    On 3/5/15 I ordered (by phone) 4 scripts. A recording said they would ready after 10:00 am on 3/6/15. Three of four were. Walmart on 100 Stumer Rd said it would be an hour for the med to be filled. Mail had not been unpacked. I told the tech that I could not wait, as I had to return to work. I ask if I could pick it up at the Walmart on LaCrosse St. She said yes. I ask... that is it? Just show up? She said yes.

    On LaCrosse I stopped by the Drop Off. Tech said it will be 30. I shopped while I waited. I returned 30 mins later. Script was filled. But, now I was told that they had to check with my insurance. I ask for my insurance card back as I had to return to work. I will pick those meds up in the morning, but will not use either Pharmacy again. I understand this is a high stress job. So is mine. Techs seem overworked and short fused. I am not an interruption of their work.

    I am very frustrated with pharmacists Jeff and Lance at the North Belt Walmart in St. Joseph, Missouri. I have had a hard time sleeping since my hysterectomy and have a script for 20 ** for every 30 days from my doctor. These two pharmacists are acting like they wrote the script for me and give me reasons why I can only get 16 of my pills instead of 20. First they told me that insurance will only let me get 16 not 20. Then they calculated and said I could only get 16 per month instead of 20.

    I was told to call the pharmacy on march 3 to get my 4 additional pills which they did not include in my last order. I called and they again are messing with my prescription. I was told I could not get it filled that I could call back tomorrow!!! I have a dr's prescription!!!! I think they let these jobs go to their head!! Apparently they have gotten away with this and I am going to do something about it.

    Old Hammond hwy pharmacy - I had surgery today in Baton Rouge and was in excruciating pain. I dropped my prescription off and asked if they could please fill as quickly as possible due to my pain level, as well as the fact that I live 2 hours from here. I gave tech my drivers license with all info necessary. At approx 3:05 pm, she said it should be ready no later than 4:00 pm.

    At 3:50 we got back in line. While in drive thru line, the pharmacy called me and said they had the wrong birthdate, in which they had handwritten in themselves. When I got to window, I asked how did they get wrong birthdate from my license, and the tech proceeded to scream at me and told me not to talk to her like I was her child. I proceeded to tell her that they made the mistake with birthdate, and she said that we would have to wait about another hour and a half now so they could process the right birthdate!

    The manager from pharmacy also came to window. I think not fully understanding what happened, she thought that the birthdate was on Rx already, she was very rude as well! I have had to suffer for almost 3 hours over this matter! This is unacceptable! And I will never recommend anyone to this pharmacy, and I am a registered nurse and refer many patients to your pharmacy in the town I'm from! Never again and while sitting!

    I have been having problems where I have called walmart ahead of time to see when my prescription will be ready and they give me a time then when I arrive to pick it up at that time it's never ready. On March 2nd my doctor called in a prescription because I had a sinus infection. I in turn called Walmart and they informed me that it should be ready by 3:30.

    I arrived at the store at 4:30 and the lady told me they were late filing. It would be another 30 to 40 min after. They told me 3:30. I was not feeling well and I informed the pharmacist when I called. So dissatisfied with the service of this pharmacy that I have been coming to for years. I will be switching to another pharmacy because of the poor service that I have continued to receive!! Well I waited for 35 minutes and was then told that they need to contact the pharmacist because it shows I'm allergic to the medicine, mind you I'm not allergic to anything. I was never told this and most importantly why didn't they contact my doctor when I first called at 2:34. I wouldn't refer anyone to this pharmacy!!

    Went to the drive thru to pick up prescriptions, rang bell, waited some. Finally came to answer, was told they had a line inside and I would have to wait. 12 minutes later rang again, told "have line-- you have to wait," very rude. If the pharmacy drive thru can't handle the inside and outside why bother to have it open?

    Turned in Rx 6 days ago. No pills in stock. Won't have Pills for 6 days. Went to pick them up 2-26-15 and there was a line with approx. 15-20 people in it. 6 people behind counter and ONLY 1 checker. Waited over 1 1/2 hours in line. Pharmacist very rude. People behind counter not doing anything. Checker very rude. This is not the first time for being rude too or having to wait over an hour due to only 1 checker. I was looking at the NON working people behind counter and pharmacist looked and me and said, rudely, "WHAT?" I told him that I didn't hear anyone call his name. This is ridiculous!!!

    It has been this way for some time now, but today I was so mad and that is the reason I finally decided to write to you. Piss poor uncaring service. Something needs to be done. I am a nurse and do you think we would get by with treating our patients this way??? Hell no!!!!! So.... What are you going to do about it????

    Dixie Highway Louisville Ky - I've been getting my blood pressure medication filled here for about a year (the same medication). Each time I've paid $6.00 for 90 pills. The past couple months it's been like pulling teeth to get my prescription filled in full. Yesterday I went to pick up my prescription,(which was supposed to be filled last month for 3 months worth, but they only gave me 1 month and told me it would be automatically filled for the following 2 months in 30 days) it wasn't filled, and they advised me the 261 pills remaining in the prescription would be $208. When I asked why such a price difference the pharmacist says "well yeah I see you've paid $6.00 for 90 pills in the past but this is the price for 261 pills." I then asked how much for 90 and he said $78.00. It's ridiculous. So I went down the street to Kroger, had them transfer my prescription and paid $18.00 for 261 pills. I will NEVER use Walmart pharmacy again.

    Brought prescription in hand, at first they tried to say I didn't have a prescription. Then they said the prescription was for only 90 pills when the prescription was written for 180. Then finally admitted they had entered it wrong from the prescription... It was suppose to be 180. This same thing has happened 3 times before. This is final straw...switched all 6 prescriptions to Publix Pharmacy.

    Walmart Pharmacy Fordyce, AR. Walmart didn't have enough of the med to fill my prescription so they gave me just 6 tabs (3 days worth.) They expected more that didn't come but 3 days later they had 4 more tabs. I got them but they put down that I got 6 and took away one future refill. Now I'm down to 1 tab. I called but now I'm no longer in their system. The pharmacist was supposed to call me back but never did. Finally I called my Dr. and had her call a new prescription to a different pharmacy.

    My son gave all the information he could to get our dog's insulin. The person waiting on him told him we had never NEVER picked up this insulin for our dog. He stated we have for years but it was not a prescription. He called me and I gave him the same information and she actually told him she was going to wait on others because he didn't have a prescription on file for the dog. He told her again it had been a prescription at one time but was not at this time. She went back to the computer and found a record and gave him the insulin.

    I called to ask if it would be better to have the prescription on file and was told no by the manager. I explained that my son was treated poorly and I wanted to avoid this happening. He stated that the tech was one of his best and defended her. Pleaaseee she'll move on to another job as soon as she can and we will still be an unsatisfied customer.

They do not have no reason why or when they would get it in. They are not nice at all. They are inconsiderate of customers' needs. They have no organization because each one had a different answer. Then they refused to fill a prescription that was needed for my 6 month old child.

    Monday, February 9th, 2015 I called in for a refill of a medication and the pharmacy informed me there were any refills left. I was totally out and it was after Physician hours, so I asked what I could do. They told me to come in for an emergency fill. I went in and waited 25 minutes to receive a few pills. Before leaving I asked what the next steps would be, to insure I receive the medication, and they told me they were going to notify the physician's office. Thursday, February 12th, I called the pharmacy to ask if the prescription was ready and I was told the physician's office hadn't sent anything over.

    I called the physician's office and they said that Walmart hadn't sent over a request. I called the pharmacy back and relayed the information and asked them to call the office. A half hour later I called the office and they said no one had called. I called Walmart back and a woman said she would call the office. I called the office back at 4:45pm and asked if they received a call and she said she had just received it and that the Dr. would have to approve it and if there was a problem she would notify me and otherwise just call the pharmacy.

    I called the pharmacy at 7:10, to find out there is no prescription for me. I asked the pharmacist what I could do, reminding him I was totally out. He told me I would have to get the office to call. I reminded him what had happened and that I thought the pharmacy had dropped the ball several times. He said get the office to call.

    Eight phone calls were made and the prescription is still not ready. Had I known the pharmacy wasn't going to notify my physician Tuesday, I would have called and I wouldn't be without my medication tonight.

    Thirty days before my daughter gave birth, we filled a prescription at our local Wal-Mart (Jacksonville , Il.) from her OB/GYN. The prescription was for ** 25mg. but she was given ** .25mg. Her nursing staff at a local nursing home where she is employed and myself questioned it, but agreed he could have been lowering her heart rate in order to help her sleep (which is what the script was for). When we arrived at the hospital, the Doctor wanted to see her medications. At that point he became very upset, stated he never prescribed ** and would never have prescribed. He stated he would call and visit the local store to look into the matter.

    During the 30 hours of labor, which was very difficult on both my daughter and the baby, my daughter had to have several additional IV solutions due to what the Dr. ** stated, was caused or could have been caused by the prescription change. On the day my daughter delivered, a rep. from the Jacksonville Wal-Mart called her asking how she was doing. I took the phone and explained that it was very poor timing for the call, and we would follow up. She also stated that this case had been sent to the corporate level for review.

    When my daughter was released from the hospital she was prescribed ** 200 mg. to attempt to control her high blood pressure. Much to my surprise (not really) another problem on the dosage given on the bottle (I did secure pictures of the bottle before the pharmacy staff tried to remove the label). I realize Wal-Mart has created a monopoly on pricing, but care and quality service on your part has really suffered. I just recently retired from the Morgan County Coroners Office after 33 years, but after all these recent problems have suggested all deaths investigate medications and dosage given to rule out possible overdoses or deaths by wrong medications given. I will be the contact person for further review for my daughter and look forward to your correspondence. I will not click on the box for an attorney contact, yet.

    On Tuesday February 10, 2015 I went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription refill I had called in approx. 2 weeks before. I live near Seward, but in a different town. This was the first time I was able to pick up. I arrived at 1: 27 pm. The tradition of this pharmacy is to close at 1:30 for lunch. The woman who was to help me, told me she couldn't find my prescription. Later she said, they put it back on the shelf. And then at 1:29 pm she said and I quote: "This door is supposed to be shut at 1:30" and then shut it while saying "we will look into it in 30 minutes". She shut the door before we had finished talking. I spoke through the door and said, "Don't bother. I probably won't be back." This follows another time a month or so ago when I picked up a different prescription.

    The people in this pharmacy who interact with the public are very rude and are not the kind of people Wal-Mart would want to be representing them. One more thing: there are several people manning this pharmacy, why do they have to close for a period of time? Couldn't they go to lunch in shifts and still serve their customers? This is just one more example of how business no longer puts the customers first.

    I've been shopping and doing business at Walmart for years and have slowly seen the decline of service at this chain store. I just returned home from a visit to the pharmacy at Walmart in Thomasville Georgia and am so disgusted at the way I was treated - I have pulled not only my prescriptions, but my entire families. I was flat out denied service by their pharmacy when I requested a single box of **, despite them knowing who I am, where I live, and having filled my prescriptions for years. This pharmacist was rude, and treated me like a criminal giving me the 5th degree, and playing 20 questions. I have never been treated like this while simply trying to get a simple sinus medicine to treat a sinus headache. I've had problems with this particular pharmacist before over filling medications in the past as well, despite having a doctor’s prescription.

    This lady enjoys playing God and getting all high and mighty and seems to take pleasure in denying service to those who are not of the same ethnicity, especially in front of coworkers and other customers. I have filed a complaint with both the store manager and the corporate office and intend to consult my lawyer as well. The clincher was not even 10 mins later I had the ** from another pharmacy by simply producing my identification. I will never return to Walmart again and they have lost a long time paying customer for life.

    Today which is February 2, 2015 I called my Walmart pharmacy to let them know that the high blood pressure pills they refilled for me on Monday were the old pills. Well when I talked to the pharmacist to tell him I needed my new prescription of blood pressure pills, that they had refilled the old pills. He went to tell me this was the only high blood pressure pill they had on my records. I told him how when I had been getting my new pills since August 2014. He proceeded to tell me they only had a record of my old high blood pressure pills.

    I needed to get a prescription filled today. It's a narcotic pain reliever. Lately Walgreens has been awful about getting these filled. Taking an hour and a half, researching your Rx history, then after waiting telling you they don't feel comfortable doing it and refusing to fill even though you have a Rx from a surgeon. Well today I used Wal-mart Pharmacy in Pascagoula, MS. It took about 45 minutes and was completely hassle free. I even got with the pharmacist and discussed my history (4 back surgeries, the latest 1 moth ago), and the fact that I have been on pain meds for about 4 years.

    All that being said, the pharmacist was incredibly helpful, understanding and nice. I was quite surprised. She even tried to convince me to have all my prescriptions moved there. Anyway, good job Wal-mart pharmacist in Pascagoula.

    I have type 1 diabetes. I used Wal-Mart pharmacy for about four years with no problems. However in the past year, I have purchased three worthless bottles of insulin. I ignored the first one. They replaced the second one without a problem. However I bought a third bad bottle on 12/31/14 and began using it a few days ago. I discovered it was not lowering my BG. I took it back and they said there was nothing wrong with the way they handle the insulin and it must be the manufacturer. They offered to sell me another bottle at full price or try to get my insurance company to approve a new one. I explained I didn't want another bad bottle and I would be going elsewhere, which I did. I had to pay full price because my insurance company would not authorize a new bottle unless I went back to Wal-Mart, but since I'm not ready to die, I just paid the money.

    The new insulin is working fine but please be careful if you use insulin from Wal-Mart because they will not even acknowledge the possibility that they are handling it wrong and might be making it go bad. I guess they don't care about people's health or life. The pharmacy is the one on Germantown Parkway in Cordova, Tennessee.

    I only go to Walmart to fill my dogs diabetes syringes and to buy the ** insulin which is cheapest here. My dog was diagnosed with diabetes in May after suffering shock and when taking her to the vet her blood glucose was 600! Anyway ever since I've been going to Walmart once a month to get the insulin and needles. I put in the script for the needles the first time and got the Insulin just fine. Every other month I have to drive all the way there after they told me my refill was ready. When arriving and waiting seemingly forever, the needles are never in stock and even the insulin has been out!

    Each time I shout and say why can't you inform me? They have my number on file so maybe a heads up? Maybe they shouldn't tell me the refill is ready! How can Walmart be out of stock of insulin on so many occasions? Diabetes for anyone who has it, knows it's a very horrible illness that can result in shock and even death without proper insulin intake. I expressed this to the cashier and she just didn't care. Told me to find another Walmart to go to. Find another Walmart to go to? Why? This Walmart already is the closest at 10 miles away! The other is 16! People can die from this. Walmart sucks!!!! I actually hate them for being so inconsiderate of people's health because this seems to be a recurring thing.

    I have never seen a more confused, poorly trained, ill mannered staff behind the desk of a pharmacy in my entire life. It was the only reason I would step into a store like this.....and it is definitely not reason enough. Wal-mart, it gives me no small pleasure to part with you. I was hesitant to try this pharmacy in the first place and when I first walked into the store, I couldn't help but laugh as it was immediately evident that the rumors and folklore about Walmart are actually quite true. What I was not prepared for, is that the rumors extend to include the staff. Even the pharmacist in charge could no more explain the stores' mistake beyond blurting out over and over again "well that's what it says in the computer." When he said it a third time, I began to understand what I was dealing with. What is truly upsetting is that the people who can least afford it are clearly getting less than ideal help regarding their health and the medications which they need. I can go elsewhere and have options, but not everyone does and for those people, I truly feel terrible.

    I turned in two prescriptions at the Boiling Springs, SC Walmart pharmacy. When they were ready, I paid for them and left the store. I got to my car and opened the bag (stapled shut) to find two prescriptions missing. One was a narcotic painkiller. Upon questioning the pharmacist about it, he said he would review the security video. He did so and informed me that the video clearly shows me leaving with the prescription bag. Well yes, I did leave with the prescription "bag". What the video doesn't show is the contents (or missing contents) of the bag. So now, due to people who abuse these drugs, I have to go a month without my pain medications because nobody is allowed to replace the prescription stolen by a Walmart pharmacy tech.

When I asked them why I wasn't informed about this when they gave me a partial, all I got was a “Sorry Ma’am.” After the second issue of out of stock meds I ask them if this is going to be a regular issue and they assure me that they were just adjusting to the new laws.

    Every month I get my prescriptions refilled. Most of the time the wait to get our prescriptions filled is so long that even after shopping for an hour it is not filled. Other times I will go pick up my prescriptions only to be told that one is not ready, it needs prior authorization or that it is out of stock. What ever happened to a text or a phone call? Now, I call my prescription refills in and have to wait 24 hours for them to be refilled. This is totally insane. I also have to call the pharmacy to find out if my prescriptions are ready or not even though they have the new text feature that I signed up for. Now the one prescription is ready but the other one is out of stock and I have until Tuesday to get it filled. I was not offered another alternative to pick it up at another local store. I am totally done with Wal-mart pharmacy. Their business over the last 5 years has gone down hill, they are very slow and hardly ever have anything ready. Thus as a consequence I have had to make 2 trips back and forth from home to Wal-mart. I stuck it out until December, now I will take my business else where.

    It never fails that on Friday afternoons or after 4 p.m. any day of the week when you go to Wal Mart's pharmacy, there is only one cashier and between 8 and 14 customers in line waiting. According to the pharmacy employees, most go home at 4 p.m. and leave a skeleton crew to handle the rest. Yes, the prices are beyond fantastic but the service is horrible. Why is it possible for Wal Mart to hire cashiers to run the checkout registers but they cannot keep clerks in the pharmacy? This is in dire need of correction.

I called Walmart, and they said they hadn't heard from the doctor.

    This happens all the time! Why? Does the doctor's office drop the ball, or Walmart? It's got to be Walmart. My doctor has nothing to gain by ignoring refill requests, whereas Walmart couldn't care less if they refill my order. They are rude and understaffed. I will move my meds over to Walgreen's.

They are not welcoming - their attitudes are "well, what do you want". They are very slow and unresponsive. If we try to discuss medication interactions and have questions, they are dismissed with a "look, this is the answer, now get lost" attitude.

I have complained to three pharmacists about this problem, but they do not care. The associates all seem terribly depressed, do not display any positive customer service skills whatsoever, and continue to mess up prescriptions to the point that I have had to ask my physician to do paper refills instead of digital so I can make a copy and take them in to hand to an associate personally.

    I'm tired of calling in prescriptions and if out of refills they say to give them one business day to get a hold of doctor. Then you give them 2 days or sometimes 3 and they still don't have it. If they don't want to do this then they should not say they will. Gas is not cheap to keep running back to get them. And I'm real sure if they would look at computer it's all ready has new refill because my others do and they always call all of my prescriptions in at same time. It's getting very old. I'm not the only one I've heard complain about this store!! Walmart needs to look into this pharmacy. WILMINGTON OHIO 45177. Thanks.

    My Dr called in a prescription at 5pm, came to pick it up and they said they had just received 5 mins before they closed so they wouldn't be able to process it. Which is a lie because I know the Dr put it in 2.5 hours before they closed! They were eye drops for my 2 year old and they wouldn't do it even though they were helping other people, then try and tell me they are closed!

    I recently filled a prescription for my pain medication (60 pills) four days ago. I had received a larger size bottle which looked a little on the empty side, but I just wrote it off to it being a bigger bottle. However, last night I counted my pills and realized that I had only 35 pills left. I know that there is no possible way that I have taken over 20 pills in that time frame. I know exactly how many I have taken. Which is 8 pills, since I only take 1 pill twice a day. Big difference. I called the pharmacy to see what could be done to correct this, but the pharmacy tech just kept saying all their counts were right and nothing could be done. I'm never taking my prescription to this or any other Wal-Mart pharmacy again.

    Your ignorant pharmacist does NOT know how to be sure to take care of pain management patients! Much of the time PAIN MANAGEMENT DR'S prescribe meds to work together to help MANAGE pain & unless you suffer from something that causes you pain (or in my case several diagnosed issues causing chronic SEVERE pain) & don't know what needs to be done when an insurance company says that a different med is a duplicate even though it's a totally different med and works differently with the central nervous system and in conjunction with that "duplicate" to at best improve the quality of someone's life they have NO business working in ANY pharmacy! Pharmacists are not Drs. and should know how to override the transaction! This is not the fault of the insurance company, they are merely an obstacle! She should be absolutely ashamed of herself and so should Wal-mart if they failed to teach this to the staff. In any case, they did NOTHING to try to resolve the issue - NOTHING! Not to mention they screwed up 3 other Rx's times in a matter of 4 days. I WILL NEVER USE THIS PHARMACY AGAIN.

    My doctor from Kansas called in a script for pain around 11 am to pharmacy in Oxnard, CA. The pharmacist on duty was Jane. I went an hour later and they turned me away saying that it was never called in. I left and within a few minutes this pharmacy called my Dr office wanting to know what my birth date was. My wife then called pharmacy back and Jane complained about being the only person working and again said she did not have it. Then got nasty with my wife and when terminating the call failed to hang up the phone. Continued being verbally nasty about my wife to co-workers in the background.

    Within 15 minutes I drove back to pharmacy and again they acted like they did not have it and another person behind the counter acted like it was too much of a bother to speak to me. I then went to the drop off window and another lady told me that the pharmacist just past the script over to her. Another 45 minutes of being seriously in pain went by sitting and watching the pharmacist sitting behind the counter moving at a snail's pace... She needs to lose her job. What is Walmart doing to correct these issues?

    I called Walmart Pharmacy in Tilton on 10-07-2014 to call in my insulin needle prescription renewal. I got a call today saying it was in. I sent my wife to pick it up. BIG MISTAKE! She assumed that the pharmacy had my insulin needles prescription in the bag which was stapled and she paid with her debit card. When she got home I open the bag and instead of my usual 200 needles, ** brand, there were 100 BD brand, 100 short.

    I go with my wife back to the Walmart and said that they either didn't order what I normally get and when they got the script from the doctors, why didn't they question the amount and brand as I had always paid cash as they were cheaper and I told them the brand was also wrong and I had never paid with insurance..

    Walmart refused to take the needles back and now my wife paid 34 dollars and 200 of the other brand were only 25 dollars and I am on a limited income and now I can't afford the rest of my needles and will now have to cancel a doctor's appt as I can't afford the visit copay and now will be able to only take half my insulin.

    For the last few months I've been thinking I'd lost my mind. I have to take ** for rigors that are a lingering side effect from being on ** before so I'm prescribed 90 a month. Lately I've been running out early & thinking someone had been stealing them or that I'd been losing some. This is a very strong medicine that has to be kept up with very carefully. I've been taking this for over 10 yrs. To be short I will say I finally started counting them when I picked them up from WM pharmacy and they've been putting only 60 rather than 90 in the bottle. Now I called and the lady at the counter pretends she miscounted them but I don't believe that. Furthermore she's not the pharmacist so why would she be allowed to handle such a strong drug?

    The lady "pretended" to do a pill count there and I picked up the other 30 since then but she didn't even have time to do a pill count and she returned my call from her own cellphone. Not the WM pharmacy line. I told a friend about this who used to work there in the pharmacy and she told me the pharmacists and employees there do this often because they are all pill heads for lack of better words. I'm switching pharmacies but still torn on just who to report this to and I hope nobody ever uses this pharmacy because obviously they are dirty there and you may not get the right meds or be shorted meds. They need to shut it down.

She informed that she was buying it for herself and was still refused the purchase and then the tech even told her he could call the police since she asked someone else what type we take. I fully understand that it is against the law for a person to purchase/aid a person who is on the registry, which I am not, but the tech could have explained it better.

    I don't know if this is legal or not what Walmart did? If someone knows please let me know. It happened this month; September 2014. I have been on 2 types of anxiety meds for over 4 yrs. One for anxiety and one for sleep. There has been no problems til this month. One was prescribed by my psych. Dr and other by my arthritic Dr. I had the Same 2 Drs the whole time. This month when it came time to reorder my psych med. (I do it online through Walmart), the refills I had weren't there anymore. The sleep med was but I was out of refills.

    When I finally found out what was going on, it sent me straight into a panic attack and to the E.R. My blood pressure shot up to 140 over 103. Never been that high. I had to have a EKG and chest x-rays done. All this because Walmart called my psych Dr and informed him I was on 2 anxiety meds and had multiple Drs. My psych Dr should have been aware of this already anyway since I'd been there over 4 yrs and they had my med list. I do not feel Walmart should have called them anyway without my permission.

    My psych Dr bbc.co to fill my major anxiety meds. I take 3 1mg ** a day. So of course it would cause me to withdraw and have a severe anxiety attack. Which I know this is very dangerous healthwise to be cut off cold turkey. The E.R. gave me a dose of my meds after the tests and got my calmed down. My next appointment hadn't been for 3 months to see my psych Dr. I had been told I had to see him before he would consider represcribing my **. Thank goodness a kind receptionist figured out something to get me in early the next morning. Once I saw him, my ** was refractive. I had to stop my killings for sleep though. That was fine with me. I only took that as needed because of the insomnia I get at times.

    I feel Walmart was way out of line with what they did. I don't know if the release of my information was even legal especially since I had been receiving both for over 4 yrs. If it was it should have been handled totally different. It caused me serious issues the way it was dealt with. It could have caused me to have a heart attack or seizures. I am switching my pharmacy now because of this to Preferred a newer pharmacy in my town with a lot cheaper prices than Walmart also.

    Several times this year alone, I call in for refills that are out of refills..... So they say they sent a fax, but my doctor never sees them; let me correct that, they get 1 of the 3. So they refuse to refill them... that's ok... I am not asking them to fill expired prescriptions. However, as care providers, part of the medical system, you think they would either retry to contact the doctor after a few days, or call me, or something to let me know I won't be getting life care medications (Diabetes); instead, they wait for you to show up, and if pressured will "resend" the fax's that will never appear at the doctor.

Every time I go to call my prescription in, the pharmacist answers the phone as nice as he can be, as soon as I give him my name and date of birth he treats me as if I'm addict! Even gone as far to tell me that they do not have my prescription in and it will be 3 days before I get any.

Was also told that I had to pick up all 84 of them at one time which would cost me a total of 400$ instead of allowing me to pick up a week at a time!

    I try my best to be respectful and keep a calm demeanor but I'm getting to the point where I want to do something about it.... Does anyone know how I officially report a pharmacist? This pharmacist told me in his own words that the medication I'm on is nothing but a hassle for him to have because he has to keep up with how many I have taken and he just doesn't want to deal with it... this is not fair to me. This is all just started 2 years ago. I had no problem picking up this medication but now that it's become more Main Street and more doctors are prescribing it, pharmacists are now treating me as if I am an addict. I have never came and picked up my prescription early nor have I ever tried to say they shorted me in my bottle. I've always just showed up, try to pay and gone! I want to do something about this, it is not fair to be treated this way!

At this point everything was fine. However, today, August 28, I got a phone call from the pharmacy saying my prescription was ready for pick and had a 0 balance. I thought that was odd, but that they must have called the doctor's office, so just to be sure, I called the pharmacy just to verify that I had a prescription for glucose strips with no payment required. I was told by the pharmacy person, "yes that was correct," so once again I drove to Wal-Mart and again I was told that would be $150.00. So I drove 20 miles and wasted an hour of my time for nothing.

    While most of you come here to report your incident... I think it would be in your best interest to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. They will investigate and make a determination plus ask you what you would like to see happen along with contacting the right person or individual in charge of the pharmacy you go to as well as seek to remedy such incidents in the future so they don't occur again... and to as well as reprimand the party or parties involved. They do contact them. The site holds the complaint for over a year where all over the world people can read and see just how this company treats its customers...

    I'm pretty sure you will find plenty of formal complaints there... The pharmacy is one of the worst. As you all know Walmart does not claim to have any part of this location in all its stores. It claims it's a separate entity... Well, POOP... Get a grip... If it's located inside your stores, then it's a part of the problem you need to fix... Being lied to by the employees of the pharmacy so you cannot speak to the manager is unacceptable. Being YELLED AT across the counter from one of the employees is unacceptable.

    Having to wait over 2 hours for a prescription that was called in a day before, told it would be ready that same day, drive there, wait, been told they had to order it , that it would be in the next day, getting there, standing in line for 20 minutes, then to be told you have to walk around while they unbox it, then come back and told to have a seat cuz it will be another 20 minutes. Then you call from your seat cuz nobody is filling your script, but you see that they have unboxed all the freight... And the pharmacist laughs, yells at you for calling, asks your location, then yells at you, turns his head and make comments to other workers who in turn...then look directly to you and mouths the word ** to him. He then laughs.....

    I approach the part where you can speak with the pharmacist and he REFUSES to come speak with you but YELLS ACROSS THE COUNTER AT YOU... instead. I tell him my order better be filled and a call better come to my home within the hour. Yet I'm not coming back in... It's already cost me and my son $20 just to drive there. Then to be told the Manager would be in on Wednesday which is today, 8/27/2014, and when I call I'm told he's on vacation. So I call the toll free number to get the regional manager of the pharmacy and I'm told she cannot give me the name but send him my complaint and I'm telling her I want to speak to him in person so she said she would send him a blank email.

    What the heck is a blank email??? And he supposedly would get back in touch with me within 3 business days... and hangs up... Yeah she was from Arkansas. Who could of guessed? Do they really give a crap about their customers??? Not really... When do they care?? When you file a formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau ... then they hurry to rectify your situation... because your complaint and all responses from them to you is recorded for all to read and see.... So... guess what?? Once again I'm gonna file a formal complaint with them and then wait till the actual pharmacy district manager contacts me... to express my concerns and I hope they fire the individual who started this mess ...

    Oh and by the way, he is one of 3 that constantly fills my scripts with less than the order requires then calls me a liar. But I have taken in the bottles... to make them recount them. Its happened on several occasions on scripts for my health - for my thyroid and for my blood pressure - so he can't call me a druggy. Now let's see just where this goes and how far... this investigation goes and how long it takes for some much needed changes in the system of the pharmacies located in all Walmart stores across the country... and let's see just how they address this issue because from what I have read, there are hundreds of you who have some issues that need to be dealt with concerning the pharmacies across the country.

Second time I went script was $4.00 faxed in by dr four hours earlier. I get there, was not filled because they were not sure if my dad wanted to pay $4.00 for the medicine. Seriously?!! Had a script called in yesterday. I called, I said "I know the prescription is expensive please fill it I will be in at 7:30 to pick it up".

Since the first of the year, we have had 4 medications that we have indicated by their phone system that needed refills with the expectation they would call it in as promised. It hasn't happened. I thought the one for thyroid was something the doctor didn't want me to take, so that it had been cancelled. Nurse very upset that I did not continue taking it!! Husband's heart medicine has not been the full count. Two short every time. Also, I had bronchitis and was prescribed a cough medicine. I picked up one of the other prescription, but never got the cough medicine. I was so sick that I couldn't remember what was missing when I got there. We are 77 and 75 and this is no small thing.

    Recently, I was stunned by the smug incompetence of a store manager, after pharmacy employees lost my prescription and cancelled it without my permission (without even having filled the prescription). The store manager was so set in his assumption that looking at the camera footage would be "due diligence," that he refused to have an employee look for the lost prescription the old-fashioned way. "It's not where it's supposed to be" was all he could muster, and no employees in the store's pharmacy took the initiative to conduct a search. Concerning the manager's self-described "excellent due diligence," he told me that the camera angle did not permit him to say definitively what had happened... And yet he referred to his camera system as "excellent." Making matters worse, rather than admitting even to the possibility that an employee lost or even misplaced my prescription, an employee inputted in "the system" that I had cancelled the order and the paper prescription was then returned to me.

    This in spite of the fact that the camera footage verified that I left the store 45 minutes BEFORE the time the prescription was cancelled, and returned presumably to me. "You could have cancelled it by phone," the fat store manager replied when I pointed out the sheer implausibility of his "system's" claim. You can't argue with ignorance, especially when it is stubborn and has some authority. When the pharmacist tried to get the provider (not my primary care physician) to reissue or re-validate the cancelled prescription, the refusal was based on "the system" at Walmart, indicating that I have the prescription.

    I called in a refill for my pain med. Have been on them for years, my Dr said he had called it in so no big thing. After about an hour I call the store and was told it was done. I go in and the cashier who is very sweet says that she can't see it on her computer but will go look. About 5 minutes pass and out of the blue, the pharmacist comes out and says that there is a problem, that SHE thinks the Dr didn't call it in, that she thinks that I did. I have a great relationship with my Dr and so I call him at home. He tells me that he had called it and didn't understand what the issue was. He then stated that he would like to talk to the pharmacist but she refused. I finally after an hour of this got my meds. But I am now changing to a different place that I know the people and they don't treat you like dirt.

    I have lived in Conway s.c. my whole life (47) yrs. I have shopped with Walmart most of those years. But just recently I stepped away from my pharmacy that happens to be private owned. Because I don't have insurance I found Walmart to be a lot cheaper. This was approximately 3 years ago. I take a controlled med for pain, a med for anxiety, and a low dose med for sleep. I have 3 bulging disc, sciatica, carpal tunnel (both hands), tarsal tunnel left foot, tennis elbow and my latest diagnoses and most pain thing I've ever endured is a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. It was found in 2007. I was told to go thru p/t 3 week for 3 months. I did and was surprised at the results. All was well until 6 months ago when it came back with vengeance!! My Dr had to put me on a much stronger pain meds. And says I'll have to have surgery, which I can't because of no insurance. Needless to say, my husband and I are trying to get as we speak.

    My complaint is the rude and unprofessional manner this pharmacy has. I feel like I'm being treated like a pill junky every month. This month was the worst. My pain pills are prescribed at 150 a month. This month I was shorted 30 pills. I didn't realize until I got home and called my Dr who in turn tried to write me another script for the difference. Well boy was I ever embarrassed when I tried to fill. I was told it was against the law to fill twice in one month and they refused to fill. I tried to explain this wouldn't have happened if they hadn't shorted me. I was pushed aside and ran round and round while in unbearable pain, mind you. I finally came home because of the pain I was in and just so upset.

    Finally after gathering my bearings I called the pharmacy and asked if they had my original script. They said they did. I asked for them to be read to me. The quantity was 150 pills. So then I asked why wouldn't they give me the 30 they owed. I was put on hold for 12 mins. Then was told they'd call me back. 3 hrs later another pharmacist called back and again I explained my ordeal. And that I had my bottle that said quantity as 120. Again I was told they'd return my call. When I asked what the big deal was, they made a mistake and why couldn't I just get my 30 pills they owed me, he said because he didn't have that authority and for me to calm down because apparently I should be OK since I did JUST get 120 pills. But that was beside the point.

    The point is they made a mistake and inconvenienced me by ruining my whole day. Plus I live approx 15 miles away. And had to deal with all this while in unbearable pain. After another 3 hrs I got another phone call from the same pharmacist saying to come in at my convenience and pick up my 30 pills. I didn't get an apology, nothing!! Needless to say after this month I will NEVER use Walmart pharmacy again. So today I've got to go out of my way and pick up my 30 pills and of course have to pay the difference. At least they could do is apologize and comp the 30 pills. But that will never happen. But they will never get my business again. That I am SURE of.

    I have been shorted 3 different occasions and didn't notice two of those times till the end of the month. Those times I just chalked it up to maybe me taking a couple extra here and there when having a higher than normal pain day. Well since the 2nd time when felt shorted, I purchased a weekly dispenser and a combination lock box. This time got home I noticed that in my container was much less than usual. I am not a drug seeker. I understand that this may be common with narcotic prescriptions. I WAS 53 PILLS SHORT. OVER 1 WEEKS WORTH.

    When I called the pharmacy, they said that their inventory count was right on. Of course it would be if an employee COUNTED 210 AND PUT ABOUT 50 IN HIS POCKET. There are hundreds of similar truths if one searches for them. I came across this option of posting after a few hours searching for other people with similar issues. Possibly with this same store. I feel very helpless here. How will I function much less even get out of bed for a week. I understand that because I left the site without counting that there's probably nothing I can do.

    HOWEVER if this keeps it from happening again to me or another unfortunate person who lives in constant pain I want to help. I wouldn't be surprised if there are similar truths coming from this store with class/schedule 2 pain medication. Please advise me if you are hearing similar from Walmart pharmacy on 59th+bell. PS. I have been on this medication for years now and would take a lie detector in a court of law under oath with the whole world watching. I'm not making any of this up. I will say it again. I'm not a drug seeker.

    I will start off by saying never again will I go to a Walmart for prescriptions. I may take it further and not go to Walmart period. I spend over $1000.00 a month at Walmart. I dropped off my prescription at 7pm and the assistant asked if I want to wait for it to be filled. I stated, no I would pick it up in the morning. He stated ok, it will be ready for you. You will get a text. The next morning, I still had not received a text and I had to go pick up the prescription and start taking it prior to surgery.

    Well, I went to pick it up, and they did not have the prescription ready. They also stated that they had the real brand, but not the generic. The pharmacist stated that it would be later on that evening or maybe the next day before they would have that in stock. If did not start taking the medication that day, I would not be able to start the surgery. The pharmacist stated he was sorry. There was nothing he could do. I stated that he could give me the real brand for the same cost of the generic brand, since they were out of stock and it was over 12 hours that they knew this issue. The pharmacist stated he was sorry. I took the real brand for $75 difference out of my pocket for their incompetence of having drugs on hand or getting them to the store. I stated that the pharmacist said they were sorry for not compensating for their mistake or miss-management of the pharmacy. And not trying to make the situation better for the customer. NEVER AGAIN.

    Waynesboro Va. 22939 Wal-Mart Pharmacy - Had 3 strokes. On 04/11/14 Dr. give me prescription for ** for real bad headaches. Dr. told me to take 1 to 2 every 4 hours. My headaches keep getting worst so I had a Dr. Appointment with my Dr. and told him I was having trouble with my head and I was out of my pills. So he wrote me a new prescription even though my other one shouldn't have been done with. He knew I was using more than what he wrote out for me the first time. But also said my headaches were worst than better. I couldn't help it. I had a Ischemic stroke (brain stem infarction). So we left there to go to Walmart to have refill on a Friday.

    We were told that they didn't have them till that Tuesday that they were out of them. So I go all weekend without my medicine. Monday comes and I go to the hospital for my therapy and my head is pounding so bad I can't do it so I'm crying and my nurse ask what was wrong and my husband told her what happen with Walmart and she canceled my appt. and told me she never heard of such of a thing before and to go to Walmart and get my prescription back and take it somewhere else. Then go home and stay in bed the rest of the day.

    Went to Walmart and got my prescription back and on the back of it - It read refused to refill before Tuesday. I'm a 53-year-old woman who just had 3 strokes and you want to lied to me and tell me you are out of the pills instead of calling my doctor and asking him if it's ok to refill even if it's a little too early. No, you want to made me feel like a druggy. So I got it back and took it to CVS and they refill it with no problem. I'm now done with Walmart Pharmacy.

    Background: I work in the healthcare industry and somewhat understand Rx formulary. This means some insurance plans cover some drugs and not others. They often pay in tiers. When a generic is available they may not pay for Brand name drug, or they may require a higher copay. I was filling a prescription for my husband which I filled at Walmart four weeks earlier for myself. Same doctor, same script. The last time I got this filled, it was either an hour or two wait, or the RX would be filled from central location in a day or two. The Script ok'ed generic substitutions.

    I don't LIVE close to a Walmart. I was going out of town. He needed the script for surgery. I selected Walmart Summerfield because I was going to lunch close by and could fulfill the two hour wait. I found out the drug was around $56 and the Generic was around $17. I used generic last time. My husband was not keen on the generic version, but knowing him, he would not want to pay $57 for a script, either if he had no insurance coverage. So I called Walmart Summerfield the day before to: 1) make sure it was ok for me to fill my husband's script; 2) to try to ascertain they had the drug in stock; and 3) to see what the copay was and if the brand name script was in their formulary.

    Calling ahead... they would ONLY verify it was OK for me to get his script. I arrived fifteen minutes before lunch to drop off the script. Had to wait in the drop off line. I asked her before I left if she had his insurance cards and the script. She said YES. I tried to get the rest of my questions answered but the clerk said it would take ten minutes to call it in or electronically process it. I left. Two hours later to pick up the script, I stood in the pick up line. They had a bottle. The script had been filled. The same clerk told me I had to go to the drop off line because SHE DID NOT HAVE THE INSURANCE CARDS. I said, "I asked you if you had them this morning." She did NOT process this herself. She merely dropped off the bottle... and I had to go to the end of the line. UNBELIEVABLE.

    Two hours later and we are back where we started. NO RX and NO IDEA of coverage. (He has Medicare). My purse was open to pay at the pick up... and all some money fell out. I stopped to get my money and looked around for credit cards stuff falling. Another clerk moved my bottle aside... and processed someone in front of me. I waited in line five minutes. The original clerk came over, and well she did not want to wait on me. Finally she put on her Blue smock and said, "Can I help you?"

    THEN she tells me his insurance never heard of him. THEN she said, "It did not go in this morning when I input them." HUH? You mean when I was there and she did not tell me then there was a problem. So I asked to call my husband. I know Medicare re-ups every year, so maybe he had a new RX. OH NO. SHE refused to verify anything. She told me it would do no good because she had to have the card. She was convinced the card was wrong. So, now after wasting a couple hours and calling ahead, I have to go home and start the process all over again

    Then, at home, I find out my husband had not changed insurance. The card IS VALID. The clerk entered the number wrong. I discovered the number was hard to read when I tried to give it to insurance. VOILA, the clerk NEVER told me the card was hard to read. One digit was difficult. It was either a 5, 6 or a 3. Had the genius said the card is hard to read we could have addressed the issue. Better yet, the genius could have called the customer help line like I did. BUT NO... the uncaring clerk screwed me over royally giving me the runaround by guessing the freaking number then "assuring me" my husband had NO coverage. Seriously? You GUESS a number. Sara or Sara the clerk presented it like he was recognized but he was no longer covered. I've never filled a script for my spouse with this insurance, so I was not sure.

    Back at home, the insurance agent said he had been a covered member since 2008. This is 2014. The insurance agent offered to call Walmart Pharmacy to verify insurance since they are a preferred provider (another question I asked), and Keenen at the Walmart Pharmacy in Summerfield, FL HUNG UP. I called the Walmart store, asked for the manager and was placed on hold ten minutes. She never picked up. I called again and she said she was never told I was on the line. But she told me to complain to 1-800-Walmart.

    Meanwhile the insurance called back after the disconnect. I learned that Co-lyte was NOT covered at all under his plan... and verified the generic Gavi-lyte was. So I waited hours at a store for a script not covered. OMG, I called in advance. It gets worse. Drive to another Walmart. BY then, they had the insurance correct, because the insurance provided called Walmart back and made sure. She is the one that told me they entered a three instead of a six. (The first thing I had done, calling insurance was ask for a replacement card). I had to provide Gavilyte as the generic, they looked it up and I got the co-pay info.

    The next Walmart had Gavilyte N but not Gavilyte C. OMG... told me it would be another 24 hours. The Pharmacy manager at Walmart Silver Springs Boulevard., at least not only called the Walmart Bahia (where I had mine filled), to make sure they had one in stock... AND called the doctor to make sure they approved Gavilite C. She noted this on the script. The nice folks at Walmart Silver Springs did tell me they called many local alternate providers in the past and none of them had Gaviltye C. Now I had to drive to yet another Walmart, wait an hour for the script to be filled.

    I went at ten a.m. to get a script filled. By seven PM I got it. AFTER I drove to three stores. Royal Runaround. I'm so glad I called ahead and went to a preferred Medicare Pharmacy. Why am I writing this? 1-800-Walmart faxed my complaint to a district manager. They then faxed it to Sunrise instead of Summerfield... and Sunrise did not want to talk to me. Another Royal Runaround. Since I included the names Sara and Keenen they knew it was not them.

    Bottom line: Do your homework. Verify the insurance yourself and the coverage. Expect long delays. It takes DAYS to get a script filled. Allow ample time. Figure out the copays and the formulary... and PRAY! Ask if it is in stock… though I guess on a new script there isn't much you can do. If they don't have it, you will wait days... til they do.

    Oh yeah... if your refill is too early Walmart will not tell you, just put you in limbo hell. I had to call Bahia and find out what was going on. OH yeah and they won't determine if they have the right copays, etc on a refill until it is filled. Another hassle. Do your refills early and plan for multiple mayhem. And of course ONE store cannot tell you about RX at another store... Unlike Walgreens, they say they are not LINKED. Funny though, his insurance was updated. I detect a ** statement and they are just doing the Royal Runaround. I predict you should sell your shares of Walmart stock. The stores are going downhill. Hope this helps.

    In summary... Clerk entered wrong number, on a hard to read card, never once said that. Did not care. Sent me packing. I was not treated like a valuable client. She was not friendly or helpful. Second person in same place hung up on me. Store Manager gave me 1-800-Wal-mart. "Your friendly local Walmart store." HA!

I went back on the 12th of April Hoang screamed again, “Oh My God!” I said, “Don't treat me like a drug addict. I see my Doctor each month and you refuse to fill my prescription. I only have a few days left.” He said, “No we are not going to fill it.”

She said, “Well what do you want us to do?” I ask if they could fill a 30 day for me. She said, “We need another prescription from the doctor, oh and we only have 17 day supply.” I ask for manager and the manager said, “I can't smell anything.” I thought is something wrong with her sense of smell due to the fact she works in a pharmacy. She said, “This medicine is not contaminated.” She didn't give a flip if it was or not because she was just covering her **. I am going to try to get the medicine tested.

    I switched my pharmacy from the Walmart Pharmacy on 15th Avenue and Bethany Home Road to the Walmart pharmacy on 19th Avenue and Bell Road. Since the change on the numerous occasions that I have gone to this pharmacy, not one of my prescriptions have been have been filled seamlessly. There is always a problem. Coming down today, either don't have the medication that I need, they claim to have never received the request from the doctor's office or never to ever received what they need to fill the prescription as far as the insurance. I have been told to come back on numerous occasions.

    On April 12, I came into Walmart to pick up my prescriptions. Well, I was in line. A lady was standing behind me and she made the statement that she hates coming to this pharmacy. As much as I felt the same way that she didn't, I kept my mouth shut on that subject. Once I was at the counter requesting my two prescriptions which should have been ready, I was told that only one of the prescriptions was ready. The other was not and that there was no other request for medication. I then went and sat down and called the doctor's office to get a hold of the on-call doctor who called it in, then called me back to let me know that it was done per my request. I could see the pharmacist on the phone with her.

    I then got back in line to find out how long it would be. They then stated that it still had not been called in. I stated I watch them take the call and they should check. The pharmacist began to say no. Then I stated, "You just got the call." Then he stated, "Ah, Stephanie **; it will be 45 minutes." I said okay. I proceed to shop. Once I was finished, I went back to the pharmacy which was then closed for lunch. I went to grab something to eat at the McDonald's onsite then returned to a long line. I sat down, ate and took my medication, then got in line when it was shorter.

    When I approached the counter, my prescription was still not ready and it would be another 5 minutes. I then was indescribably agitated. I was hot all over, could not see straight, heart just outrageously pounding, telling him hurry up! I sat down for a few moments; I got back up. I was keeping track of the time because I was not giving him a second over the five minutes. I had given enough of my time. I have been in that store from 10 in the morning until close to 3 in the PM. That was more than enough time to have had a prescription that now he was stating he could have done in 5 minutes when it wasn't done before.

    I felt like pressure was building. In 5 minutes he had it done. I got my prescription and I told him, "Next time when I come here, have my prescription on time and correct." I was fuming. I was having trouble controlling my breathing. I got that statement out and then he continued to turn around him and another man whose name tag read ** went back there and they laughed. That was it I was done. I was not in the mood to be tolerant of someone to whom I had already extended more than enough patience to now mock me and find it funny.

    There's nothing funny about someone being in pain and suffering. What kind of a human being finds that funny? I was screaming now. Management shows up, ask me to leave because what I am doing is nonsense. They are telling me I am creating scene and trespassing and they're calling the cops on me. No one offered help or asked what had happened. They never asked my name. They did not even ask their own associates what took place. I left, went home and called them. They state that they would investigate the matter and get back to me. I stated that I had called before but no one ever responded and the manager stated again he would investigate and get back to me and that I never called on any other incidents which was a lie! He still never asked for my name and number. I had to point this out to him several times. After I hung up and got ready to take my medication, I then had someone else's medication. I called back to let them know.

    I recently moved from NC to VA. I transferred my prescriptions from the old Walmart to the Walmart in Stuart, VA. I always get my prescriptions filled on the three months for $10 plan, and was especially glad to use the plan when I moved as Stuart is 30 miles from my home. I have used the plan several times and planned to use it again when I called in my Rx for **. I was quite surprised when the pharmacy tech told me they can't fill it for 3 months "It wasn't written for 90 days." I explained to her multiple times that I have a 60-day script with 3 refills, which to a person with a brain equals 3 months of meds. I finally gave up and asked to talk to someone else.

    "Chris" came on the line, told me the same story, and hung up on me in the middle of my sentence. I called back. The same tech "Samantha" answered the phone and when I asked for Chris, she told me he was on the phone with another customer. I told her I would wait. She put me on hold, then I was hung up on again. I called back for the 3rd time and asked to speak to Chris again. He was now "with a customer" and could she help. I told her yes, she could put me through to the manager. Oh, but there isn't one there today (surprise) so I told her any old assistant manager would do.

    Long story short, I was put on hold again and then, miracle of miracles, they didn't hang up on me that time, but told me the asst. manager was busy and I could talk to some merchandising manager. I told them I would hold for the asst manager. I was assured that it would take a long time to talk with him, but I again told her I would wait. In less than 2 minutes, asst. manager "John" was on the phone, with Chris there with him. I explained my problem and at that point was more angry that I had been hung up on several times than I was about the meds. I got no satisfaction from anybody. The manager just wanted me to talk to Chris, and I told him I did not have any more business with Chris. My business was with him, and he needed to instruct his staff not to hang up on customers.

    I then called the local pharmacy, gave them my refill number from Walmart, and will be picking up my 3 months of ** later this afternoon. I wish I knew how to forward this site to the Stuart Walmart. Not that I would expect them to care. But they don't have to worry about seeing me at their pharmacy ever again. In fact, I told the asst manager to tell Chris, since he was standing right there beside him, to cancel my refill and that I wouldn't be using their services again.

The poor woman hasn't slept since she lost her husband of 52 years two weeks ago. She is in excellent health, just hasn't slept and it is taking its toll. Her family physician prescribed 5 pills. The pharmacists made her feel like "an opium addict" (her words) and refused to fill the script until they conferred, not with her doctor, but with each other!?! Clay Walmart has lost the entire family's business. And I have told everyone I work with, socialize with, etc. When it hits their revenue, maybe the pharmacists will get a crash course in customer service!

I guess they didn't get ordered and it will be Monday before they have them. These are pills for my Father's Alzheimer's disease. How can people be so careless???? There is one pharmacist at Walmart pharmacy that has been inconsiderate and rude. If they cannot keep up my father and mother's medication, instead of giving us the run around.

    Tropicana Boulder Highway Wal Mart, Las Vegas, NV - Dropped my prescriptions for insulin pens and Walmart prescription intake lady said they would call when ready within 24 hours. Two days later no call from the Walmart pharmacy, and when I called the pharmacy a man who could not speak English well enough to understand kept telling me that the insurance did not cover the insulin so it would cost me $1,000.00.

    I called my insurance and they said that the Walmart pharmacy never contacted them - their call center records all calls from insured parties and pharmacies. I went back to Walmart, picked up my prescriptions and took them to CVS. CVS had the insurance coverage verified in minutes by computer and filled my prescriptions within 2 hours.

    This was an intentional attempt by the Walmart pharmacy to rip off a consumer whose life depends on the prescription/medication. My question to anyone who knows more about pharmacies is - can the pharmacy see my ability to pay? Was I targeted for this Walmart pharmacy rip off attempt because of some private information in their computer database?

    I want to give some POSITIVE feedback and overall satisfaction about my trip yesterday to the Murphy, NC Pharmacy dept. The people there really offered tremendous help and assistance to reach out and meet my customer needs. They "DO CARE" about the customer!!! I had a new Rx filled at a local pharmacy in town but the generic drug price was higher than I thought it would be. My Rx plan from Humana gives best prices thru Walmart pharmacies. So I contacted Walmart and told them my circumstances... They quickly registered me into their system, expeditiously contacted to transfer the script and even told me it should be ready for pick-up later that day!!!

    I called the next day to verify it had been filled and was greeted with a friendly staff and the cost for a 90-day supply was only $3. But beyond the low, low price, I was more impressed with the professionalism and caring people and how I was treated with kindness and patience. **, that store manager, deserves a lot of credit for the exceptional operational management she has implemented there with competent and caring employees to fill the customer's needs and concerns!!!

    I am unfortunately on Workmans comp. I understand how a prior authorization is required and can be aggravating at times for all. However I have notified my pharmacy ahead of time every time so it can be processed so a prior authorization can be requested. I am told each time after the PA is approved that my medication will be ready on a certain day for pick-up. Somehow the refill order never gets done and I drive to WalMart Pharmacy to find out that the rx has not been completed and I will have to wait, this is after calling and even visiting the Pharmacy days before. It has happened every time!! Today (03/13/2014) is another day that this has occurred. I called my rx in on Monday and was told it would be ready today so instead of driving there to be told it is not been filled yet I called prior to leaving. And again I was told it wasn't filled and would not be ready for a couple hours.

    I actually have plans in 2 hrs and due to my medical condition I am unable to sit or stand for periods of times. I requested for it to be sooner and they said they had to fill in all the orders for "today" before filling mine. The girl was talking rude and I informed her that I was told the rx would be ready today. She stated it didn't matter and I had to wait. No accommodations were offered and it just turned into an argument. WalMart please correct this so when a PA is involved the refill is processed as I'm told it is every time! Thank you.

    My doctor ordered a new prescription for me at the Gail Gardner Walmart in Prescott. He wanted me to have 1.5 pills, and this caused confusion. Then they told me that the way it was, they'd have to charge for 2 prescriptions. I had my doctor send a new prescription to another pharmacy, and they got it right. My dad was charged more than he expected, and they claimed that the insurance raised not rate (not $65) in 1 month, and we discovered that the pharmacy sets the price, not the insurance company. They lied to us and blamed the other organization. Walmart is dishonest, and I won't go back to their pharmacy. Costco's prices were actually lower than Walmart by 80%.

    During the past 12 yrs I have continually had problems with both my own Rx and my last dog, as well as my current one. I no longer fill my own Rx at ANY Walmart Pharmacy as they were never ready, hadn't come in the shipment or "claimed" they didn't carry a particular item. Just too many hassles. My last dog was on meds for collapsing trachea, thyroid, and different antibiotics as he got older. My Vet would call all Rx in herself and always did so the same day, but about every other time when I went to pick them up, they would say they had not received a call from her... She finally started faxing them in, yet seldom were they ready and I'd have to wait or come back.

    After he passed away I got another dog of the same breed and gave him the same name with a II after it to denote "the 2nd". Big mistake right off the bat. They somehow couldn't put deceased on the first pooch and open a new account for the new one! That presented a problem from the start and as he had to be on ** for seizures (as many as 30/day when I first got him) and this being a controlled substance made it harder as the Vet had 2nd after his name and it was actually II. His dose varied until he was under control after 6 months so my Vet wrote an amount and "As directed".

    Walmart wouldn't accept that because they said FL's new narcotic laws did not permit that. Jeez... He weighed 7 lbs and took a total of 1.2 ml per day, yet they treated me like I must be taking the meds myself when I'd get upset over all their not picking. This is a child's elixir and I'd have to drink a 6 mo supply for any effect. But 3 yrs ago they were the cheapest game in town @ $4.88 for a 3 month supply, and I was out of work.

    In the beginning he was on a higher dose and I'd get 8 oz with one refill. Last summer 2013, Walmart started getting hip to the $$ they could make on pet meds and the price tripled w/o notice. In July my Vet was on vacation so her fill-in could only authorize 120 ml about half of his normal amount. They charged me $18+ for that. I take him every 6 months to have his levels checked and got a written Rx for his usual amount of 8oz. When I went to pick it up I saw it was only for 120 ml same as the fill-in Vet had prescribed. I said to the tech, "This is wrong, the written Rx says 8 oz which is his usual Rx... which is about 240 ml." She pulled up his record & tells me it said last time you got 120 ml. I explained for the 2nd time that was not his regular Vet. Please look at the Rx I dropped off. All she did was argue with me that she had to go by what was in the system.

    Then the head Pharmacist got into it quoting all the new laws FL had & saying quite loudly, "This is a Narcotic and a controlled substance, the law dictates what I can dispense". At this point I was really fed up and said, "Have you even bothered to read the written Rx I brought in or checked to see how much he got before last July?" She just ignored me and went back to her cubbyhole. During this time there was a very nice eastern European assistant pharmacist quietly listening to everything. He went in back for a minute & came back with both the written Rx and a print out of past orders and presented them to the Pharmacist, saying I was correct. So the Rx was refilled by the snooty tech, and the final 2 digs were that the Pharmacist would only give me 1.2 ml X 6 mos=216 ml not the 240 ml it was written for, and charged me $37+ for an Rx I had gotten for $4.88 less than 9 mos ago.

    When I got home and opened the bag, there was less than 200 ml in the bottle. I called and reported the entire incident to the Store Manager, noting how the new Assistant Pharmacist was the only one who helped me. Although I will never get another Rx from Walmart, I went there to get some vitamins and saw that neither the Pharmacist nor the tech were there anymore.

Good thing that it wasn't a narcotic; otherwise, they would have really had some issues. I have already contacted a lawyer about this because my daughter is now having to wait for her med simply because someone did not do their job.

This happens when I forget to take the meds on time, but this was happening while I was taking Walmart's meds. I went in and asked the pharmacist if they had any of the Teva meds or if they could order them for me and they said they couldn't order them because of a manufacturing problem.

    I contacted Teva and they said they are not having any problems making my med. Walmart lied to me and made me pay $130 for a medication that didn't work. They would not refund my money, nor would they take the medication back. I transferred back to Walgreeens and had no problems getting Teva back.

Had I known that we were all out of refills, I would have called 3 days in advance but this was for an inhaler needed badly.

    Three days ago, I called Wal-Mart in Asheboro to refill a script; one that I had gotten there twice before. I was told they would have to fax the Dr. for approval (which I didn't understand because the bottle clearly stated there were refills remaining), but I said okay. I called the next day, was told they had not heard from Dr. I called the next day at 10 AM. This time, I was told it would be ready for pick-up in 30 minutes. I live approx. 30 miles from the store so I waited until 2 PM to go to Wal-Mart, only to be told that they had not yet heard from the Dr.! I'm like, "I was told 4 hours ago I could pick it up in half an hour, so please recheck your info." She goes to a lady I assume was a pharmacist.

    This time, I was told they wouldn't have the medication in stock until tomorrow. So which is it, you don't have it or you haven't heard from the doctor!? I was so upset I just started crying. I said, "What's going on with your IQ?" I know that was wrong but my medication is not supposed to be interrupted. I had already been waiting 3 days. It is NOT a narcotic. I know we all make mistakes but I never got so much as an "I'm sorry" or any kind of apology. If it was a doctor error, why was I told it was being filled? My husband is a pharmacist who is taking 2 months off to care for his ailing father. He suggested I use Wal-Mart until he returns to work. He called them himself concerning this matter. They went off on some story about capsules not being available, just tablets. So there's yet another story.

    I didn't care which form (capsules or tablets), I just wanted my prescription. I can honestly say that I have never seen such a lack of care and concern as was displayed by this Wal-Mart staff. Needless to say, I will NEVER again use them, even if I have to pay double. I was treated like a stray dog that got into the store that they wanted to get rid of.

    My doctor phoned my prescription in to Walmart Pharmacy after my local pharmacist did not have the product available. Several hours later, I drove 18 miles to pick it up, but it wasn't ready. The technician claimed they needed more information from the doctor. I called, they called, and the doctor's office assured us that the information had been sent. There was a digital receipt to confirm this. Next, Walmart claimed that Medicare would not pay because of some technicality (I forget now what they called it). Back to the doctor's office. The problem, I was assured, lay with Walmart, not with the doctor or her office and requested another follow-up call/fax.

    Since I think face-to-face is more effective than "invisible" phone calls, I drove back to Walmart (18 miles again). Still no Rx. Finally the technician thought to check my record (I assumed they had done that already! You think?) and she "discovered" that my insurance, not Medicare, is where they should bill. Four days had passed since the original contact. Now, call me thick-headed, but I thought the problem was resolved. So when I needed a refill, back I went to Walmart. SAME thing, again! But the techie was patient and pleasant; she apologized profusely and assured me that everything was on track and I would have no more problems.

    HA! You may reasonably assume at this point that I would have learned my lesson and gone elsewhere, but no, I gave them a third chance. And it was virtually a repeat of the first two times. But they were telling me such a convincing litany of government jargon that I believed them when they blamed it on changes in Medicare - again! In a fit of total frustration, I asked my poor beleaguered doctor's office to write me another Rx. I took it to my local pharmacy and in less than five minutes, I was on my way home with the refill in hand.

    I loved working for Walmart Pharmacy when Sam Walton was alive. Things changed. Everyone running the company got a little too greedy and their associates don't mean as much as the consumers who get lowest prices and best services. The company used to stand by their employees but the customer is always right seems to fit even if in the wrong now. I would like to know the longest time a pharmacist has worked for Walmart Pharmacy since Sam Walton passed on. They would rather hire new pharmacists than pay for life insurance, stocks, 401k and any retirement benefits to save money. I saw myself and right after me another pharmacist who worked over 20 years with the company get fired. Florida is a "Right To Work" state where big companies like Walmart have so much control. Lawyers are afraid to take on Walmart because they will lose.

    Here's my case. First unjust thing was telling me as pharmacy manager I had to clean up an ongoing problem that existed 4-5 years before I came there and was given 90 days to fix. There was no way any one person could do that. Then when I failed, I got demoted and said I would be fired or go to different store under different DM. I had no choice but after I left, a part-time pharmacist was made pharmacy manager and a whole crew of people were sent in to fix the problem. Why wouldn't the other DM help me? When I asked for him to be reviewed, they found nothing wrong with his behavior. What? Then the last straw. I know I was being watched so they could find a reason to get rid of me.

    I have a concealed weapons permit which allows me to carry a gun in my purse or possession but not out in open. I was not given a warning but fired on the spot because I broke a Walmart Rule. I was not aware so ignorance did not count but with customers like we have wanting narcotics, many places allow this. After 22 years, I thought a warning would be fair. After that they fired another pharmacist who had been there over 20 years. Now that the marketplace has plenty of pharmacists they can do whatever they please. I would bet if you could check not many pharmacists last after 20 years, So I realize that no lawyer will touch this case because Walmart has so many lawyers to protect such a huge company. We are all too small to fight back. This is the end of my story. Thanks for reading.

    I had dropped off a prescription before the day it needed to be filled to ensure they would have it ready when it needed to be picked up. I got a call telling me my prescription was ready, and so when I went to pick it up the next day, I was told that they had pulled my prescription to fill another order. I was not called or contacted when they did that. And so the pharmacist who was there on duty when I went to pick it up said they shouldn't have done that and he could call other pharmacies to get it filled.

    Problem is, I have no insurance and have to pay cash, and Walmart is the only affordable option for me, and I work during the day and take public transportation so tracking down another Walmart was not an option either. The pharmacist then told me that he had ordered more if I could wait until the 14. Having no choice but to wait, I did. I went to Walmart to pick up my prescription today and was told by probably the same pharmacist who pulled my prescription that I have to wait until tomorrow and they may or may not have it. I am now out of meds that I can't function normally without.

    While trying to find somewhere to voice my complaint, I read that Walmart does not keep track of scripts bought in that are not paid for with insurance, which I find funny because this is the second time that my prescription goes missing after I hand them the script and they enter it into the computer. Last month, I just took the script back and had to pay the higher price at Walgreens, but couldn't afford it this month and feel like I'm getting the runaround from the pharmacy so I can take the script elsewhere. I feel wronged as I should have at least been called when they gave my meds away. This all happened at Walmart store 5646, 2551 W. Cermak, Chicago, IL 60608.

Furthermore, there was one cashier and one pharmacist for a community of over 26,138. It is impossible for two people to keep up with the needs of the community.

I have had similar experiences at other business establishments & boycotted their stores & needless to say, most are not in business anymore.

    Do I really think that I alone was the reason that other businesses have gone bankrupt? No, I do not. I do know that I will not spend my money in a place that refuses to accommodate their customers. I know I will tell everyone I know, blog about it all over the internet & give unfavorable reviews at every opportunity about my poor experience in your Leominster, MA store, and that I am no longer giving my business to Walmart. This is what happens when a business goes downhill. Blame the economy all you want. In reality, you can only blame yourselves for subpar customer service and idiotic policies that do not have the best interest of your customers in mind.

    My 10-year-old dog has UTI. I went to a vet in another town while I was on vacation and had to see a vet there. She received treatment and a week's worth of antibiotics. She seemed better for the first week, but then started showing signs of the UTI again. The vet was called, and they decided she needed to be put on antibiotics for a longer period of time. She was in pain and the UTI was causing blood in her urine. They called the prescription into Walmart Pharmacy at the neighborhood store in Bedford, TX. My grown daughter followed up for me, and they told her they had to order it and it would be ready the next day. This concerned me, but I understood.

    The next day, I went to the pharmacy to pick up the medication. The pharmacy assistant, Vincent, told me that it was not ready and "Didn't they tell you it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow?" (which would be two days). First of all, if they had told me, did he really think I would be there trying to pick it up? Second, the tone of his voice was not customer-friendly but instead sounded a bit sarcastic. I informed Vincent that "No, I was told it would be ready today." He didn't apologize nor showed any concern. I explained that I was worried about my dog, and could he call another local Walmart and see if they have it in stock. Vincent looked around the pharmacy and said he couldn't because they were too busy. I got upset, but instead of yelling, got teary-eyed and told him that this dog is very important to me, that I lost my mom and sister, and my dog has gone through all of it with me. He finally reluctantly called the nearby Walmart and told me they didn't have it, but that they would have it in the next day. Feeling there was nothing I could do, I asked what time it would be in and he said around 3 pm.

    I went back the next day (today) at 6:30 pm, only to be informed that it wasn't in. Okay, now I was getting really upset. My dog is really sick and have been put off again. I was told by Jasmine that ordering pet medicines was new to them and there must be a misunderstanding with the associates on how to order them, that they were not ordered from the right site and would not be in until Friday. Jasmine was empathetic and nice, but it does not make up for all this misinformation.

    I ended up taking my dog to urgent care that evening with a "free" office visit. It still cost me $110.00, when the medicine would have only been $15.00. I was not going to wait for a total of four days for the medicine that was never ordered, and I could not trust the pharmacy anymore that it would be in. I will never use Walmart pharmacy again based on the incompetent, unsympathetic response I received with this order and the extra charges I incurred based on this incompetence.

    I was at the Walmart on Annapolis Rd, Landover MD. On July 3rd, I was picking up my medicine and the pharmacist was not only rude to me, but also to the cashier. Also, she gave me the medicine of someone else, Ms. ** (and my name is Wanda **), whom I had the pleasure of calling to let her know that I picked up and paid for her medicine. I then called Walmart and spoke to the pharmacist and she was not concerned at all, nor did tell me to bring back the medicine; and lucky for me, I always read my bottle before taking it.

    Since no one seems to care that this can happen to others, like elderly people, I will be sending this letter to BBB’s complaint office, Facebook, and Twitter. Someone had to care somewhere. Then I walked down another aisle and there was a 95-year old woman. When she dropped two items near where two employees were standing there talking, you think that they would have bent over to pick the items up, instead, they watched her. She tried to pick them up herself; another gentleman walked in front of me to assist this 95-year woman. For Real Walmart, For Real.

    I had my RX filled at Walmart in Nacogdoches, TX as usual. I was at work so my wife picked it up for me and brought me a pill. A little back ground: these pills come from the manufacturer in a sealed pre-counted bottle of 30. She noticed the seal was unusually easy to remove. A few days later, I noticed a pill was broken in half, in fact, several pills were broken. I was puzzled; how could this have happened? I didn't do this. My wife told me the seal was there but it was just laying there, not glued.

    Upon closer examination, I saw the edge of another label under mine. I carefully peeled it up and, sure enough, these pills had been sold to someone else. The pharmacist who was very apologetic gave me another bottle free and checked the new seal himself. This Walmart pharmacy has always been great and has never made a mistake for me. The people are friendly, this is a small E. TX town and we are good people here.

    Someone made a mistake somewhere. They told me they do not accept pills to return. I asked how another person's info was under mine. He said they filled it but they didn't pick it up so it went back into stock, but the label should have been removed. I have all the previous person's info which is a HIPPA violation, not to mention who knows if the pills I was taking were even the right ones. I am awaiting an answer from Walmart Corporate on this matter.

    It is May 4, 2013 and allergy season has been bad in Western Pennsylvania with pollen counts 10 to 12 this week. ** 180 mg OTC does not work for her so the doctor called in a prescription of ** 12 hours. ** is the only one that is non-drowsy for both of us. My daughter and I both get weekly allergy injections but she is suffering more severely than I am.

    UPMC insurance will not pay for any antihistamines. The price was $63 for 60 tablets. The pharmacist told me my daughter could purchase a 20 count OTC for $18 and since she is over 18 years old, she must purchase it herself and she is required to show her driver's license. I had a $5 off computer-printed coupon that could be used for the OTC tablets but not for the called-in prescription. ** 180 mg is sitting on the Walmart shelf, and above it is a big sign that says, ask the pharmacist for the following including ** 12 hour which are kept behind the pharmacy counter, and no prescription is required. I went back to the pharmacy tech and asked to purchase a box of ** 12 hour for myself and she refused to sell it to me. She stated that she just heard the pharmacist tell me that my daughter needs to come in and purchase her own medication.

    My daughter is in the house suffering with her allergies and coming out will make the problem worse. I told the pharm. tech, "I am purchasing a box for myself," and she told me "No." I asked, "How can you refuse me when the sign says 'no prescription necessary' and I, too, have allergies?" After she still said no, I asked to talk with the pharmacy manager in charge. The pharmacy manager told me that this is their policy and I would have been able to purchase these but since the doctor called in a prescription, and I came to pick up the prescription, now I can't buy these OTCs myself. I could have gone to another pharmacy but they were closed and the price was higher.

    I told the Walmart pharmacy manager, "This policy is crazy and needs to be changed!" I am an R.N. allergy nurse, and this should not be happening in the peak of allergy season (this is true and I was able to verify it). She told me I was the second person who had the same problem. She did sell me a box and the other person. I told her that the policy doesn't make sense because I, too, can produce a driver's license, and the sign says "no prescription necessary," so I shouldn't be refused. As a nurse, I understand that all products containing ** are being controlled because of those persons using it to make crystal **. However, if I am producing a driver's license and not purchasing in excess, I should not be denied the purchase. The pharmacies are keeping a national record of your ** purchases which is okay by me, but please don't deny an allergy patient relief in the peak of allergy season.

I decided to count the pills and came up with only 67; it was short 23 pills.

Why would they need to open a sealed bottle to count when they are prepacked for the quantity being filled?

    I have been utilizing my local Wal-Mart (Shelton, CT) pharmacy for the past few months, to obtain my monthly prescription. Every time I went in, I would be forced to wait an excess of time, as they did not complete my script. I spoke with the pharmacist who explained their text message alerts that would alert me when the script is ready for pick up, which I found useful. Other minor issues with the staff being snotty, careless, and even a female pharmacist with eye-rolls to make any pre-teen look angelic. However, today I had the absolute worst experience I have ever had at a pharmacy, let alone a public store.

    I arrived at the store at 1:57 (I checked my watch specifically). They were closed for lunch from 1-2pm with a line of about 8 people. I noticed the regular check out clerk, a young slightly larger woman with dark skin and curly hair in a ponytail. She was walking past the pharmacy and shouted to the staff in the back that she was going to her car, as they would open late. I began waiting in the long line, which took about 20 minutes. I was at the counter and they did not get my script from the doctor, which was called in about 2-3 hours before. The clerk then checked the voice mail where the order was. Had I not been at my doctor’s when the phone call was made, I would not be upset. She then informed me it would be 30-45 minutes. I was the only person there at that point.

    The cherry on my sundae of disappointment was when I heard shouting, "Stop him, stop that man" and the entire store was in panic mode. I discovered someone had attempted to steal something and was stopped outside with police and ambulance. There were also 13 Wal-Mart employees standing around watching the events unfold outside and from the lawn/garden area. In my professional opinion, having run a retail location for 5+ years, that shows people are not doing their jobs.

    I came home and transferred my scripts to a local Target, with no problem at all. The pharmacy staff actually smiled, and the same script was $5 cheaper. All in all, save yourself time and aggravation and find a Target. The one I chose was only 4-5 miles away.

    Pharmacy Protocol & Miscounts by pharmacist on C-2 prescriptions: On Feb. 8, 2013, I entered Walmart at 9:15 a.m. and, as with previous times, I have my C-2 meds. filled at your Mexico ME store Zip code 04257. I have always left my hard copies of my C-2 pain meds several days before they are due to ensure that the pharmacist has ample time to order or ensure that on my pick up date, they have enough of each med I need because of policies that most pharmacies carry, and especially myself for I am contracted with my doctor to use this pharmacy.

    Upon my arrival at the pharmacy, I was greeted as usual by my name for I am disabled and have my certain severe medical problems, as the pharmacist, Jeffrey(?), spoke to me and said, "It will be at least 45 min. to 1 hr. before it's ready," and that there was one of my C-2 meds that he did not have in stock even though he had my papers at least 5 days prior. Now, not to be misled but I have had a very respectful relationship with all staff who work there and never make trouble. I was brought up to respect others.

    Well, I did my shopping and carried food out to my car before returning to the pharmacy to pick up 2 of my 3 C-2 prescriptions at approx 10:45 a.m. Pharmacist Jeff upon seeing me said that I was all set! And I approached the counter to get my one paper (hard copy) of unfilled C-2 med and the 2 that were filled, which I then left after signing and did co-pay stuff and wished all a nice day. I went out to my car and came home. At home, I opened bottle of ** 80 mg and took 1 with water, then opened ** 15 mg and proceeded to take 2 as prescribed as needed. I always am alert with my meds and if anything appears as not usual, I will check and my wife who is home is a certified Pharmacy tech though still unable to get employment. And after taking my meds, I proceeded to lock them up in our fireproof home safe and took and went to Rite Aid in Rumford to see if my C-2 med ** 60 mg could be filled and they did and I went home.

    We ate our family supper at 4 pm this day for my daughter had to leave early for her practice. After she left, I took the opportunity to take my shower and it was around 5 pm. While I was shaving, our house phone rang which my wife answered and brought the telephone to me and said that it was Walmart pharmacy. So I dried my hands and wiped shave cream off and answered the phone to hear, "Hi, Wayne. This is Jeffrey at the pharmacy." I said hi and he asked me to get him a count on my ** 15 mg that I picked up at least 7 hrs. earlier.

    Well, I got them out of my locked safe and came to the table with my wife and we counted together and found there to be only 143 pills, where I was prescribed 168 but I took 2 pills when I got home earlier. Now when I said, "Yea, Jeff, my wife and I just counted together and we counted 143," and that was when your pharmacist, Jeffrey, got all defensive and rude saying that he gave me 100 extra pills. When I said, "I'm sorry but if anything, I'm shorted 23 pills," and in the bottle I usually get for size fill, I know by visual look at how full the bottle should be. It seemed close to a little over half the bottle contained pills. Well, as it went on, Pharmacist Jeff started belittling me and defaming my character quite loudly on the phone.

    Here I am, a 53-year-old man hearing this and him telling me that I was lying and he had 3 empty bottles to prove he gave me 100 extra. He put me right into this is BS and I told Jeff that I was on my way down with what I had for ** pills which upon getting riled up, I took 2 more pills before going back to the Mexico Walmart to clear up what he was accusing me of. Well, I got there & my wife witnessed my taking 2 more before I left home because when I am stressed, my pain level increases badly.

    So I approached Jeffrey and in front of workers, I passed him the script and he counted the 141 I returned with because I only received 145 and the bottle was marked 168 with his auth. on it. Now as I have heard, when dispensing C-2 products, you work 1 bottle at a time and it was supposed to be counted 3 times as it goes that the pharmacist does initial count & fill then the certified Pharm. tech checks count, then back to Pharmacist for final approval and release. When Jeffry said to me that he had 3 empty bottles in the garbage, it had no bearing to me except for info. My wife has told me from her schooling. Going on, when I brought the pills back to the Pharm. Jeffrey, I passed and told him to count himself. And I was very upset over this situation and tearful because I cannot believe that I was being disrespected to the degree that I was in tears at 53 years old.

    First of all, I'm not a ** drug dealer or thief or liar as he was making me out to be right out in public. I was done & told Jeffry that he can take all and straighten up his mess which never should have happened. And I told him I did not want any unless I got my 168 minus the 4 I had taken and left the store in a very pissed off mood and felt like I was having the worst and unspeakable unprofessional treatment I have experienced in my life. For my true to life person, I have never had any dealings with the sale or possession of any narcotics that were not legally mine, and if that bottle had any sign of having more than usual fill every month, I would have returned it on the first time opening the bottle at home for I know what legalities even a pharmacist has on them with controlled substance.

    Well, I did return several days after the incident and got 41 pills returned to me. Although I am still the one that did not lose 123 pills of ** and have had to suffer with pain because of shortage of the product I did not dispense and now that Jeffrey has deemed to defame my character in this community just with his unprofessionalism. I still swear to my god that I am not in the wrong and this type of activity and irresponsibility by staff who have the capability of wrongfully dispensing wrong meds to a customer who trust the accuracy of your employees that could cause harm or death. We rely on the pharmacist's accuracy and knowledge to keep us safe and knowledgeable of stuff not to use with our prescriptions.

    I had a serious injury that left me disabled for over 13 years. I have not had what is known to most as normalcy as far as the limits I have in what I can do which only the relief I get from the prescribed C-2 meds and other maintenance meds. My health requires them, not by choice but need. So as I try to live life on a day by day basis, I get informed by my M.D. that they were informed that Walmart will not accept any future prescriptions of mine. Now my character has been even more degraded of the person I am.

    As I close this portion of my initial complaint, be it known that the only reason I returned to Pharmacist Jeff at Mexico, ME store is not one of any guilt on my part but out of sympathy of an older pharmacist who should lose their job, but I thought I would save him his embarrassment of him not knowing where that quantity of pills went and he decided to find a fall guy 7 hrs. after I left and went home. You know this is how I think. I live in a semi-small community where as with other communities also suffer with crime and drug problems. If and only if I had been the one who got the 100 extra pills in a controlled substance, it would scare the dickens out of me because I would have thought that because of my longevity on pain meds even though my having to use them is completely warranted by my chronic pain issues as I have been brought up with honesty and respect, my thought would have been this was someone's idea of a criminal sting to catch some drug dealer and if there were that many in my bottle, I would have never even waited 2 min. after opening bottle at home if it had looked like too many.

    I have a wife and 2 daughters and we have been married 19 of 23 years together and the only law I ever broke and learned from was driving while intoxicated 16 years ago. I value my family and even more my dignity as a human being who cares more about others before himself and that's why and only why I gave Jeffrey my bottle of 141 pills and left the store because I am not one to stand and be belittled over someone who is in your employ who does not follow proper dispensing. It sincerely concerns me of how many other miscounts or misfills this Pharmacist Jeffrey has done unseen or unknown without a complaint because of kind people who don't speak up.

    I am speaking up and if I, the victim of this mess, have to suffer because your corporation cannot have reliable people handling such controlled substances or proper count, I think it speaks for itself. If I do not receive a proper correction and apology to my medication, I will be forced to take actions necessary to right this wrong and defamation of my character corrected within reasonable time. I hear Atty. General's office don't take too kindly to pharmacists who wrongly fill and miscount medications.

When I went to pay, I was told it would be $10 for a 3-month supply. I had the pharmacist read the original prescription and he concurred it was a one-month supply and charged me $4. I asked if I would have to go through this next month and he assured me he changed it in the computer. This month, it happened again and when I complained, they told me this was what I paid last month. I told them I paid $4 and I was called a liar and to show them the receipt. This was at store number 1736 in Dover, DE. If they advertise it, then that's what they should be required to do, not treat a customer like a piece of crap.

    I have recently posted about a Walmart pharmacy and it reminded me of a time I used the pharmacy at a different store with consequences that made me very sick. I had major surgery wherein I had a bone missing from my femur. Long story short, I had cartilage grown in a lab and bone grafted from my shin to fix my femur. I was in horrible pain and had an absolutely horrible time in the hospital - so much so I had to file a complaint because the nurses were terrible one night and I cried all through the night; I was in so much pain (the nurse didn't show me how to properly work the Morphine machine). The pain was so bad my blood pressure skyrocketed and I had to stay longer in the hospital. When I was discharged, I was given prescriptions for pain medication, **.

    Since the ** is a controlled substance, I, myself, had to get out of the car and go into the pharmacy, after just having major surgery, so this was already an ordeal and I was still in pain. So I got the prescriptions filled and went home. The next day, I tried to eat and vomited everything. I couldn't eat at all. Finally, we took a closer look at the bottles and realized the ** was not filled as Extended Release, but rapid release though the directions on the bottle still said to take every 12 hours, as if the medication was Extended Release.

    I was taking ** every 4 hours and the ** every 12, so twice a day, I ended up taking them both at the same time. Because the ** was rapid release and not extended release, I got very sick(!) which meant I also couldn't continue taking just the ** because I couldn't keep it down. I was miserable. We called the pharmacy and the pharmacist said when they filled the prescription, they were unsure of how it was written (the writing was legible enough), but filled it anyway!

    Don't they have a responsibility or obligation to make sure they are filling the prescriptions correctly? So, I had to have the prescription rewritten and because it is a controlled substance, my father had to drive 45 minutes to the doctor's office, pick up the new prescription, and have it filled at the same pharmacy - along with an anti-nausea medication. It was the worst experience ever.

    I switched to Wal-Mart because their prices on medication are pretty unbeatable at any other pharmacy. I liked being able to fill medication and shop at the same time. However, three times they have filled my prescription wrong. I was taking a fast acting medication and my doctor switched it to a higher dosage extended release pill. I went online to fill my medication and saw there were no refills left, so I put in the request for Wal-Mart to fax my doctor the refill request. Two days later, I went in to pick up my medications and I am told Wal-Mart faxed my doctor but never heard back. So I called my doctor and they said they never received anything from Wal-Mart. My doctor sends refills to the pharmacy.

    I went to pick up my medication and it is the wrong medication again. This time, I paid $99 on my flexible spending card because I haven't met my deductible yet. So I went back to return it and figure out what went wrong. I was told the prescription wasn't correct and they would need to verify the right prescription with my doctor. Okay, that's totally understandable. So I proceeded to return my medication and I am given cash. I asked why the amount was not put back on the card and I am told, "Oh, we don't do that with flexible spending cards." Perhaps, you could make the consumer aware of this before you complete the transaction?! That information is not listed or posted anywhere. Their response, "Well, usually we just put the returned balance toward the purchase of the right medication."

    Again, perhaps you could have mentioned that prior to completing the transaction. I would have been fine with waiting to return the wrong medication until the correct medication was ready. Now, I have to deal with a huge hassle with my flexible spending company. So I called my doctor's office and asked them to fax over the correct prescription. I got a text message from Wal-Mart indicating my new medication is ready for pick up. Great! I went to pick it up about 4 hours later and guess what?! It wasn't ready. I also don't care for the "Are you going to pay for this?" look and comments I get from the pharmacy techs when picking up my expensive medication at the beginning of the year. Yes, one is $418 and another was $151 and another is $171 and I need all of them. How about you mind your own business? You see, I am enrolled in text alerts so clearly, I know the price of my medication before I get to the pharmacy.

    The pharmacy techs are so rude and there is one who looks like every minute she spends at work is pure hell. There is one very nice tech and it's my luck she is never working when I am there. I am transferring all of my medications to another Wal-Mart 30 minutes away. Hopefully, I will get better service there.

    "I look like a man from Georgia ..." or if MLK went into Walmart. That's what **, Pharmacy Manager at Walmart store #1927 in Macedonia, Ohio, told me when I tried to fill my prescription. I'm from Virginia; I'm not from Ohio. I work and live here and travel home alternating weekends, which means to sync getting my prescriptions (they can't be faxed in), it has to happen while I am in VA so I have them in advance at refill time. When I arrived, I asked if they had my meds in stock. After 5 CVS and even more phone searches, I was surprised that they indeed had it. Strangely, the pharmacy's clerk gave me the full price for the prescription as if to say they are expensive. I said, "I have insurance. Normally, folks ask that question first. I also have a prescription and you didn't ask that either."

    She took the prescription to the pharmacy manager and Ms. ** took one look and said, "No. You're from out of town. This could be fake." Having been through this before, I said, "Okay, I can see how that might be a problem. However, I've filled at Walmart before as well as others" and explained my working/living situation. She told me 3 others had gotten away with fake prescriptions and this could be one of them. She said a man "like me" from Georgia had presented her with a prescription and it was fake.

    I sympathized and said I understand that. Then I said, "Well besides this prescription, there's my doctor's website. It's not a small firm. His contact info is on the prescription. He's part of a professional network of doctors; he's not a private practice. I have my insurance, ID and I am willing to allow you to do due diligence and contact me after you've verified everything. It's late in the evening. I'm in no rush. Call me tomorrow or the next day. I'm probably already in your system if you would just look."

    She then smiled, creepily I might add, and said, "All that can be faked." The doctor's website, your insurance company and cards/IDs, and the phone number could be anyone. The doctor, if he's a real doctor, could be doling out fake prescriptions. I said even all the other doctors at the practice and all the nurses, Intuit Health, the physical address, Blue Cross BS? How about checking the state boards online (I looked her up on the license.ohio.gov site to be sure she was legit with her cash prices)? Nah, .gov sites can be faked too! She said, yep! I asked who her manager is and she said, "I am the boss. There is no one higher than me."

    She said something about the board advising against filling out of town prescriptions and scams. And if I was seeing a doctor from Ohio, she could tell the signature by looking at it. I said, "You know all the signatures of all the doctors in all of Ohio?" Even if I were prescribed in Ohio, I asked, "Would that automatically validate every prescription? You're telling me that only out of town folks are suspects? In a global economy, if you come from anywhere other than her backyard, you can't get your Rx filled?"

    And tossed my prescription back, said she wasn't going to fill it or make any attempt to validate. Just like that. She never looked at anything other than the color of my skin. Profiled and judged despite being a professional, well dressed male that more than likely just came from work, with valid proof of every single thing including the last prescriptions with all the power of the internet and the ability to show not only having purchased there but at other pharmacies in real time. I complained to the store manager because this didn't feel right. What if it was a medical emergency and I really needed my meds soon? Manager ** (on a name tag, no last name) went to talk to her. She came back saying she said no, took my info and that was that.

    Good thing Walgreens was across the street. They didn't have it, but the nice Dr. Jeff (name tag) called around and directed me to the location that had it and without pomp or circumstance, my prescription was filled in 5 minutes. Too bad they don't make you forget rude, discriminatory, piss poor treatment at Walmart pills. Heck, I even work for medical supply company. A big one too, but I look like a man from Georgia. I guess she didn't mean Dr. King. Thank God I don't resemble President Obama.

    I just moved to the area and am very disappointed in the Kennewick, Washington Walmart pharmacy. Firstly, all of the techs were chatting to each other and ignored me for quite a while when I brought my prescription to them. They said it would be 30 minutes. I shopped around and came back about 40 minutes later. They said it would be a few more minutes. 20 minutes later, I put myself back in line since they were more concerned helping other people. I asked where my prescription was and I had waited for over an hour! He said it would be a few minutes and I said I had already been told that 20 minutes ago. He then proceeded to go back with the pharmacists and chat again. He finally came back with my prescription. Need I remind you that the prescription just needed a label stuck to the package? No pills needed to be counted or anything. Totally lame. I will be transferring my prescriptions elsewhere.

    I have chronic worsening pain from psoriatic arthritis and bouts of pancreatitis. I'm on a monthly pain prescription and laws are strict with those. You get 30 days of med and can only get more every 30 days. So when I go to the pharmacy, I am out of medicine. It is a pain medicine I can't skip or stop taking suddenly without severe consequences, so I take my prescription to the Walmart pharmacy. I have no insurance so I go to Walmart. They do have the best price, but not exaggerating. 3 out of 5 times they do not have it. I have to go without that night and go through withdrawal several times. It was so bad I almost had to go to the emergency room (it was too late to go elsewhere and I can't afford). The staff at the Walmart pharmacy could care less. No help, no sympathy, nothing. The response is always "Sorry, it won't be in until..."

    Today, I went to fill mine (a Wednesday). "Sorry, we're out. It won't be in until Friday." So I'm supposed to just suffer for 2 days until they get more. Once I can understand, but it happens so many times and then I suffer. There is no sensitivity to that at all. In particular, Walmart in Latrobe, PA and Delmont, PA. How can 2 and 3 Walmart pharmacies all be out? I can't be the only one not getting their med either. If it's happening to me, it's happening to others and I am fed up! Not just inconvenience, but I've had to physically suffer and get sick all night until I get somewhere else the next morning and pay 4 times the price. Either that or suffer. Thank you Walmart!

    I'm reporting this to one of the vice presidents in charge of this kind of matter. Think it'll do anything? Why am I doubtful? If I had insurance, you can bet I would not go to a Walmart pharmacy. Why can't they keep their inventory? It's a very common pain medicine. Shame on you Walmart. Shame! They show only coldness. All the commercials about Walmart pharmacies on how they care, how one can depend on them, etc., what **. I'm going to email CNN as well. Maybe they can look into it and do a story about their ineptness.

    On December 5th, 2012, I left my doctor's office to go to the Wal-Mart Pharmacy in Fort Worth (#2978) to pick up my prescriptions that she just called in. When I got there, they told me that they prescriptions were not ready to be filled yet due to being recently filled. I contacted my insurance company, and they said what probably happened was that WM Pharmacy already filled them and was trying to charge my insurance a second time. My insurance company said that they had not been recently filled, just by that WM Pharmacy. Finally, after 2 hours of talking on the phone with my insurance company, Wal-Mart finally filled my prescriptions and I thought this was a one-time occurrence. Then it happened again today (01/10/2012) for another prescription. I have been contacting them to work out this problem since 9am this morning. It is now 1:43 in the afternoon. I just got off the phone with my insurance and they are supposed to be contacting Wal-Mart Pharmacy.

I explained I have verified this with my insurance company, and she said, "Well, sorry." I returned home, called the Rx number, and again verified he is on the policy and active and that the pharmacy is entering something wrong.

To make sure, prior to getting their call saying it was ready, I called my doc's office yesterday and she said it had been faxed to them. Finally the pharmacist called the doctor's office. They verified what I said and offered to re-fax it to Walmart.

    I waited for thirty minutes. Finally the prescription was ready, and then they ran my new insurance card and said it was invalid. I called Member Services from Walmart on my cell phone. Member Services called Walmart and told them my card was valid and I was indeed insured. The staff at Walmart could not figure out how to input the card, and I ended up having to pay cash. When I went to pay, the cashier was rude and yelled at me for using the wrong card scanner. I told her nicely "You are not a nice person!" It was a nightmare.

    I am not sure if this comment box has enough text to fit my complaint. Just overall, very, very unhappy with the whole entire management team at this store. Starting with the Pharmacy Dept., I have brought my complaints to the Pharmacist and to the Technicians only to get an “I’m sorry” with a look on their faces like they don't give 2 cents! As far as this pharmacy being consistent, they have managed to master it with my son. It's been clear over 5 times that they have managed to disappoint me with my son's prescriptions, who just turned 2 years old by the way.

    From giving him the wrong medication, to being told meds were ready to be picked up and when I arrived it had somehow had been out of stock? Just plain careless mistakes from what should be employees that are there to provide at the least, a decent quality of Customer Service to employees who should be ashamed of their quality of work. I have taken it as far as speaking with the store’s Asst. Mgr., who could only tell me that, that was all she had heard about, that the pharmacy dept. kept making mistakes and they were not being addressed. She did say that she was going to talk to the Sup. Pharmacist again. I’m not saying she did not, but as far as seeing improvements, I have not seen any. I have had to notify my son's physicians of his remaining refills to be called into the only other pharmacy in town.

    I really hate coming in here and putting them on blast like I have, but maybe now someone higher up will take these issues that this Wal-Mart is having and address them. This is a small town, which has been blessed with the oil boom business along with increase in population/customers, so I can see that they are too busy/overwhelmed. But as far as doing a job and who they are serving are the elderly and customers who don't have the means to go elsewhere, they must just continue to deal with this poor service, runaround, and mistakes. I really do hope that these issues get addressed. Thank you for allowing me to express my concern.

Yet again, the pharmacy personnel at the drop off window was rude and negligent about verifying the correct patient information. My son is six, therefore, an adult must drop off the prescription with a valid ID. My husband presented his license and the associate began logging my husband’s information as though he is the patient.

    Twice my husband explained that the prescription was for our son and that she needed his birthday. She argued with my husband and was flat out rude. It is frustrating to deal with the changes that the WM Corporation has implemented, but I sincerely hope that the level of customer service will get better. Customers can be difficult but it is beginning to get irritating to be greeted by associates that treat customers like they are interrupting. My point is it is their job to assist the customers above all else. I have worked for Wal-Mart as has my mother. I have shopped at Wal-Mart all my life as the first stop when I needed something.

    My husband was recently discharged from the hospital on multiple medications. Due to the number of scripts, the doctor said he would try to utilize as many of the $4 monthly or $10 for 3 months to lower the cost. That meant that the meds would be a 90-day supply. When I went to pick up the scripts, the pharmacy had not filled the meds according to the $10/3months, but instead had sent them through my insurance, making some of them $15 or more per month, when I was to actually get three months for $10. I asked that they take them off my insurance and fill them like they should have. I went back to get them and some of them have been filled correctly, but many have not. In fact, ** for nebulizer treatments were to be one ampule 4 times a day. I took home the meds they gave me (2 entire sackfuls.)

    When I went to fill his second week, I noticed that we had been given three boxes of 25 each, and then it said that the amount supplied was 225, none of which made any sense. Requiring 4 amps per day for 30 days is 120 ampules a month, times 3 (for a 90-day supply) would be 360 ampules. So again, I took all the meds back to the pharmacist. His excuse was that the physician did not fill out the scripts right. He held up a large piece of paper about 15 feet from me, and said, "What do you want the 1 to mean?" I could neither see nor read the script, if it was one, as the office had faxed the scripts because none were controlled. He told me that each amp had 3 CCs in it so that meant the amount filled was 225. I explained that I had been there 3 times already, and that the meds had been filled incorrectly, that I had neither a 30- nor 90- day supply as 4 amps per day were needed, so there would be 120 or 360. He continued to ignore the fact that it was wrong and blamed the physician, saying he would have to contact the doctor to get what "I wanted it to be".

    I told him for the 5th time that I did not want it, the doctor said to get 90 days' worth at a time for $10. He simply refused to admit he was wrong. I took the boxes as labeled to three other pharmacies, and they agreed that it had been filled incorrectly, yet I was humiliated by the pharmacist and treated like I had made up what I wanted. I did not write the scripts, let alone fill them, but paid for all of them. Now, I will not be able to fill the scripts for 3 months, and our insurance changes next month due to their mistake of filling it for some obscure amount. In addition, the scripts all had 3 refills as they were to last for a year. I have paid for 90 days' worth and received 18 days' worth. I am tired of this pharmacy. It is never their fault, always the insurance, the physician, etc. I even took my receipts and all the paperwork that I was given.

    So now of the 30 scripts, I have 20 with 90 days' worth, 7 with 30 days' worth, and 1 with 18 days' worth. Then there were several over-the-counter meds as well. It is too much to deal with. In addition, my daughter picked up an antibiotic for her daughter, and was charged $240. The neighbor got the same amount of the same meds on the same day, and was charged $4. Why? She did not have insurance. If the meds were $4 for one person, they should be $4 for everyone. I have repeatedly told them not to put those through my insurance to make me pay up to 80 times the amount as others.

A few weeks later, I got the other prescription. The one where I got six and then the 24 it took up 2 refills because of time line and now I will have to go to doctor before the new year to get new refills. Called today and found out they left one of my refills off of the meds I picked up a week ago. I am changing back to Walgreens and pay the $9.95 for generic meds.

    I stated to ** that I would call the 1800 #. She was quick to grab the phone and said, “I will dial it for you” like she was not scared for me to call. I didn’t want her to be scared but she felt like she could take control of every action that goes on. She kept stating, “This is my pharmacy and what I say goes and if you don’t like it, then go to Walgreens.” I couldn’t believe she said that to me so now at that point I was so mad, but I still kept asking her why she was playing doctor/god/ that no one mattered but her. I have been going to that pharmacy for 8 years as well as all my family and now my family is starting to see that she is treating everyone of my family members differently. I think she is maybe new to that store. I don’t know but she has stated, “I will not fill any of your prescriptions at all.” So I said ok and I told her, “Can I have my scripts back?” She said she would call me when it’s time to get my scripts and that she wanted to call my doctor to see what and why I was on meds. I told her, “Why, when you are not going to fill it?” She said, “I’m the pharmacist. Don’t tell me what I can do and can’t do."

    And on top of that, Walmart might want to do a drug test on her. Every time I see her and she sees me, she starts laughing like someone that works with her said a joke. That’s not the case. She is doing that cause she hates me or one of my family members. I don’t know and I would like to know why. But again I have been promised a call from the head boss with no luck. It’s like saying, “We don’t stand behind her actions.” Well, I can tell someone needs to talk to ** ASAP or this will keep going on. Plus, she keeps asking me questions that are not her business. She said, “If you are lying about anything, I can find out.” I told her, “Who are you and what do you stand for? You are nothing to me and you will never be anything with how you treat people."

    I’m so used to smiling faces at Walmart Pharmacy but I can’t get that anymore. I feel scared for some reason to go there now. So, I have to play peekaboo with her just to see who is working that day and if she is there, I leave, which shouldn’t be that way. But she makes me feel weird and I should have to feel like that every other pharmacist there are so nice and kind. But this lady ** isn't Walmart material at all. I am asking for someone to please go talk to her to see the problem. I will be going to Walmart Pharmacy in 2 or 3 days and I hope that she has a different approach.

    My girlfriend took a prescription for a vitamin wafer to Walmart in Dixon, IL. It was for 8 weeks, and they filled it for 4 weeks and said for her to come and get the rest in 4 weeks. She needs to take one tomorrow Oct 30th, so she called from work to get it refilled and they told her they were out and would have tomorrow between 10:00 and 11:00 am. No problems. I picked her up from work at 3:15 and went out for dinner. When we got home, there was a message on our phone for her to call Walmart. She did and they told her they couldn't get it and they weren't making it anymore. She would have to go to Walgreens, which is on the other side of town, and it would be a couple of dollars more plus gas. Why didn't they just fill the whole prescription at the beginning? I have had problems with them before and had to call Arkansas. These Walmart pharmacies should be closed and other pharmacies should be used. She is not taking this medicine anymore; she refuses.

    I am writing the Corporate office at Walmart in reference my visit to my local Mt. Pleasant, PA store. In addition to this complaint addressed to the corporate office, I will also be directing an email to the management team at the store level. On October 24, 2012, I visited my local store to drop off a written prescription to be filled around 9:00 am. I was the first person to be waited on in the "Drop Off LIne". This first interaction was extremely unpleasant.

    I transferred an Rx about 2 months ago that had 4 refills from Walgreens. I filled the last refill on this transferred Rx on 9/28/2012. I called on 10/22/2012 to ensure I didn't run out of medication. I do not have health insurance and I purchase them at full price. I was told on 10/22/2012 on the phone that this Rx was too early to fill and I would be able to pick up on 10/25/2012. Since I was dropping of a paper prescription on 10/24/2012, I requested the refill to be done at the same time to avoid coming back the next day. I was told in a very unfriendly way by the customer service person "no". I understand as a customer there are policies and procedures in this department. I was not upset with the answer of "no." I was taken aback and upset with the way the employee delivered the message. I was told to come back in 30 minutes to pick up the paper Rx. I said okay. I decided to not make a complaint about that encounter after I walked away and proceeded to shop for items while waiting.

    I came back in 30 min. A second customer service rep attempted to check me out, but the medication was in process of being filled behind her. She was very professional and courteous. She verified my information and pulled up the active Rxs I have in Walmart's system. She explained out loud, "You have 2 Rx, one of which looks to be too early to fill and the 2nd one will be ready in 5 min." I agreed to wait and asked to see if she could get the 1st Rx refilled since she brought it up. She was willing to offer to see if the pharmacist could honor my request, unlike the 1st customer service person. However, when she attempted to ask pharmacist, the previous customer service agent overheard and yelled to her "No, I already told him no." It was at this point my experience at your pharmacy began to go from unpleasant to unacceptable.

    A 3rd customer service person or tech then got involved. She was behind the pharmacy bench next to the pharmacist on duty. She appeared to have pulled up my information. In an annoyed tone, she explained to me why the script could not be filled. Keep in mind, I was asking to have my refill 4 days before the last fill, so it was 26 days into a 30-day prescription. I asked why the request of getting filled was not an option. She began raising her voice at this point, "because it's the law." Unsure as to what law she was referencing, I asked her to be more specific. She continued to shout at me. I did not raise my voice nor say anything to her to be treated so poorly. I was in process of spending $100 on a prescription and deserve to be treated with respect. I have never been treated so poorly at a point of sale retail store.

    The pharmacist then got involved in conversation by saying, "It's up to me and my decision and you cannot get it filled" without looking at my record. I was checking out at this point with the Rx I came in with. I asked the customer service person checking me out how to go about a complaint process. Before she could respond, the 2nd tech who yelled at me started to yell again, explaining the policy and "law". I had to explain I wasn't asking about the refill but instead, about filing a complaint. She then said "go ahead, complain." I was so upset. I had no choice to walk away. The clerk who was checking me was attempting to wrap up my sale and had a hard time due to the fact the 2nd tech was shouting at me and talking over her to me.

    I proceeded to leave store when I saw a manager. I pulled him over and explained my situation and his name was Daryl. He offered to speak with the 2nd tech right away and to explain to the manager of the pharm. dept. He seemed concerned and handled my situation professionally.

    I will say that I decided to not shop at any Walmart. I will voice my dissatisfaction with every person I know and attempt to persuade other people in the future not to shop at Walmart, because I really am not sure how to make this right. I feel like even though I was very loyal to Walmart and spend in excess of $500 - $800 month at my Mt. Pleasant Walmart, I will be just another customer who was unhappy and there will be someone to take my place. I would hope the employees who were involved in this experience get some training on handling people more professionally. My health and wellness, not to mention my patronage, require a level of respect and kindness.

    My son is in kindergarten and in order for him to focus to get through his day, he requires **. This is a medication for ADHD. On Friday, we picked up his refill prescription slip and dropped it off at the Walmart pharmacy in Owasso, OK. My husband was told it would take 20 minutes, I then received a call stating that they did not have the medication in stock but it would be in by Tuesday. I told them that would be fine. My husband called Wednesday to find out if he could pick it up. We were then told that the medication did not come in. My husband called again on Wednesday evening to be sure that the medication did not come in, again he was told that they did not have it. On Thursday morning, once again my husband called WM pharmacy and was told that they do not have the medication.

    I received a call from my son's teacher explaining that he is and has been having difficulties focusing on activities. I explained that we were trying to get his prescription filled but that WM was awaiting their shipment. He cannot get his homework done. He cannot control his behavior. My son genuinely has to have this medication. Now it is Thursday afternoon, my husband just got off the phone with WM pharmacy and they are now telling us that they had the medication and that they filled it, left us a message, then returned the medication to the shelf. Neither of us has received a call. We have been in touch with the WM pharmacy everyday and to top this off, they are now saying that there is no date on the prescription slip from the doctor. I have used WM pharmacy for years and I know that when you drop off the slip, they are to verify who is dropping it off, the patient information, and the information on the prescription slip including the dates. This is something that we go through every single month. This is not just poor customer service. This is affecting my child.

    Walmart has really fallen to new lows in the last couple of years and I am beginning to understand why people are starting to refuse to shop there. Furthermore, the values that Walmart were originally founded on have been abandoned. Walmart was a name that you could once trust for your everyday needs. Now, you can count on having a bad experience every time you enter those doors.

    My elderly mother was prescribed an antibiotic by her dentist for a tooth infection. My mother went to pick up the prescription from Wal-Mart located in Providence, Rhode Island on Silver Spring Street. When I went to visit her, I noticed a very large bottle of pills on the kitchen table. I did an internet search on the med (** 100mg) and found out it was used to treat seizures, not tooth infections! My mother had already taken two pills! Upon further investigation, it was found that Wal-Mart gave my mother someone else's medication! We returned the meds to Wal-Mart and were given a $25 gift card for the potential dangerous mistake!

    My mother was very distraught by this potentially dangerous mix up! She was visually shaking and crying! We did not know if there could be an adverse reaction as my mother takes other medications! We contacted her doctor and were told to watch for any signs of significant distress such as vomiting, light headiness, headaches, unusual body pains, etc. Thankfully, she did not experience any of those symptoms! But she has had trouble sleeping with episodes of nightmares associated with this incident!

    If I had not checked the medication, my mother would have most likely taken all 120 pills! Who knows what problem(s) my mother may have experienced if she finished the bottle of **! Or, if my mother was given a more toxic medication by mistake! I understand people make mistakes, but when it concerns people's health and wellness, there should be a redundant system of checks to be sure this potentially dangerous mistake does not happen! The local news station has been contacted concerning this potentially dangerous prescription mix up.

    My daughter is on ** 50mg for headaches, and because it's working for her, her doc made the decision to up the prescription. Because I had the medication filled at Walmart in the past, I chose to go back. When I got there, I was told that it would be 30-45 minutes and the Rx would be complete. When I went back, I was told that the medication could not be filled because we had picked up a prescription on the 9th of this month (which we hadn't - she was completely out of the med when I got the new script) and that under the new Rx, she should have enough until the 23rd. When I asked if this was our insurance saying this, he stated that it wasn't and that it was their policy. I then asked to see the record of where I signed for the medication on the 9th, and he said that I had no right to see that information.

    I told him that she was completely out of medication and that I wanted to get the Rx back to take to another pharmacy. He grabbed the Rx and got a red Sharpie and wrote "Do not fill" in big letters on the Rx. I told him it wasn't professional of him to do it, and he told me he's the manager and that he can do what he wants. He also said he wasn't comfortable with filling the medication because he believed that the doctor was giving her way too much a day - she takes 4-5 a day as needed every 6 hours. I asked him to please call her doctor, and he said that he would but that he still wouldn't fill it because he didn't think she needed it. He went on to say that the State of Colorado monitors ** dispensing. I asked him if it was recorded in the PCMP, and he said that it wasn't because Colorado law doesn't view ** as a narcotic but that it is in two states but not at the federal level.

    While at the pharmacy, I pulled up the state of Colorado prescribing and pharmacy law and showed him that there was nothing in there about **. He told me that it's not in the law but that they do watch it. Needless to say, I told them to delete my daughter's profile because after that, I wouldn't fill for my dog at Walmart.

I finally went into the store. The lady at the pharmacy counter told me that the person in front of me at the drive-thru asked her to get some items for her that were not prescriptions. Please make prescriptions just for prescriptions. They can check the other items out through the regular checkers and have them add their prescriptions.

    In a time when large box stores, like Wal-Mart, offer sanitary wipes to wipe the handles of shopping carts, it is ludicrous to me that the pharmacy counter doesn't offer hand sanitizer for credit card customers. Of all the people who make purchases at the pharmacy counter, some are sick with illnesses that may be passed on to the next customer who touches the pen device that the sick person has used. Germ transfer to a pen can't be stopped, but the pen could be wiped or hand sanitizer can be available so that another's germs will not pass on an illness.

    In Bedford Park, Illinois, I have brought this issue up to the technicians and the pharmacists. I have gotten polite smiles. I have been told that when the new pharmacy quarters are opened, they will have sanitizer. The new pharmacy has now been open for a while. There is no sanitizer, and certainly, no one is cleaning the pen device. I should point out that when a person takes out a credit card and slides it through the machine, germs are deposited on the card and likely transferred to the machine. So the next person to slide a card through the machine may get some of those germs as well. I don't have a clue whether the alcohol-based disinfectants would do damage to a credit card, but I would think it to be a good policy to wipe my card with sanitizer as well. It's just that it's not available unless I carry my own.

    The last thing I want to have happen is to carry a personal-sized sanitizer in my pocket when I go into the store. I pull it out of my pocket, use it on my hands and my credit card, put it back in my pocket, and have some security guard think that I just shoplifted the sanitizer. And because I purchased it another time, I couldn't present proof that I had purchased it on a previous visit. Is this paranoia? I don't think so. I just want hand sanitizer at the pharmacy checkout for a good reason. Thanks for reading.

    I stopped to buy an antihistamine at my neighborhood Wal-Mart center. I am unfamiliar with this pharmacy. However, there were 5 or 6 people behind a counter and a lady standing on the outside of the counter. I moved to the counter to simply ask where to look for the intended product when a pharmacy worker snapped, "Get behind the line!" I had no idea what she was saying as she was facing the rear of the pharmacy, and she was hanging sacks of some sort. She was mumbling. I said, "Excuse me?" She snapped again. Finally, the lady customer laughingly pointed to an obscure 2 foot by 1 inch faded line four feet behind me. I asked the employee if she was talking to me, and she finally turned to my direction, and nastily said, "Yes!" Up to that very moment, I had no idea that I had broken any national security laws or federal mandates. She said, "Get behind the line!" I was embarrassed, somewhat confused, and beginning to feel an angry response in myself.

    I wanted to leave, but was frozen. I did not really want to do business with people such as this lady, but I was there, and it appeared that I would be next. The employee mumbled again, something in my direction. I asked again if she was talking to me, and she indicated she was. I asked what she was indicating and she said I could now approach the counter. I did so. I clearly asked for the product I wanted. The employee asked if I had ever purchased anything from their pharmacy and I said no. It should have been clear to her that I was new to their pharmacy and did not know their rules nor their procedures. The woman curtly took my ID, my money, handed me the product, and was on about her business. No sorry for the embarrassment or mix up or anything. I asked for the pharmacy manager and was told he was out. I was not given a card and or any information on how to contact him.

    In retrospect, the employee could have easily handled my situation in a number of different ways, none that would cause the embarrassment and confusion that did ensue. I want a remedy to this experience. I want an apology at minimum. It is interesting to note that no one of the other employees in the pharmacy at that time even lifted their eyes to see what was going on. Certainly, none of them offered to step in and assist. This is what you have become. Do I believe that I will even receive an acknowledgment? I am not betting on it. I do want a response.

    I've had so many bad experiences with Wal-Mart pharmacy. I've just decided to stop going there. The only reason I continued this long is because they are so convenient to my home but it's really not worth it. They have poor, rude staff (and the manager allows it) and give out wrong prescriptions (if they can find it at all). I dropped off a prescription over a month ago. I gave them the bottle with one refill left and they were supposed to transfer it from another pharmacy. Well, one month later and still no prescription, I called them on my way home from work one afternoon. Lo and behold, the person told me to hold and just hung up on me.

    So since I was near the neighborhood store, I decided to just go in and see what the deal was. I found the girl (Shasta) who had hung up on me waiting on someone else. I was furious! Then, she got smart with me (a customer) and told me I needed to talk to the manager. Well, Jonathan was no better because he is the one I'd talk to about it about a month ago and he did not follow up. At first, they couldn't even find my prescription and kept asking me questions about it. Then they finally claimed to have found it in their computer and asked me to wait 5 minutes. By that time, I was tired and too frustrated to wait so I told them I'd be back. Well, what do you know? When I went back the next day, they still ended up giving me the wrong prescription. Where in the ** do they find these pharmacists? I think they are all right out of PCI.
