Walgreens

Pharmacy is always a long wait. Even when there are only 2 people in line. Seems to be always understaffed. However, most of the staff is pleasant with the exception of a few regulars which seems to always have an attitude, guess they missed the customer service training.
The other cashiers (non pharmacy) are pleasant and helpful. There are always new items displayed and the holiday selections are generally varied (at first), hurry in as stuff goes quick.
Rarely do I find an item out of stock or the store shelves messy. They do a good job of maintaining the store.
There is a redbox inside… Bonus!

Friends:
I want to share with you the experience I just had. My doctor called a prescription in for me. I was traveling and ran out of a daily medication that I can’t miss. Note* I have a heart condition. Instead of the AWESOME #CVS I have been going to a bit farther away, I asked her to send the prescription refill to the #Walgreens a block from my house.
I walked in and after watching the pharmacy staff chattering away and ignoring me, one of them, a young woman asked me if I was picking up. I said «yes please» and she asked if I had insurance.
Now is when the story gets good. I provided the card and she said they needed an override and that unless it was an emergency she couldn’t give me the medicine she was holding in her hand.
I asked her why as i’ve been getting the same medicine every month, same insurance nothing different at CVS a mile away from here. I politely asked if there was anything she could do as this was unusual. Her supervisor looked at and said «well, we are closing». I said «excuse me»? Guess what?
They pulled down the metal shades right in my face!!!
I tapped and they didn’t open. I knocked in the adjacent door, and Ms. Pharmacist with the annoyed look gave me the «ahem» stare.
I asked for my prescription. She handed me a copy and they all bolted out.
Wow. Thanks #Walgreens Frankly, I have never been a fan and this just reminded me why. Zero customer service. My current «Taquicardia» thanks you for caring about my #HEALTH.

If I could rate this Walgreens 0 stars I would. The line is always long and the service slow.

This has gotta be the worst and I mean worst Walgreens of the Century why because it’s unorganized and is really filthy and dirty the bathrooms are disgusting found toilet paper in the floor and it smells like shit the staff is extremely rude and our all old assholes. This Walgreens also sucks because it’s not open 24 hours and is so effing packed all the time and it’s on old cutler road which explains it terrible Pharmacy

Had to write a review because of my horrible experiences.
First of all, the pharmacy, I’ve had problems multiple times. When they tell me my prescription will be done on so and so day, and the day of, my prescription isn’t there. Also, times when they say it’s ready when arriving there, my prescription isn’t. Have to add on, the pharmacist asks about the medicine in which I’m taking for so and so reason, in front of everyone. Nothing professional about a pharmacy there.
Also, trying to buy something or asking for help takes forever, with one register open & one cashier. I’ve had to wait multiple times for the line to die down for help. And wait more for me to get checked out. Like I said, this Walgreens is not professional. From today, I’m done with it, and sticking to CVS across the street.

I think that all Walgreens that AREN’T 24 hour should have a map on their front door showing where the nearest 24 hour store is.
The time to realize that your local Walgreens isn’t a 24 hour store is not when you are sent out for medicine at 2 AM by a miserable sick person and now have to do a wild goose chase down US1.
Of course, maybe you should have a stocked medicine cabinet in the first place, but that is not the point right now.
And although most pharmacies are slow, this one seems particularly.
This Walgreen’s also has old photo center computers. I go to the CVS in the Publix shopping center on US1 & 144^st. Those are some easy to use photo machines.
The parking lot is horrible to get out of. There is no point in waiting to make a left. Just resign yourself to the right turn and turn around when you can.
