Walgreens

Excuse my French… But what a freaking clusterfuck. Every time I’ve been here, it precedes with the two customers in front of me cussing out the workers because either they fucked up, or the Walgreens system fucked up. It’s always been a nightmare to get anything filled here, but tonight was the final straw.
I had a new prescription for a controlled substance. The girl working the counter felt it fitting to yell through the pharmacy asking if it was in stock. OK, awesome. Now everyone knows what I’m there to get, it it’s not exactly something I want to evade HIPPA laws. Fuck you.
Says it’ll be two hours… MMMMKAY? So it’s going to take two hours for a pharmacist to put 20 pills in a bottle? Awesome.
Go home, two hours later call the pharmacy to see if my prescription is ready. Nobody will answer the phone. Sit on hold for 20 minutes. Get sick of waiting, so head on down there.
Guess what… It’s not ready. We sit, and sit, and sit… More than an hour we’re told, «OH, the pharmacist just needs to get it out of the safe.» … So, that apparently takes nearly four hours to happen.
Meanwhile, I sit and listen to the workers there fuck up ever other order to the point, like clockwork, the customer yells, «This is bullshit!» and walks out.
Worst pharmacy ever. Don’t do it. For reals.

I really like this store. They have the friendliest employees who are always available & offering help. They are very good at having their advertised items available when I go in, unlike some of their competitors. They do need more help at the checkout counters, though. I was in after church on Sunday, and there were 8 people ahead of me in line. The sweet girl checking customers out kept her cool & a smile on her face even though not everyone was nice to her.

This Walgreen’s is close to my work and convenient for picking up sundries.
Being older and in a smaller town, it does not have the variety in selection that I am use to in the big city. However, I have found alternative items to meet my needs.
The staff is friendly in the early morning hours, much more then their rival across the street.
Glad it is in my work hood, it has come in handy.
