i hate walgreens pharmacy

They check on you every five minutes. My parents are starting to need a lot of important meds and the pharmacist knows them well so will give them meds without a script in an emergency and things like that. I suppose pharmacies are all like that now, not places you feel like they know you. What fools, now they have lost half of their Prescription sales! (The psych triage nurse and I do not get along and I refuse to see her in person. She was supposed to be at 2.5 mg. For 2 months, she was taking double the meds. Pharmacist told me that He has to contact my doctor prior accepting my prescriptions. It apparently does not update the stores contemporaneously. "If you sell this candy bar, you get a nickel!" Pharamacists should be the second line of defense, not the first! I hope someone can do something and soon. They want their customers to be happy, so they know they need to keep lots of employees. None of the other employees read the employee handbook so they had no idea. All I know is that I will NOT patronize their shit pharmacy that I spend thousands of dollars a year at. SUCKS. I'm so sorry. They lovingly put me in with a half-retarded resident that will leave in 2 months like always. Almost 4 hours after my Doc called in a prescription Its still NOT READY. Please try to be thankful for this convience. Its definitely illegal to deny people breaks. its terrible. ComplaintsBoard.com is a leading complaint resolution website on the Internet. One night, I searched my room to no avail. Bitch. I will not shop there again because every time I enter those stores, they make it very unpleasant experience. As we were leaving she got loud an said sarcastically you all have a nice day extremely rude. I had to open a workers comp claim due to a dog biting me at my weekend job. . With that being said, Walgreens is just a terrible place to get your meds. It is so frustrating that people I should be able to trust cannot get their heads sorted. Avoid like the plague!!!!!!!!!!! I decided to give the mail order another try. Because of Covid I am not picking up all of my parents' medications. Refill prescriptions online, order items for delivery or store pickup, and create Photo Gifts. Yes, when I filled them, I sat and watched a movie. Butand this is a big but the pharmacy staff has always impressed me by being helpful, cooperative, and smart. Stood forever in a line that didn't move, trying not to pass out, all the while listening to a true-blue BITCH of a pharmacy clerk YELLING at elderly ppl for waiting till last minute to call in for their refills. It will help lower your stress about dealing with the nurse and dodging appointments and getting refills on time. The pharm told me, "we're allowed to use the medication again if the consumer doesn't pick it up." do you have any idea what that did to my confidence? When they got to me they said the same thing " your insurance doesn't cover this medicine" that will be 200 dollars! Where is humanity? There's already a sign up saying the sale price but you have to put another sticker UNDERNEATH the sign that's already up because there's no room to put it. Walgreens confirmed to USA TODAY it launched the pilot with Cooler Screens in 2019, and the technology is currently available in less than 700 stores. I feel so much better since I quit that medicine! But some pharmacist don't care that much about controlled substances, that is probably who filled your script with-out verifing it. I had to insist on it. So, now it is Saturday and I have to wait until Monday to get a refill. I saw the pharmacy man working at another pharmacy and he said he was glad to quit over what they did to me and report the facts. Probably not. The tech looked right through the window at me and walked away. Same employees, but now everything royally sucks all the time. HELLOOOOOOO!!!!!! She also says we will look at the tape to see then who picked it up! Very short. CVS and Walgreens employees hate when you leave your receipts all around the store because you think other people can use them: Walgreens corporate, pull your heads out of your [censored]! That is their license and lively hood. This all should just be automated at most pharmacies to save everybody involved from immense suffering. I went in to get another emergency supply while they get doctor auth. leadinglady, December 15, 2008 in The Health Care System Sucks! I'm standing there bald from chemo, covered in red spots, holding onto the counter to stop myself from falling over, and they tell me they can't fill my prescription because they have to call the doctor first--on a Friday at 5:30. Please DO NOT add attachments that contain your or other peoples personal information, if you dont want it to be visible to the public. Edit: It looks like the posts I was referring to are no longer hereso this post probably doesn't make very much sense. Use GoodRx to look up prices and discount coupons at Walgreens Pharmacy and save up to 80% on your prescriptions. I wouldnt be able to use it." The pharm never seemed to understand that there was anything wrong with their violating the man's privacy. It's not the new person's fault for breaking stuff either. This sounds stupid because it is. He was fired over the missing tape. I really hope by "medicine clinic" you don't mean emergency room. How about hiring more people and paying them properly! Sue,I DID! On top of that, it blocks the prices of the other products below and above the signs! If the script is a controlled substance then the laws are different in every state. The app is useless! It is no different than making sure you have insulin if you have diabetes. I went there at noon, and the male pharmacist working said they did not have Fentanyl. Always leaving costumers with out medication. I take generic Mucinex which is guaifenesin. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Those are the kinds of prices I like to see. You got your emergency 5 day supply. Ive had a manager tell me that I was hurting their profits by using coupons to get products for almost nothing. Now, the official word is that he was having an affair - but unofficially, the city all believes that its because she decided to kill herself after waiting forever for a prescription that they never got around to filling - likely busting a cap in his malingering [censored] for making her wait . She got nasty and said come back at 2pm. Walgreens is clearly a pimp. Pharmacists can't suck Rx's from doctors. Are you still on 30 mg of Paxil, 5 mg of Zyprexa?" But it won''t be ready until tomorrow. PS, as a nurse I've been on the "other side" myself, and have dealt with ppl without having to insult their intelligence or pontificate to them, and guess what, it really works!!! It was a different person that asked me what I needed and I said I wanted to pick up my Rx. I always see customers shaking their heads with disbelief, and I ask myself why do we go through walgreens for prescription refills? In the like 8 years I've been getting my script there. I have to believe that anyone with any influence at Walgreens does not read any of these complaints / complements. The ham will not fitlol. Big box was too far away and I was tired. They have stolen my benzos and committed insurance fraud and shorted my husband by two thirds of his inhalers putting him in the hospital with an exacerbation! Funny, I NEVER have problems at CVS, which will get all of my business. They must have minium wage pharmacist as none of them ever stays! Look how much they saved by not training the new hires AND the managers correctly. They want you to mop, take out the trash, stock the shelves, put up signs, help the customers and run photo. Everytime I go there they are so slow they don't even know much either. I hate filling them. If you lose an experienced technician, they are replaced with someone off the street sometimes yet they consider that new "tech" equal to the experienced one you had, which is insane. I said no, it says Walgreen Nasal Spray. How many people overpay and under utilize their health care coverage because sleazy companies like Walgreens!? Track order status for you and your family. Ugh! I wanted garlic powder and onion powder, but there was no onion powder. I use some very inexpensive ones from Walmart. A Walgreen pharmacist in Bend, Oregon had to have me tell her Fentanyl (pain med) could be refilled. Let me talk to Dr. You see a note in the office from the store manager saying to the assistant manager "Tony - do this and stock the cooler" and then it says "Amanda - do this this and that." My insurance company uses only Walgreens. I reached out the corporate offices. I had a third shift person tell me that this happened to her. PS: You are going to discuss that antibiotic with your doctor, right? The only people who get any recognition are the management in forms of bonuses that no one else sees. I think I would have went back to the big box and gotten the OTC expensive one had I needed it. Punch out and tell SM the step 3 above. I asked for my refill of a albuterol for a neubilizer. Press J to jump to the feed. Not only a new person hired, two new people hired within the month. I think that twat needs medication her damn self!) My wife and I had some issues and I was not able to hold an erection and i went to order my viagra not only did they make me wait for 8 hours, but they gave me the wrong medication. Walgreens ranks 15th among Vitamins & Supplements sites. Wegmans' number one priority is customer service. Walgreens pharmacy is the laziest, rudist most non professional employees I ever had to deal with. They have never gotten a prescription right! I'm almost certain they should have been $5.55 PER POUND for the markdown, but each package was marked $5.55. I would take my business to a mom and pop but none have a web page interface, text page, or a drive through. Every time I go there they dont have my meds in stock. There is only one employee covering the front desk line (6-10 deep), the drive thru (5 car minimum) and the telephones (at least 10 on hold). It also takes time to bring the new stuff in and, in the mean time, the customers are very unhappy that photo is down. Pharmacy's fault. So keep up with regular appointments. I have so many bad stories to share. I hate that some don't open easily enough. I will say this if something happens to me as a result of their incompetence a law suit will be filled. I am so irritated with this! I hate getting shots but the pharmacists who administer the shots are always professional and give them painlessly. They have been horrible for the last 6 months. How come they gave me an emergency supply 30 days ago but today could not? You have to take your vacation days before and after holidays, even assistant managers. I cannot imagine how older people or less cognizant people ever get help from Walgreens. I do take things that are not the brand I have used. I went to another Walgreens and i got my meds without calling my doctor (it took 3 other pharmacies to find all of medications). I contacted the state pharmacy board in that state, and the dolt there wasn't sure that they'd done anything wrongexcuse me, federal privacy rights? You said something about the triage nurse. I was recently exposed to covid and had to take the mandatory 5 days quarantine until I got the results for my covid test as negative and my then broke my tooth off because it's old and messed up. Then 2 days later I get the rest of the prescription. I have no complaints. Can you imagine how it feels to have your spouse so Ill and you are lied to about pain meds? You could have stolen the pad and be writing your own scripts. Instead of losing out on having two people work photo for 1-2 weeks, they lose thousands more when the new person breaks something, has photo business non-existent for 2-3 days and the cost of having a technician come out PLUS the new parts. Otherwise, I might use them because it would just be easier for daily use. I was also told they don't know when they will open their pharmacy and the problem with that is if they already filled my scripts my doctor can not send them through again. I just want you to know that you're not alone in how you feel regarding our pharmacy, however, if you would like to forward your feelings onto the company heads, send email to walgreens.com or ask the store manager for the number to the district office of your state. One day cancer may come for them, and when it does I hope that they are denied medically necessary pain medication just because it is a weekend. I will reiterate the fact I cannot take it. I had to print out the store policy for breaks and bring it in and show them. We expect to receive the J&J vaccine and begin administering it in the coming days. The problem with Walgreens, as with many companies, is that they only care about money. Ghetto! The list goes on but those are the most egregious. I have gone there twice after getting a text, and signing in online under prescription status showing ready for pickup. Not at Walgreens, for sure. Best case scenario, they become assistant manager after three years of busting their butt and appeasing the various personalities of management. I always pee on company time. At long last, the bitch called my name to pick up my meds, which required waiting in the same fucked up line all over again. People pull up and start buzzing like crazy. Well another post saying how horrible their pharmacy is ran. She says smugly. It is the one a friend gave me. I hate Walgreens. The transfer pharmacy had 3-month prescription, but somehow Walgreen could only accept one month. I'm pretty fed up with them. I understand how frustrating it is to wait so long for a prescription. I got told the same thing by the store manager of the location I need my meds from. What if you doctor decides they shouldn't renew that RX? I refuse to use any chains. co. to sort things out. So, now it is Saturday and I have to wait until Monday to get a refill. We called them in morning asking about booster update, they said they had phizer, I asked if we needed an appointment, she said no just get here before 4pm. Your pdoc really does need to see you in person so that he can talk to you and visually see how you are doing. It's not the pharmacists fault you have problems with the clinic. So, basically, no reason for me to sell it because she gets the credit for it and I don't even get my whole nickel. Walgreens is running a BUSINESS that deals with PATIENTS who rely on them to be HEALTHY and while they should not break any laws, they do have, in my opinion, a responsibility to be courteous and helpful and perhaps take some pride in having good customer service. If you are doing a good job AND are a manager, they let you know. IF the item is on sale and you use a coupon in the Walgreens paper to sell the item, you dont get your whopping nickel for it. None of us work for the company anymore and thats the only reason we feel comfortable coming forward. She had moved 45 minutes away and was working two jobs. Our family uses CVS but my parents use Walgreens. Just be aware that the brand-name product may not always be immediately available, and that your insurance provider may only cover the cost of the generic drug, leaving you on the hook for any. Then I'm done for good. Then, another Walgreens pharmacy can access your prescription from the original one fairly soon, provided that the medication isn't a controlled substance and has refills remaining. Its 11 PM and Ive already sat in your store for almost an hour and you tell me I have to wait another, due to your irresponsibility? His medicines are on auto refill, but they are never ready. He just prescribed it anyway. Although I work for the Walgreens Company, I have heard the same complaint regarding our pharmacy. Well, I was so sick I just believed them. It's beyond me why they can never handle filling my prescription on time. It takes them half an hour to put 30 tablets in the bottle? I feel quite spoiled by it, actually. Never ever get generic from Walgreens. I got my Paxil and hopefully will feel better but the withdrawal affects, brain shocks, and black spots I keep seeing (aren't those visual hallucinations?) Tommy got Kelloggs Raisin Bran bogo, too. I think it is because they are so overwhelmed with work, and probably are short-handed as well. At the end of the night, you see Amanda doing all her stuff AND the cooler. I see Walgreen's must hire from the bottom on the pharmacy class, and CVS hires from the top. I am very unhappy. So then I found out Costco was cheaper. I HATE Walgreens. I just quit walking except to go to the bathroom! They not only know my name at CVS, they greet me with a smile and if they are out of my meds, they will immediately call another store for me. Powered by Invision Community, The Orion Spur, or if you want greater specificitythe Pacific Northwest. Just saying. I was shocked he did that.
