Walgreens

My first time visit to this Walgreens location! Can’t believe I haven’t been and now I’m leaving the area! I went during the day probably around 2pm. It was quiet and the place is spacious! I was getting quick prints at their photo department! Service was fast! Not many people know this, but you can get prints from your phone. They usually have the cable cords to the phone if you forgot yours. (Some places offer there’s, but need to ask and don’t forget to return it). You can always find some kind of coupons when you are going to print anything out! Just ask if they have any specials! The lady was a stand in for that day from Katy! She was really nice! Not sure how service is typically at this location! Staff at the register was really nice too! She wasn’t the typical employee with a frown, like you see at some Walgreen hating their job.

I’m sitting here waiting on a prescription listening to the pharmacist gripe about how busy they are. I get it. They are busy but there is a time and a place and in front of customers is not it. No one is getting upset but her.

Would give zero stars if possible. I just had a tooth pulled and needed my prescription filled. The pharmacist wouldn’t fill my prescription because the surgeon didn’t give me antibiotics to go with the pain meds. Um. I don’t have an infection and my oral surgeon said I didn’t need antibiotics. The pharmacists are extremely rude at this location. Would never suggest this place to anyone, not even my worst enemy.

Pharmacy drive thru is soooo slow today. I’ve been at the window for ten minutes now without being greeted.

Fifteen minutes before arriving, my dr sent over my prescription. Once I arrived the drive thru attendant said they“just received the prescriptions and it would be ten minutes”. I came back 10 minutes later and waited for another 45 minutes. Never using this pharmacy again.

Waited 30 minutes for propane exchange and it turns out that they don’t have the key. Idiots.

So, this Wal-​greens location recently screwed up BIG TIME in their pharmacy department! They gave me someone else’s prescriptions!
I was in the drive-​thru to pick up my medicines, the woman helping me told me it would be $ 20.00 total. When I looked at the receipt, I saw that they charged me $ 25.00. I thought my insurance had gone up some so I didn’t think any more of it and drove off. When I opened the bags they put the prescriptions in hours later (before bed), I looked at the bottles and saw that the medicines weren’t mine at all! And neither was the name on the bottles!
Wal-​greens had closed by that time so I couldn’t call them so I decided to deal with it in the morning. Before I even woke up the next day, Wal-​greens had called me twice and left me two voice messages about their huge mistake. I called them back soon after and they had to ask me a few questions about medicine tampering, making sure I didn’t take the wrong pills, etc.
But what makes me the most mad at them is the pharmacist made excuses for their mistake! He said they were real busy that evening and the mistake was made because of that. Umm… WHAT!!! What if the medicines I needed were life-​saving and if I didn’t take them, my health would then be the issue?!
This could have been a lawsuit waiting to happen. This Wal-​greens got lucky, that’s all I have to say.

Is this a drug store or a small department store? The stuff you associate with a drugstore like first aid items, aspirin, cold remedies, prescription counter and so on are at the back of the sore or around the perimeter. Taking up the middle are toys, food, clothing, home repair, motor oil, cosmetics, seasonal stuff like Halloween or Christmas stuff, and so on.
Pros
Usually well stocked with the drugstore items you need.
Some less common items can be found.
Very clean and neat
Cons
Not so cheap
Vapid sales people and staff
Slow pharmacy service
Outside of going there to find an unusual item like a knee-​shaped cold compress, Kroger’s has faster and more pleasant pharmacy, and Target and/​or Krogers does better on the non-​drug type items.
The final nail in the rating coffin: neither Moxie or Mason liked the dog treat I got there. Two paws down!
