Walgreens

Decent store. Very friendly workers. Nice variety of products. Reasonably priced. Hours should be 24 hours.

I was forced to change from cvs to walgreens because of my prescription plan two years ago. The biggest benefit of using walgreens is that the copay is much less than it would be at cvs (I’ve compared). Just check your scripts when you get home. I was shorted 60 pills on one script but didn’t notice it until I was half way through. I called the manager and all I got was a verbal apology — no explanation of how that could happen. Then he made the pharmacist apologize — really! Now, because of convenience, I decided to go there for my flu shot. I am of Medicare age with some severe medical conditions. When I questioned the pharmacy manager if I should get the high dose flu shot he said it wasn’t necessary. In the meantime all of my peers who got their shots at surrounding walgreens were given the high dose shot because of their age. I was very upset and wanted an explanation so I called and left a message for a pharmacist to return my call. That was two days ago and no call back. Yesterday I spoke to a store manager who was suppose to call me back with an explanation — never happened. I learned my lesson not to be lazy — I should have gotten the high dose shot thru my internist in the first place. I’m hoping cvs will become a preferred pharmacy for aarp someday soon. I’ll be the first person to make the switch. Their delivery service is a joke too!
