Walgreens

Love this Walgreens. Pharmacy staff are always cordial, concerned and responsive. When I’ve needed special attention, doctor contacted, bridge meds, they are so helpful. I highly recommend this one.

I absolutely hate coming to this Walgreens for filling prescriptions. I never have a positive experience, but it’s the only one close to me open 24 hrs. I came in today, and I don’t think I’ll ever come back. The Pharmacist sees me and I smile back at him. He doesn’t even acknowledge me. None of the Pharmacy Techs acknowledges me either. I understand you’re busy, so I waited… and waited. I decided to leave after 20 minutes of not being acknowledge. I’ll pay more for my prescriptions at Target or CVS.

This Walgreens sucks — literally — or at least the pharmacy does and that’s primarily the only reason I ever go to Walgreens. I don’t typically shop for household items or do anything there until and unless I have a medical issue. Otherwise I frequent Target and other stores for my other needs.
It is in a good location on Nimmo Parkway near the Bank of America and on the corner of Nimmo and Princess Anne.
Stopped in earlier to drop off two fairly standard prescriptions — 45 pills and a cream. They were somewhat busy (about 2 – 3 cars in the drive through while I stood to be helped) and no one in line when I walked up but 3 people behind me by the time I was helped.
I was told they were super busy and to come back in an hour and a half as they weren’t taking anymore waiters. Ok fine.
An hour later I got an email that my prescriptions were ready for pickup and over two hours later I drove back to get the prescription. I was told it wasn’t ready and would be another 10 – 15 minutes. Then I was told they had run out of the pills and were giving me two. Yes, you read that right. TWO pills and I would have to come back on Wednesday.
I mean, I understand sometimes they get slammed and run out of things but this was my first visit to this Walgreens and it is pretty terrible. For such a central location, in a nice part of town, I would expect them to be prepared and on the ball and order enough to fulfill demand and stick to their timeframes. I don’t know who initiated the email to come get my pills when it wasn’t ready. So that is irritating and having to make another trip to get the remainder of the pills is an annoyance.
If I could give zero stars for not being able to handle what seemed a very standard workload — I would.

The store was clean and easy to get to. I briefly talked to Matthew about finding something before I left. He was cheerful and friendly. I left with a smile on my face. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back.
