Walgreens

The WORST pharmacy I have ever had to deal with. I got a call this morning telling me my prescription was ready as well as the price. I drive all the way out there and they have no recollection of my prescription. One person says they’re out of it, the next tells me it’s in but I need to wait 5 minutes. COMPLETELY unorganized with zero communication. And not to mention AWFUL attitudes. I just asked for my prescription back and I’m taking it elsewhere. NEVER again.

I would probably rank Walgreens 4^th on my list of preferred pharmacies. Behind family owned neighborhood pharmacies, Publix, and Rite-​Aid. But they get the job done if a drugstore is what you need. Plus, let’s face it. Seems like there’s a Walgreens on every corner of the world. It’s pretty amazing with all the options today that they are able to do this. And their website, if you’re buying online, is pretty decent as well.

This is for the pharmacy. ARE TOU SERIOUS PEOPLE?! I left EARLY for work because I know y’all are slow as hell. If you’re understaffed – hire another pharmacist but this is absolutely and completely 100% unacceptable.
I’ve been sitting in the drive thru line for 22 minutes now. DRIVE-​THRU.
WTF.
I’m now 15 minutes late to work, still no prescription and I’m mad as a hornet. Completely ridiculous
ZERO STARS. They need a zero star option

not the best photo center. They are so mixed up.

This review is primarily for the pharmacy, but the one star applies to the store (its management, cleanliness, etc).
I chose this location because it’s the only pharmacy within a couple mile radius with drive-​thru service. The pharmacist is rarely there or visible. The technicians (all of the technicians that I’ve encountered) are very reluctant to help and fail to ask if I have questions for the pharmacist. Technicians have failed to research my insurance for flu shot coverage and claimed there was no coverage — I went to a CVS care place down the road and flu shots were covered. Lastly, the technician mis-​filled my prescription and missed two weeks worth of medicine.
I have encountered the pharmacist on two occasions, both of which he seemed angry and less than talkative. I’ve switched and recommend the Publix pharmacy across the street even though it’s inconveniently located for a pharmacy.

I’m torn between three and four stars. The ultimate three call is due to the often inept or just totally blank-​gaze-​like staff. Example: yesterday I needed cold medicine (oh, how I hate getting sick in warm weather! That should only happen in winter when you can curl up in sweats and blankets!) and threw a few other things in my basket; at the checkout I picked up US Weekly — I had to read about Jessica Simpson’s baby, ok? — and I handed it to him as I set the basket on the counter. I started to swipe my card and he says «That’s $ 4.15» and I looked at him confused — «Uh, that stuff in the basket is mine, too (silent „duh“).» Took him a long pause to realize it was all my stuff for purchase.
Four stars for the candy selection (I knew my boss loved sour candy and was a hit this week when I picked up a couple bags including his favorite, sour peach!) and the huge array of quick food items if you’re in need, as well as a good beauty product selection. I have never got prescriptions here but since it’s a right turn between home and work, and convenient to what I do in general, it’s definitely a possibility.

Its a Walgreens like any other Walgreens. Good selection of stuff, what can you say. It does get a lot of really wierd customers though and I’m not sure the staff knows how to handle them.
This one time I was in line and a woman stood at the register and casually leafed through the sale circular. After 5 minutes and the line getting longer by the second, I finally said something like perhaps she could step away and do that and then go back to the register when she was ready. Now apparently when you say rational things to crazy people, it doesn’t go over well and she kind of freaked out.
Anyway, my point was that the employee should have handled it so that the other customers didn’t have to stand there waiting while this one woman held everything up. I’ve seen this kind of thing happen a couple times here, they should be getting good at dealing with these crazies and I swear I’m not one of them, though if I was I wouldn’t know and even if I did I doubt I would admit it so maybe I am one.

I love this Walgreens.
Reason#1
Its one block from my building
Reason#2
The makeup is always on sale.
Reason#3
They always have lemonheads in stock. What else do you need?
Reason #4
There is this lady name Michelle that works the makeup counter that has the best sell-​up game I’ver ever seen. I think she gets to work and puts on every new product they have in stock. She is hilarious!

When I moved to Atlanta I went straight to Walgreens since I had good experience with them in Athens, GA. I was REALLY disappointed with this location. The technician that was working in the pharmacy obviously hated her job and everyone else for that matter. She did not want to tell me how much my medicine would be until I decided if I wanted to purchase the drugs that day or not. Because I was paying 100% out of my own pocket I needed to know the cost before deciding which ones to purchase that day. She was so rude to me I ended up requesting to see the manager. He was nice and apologized for the technicians rudeness.
I ended up transferring all of my business to Publix pharmacy and I now receive much better service and I found out their prices are less for the same drugs.

I appreciate the overall convenience of Walgreens and this location is a block from my house. You can use their website to refill prescriptions for home delivery or pick-​up at their store. Most insurance plans are accepted and they even offer discounted flu shots for those without insurance coverage.
Sometimes it takes a little longer than I would like to get a prescription filled, but I guess maybe I should just be more patient. Again, overall a good experience and very convenient.
