgreens phone number even though this is a call from a call center in Florida. Each time I have received this call I have told them I DO NOT WANT THIS SERVICE. Today I received a call again with my Walgreens phone number on the caller ID but the call is coming from a call center. The person on the phone would not take no for an answer. He kept telling me I obviously didn’t under the service and continued on his sales pitch until I hung up on him. This the problem: If I block this call on my phone it blocks my pharmacy from being able to call me.
Second I had a stranger selling a Walgreens Program that had all my personal information including all my prescriptions! I am so uncomfortable about this. I am getting a new pharmacy today. I think this a very deceptive act on behalf of Walgreens. If I want another service from Walgreens I will do it in person at my own pharmacy. I have used this particular pharmacy located in Dallas Texas and have been so very happy with the high quality of respect and care I receive from them. What is sad is I have to move all my prescriptions to another chain of drug stores because it is more important to you “Walgreens “ to hire a staff of aggressive sales people, misrepresent the location you are calling from, and won’t take no for an answer.

Several weeks ago I called Walgreens to report an issue regarding a Walgreens branded product that didn't perform to expectations. I was referred to the manufacturer. It had been several weeks and I hadn't heard anything from the manufacturer; when I called them to check on the status of my report, they said that refunds needed to come from Walgreens. So, I called Walgreens customer service department again and explained the situation. This time I didn't get the runaround and was pleasantly surprised when the representative promptly and cheerfully "deposited points" into my rewards account, enough points to cover the cost of the branded product that did not meet my expectations.
The reason I've designated the experience as only "4-stars" instead of five is because although the experience speaking to the representative was very pleasant and I am happy to have received points, it's not a "100% satisfied" situation to me because of how the Walgreens rewards program currently works. My understanding is that now when points are built up, you can't use a whole lot of them in one transaction; points seem to work more like coupons now where perhaps the most you can apply to a transaction is maybe only $5.00. If $5.00 is the maximum that can be redeemed in a single transaction, that wouldn't be enough to even cover the replacement cost of the unsatisfactory product in the Walgreens brand, much less to purchase a name brand replacement.
Yes, they've awarded points to cover the cost spent for the unsatisfactory product (and even with extra points beyond -- for which I am grateful!) but it would be better to be able to just get a free replacement product and not have to pay sales tax twice (once on the original unsatisfactory item and again when it's a new sale for the replacement, but with points that work like a coupon). (Tax generally isn't collected on even exchanges.) If all the points received could be redeemed all at once, then that would be a five-star experience!

I have gone to Walgreens for years. It’s a busy location and there were always mistakes, but I stupidly stuck with them. One day the entire staff was replaced with different techs and pharmacists. The manager, J, told me it was her 1st time managing, and that was obvious. The older woman pharmacist, G. ran all over her. She argued everything- not only with me but I observed it more times than I could count. I always had to ask her to stop interrupting me because I couldn’t finish the question. G also informed that what the doctor said didn’t matter, she overruled all doctors.
Another issue was shortages. I was short of heart medication and potassium. It was one each, twice with the potassium. Then I was short a controlled substance by 5 pills. I always open them in front of family members and count because they too have issues with shortages. I knew there was no way I could prove I was short that many but called and asked if they could at least check inventory, and see if another prescription was filled when mine was since it was near a holiday and even more chaotic. I was told in the past a recount takes an hour. The tech asked me to bring the bottle back, which I did. Six minutes later the abusive pharmacist G said they had already done a count, had circled the number on my bottle, I was wrong and could call the manager and walked away.
When the manager came in I called, told her what happened, said yet again I said I had no way of proving it but since I was going to have to let my doctor know because it affected my treatment I wanted to see what happened. J the manager said she would watch the tapes, and said her counts matched and she didn’t see the tech putting any in his pocket.
I told her the tech was always helpful, and I didn’t think he would steal, that either they were in someone else’s bottle or the floor. I did tell her I found G’s behavior odd, as I didn’t understand why she was so rude, I had made zero accusations and didn’t understand how she could have heard the whole situation, waited on other customers and done a recount in six minutes. J said they would do a recount at my next pickup for my medications in front of me, but didn’t know if G would be willing so I would have to wait until she was in. That’s crazy! I was resigned to switch after the holiday because this was not working.
Unfortunately my doctor’s office sent my last prescription to them as it was still in the system. I called to ask why it was sitting there, and the tech was rude, put G on the phone who said they would no longer fill any of my prescriptions and if I didn’t like it call J on Monday. I was floored - now I am wondering if someone did steal those pills. How do I know the counts matched, the manager watched the tape, etc. Here is where I find things legally cloudy. I called another Walgreens and she called the other one, said this didn’t come from corporate (who I had called twice about G and never received a call back), it was that store only. The last I talked to J, the manager, she said things would be checked on my next visit. Which means G is behind this, it would appear, since there is no one else. With missing controlled substance pills, my question is why? And no notification?

Walgreens is running a game on patients that frequent their pharmacies. The plan is called the Exclusive Smart90SM/Walgreens Program and for the laymen, also known as the Walgreens 90 day prescription program. It was initiated in 2009. Basically, it works like this: you purchase a ninety day supply of medications and the out of pocket cost or co-pay is higher than a thirty day fill. It must be a maintenance drug, i.e., pills that are necessary over an extended period of time. Patients are taken off maintenance medicines everyday by their doctors and switched over to another med. So if you’re at the thirty day mark, you are stuck with sixty pills. So, the patient has already paid the co-pay, if not the entire cost, if he or she has no insurance. Walgreens pharmacy already has their money as does the drug manufacturer. The patient has no recourse.
Walgreens website states about returning drugs: “By law, we cannot accept returns of prescription products for reuse or resale.” Sixty wasted pills, why not find a way to redistribute them? Or refund the patient. At my Walgreens pharmacy, they really push the ninety day program. Innumerable texts, telephone calls and the pharmacist more than willing to speak to you about it.

Inventory management is very bad: they often don't have drugs in stock. They say they need to place an order, expecting customer to return the next day to pick it up. What is the point of a pharmacy -- you go to them with a prescription and they should have it. This has happened with 3 different drugs -- so not unusual for Walgreens. More importantly, drug quality cannot be relied upon. Walgreens does not ensure quality medications.
Twice have been given medicine that was COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE. One was a pain killer after surgery, for which I even filed a formal FDA complaint. This was supposed to be a strong pain killer, and I have a low tolerance for drugs, so I was very surprised when the dosage did absolutely nothing. Then I took a second pill, which I never need to do. NO EFFECT. That's when I contacted FDA and gave them all the data (because there are problems in general with controlled substances being intercepted by people who are stealing the drugs and replacing with fakes, so I thought it important that FDA be made aware that Walgreens was selling something that was obviously fake). When I told Walgreens about the issue, they had no interest, even when I told them that FDA had been formally notified. Walgreens couldn't care less and probably continued to sell that drug.
Second was a generic version of **. Completely ineffective. I had been using CVS pharmacy for years for this drug, so I was very familiar with how effective it should be. Only when I switched to Walgreens did the generic stop being effective. Discovered that Walgreens uses a different generic supplier than CVS -- and apparently this supplier is providing a terrible version. They could use a better supplier (the one CVS uses) but Walgreens apparently doesn't care about efficacy as much as they do about their profit margins.
Had my doctor prescribe brand name, then Walgreens doesn't have it and has to special order it. What?! It's a common medicine. Pharmacist says, "Well, we only have 1 patient that uses this, so we only order enough for that 1 person." That's absurd for a large pharmacy. I ended up switching back to CVS. (I thought their service wasn't good because they're so busy, but at least their drugs actually work as intended). Walgreens has quality control problems!

Walgreens final complaint. Initial call to Walgreens was at 10:18 PM to refill ** (90 day supply). I was on hold for 2 hours 14 minutes. Second call at 1:24 AM, spoke to Gina, explained the situation and that I still needed to reach the pharmacy. She said she would put me on hold and page the pharmacist to pickup. He did in < 2 minutes. The pharmacist on duty refused to give me his name. I asked 3 times. I then asked if he was refusing to give me his name and he said to me (2-3 times), “You can call me Doctor.” I told the Doctor how long I was on hold and he angrily told me he didn’t put anyone on hold. “I was at the register all night dealing with customers.”
Personally, I was afraid of pursuing the matter, lest he refuse me my prescription. After taking the prescription information, the Doctor went on to berate me about getting the Walgreens app. “You need to get the app.” He said I should get a smart phone. I told him I have one and his response was, “Any blind person can use a smart phone.” During the whole interaction this Doctor was extremely rude and antagonistic towards me.
Walgreens, you are the same corporate pharmacy, along with a PCP that screwed up my insulin prescriptions, in 2014-2015. The result was a trip to urgent care and then the ER, suffering a mini stroke (TIA) and blood sugars over 500. My memory and cognitive abilities suffered during that time and I believe I still struggle because of the TIA. But, I believe the culprit was this same “Mr. DOCTOR”, located at a different Walgreens. I would go to the pharmacist explaining I kept running out of insulin. He insisted nothing had changed in my prescription over time and I, the patient, was doing something wrong. “No, Walgreens and the PCP were not on the same page.” That pharmacist was usually distressed, angry and rude to me and others.
My third call was at 1:31 AM to speak with a store manager to make a complaint. Again, Gina responded and said she was the manager for the night. She was very polite, caring and represented Walgreens professionally. She gave me the pharmacist first name, Curtis. Gina agreed to speak with him and leave a message for the day manager to call me.

They will argue with you until you force them to pull the paper script then they fix it.. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH MEDS and really that many in less than a year for my family alone... and then argue with you when they have a history of this. This is people's health they are dealing with. How do we get this fixed?

I had my physician send a new Rx to my preferred Walgreens pharmacy, I have used their services for more than a year without issue prior to this occurrence. The Rx was not in stock and was needed to be ordered. I was informed on Wednesday that the Rx would be processed for ordering, I explained that I would pay cash price for the Rx.
I called the pharmacy on Thursday to check the status and was informed at that time that the Rx had not been ordered because the pharmacist had not yet cleared it. I was promised that an “additional” order would be placed for the Rx to prevent any further delay in getting the Rx in a timely manner. On Friday, I went into the pharmacy after being placed on a non ending hold by phone. I was informed that the Rx would be $200+ and I made it very clear that I was going to pay full price, no insurance. Then the pharmacy tech and pharmacist proceed to tell me that the Rx is out of stock and ask would I like them to order it.
AN ORDER WAS NEVER PLACED PRIOR! I have hypothyroidism and certain formulations of my Rx require frequent adjustment and generic Rx do not work for my condition. To find out that a medically necessary prescription is being delayed on behalf of the negligence of the staff is extremely disappointing. For this reason I am filing a complaint. All I asked for was sufficient communication and in return I was lied to and now have to find another pharmacy with more competent staff.

Walgreens' pharmacists kept telling me my prescriptions had been denied by my doctor which was a categorical lie. In addition, they kept trying to change my prescriptions, in particular, the dosages. It happened once, and I gave them a break. Then, it kept happening, so I transferred all my prescriptions elsewhere. Problem solved. There are big problems with this company.

I was going out of town for a month so I asked my doctor to fill my prescriptions ahead of time so I wouldn't run out on my trip. He did, Walgreens got them, but one was going to renew before I left, so the person I spoke to told me to just wait until then to get it. I did. When I stopped at the Pharmacy on Saturday, they said give them a minute, so I cooled my heels at Target, went back 30 minutes later, and was told that I could get my prescription until next Wednesday.
When I explained what had happened, the pharmacy said, "I'll have to document your trip and it wasn't me who told you that." I said, it was your representative....way to go Sara ** in Omaha! What a non-professional. I felt like I was some kind of a criminal, instead of a taxpayer who has been shopping there for 20 years. Way to represent your team too!! NOT!! Very rude!

My Dr sent over my prescription on Fri. And I got a text saying it was on hold. I checked my status online and it said they didn’t have my insurance info so I thought it was a weekend thing and wouldn’t be able to get my script done till Monday. When I checked on Monday my status was the same, so I called and asked them about my insurance because they should have it on file. The person was cold and rude and said I had to wait till after 6 pm to get my prescription because they weren’t my preferred pharmacy on my insurance.
I asked her why no one let me know the prescription is available after 6 pm? It doesn’t make sense if a company has all these tools to make things easier they don’t have one that says, ‘pick up is after 6 pm’ instead of ‘your prescription is on hold’. I could have picked it up on Friday after 6 pm instead of Monday when I was feeling completely sick by then. It is as if they have forgotten they are supposed to be helping sick people and their compassion has been burned out. They shouldn’t be in this business.

Enough is enough! I placed an online order on April 1, 2019 and only half of my order has been fulfilled. Multiple calls to customer service later, and I only keep getting the same generic answer that the distribution center is experiencing delays. You are a public company and have certain responsibilities to your customers and shareholders. I smell a class action lawsuit coming your way if you don't provide sufficient communication soon and work to resolve all these issues!
Check out the most recent reviews here documenting the same issue, as well as comments on their Facebook page and tweets to their social care team on Twitter (@WAGSocialCare). They inexcusably have not empowered their social care team to be helpful, nor their customer service agents. No updates, no order fulfillments, no apologies. And yet Walgreens thinks it can somehow successfully implement the Narvar Concierge online package pickup and return platform at its stores though it can't manage its own business to consumer delivery model? Think again – Narvar, you should run away while you can.

I’m out of 10 of my medications for days now due to Walgreens refusing to switch my medications to Publix. The past 15 years I have been out of medicine constantly sometimes more than a month because I believe in loyalty. Enough is enough and I had my profile sent to Publix Pharmacy but they sent 5 medications instead of the 16 I take. I didn’t have a refill so the doctor has to do that. But 10 medications that are due for me to take 4 days ago and I’m out of, they refuse to send. I’m getting the Walgreens messages to refill the medicine. I don’t want to use them and they cannot make anyone stay a customer by refusing to send your profile. This Walgreens in Douglasville, Ga on highway 5 is ridiculous and should be closed down immediately. They have constant complaints and people are always leaving the store in a rage. They make it hard by holding important medications that are needed to make you stay with them.

I have purchased several supplements from Walgreens for a few years (ever since they absorbed Drugstore.com). Most orders had been coming in 1-2 days. However, this most recent order (April 21st) has gone nowhere. I called Customer Service and when I finally got through, the phone line went dead. It's annoying enough to call most customer service numbers, so the dead line makes it worse. In reading other reviews, I see folks have had little success in canceling "pending" orders.

Unfortunately, this is my last hurrah with Walgreens. The online orders have been broken since March 27, 2019 (per a customer service supervisor). I placed my order April 13, 2019, and have only received 1/2 of the order. The ETA is sometime between now and infinity for the rest of the order. No one cares there. Spoke with Corporate Consumer Complaints and got the same story... "It's out of our control and we're working as fast as we can but have no idea when it will be fixed or when you'll get the remainder of your order." Apparently, management doesn't have the right people involved to implement a new warehouse fulfillment system and they don't have the right people to fix it either.

So, I'm transferring my prescriptions and will never step foot in another Walgreens again.

Walgreens.com has turned into a joke of an online retailer (this review does not reflect on the local Duane Reade stores, which are run efficiently as always). For the entire month of April they've had unprecedented delays in order fulfillment and shipping. A customer service rep actually told me that he himself ordered something April 5 and it was delivered April 16. My order of April 15 was still "in progress" as of April 23, at which point I cancelled it (and went to Walmart.com, which delivered my items in exactly 2 days). It took two phone calls and 3 emails to track down what the heck is going on with their distribution. And after cancelling my order, I received confirmation one day later without a word or hint of an apology.
Apparently, the moronic execs at Walgreens.com think it's perfectly natural to wait for over 2 weeks to receive the items you ordered and paid for. Does anyone remember Drugstore.com? They were my favorite, I would always receive my order within two days. Walgreens bought them out (I have no idea why and how) and now it's faster to get your items delivered from China!

On April 23, 2019 I went to Walgreens on Franz Road. I used the drive through and had to wait thirty minutes or more to get to the line. I gave my discount card for one medication and was charged the full amount. I just had surgery and was in pain, but they insisted that I go to the back of the line. I refused since I had waited so long. They called the police. I am not sure if they were going to arrest me or tow my car. It would be harmful to me to have to wait an hour or more since they had such a poor management plan. This location refused to accept my points and always says to use them next time. The culture at this store is poor at best.
My bank card would not go through even though I have excellent credit and pay my total bill each month. I called Bank of America and they said it was declined because the card was run incorrectly by Walgreens and the company has a high rate of FRAUD.

I am a hospital pharmacist. I admit that I haven't worked retail in 25 years, but Erik the pharmacist that filled my husband’s prescription last week was obstinate and unreasonable. My husband had surgery last week and they prescribed 12 pain pills that did not last very long at 1-2 tabs q4h prn. The surgeon had told us he would call us the next day to check on us, but didn't. We messaged him on Friday to call us and he didn't, so on a Saturday we were forced to call the on call person because he was in such excruciating pain. We needed to get something for the him.
All the providers have EPIC and quite clearly can see everything my husband is on when sending the e-prescription to Walgreens (not our regular pharmacy but since it was a weekend we were forced to suffer through this) but Erik refuse to override an interaction about something for the insurance to bill saying his license was on the line and he wouldn't override the insurance billing interaction (multiple sedating medications) because you could overdose on the stuff! 15 tablets of ** with 12 previously filled 3 days before postop. Really?! So he tried to call the provider, but couldn't get through and he was going to lunch soon, so he kept saying I should pay cash and take away the prescription now without counseling because since he was so worried about the interaction who cares if I paid for the Rx with cash (which was supposed to be entirely covered by insurance no charge) so he would have no liability????
But once the insurance was billed I could come back to get a credit the next day if I returned within 7 days. Clearly this was a scam to pay cash nearly $20 for something that I shouldn't have to pay for through insurance and bill the insurance at the same time. Because I called the insurance and they said it was billed for and why did they charge me $20. When I hauled myself in there the next day to get my credit, both cash and insurance receipts were dated and timed 4/6/19 @ 1:07.
I think it was a scam to get me to pay cash and get the insurance to pay whatever amount they pay and hope I wouldn't take the time to get my refund. It was an unnecessary ordeal when my husband was in severe postop pain and it required me to come in to the pharmacy twice. I almost asked to see if I could fill this elsewhere like OHSU since they have more experienced pharmacists that probably don't get bonuses for profit sharing like Walgreens does. I will never go there again. I would rather ride my bike 3x as far to avoid dealing with a new grad who has a grudge against people that need pain medication.

When I reached an individual and explained my issue, I was placed on hold several minutes, with the phone ringing again and placing me on hold. I hung up and went back to the store, highly upset. Had I been told verbally and made aware of the changes with their manufacturer, I would not have purchase the prescription which looks nothing like my original medication. I was told they don't take back return prescriptions. And I could not receive a credit or refund.

You can call & actually get through to be added to a daily list when you're ready to fill. When the scripts are ready, they text you.
Simple! At Walgreens you can only do 1 month at a time. EVERY SINGLE DETAIL has to be separately added EACH time they access you at the register. The place looked like a mess. It took 2 1/2 hours to fill a script! If Walgreens wants to be efficient & make more money, they need to look at how CVS Pharmacy treats their customers! CVS has an amazing system that is super efficient & doesn't keep you waiting forever like Walgreens!
