To whom it may concern, I was recently diagnosed with COVID and Erika W. at your Highway 92 location in Lakeland, Florida is withholding a prescription that I desperately need. The prescription is ivermectin. This isn't the first time that she has been rude and belligerent. Her attitude is the worst of anyone that I've ever had the displeasure of dealing...

I know her name is LLuvia and would not give me her last name. She was berating one of the employees in the pharmacy, because the system was not working even though it was not his fault, threatening to write the young man up for this situation that was out of his control. She has a very mean attitude and gives customers one side or her but is mean with the...

8/24/2021 Good morning, I contacted Walgreens in Freeport, NY to inquire about donations for a back to school drive my church would be conducting for children and families who have been impacted by covid. I asked to speak to the manager, who presented as rude and unkind. Please provide additional training on customer service and client interaction.

Walgreens COVID Vaccination

I had my first shot completed on 8/2 and the second one was schedule fo 8/23. My appointment was at 7:30, I arrived at 7:11 and check in by 7:14. At 7:35 I asked if I needed to reschedule, the answer was no the pharmacist will be with you soon. At 8:00 she indicated the pharmacist was drawing down the vaccination. However, the lobby not was fill with four others for vaccinations and three other for other various reasons. But the pharmacist had time stop interject if you don't have time to wait you can reschedule, I'm trying to do three jobs.This was my question I asked at 7:35. At 8:05 she administer the vaccination, and now says wait 10 to 15 minutes, why she had already indicated she did have time. I rather be home then have her keep an eye On me.

Desired outcome: Don’t schedule appointments

WHY would I waste the ER time during Pandemic? It was the Idiot Pharmacist job! I found out he is a substitute and hope he gets fired! If I listened to the Stupid Pharmacist I would have ended up on the hospital. Telling me to take ALL the pills! You aren't" representing Asians "very well. I always thought they were brilliant!

The company has been notified directly by a Medicare agent and myself on a party line. They were informed that I was eligible and my insurance was active, along with my endocrinologist sending them a prescription directly to the mentioned pharmacy. At this point they still claim the insurance does not pay for the product. DexcomG6

Walgreens Service getting Medicatikn

8/18/2021 -Arrive about 2:30 for 2 medications. Waited about 20 minutes. I tell the Rep 2 Meds to pick up. She tells me only 1. I tell her impossible. The automated system called me Saturday or Sunday and asked me if I wanted to refill my Prescription and I said yes. Then called me back to say it was ready. I purposely waited 2-3 days because I "know how Walgreens is". She said she's putting in for the medication Now. You can't call and check on you medication because you just get a recording after 25-45 min.
JUST HORRIBLE.

On August 17, 2021, at 9:30 pm I called the pharmacy and was put on hold with a message that stated that there were 2 callers ahead of me. I stayed on hold and when it was finally my turn, the call was disconnected. I am assuming that this is because it was 10:01 pm and they closed. No problem. I called today, August 18, 2021, at 9:44 am and was put on hold...

Walgreens Pharmacy

I would like to transfer all 18 monthly prescriptions to a different provider however I came across this post and I am doing my own research but would like to know if this is what your pharmacist's are doing to cancer patients? Please answer honestly!
Because of my brain disease & past cancer history, this answer is important! I know the laws and apparently either this pharmacist is uneducated or being a bully, both of which I do not want to do business with. Again… I am doing my own research so please, on your end, please be honest with the reason
Thank You in advance

A pharmacist should NOT be allowed to make a decision on how my mme is too much daily on a script! That is what the dr does and then it is creeped by insurance. If there is no insurance a phone call from or to the dr office can be a stipulation placed by a pharmacist however a patient waiting for much needed meds should not have to be screened by a pharmacist, until they go back to school for those extra letters, MD.

I was refused the vaccine. I was discriminated against. A couple of Middle Eastern young women had a horrible attitude being demeaning and condescending to me. I was just questioning why I should have fill up a form to get a vaccine. The young woman yelled at me being mean and condescending. Just turn around and walk away leaving me there. Another employee yelled at me too.

Walgreens Pharmacy

I have been a pharmacy customer for several years and I just changed to CVS. They never have my medication on time. They don't order it so I have to wait for the shipment to come in. This happened the last 4 months. Because it is a pain medication, they advise me that I cannot get a partial order or they will have to cancel it. I suffer from extreme pain from several illnesses including RA, Osteo-Arthritis, 2 recent hip & knee replacements, back problems, etc. The last 4 months my medication wasn't ordered and I was out of pills, so I had to wait 3 days after I was out for them to re-order. Another problem I had was that they told me my medication was ready to pick up and when I got there, they advised me that it was a day early and the woman told me they called my physician to see if it was ok to pick it up early. I would never have wanted this. Then my doctor thinks I am abusing them because I wanted to pick it up early when they were the ones that told me the medication was ready. There were 2 nice women that worked there but, with all the issues I had, nobody once apologized and even one said to me, "how can you not have any left?" How unbelievably nervy is that? Because I kept forgetting to tell my doctors to change my pharmacy, I had to keep having the same experience for 4 months of the last 5. So many bad experiences, I won't be getting my medications there and I won't be shopping at Walgreens anymore.

Desired outcome: None, I just wanted to express my feelings about Walgreens on Hempstead Tpke & Newbridge Road, in East Meadow NY

Walgreens App coupons never applying to my orders

I take the time to go on the app a d select specific coupons and purchase these items and at checkout they never get applied and when I've mentioned it to the store they say that they can't do anything about it to contact customer service . I shop usually everyday to every other day and every time I select app coupons and they never are automatically applied like there suppose to . Just tonight I should've had a total of $10 taken off my order with $15 in rewards cash applied to my acct and not either of these were applied and this is the first time I've emailed to let u know bc this is a lot of money I keep losing especially to continue to keep shopping at Walgreens when I can go shop elsewhere so I'm hoping you guys will fix this and give me back my money snd apply my rewards to my acct. my email address is [protected]@live.com & name is Shea Schlander & phone number associated with acct is [protected]

Desired outcome: My $10 refunded by email with a giftcard to use everywhere & my $15 cash rewards applied to my acct to use on a future purchase
