I would like to discuss a serious matter that took place at one of your pharmacies. It happened around 2:30pm on 9/17/19. You need to review the security cameras regarding what took place. I spoke to the store manager by phone who had the pharmacist call me and apologize. However, the pharmacist lied about her behavior and what she said to me and how she...

I ordered an item online from the Walgreens site and received an email telling me I could pick it up. 5 days later I went to the store to pick it up. I went to the photo section and as I waited on the line I noticed that the associate was being very courteous and respectful to the woman in front of me. When she was done and I approached the counter, hi...

Walgreens employees

I have been on hold now for one hour and twelve minutes. No one will answer the phone at the pharmacy dept or the front of the store. I had a ride scheduled to pick up my inhaler and now I can't go because I don't know the status of my prescription. This is ridiculous. I am enclosing a screenshot of the actual call and how long I have been left on hold. He recording keeps saying there is only one call ahead of me so unless there is absolutely no one working then they are deliberately leaving calls unanswered

The pharmacy at this location has lost, misused and not filled prescriptions as authorized by various medical providers on multiple occasions for myself, my spouse and my children and grandchildren. This is a repeated offense. This is fraudulent. They put prescriptions on hold due to insurance, of course, but then put them on file even after multiple phone...

On Tuesday August 27th at around 8:40am the ASMT D got into with a customer for shoplifting. She escalated the situation by trying to grab the items from him. They then began cussing at each other and almost fist fighting. That is inappropriate and unprofessional in the store while there's customers watching. I know the store doesn't tolerate this type of...

My insurance company contacted those in the path of Hurricane Dorian and said it was advisable to pick up meds early. When I called Walgreens Pharmacy, I was told that I could not pick up meds until Sunday. I have three recordings from Walgreens saying that my prescriptions were delayed because of an insurance problem. My insurance company says that is not...

Walgreens pharmacy

I was at the drive thru and was told by the pharmacy employee that my medicine would be ready in twenty minutes and sher gave me the price. When I returned, I was told that there was no medicine ready for me, I needed a prior authorization, nobody knew where that price came from, and nobody even knew who I was talking about. I have never worked for Walgreens but I'm due there was dinner type of sign off or credentialing on my account to inform the next person that looks st the account. I am extremely upset at the way my concerns were handled and that nobody was even able to help me. My concerns were not answered, and I have called the location several times and nobody has answered. It seems that everytime I try to get a narcotic filled, I go through some sort of challenge. This will be the very last prescription I will be filing at Walgreens. This is clearly unacceptable.

My doctor called in my prescription on August 20, and apparently they lost it. They said they had a new pharmacist that day. So, I called my Dr. again told them what happened and they sent it in again. I never received it. Why didn't they contact the Dr. on the 20th when it got lost. I am stunned at how inept these employees are. They didn't apologize for their and really didn't seem to care at all.

This pharmacy is THE busiest in the chain and is totally understaffed. Walgreen's telephone system is a huge waste of my time. When one asks to speak to a pharmacist you're never transferred to the store...other little helpers outside of the pharmacy take the calls and cannot help you with a Question about an RX or a delivery. Those you hire to help the...

Walgreens pharmacy /pharmacist assistant/counter help

Walgreens has bought RiteAid out & started out by telling Folks :"Go somewhere else if you don't like it[thier service & attitude]
Been going to this pharmcy since 1997 when Rite Aid bought up all the local Pharmacies to kill thier competition
Now Walgreens is doing the same
Tried to fill a RX & didn't even get home from the DR. visit before Walgreens snotty employee left a terse msg on my machine to :"Call Walgreens"

So I called & this female says:"You know that medication you want? We don't have it."

So I say: "Well order it & I'll pick it up, that's the usual procedure or has been since 1997"

"Well we are waiting for a certificate from NYState "
{ME}: "Well I'm not due to pick up for 6days, by then you have to be able to rectify this situation, especially since LAST MONTH you gave me some song& dance about the same nonsense"

and she comes back at me with :
"Maybe YOU should call NYState up tell them ".

"Not my place to get your 'certificate' or WETH it is"

"Yelling at me isn't going to get this done"

"I'm not 'yelling at you...if I WAS yelling at YOU, believe me you'd KNOW".

"Maybe you should go elsewhere..."

"I can't, Walgreens bought up all the competition like RiteAid did,
I'm not driving 30+miles to some pharmacy IDK, when YOU are 2minutes from my Home, I go to Dr.s appointments days before my RX is due, specifically to avoid any nonsensical, unnecessary screwups like this one you are trying to pull here, know what I mean?"

and she just went on & on getting more disrespectful & nasty as she went on

I called the Dr. office & they said this has been going on all day & the other Patients all said this walgreens employee was nasty to them too

WHY does walgreens do this when sick people depend on a pharmacy to get thier needed meds?

Walgreens drive through

Why are people allowed to set at the drive through window and wait for a prescription to be filled? I am sick of waiting In line behind these people. It's call drive through for a reason. Have them return to get their prescription and stop holding up the line!? Your workers should be telling them to come back in so many minutes to get the prescription. Move the line along!

Walgreens alcohol purchase policy

The "i.d. everyone" policy is costing you business and costing you loyalty. I wonder if you know how much business this is costing you. Your competitors are right down the street and are consumer-oriented. that's where my business-- including my pharmacy business -- will go from this day forward. You think you solved a problem. It's cost you customer loyalty.

Walgreens your automatic text reminders

I'v been purchasing my medication from Walgreens for well over 15 years. I am very frustrated with your company. I get alerts to an excessive degree... reminders to refill my least of importance medications ... Why isn't the most important medication to me ever reminded...that I need a script. I have ADHD..I am very forgetful..that's one reason why I take Vyvanse. I take Vyvanse... every month for 30 days. This is the same medication that I have taken month after month... year after year. And every month this medication is delayed...your pharmacy runs out and I have to make several trips to the pharmacy. It shouldn't make a difference whether this medication is a controlled substance. It's a text..or an automated call... This is not customer service...Perhaps you can make a useful suggestion on how to get this accomplished. I'm temped to take my business elsewhere...
Thanks

My medicine that is prescribed for very specific purposes and debilitating symptoms has been cut with everything from nail polish, bath salts and estrogen among other things and dispensed through Walgreens on greenwood avenue and Dixie Highway in Louisville Kentucky. Not only is my medicine cut and compounded with poisonous substances I am unsure they are even dispensing legally.

I am a regular Walgreens customer - at least 2-3 times per week. At approximately 4 pm today, I purchased many items that included alcohol. The male cashier stated he didn't "feel comfortable" selling me the alcohol because he "felt" I was intoxicated. I was shocked and offended. (As a side note, I just had back surgery and walk with a compromised...

I have been buying Walgreens Nutritional Shakes for years specifically the one compared to Ensure. Then I found that after trying the one compared to Boost that not only was it the best tasting but it also has the lowest sugar and highest protein content.

I left my job during break to use my EBT card for purchase. My card would not work swiping in the machine so I asked the associate if she could manually input my number since I was on my break from Department of Children and Family services. She told me no she could not do that. I said that is remotely impossible I work for DCF and it could be done. So I...
