This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I went to Walgreens today (9/29/09) and received a receipt from the pharmacy. It said I could go online for the $3000. monthly sweepstakes within 72 hrs. All the material on that page were advertising, with no way of entering the sweepstakes. Please have this corrected.

I just typed 'survey' into the search bar at the top and thankfully that took me right to it, but I agree, there ought to be a specific url for the survey, like at mcdvoice.com where you enter the code on the receipt to fill out a survey and receive a confirmation code, which allows you to claim the free item (either a free sm fry or hashbrown with purchase of any sandwich, or sometimes it's BOGO any sandwich, which is a great deal). That would really be best.

Spent my last 30 bucks on my meds. I just got state insurance. The pharmacit is trying ti tell me she wont run it until ive gone 4 months with name brand meds. It sounds like bu[censored] to me. Shes the only one that tells me that. This was the 3rd time. To prove i need it. Ive been using them for the last 3 years. I mean i wouldnt recomend anyone to walgreens right now. If they get to act together i might reconsider. I dont wanna be alive right now. Im having such a hard time right now. I have insurance. And i expect a representative fron Walgreens to resolve this for me. Multi billion dollar company and im about to loose my home and the lady seriously wont rub my insuance. Its kind of threataning like. Are you going to refuse to give me my meds? Might as well shoot me. Im tired of strugglibgg alone and the stress of this life and the other issues im facing. Thank you greedy America.

Today I called three to enter the Walgreens $3000 sweepstakes and each time was told my password number was invalid!

It's the number they gave me on my receipt so how can it be invalid? I have spent loads of money at Walgreens over many years but this makes me think I will seek a more honest place to do my purchasing.

I found the list of winners everyone. You have to make sure you go to www.walgreenslistens.com. There are several other imposter sites, and that’s why your getting all the adds. After the survey, if you scroll down to the bottom, it will say “survey winners” and here’s the link for the list that comes up: http://www.inmoment.com/websurvey/servlet/BlobServlet?s2=370e0870-781d-30c6-94e1-0fe8490d4a30-7a&v=0&type=0&t=surveySweepstakesOfficialWinnersListDec

Also, you’ll come to a question, when filling out survey online, where it says “do you mind answering a few more questions?”. Click “No” if you don’t want to complete another 10 min of questions. Good luck, and Happy New Year’s to everyone.

I went to Walgreen's Pharmacy, and I did the survey, and I actually did win $1000, they were very formal with all the paperwork that they sent me, and I did receive my check. It is real, this is not a scam company, the company who does the surveys is not Walgreen's it's a different company contracted by them.

I no longer drive, my grand daughter picked up my Rx i awhile ago. I chose to fill out the survey. After spending all the time to fill out the survey they said they must speak with the person who shopped there. This was very dis appointing, and I will no longer use Walgreen.

Lol well how can you tell about someone else's experience at a store ? It makes sense Walgreens wants to know first hand about a customers experience not a customer who sent someone else to the store and told you second hand about their experience. This is your reason to stop using Walgreens, wow!

I totally agree, walgreens needs to correct the information of their 3000 sweepstakes, its more of a scam than an appreciation to LOYAL customers. fix it or stop with what I refer to as false statements!

I also had problems with the Walgreens $3, 000 Sweepstakes from the Cash Register Receipt, as trying to enter I continued to receive a robo message that said "invalid entry", so could not enter the contest. I reported the issue to Walgreens but they never got back to me, and never fixed the problem either! I then reported the incident to the FTC, but they did not seem interested in investigating Walgreens.

If you look at your receipt, it clearly says to go to www.wagcares.com to fill out a survey and then you can be entered into the sweepstakes. I go to this site every month. The only problem I have had is a couple of times I have lost my connection for some reason, and since I had already entered the Survey # and Password the site had recorded the entry and did not know I was not able to finish so I was not able to go in to finish the survey and enter the sweepstakes. But that is due to an error with the internet not Walgreens. Maybe before being so quick to attack others when you can't do something you should look into what you are doing wrong.

I purchased an item at walgreens on 3/18 and took the survey. It did not allow me to type in my phone number and Zip code. I typed in the zip code in the address space. How will I know if I win? Or is this a scam? Has anyone every won 3000 bucks?

I tried it today and the site wouldn't' allow the whole password to be entered. It just sat there unfinished and wouldn't let me continue. So I called the phone number and that was a royal pain but I got entered.

Good grief, most of you are either blind, illiterate or have some sort of reading disability. This is not misleading, it's not false advertising and by no means is it rocket science.
Get a grip people, read slowly and carefully, control your urge to have a knee-jerk reaction (not to mention your obvious need to cry & moan over something you're dead wrong about & you, like thousands before you, will be able to take the survey.
And yes, it's real, and yes, people do win, and yes, the odds are maybe like Lotto, except you don't pay for the "ticket."

Summerlion,
Your response seems elitist and judgmental. I have completed the Walgreens survey at times and also been prematurely directed to an unrelated site at other times. It is then impossible to get back in order to complete the sweepstakes information. If this has not happened to you count yourself as more fortunate than others not more competent.

For years I've been filling out 8 to 10 surveys per month and have never won or heard anything about the results. I've searched the internet for a list of winners but there's nothing to be found. For several months I've had this gnawing suspicion there might not be a drawing at all. Why are the winners names never mentioned? Organizations running contests or drawings always publish winners as a way to sustain excitement and participation. As far as I know Walgreens has never done anything particularly deceptive or dishonest but there is something not right with this one. Many people who enter these contests need the money and are hoping against hope one day they'll win. If the monthly drawings are just some sort of scam or ruse then it needs to be reported to the Federal Trade Commission, Better Business Bureau and your State and Local consumer protection agencies. If you know of anyone who has won please mention it here so I can be proven wrong. I'd love to get to the bottom of this if for no other reason than to put a stop to it. Promises of a monthly cash prize via some phantom contest is essentially a cruel thing to do to people, especially Walgreen's loyal customers.

I went to purchase a weight loss program. Upon deciding to purchase a $41.49 Adrnel weight loss program CYLAPRL, i went to ask the pharmecist what Adrenal ment could she tell me more about the Adrenal factor what it was .or to help me understand what was different about this product and was told without heistation -(the girl at the register )..I DONT KNOW. Ok so then she yelled to the Pharmecist what is Adrenal? The pharmecist yells back I DONT KNOW ! And then just disregaurded me, left me standing there .WOW. great customer service NOT ! I went home and in 2 minutes got my answer on my goggling, I just think they should have made an effort to help answer my question, being i was spending $42.00 on one of thier pharmecutial products. Never patronizing this location again..

My boyfriend of 3 years and I recently needed the Plan B pill. We are always careful with birth control, but accidents happen, and this pill is designed for just that purpose. When we arrived, however, the pharmacist was not at all professional. He looked at us as if we were horrible people, which did not add any more ease to an already stressful evening. When he asked for IDs, he said, "I need an ID. I don't care. Somebody's. Anybody's." He wouldn't even look at me, he only addressed my boyfriend. He took my boyfriend's ID. He asked MY BOYFRIEND if he had any questions, even though I was the one whose health could potencially be affected. If you are a pharmacist, it doesn't matter what pill you are selling, or what your personal beliefs are. You should treat people with respect and do your job. Even if I were 17 and had just had a one night stand, the pharmacist is certainly not the person to judge my actions. A pharmacist is there for health education and information about potential drug interactions and side effects. So please. By all means. Do your job.

My husband and I usually go to a small pharmacy close to my daughters doctor but tonight we went to walgreens because our regular pharmacy was closed. Only hearing good things about Walgreens we thought this would be no problem but our night was just ruined by the horrendous customer service we recieved at out local
Walgreens (Liberty Road, Villa Rica, GA). We dropped off the prescription and right away the the lady asked very rudely (and I quote!) "you stay or you come back" Um... at a loss for words I just nod my head we'll stay, after a 15 minute wait (looking through the store) we walk up to get our perscription and the lady (same one) ask our last name and then turns and gets our script then promptely turns around, totaling ignores us to tend to the drive through with out even an excuse me for a sec mam, then finally 10mins later she gets to us and starts trying to explain why our insurance could not pay (something we've never had a problem with) she's totaly confused and blundering what shes saying and really has no clue whats going on so the "all mighty" pharmacist starts yelling across the pharmacy about the insurance wants something else and when did we fill it last, last year (we ahd filled it just last month at our pharmacy). The girl is confused, I'm confused and the pharmacist refused to come over and explain in a PROFESSIONAL way what was going on he instead kept yelling across the room! My husband or I said nothing or did nothing to provoke this treatment and after the retrieval of our prescription (to take to our normal pharmacy) we leave! How freakin rude! My family will never go back to walgreens for anything and I will NOT recommend any one to your store! If thats the way you let your employees treat people I very suprised your still in business!~!

store 4771 w Ashlan ave, Fresno ca: If you are looking for poor customer service visit this Walgreens .It is a half of a mile from my home but each visit is such a unpleasant experience . You are not acknowledge or thanked for your for business.The employees and management are rude.Yesterday was a final straw for me. This store is located on the out skirt of town, While checking out a young teen asked the clerk for four singles and four quarters to ride the bus home.She turned to a manager and ask if it was okay? The answer was no.He needed to make a purchase.I had expressed that it was rude and was told that the store had just enough money on hand to service customers.My response if you can't break a five lock the door.I drive three miles to take my business to the the marks and Ashlan store.They treat you as if their only job is to assist the customer buying or not!
