Walgreens

The Oak Ridge Walgreens has been an OK place to patronize much of the time. They clearly pay little and you get what you pay for or better at times. Lately their photo finishing improved somewhat after installing the modern photo finishing machine. I have found to walk-​in clinic above average.

Without getting off the curb she was sitting on, douchebag girl employee 1 asked «can I help you» as I walked from my car to the front door of the store. Douchebag employee girl 2 stayed sitting on the curb while DBGE1 laboriously got up and came in to be inconvenience by my patronage and how it was interfering with her chain smoking glare fest DBGE2, who never stopped making a face i never stopped wanting to punch. These girls are lazy assholes

We have been a customer of Walgreens for many years. While visiting family in East Tennessee my baby girl (17 months old) became sick. We were up all night with a coughing, rash-​ridden, crying baby and went to Oak Ridge Walgreens on Monday evening to pick up some Benedryl. My wife was absolutely exhausted, but went to ask the pharmacist some questions about how much Benedryl was safe for a 17 month old. He seemed a bit clueless but eventually we figured out the dosage.
My wife went to the front register to buy the medicine and some snacks, and accidentally pulled out our CVS card. She immediately realized it was the wrong card and said, «Oh, I guess I can’t use this one.» Before she could put it back in her wallet and take out the Walgreens card, the clerk grabbed the card and said, «Hey, _​_​_​_​_​_​… we can’t take this can we?» Then he laughed. The other clerk (several registers over) laughed and yelled back, «Nope!» They proceeded to continue belittling my wife (with another employee — a female clerk) joining in. Again, my wife was exhausted and fragile, but being publicly embarrassed was not something she expected or deserved.
After the incident, she initially couldn’t find her Walgreens card, and the clerks were refusing to give her the discount even if she signed up for a new Walgreens card. She was nearly frustrated and embarrassed enough to walk out, but finally found her Walgreens card and presented it to the clerk.
She came out of the store in tears. I nearly went inside to confront the employees but my wife asked me to forget it. «But I will never, ever shop at a Walgreens again!» she said.
Two days later and she’s still saddened by the situation, and I am even more angry.
There are other places to shop where you will be treated much better with a better product selection and lower prices.
