Perhaps you do not know how your customers being treated and spoken to. I sat on hold for nearly 15 min, which is fine I'm sure they are busy. When I finally spoke with John in the pharmacy and asked if my prescriptions would be ready he said he had 2 ready and 2 for tomorrow.

I asked which ones were tomorrow as I need them all today, he asked for my birth date after I had already put this info in the phone when calling the automation, so I asked why he would need that again ( i do bot fin that an unreasonable question) Apparently I must have angered him and he decided to talk through me while I was asking questions.

I asked him to please stop talking over me. Then he I guess was finished and I asked him again which 2 were set for tomorrow. He said I already told you! Ultimately, if this…

I was trying to explain to a Walgreen's pharmacist that I would be out of town the day my prescription was due to be filled. The pharmacist would not allow me to explain or even talk . She talked over me and would not let me tell her the details such as I would be out of town on March 19th ( or my prescription due day).

I could not even get word in bc she kept saying me no and talking over me. She also abruptly kept stopping me from talking. She repeatley said my prescription could only be picked up on 19th. I ended getting angry and hanging up on her.

This pharmacist also did not seem very fluent in English or English was her second language. Furthermore she treated me like I was a child.

My doctor has allowed me to pick my prescription one day early around Christmas time and other…

Walgreens pharmacy @ 757 N. Michigan (Chicago) consistently fails in providing me with my full dose of medication. On two occurrences ( too many) I was told the medication needed to be ordered and to return in two days. Upon return, both times I was told only half of the meds can be filled.

Today, I was told to come back (again) because they were short staffed. The last thing a client or patient wants to hear. This is wholly dissatisfying and poor client service. 0077

I went to Walgreens on 3/9/2023 to purchase some products that according to the FSA app were approved when scanned. 14 was covered by FSA. This is not the issue, I am fine with that even though it showed up as FSA approved.

What bothered me was that I attempted to return these items and the cashier didn't seem to know how to do so yet would not ask for help. She ended up telling me that she was not able to return them because the system wouldn't allow her since they were buy 1, get 1 free.

I've never heard of this before and don't believe it to be true. I'm very upset about this because she made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. With prices going up on everything, I need to save every dime I have and she kept saying "well you got 2 for free so" insinuating that I should just keep them…

Your corporate decision to not sell a legal drug based on political pressure is abhorrent. Especially since, in NY, medical abortions are still legal. What you are doing is saying that you are refusing to sell a completely legal drug to women. You have not done the same for men. I could go on and on with why this is SO wrong. Instead, I will take the rxs for the 3 members of our family away from the drugstore we;ve used for 30+ years. It is now called Walgreens. No other companies that did business at this location ever succumbed to the political pressure that Walgreens has. NEVER. I will vote with the thousands and thousands of dollars our 10+ Rxs per month give to Walgreens.

PS I have never had an abortion, never needed one. But it is NOT Walgreens’ decision to make

My name is John Zhang. I live in Bridgeport area for 15 years. I have been customer of Walgreens store in 3000 S. Halsted St. for years. But what I experienced today (3/11/2023) was really a nightmare!

As I needed to renew my passport on 3/11/2023 (Saturday), so I ordered one 4x6 photo which includes couple composed 2x2 passport pictures ( I can cut down by myself) online on 3/10/2023 . My order number is 33997501321865 ($0.38), and the pick up location is Walgreens 02025 at 3000 S. Hasted St. Chicago, IL. 60608.

On 3/11/2023 at 9:53am, I received an email from Walgreens Photo that "Your Walgreens Photo order is ready". So, I stopped by Walgreens store at 3000 S. Halsted St. at around 12:30PM to pick up the photo: 1) I came to photo counter and meet the manager (I don't know her name,…

What is the point of having pickup service if you have to go in the store to get the prescription? What about delivery, how do you deliver without coming in the store? The Walgreens in Lagrange, Ky is the worst I have ever used.

The line at the pharmacy is always a long wait and the phone service is sometimes 30 minutes at least. The other day it was 20 minutes on hold. I keep thinking it will get better but it hasn’t. CVS, here I come.

The staff in the pharmacy at 8606 Philadelphia road in rosedale MD 21237 are the most unprofessional people that I have ever seen. Waiting on the phone for 15+ minutes and they pick up and hang up on me 5 times now.

They are in there laughing at people that are trying to pick up medications. This is completely unacceptable.

Walgreens at 29th and Gage Blvd. Topeka, KS. Yesterday I wanted on line for 35 minutes to speak with a pharmacist. I hung up and dialed again and was told via vm that the pharmacy was closed until noon. Today I am trying again and so far I have been told that someone will be with me shortly.

I've been on hold for 17 minutes. This is not the biggest pharmacy. This is just unacceptable from a company as large as Walgreens. Will be moving my business elsewhere. I'm sure that won't make a difference to your bottom line.

was dealt with by a very rude and unprofessional associate at your Westfield NJ store. She was short amd rude in her responses to me and even more troubling she was mean to my 10 yr old daughter. We had no altercation with her but she clearly was unhappy to be working there and her mannerisms were close to hostile.

The store located at 977 Ellis Ave in Jackson Mississippi 39209 has the worst customer service ever!!!

First they lost my meds, and couldn’t tell me where they were after supposedly mailing them out on the 28th of February. I drove around searching for my meds for days, going to Fedx and the store in question. It was not until today March 8th that I tracked my meds down, and they were at the store and no one called to tell me anything after all this time!!

When I got to the store I pulled in to the drive thru and there were three pharmacy employees there doing nothing! One of as walk by looked at me and continued to sit down and started eating! The other two employees just stood and looked, I had to press the call button to get any assistance, while they stood and did nothing!

I asked a young man stocking shelves 1 isle from the pharmacy counter if i could have the code to the restroom he said "it's out of service".

I asked if i could please use the women's it's an emergency. He said it was also out of service. So i told the pharmacist or the lady that was assisting me and she told me to check with the front desk by then it was too late.

Then she got a call to let me in the restroom. I was so embarrassed and humiliated walked out of your store embarrassed. I don't go anywhere any more unless it's close and would have a restroom it was the 7th at approx 7:15 till 8pm…

I am writing as millions of others have I am certain, to tell you after being a loyal customer all over the country for over 45 years, I will NEVER set foot , trade on line or drive through a Walgreens ever again.

I was even an employee in the early 80’s who was promoted to the pharmacy as a tech quickly from the front register, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I only left after the pharmacy manager insisted I take a job in the field I had been educated for after receiving an offer out of the blue. I hesitated because I loved the work and the company.

No longer. Realizing you have profits as your one and only concern above the health of all your female patients, I can no longer spend my hard earned female money at your establishments. I call them establishments in lieu of pharmacies because…

You have lost a good customer. I spend an average over $100 month on non RX items. Your decision to stop selling the abortion pills means you don’t care about a woman’s health.

I have always gone to Walgreens in Oak Grove, Mo to buy my Walphed D allergy medicine. It is not a prescription but it is only sold behind the counter. I went on Tuesday evening after work and was told that their system was down and that the only computer that could ring it up was not not available.

Could I come back tomorrow? I went again Wednesday after work, I was told that it again was down. Could I come back. I went tonight after work (Thursday) and I was told that it couldn’t be sold due to the website being down.

You’ve got to be joking me! Talk about poor customer service. Walgreens is the only place I ever found it, but I will never be back. This is the worse customer service I have ever experienced.

My wife needed to get a medication transfered to the pharmacy at the walgreens on eureka rd. In wyandotte mich. It is a medication that is on back order at the pharmacy she is currently using . Walgreens has the medication The pharmacist on duty today 3/9 23 at 4:30 pm was very rude telling me that its walgreens policy not to transfer prescriptions.

She also says i just spoke to your wife and told her the same thing. Meiers would have been more than happy to help my wife obtain her medication by transfering it. She doesnt have any now and ther are due to refil.

They are just on backorder and no one has it in stock If this is how walgreens treats a person that is in need of a medication , i am sure that the situation we just experienced is going to be shared with the public to get this…

I have two (2) complaints. Neither of which will reach Mr. Skinner.

(1) your action to not sell birth control medication in certain (red) states far exceeds your responsibilities to serve the public. As a result of your corporation cowardice regarding this issue, my family and I have surveyed other providers i.e. Meijers, CVS and others for service. We do so reluctantly.

(2) on 3/02/2023 I was charged $567.99 for 30 tables of Gemtesa 75 mg. I am 86 years of age and seriously hearing impaired. I have patronized my local Walgreens for at least 25 years.

I arrived at the pharmacy before 1:30 to get my prescription. I was the only one in line behind a women checking out. It wasn't 1:30 but they told me they could not help me because they had to go to lunch.

I explained I was going out of town and needed my prescription. They said sorry. I come back in town 5 days later and go to pickup my prescription and it has been put back on the shelf cause I didn't pick it up in time.

I would have to come back an hour later for the 3rd time. This is ridiculous. They coould have helped me the first time and still made their luncch on time. I will be moving my prescriptions to CVS. If i could give a zero rating I would.

Rittenhouse/Ocotillo in Queen Creek Arizona. I have been a long time customer of this location and have never experienced a complete lack of professionalism as I did on 3/8/23. And I am truly not one to bother complaining but this was very uncalled for from this associate.

The pharmacist corrected my order and was refunding a portion and gave instruction to the associate Chris who is shift lead at that location to continue helping me. I also informed him of what happened, when he gave a complete attitude and said a couple rude comments to me and then proceeded to not listen, not even to the pharmacist instruction which obviously lead to another issue in returning.

He was sarcastic, snotty and very rude. He does not belong in customer service or any business being a shift lead if this is…

Once we arrived Rebeca stated there was no prescription at that we don't have a prescription here. We stated that we have had prescriptions at this store for the last 4 years. She begins to be very combative with me and my wife.

I find this appalling please reach out to your employee to advise the customer to have the option to change companies when service is not at the representation of a CVS which is closer to my residents.

One of the worst places I have ever had the displeasure of having my medication filled at.

In the amount of times during the 5 times that someone picked up the phone to say please hold they could’ve also said we can’t take calls right now due to the volume of waiting customers we have in the store!

I visited the Walgreens on West D street in North Wilkesboro NC 28659 on 03/08/2023 to have several prescriptions refilled. The Tech working the front for the pharmacy Preston ( lady with Purple Hair unprofessional looking ) was very rude.
