Walgreens walgreens' own advertising practice

Dear Walgreens management,

For the past several weeks, I have been very distressed to find the Walgreens ad missing from my Sunday newspaper.

I now understand that is is not the paper's mistake, but that this is Walgreens' doing.

I am writing to urge you to reinstate your practice of advertising through newspaper fliers. Sure, I know I could look online, but that is no fun and I wouldn't bother anyway. I also know that I can pick up the ad in the store itself, but I for physical and time reasons, I cannot stand and look through that for several minutes and make on-the-spot decisions about what sale items I might want to buy.

When I receive the ad with my newspaper, I sit down and star each item I'd like to buy and add those items to my general Walgreens "wist." Not only is that fun for me to do, but you end up selling me many, many more items.

When I went to Walgreens earlier this week, I picked up a flier. I didn't look at it there but did take it home with me. Just out of interest, I went through it and starred 27 items I would have purchased had I had the flier before I went to the floor.

Both out of respect for your customers and, I believe, a business advantage to you, reinstate your ads in the Sunday paper.

Sincerely and with thanks,

Kate Boylan

(I mostly shop at the Wayzata, MN, and Holmes Beach, FL, stores.)

I looked online for a specific product, saw it advertised at Walgreens for 10.99. Went into the store, big yellow tag on the shelf 10.99. Got to the checkout, paid for two of the item. Got home and discovered that the 10.99 was only for those with a rewards card. So I had to pay $13.99 each.

That's the last time I will go into Walgreens.

Walgreens pharmacist customer service

I am a registered nurse at a busy OB/GYN's office. Yesterday @ 16:26 I left a new RX on voicemail system for the Walgreen's in Texas City, Texas. This morning patient called to complain that pharmacy did not have RX. Called pharmacy, went through prompts to speak with pharmacist. Once he, Josh, got on the phone, he was very rude and abrupt, putting me on hold X 4 minutes at which point I was disconnected or hung up on. I immediately called back, Josh got on phone, rushed me, cut me off and was completely rude. We are both professionals and in turn, should act that way.

Walgreens pharmacy

On 6/26/2017 I went to have a prescription filled for my husband who was just released from the ER due to Hernia Surgery complications. When I arrived in the drivethru I submitted my prescription and my Drivers License which was required. Anyways the woman in the Drive thru tells me that she can not fill my husbands prescription until the next day since he was on a Narcotics less than ten days ago. On 6/19/2017 he had a prescription filled in which the bottle was labeled wrong. It said take 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for 10 days. The quantity on the bottle was 30. It was supposed to read take 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for 5 days. They would have known this have they done the math. 1 tablet every 4 hours would be 6 pills in a 24 hour period. 6 pills times 10 days would have equaled 60 pills not the 30 in which they wrote on the side of the bottle. It should have read 1 tablet every 4 hours as needed for pain for 5 days. 6×5=30. I am highly upset and I will never ever get my prescriptions filled by another Walgreens nor will I ever shop there. I was treated very badly and I ended up going to CVS instead that very same day and had my prescription filled so my husband wouldn't have to be in pain all night. Walgreens you just lost a good customer.

Walgreens photo processing kiosk

On 06/25/2017 at about 8:15 PM we went into the Walgreens at 37th street & 35th avenue, Evans, Colorado to use the photo kiosks for printing 4x6 photos. We have done business with this store for quite sometime. It appears that both Walgreens corporate management as well as local management (store manager : ie: Jim) does not want our business. We print hundreds of photos at a time but were abruptly challengeed by a store supervisor: ie: Danielle Palosso or Danielle Flopal (not sure of last name) and told tovget off the kiosks as other customers were waiting. This is outright DISCRIMINATION.

BOYCOTT ALL WALGREENS STORES.

Walgreens manager

The Manager named Janis at 7930 Beltline Rd, Dallas, TX 75254 was very rude on 06/16/17 approx. 7:00 p.m. The lady behind the counter was being harassed by a rude customer (cust was trying to use fake coupons) and was cussing at the poor lady behind the counter. Janis the so called manager would not take up for her employee and could not handle the customer that was trying to steal using bad coupons and said she couldn't handle being yelled at by the bad customer. This customer was yelling at the cashier, instead of having the bad customer leave (even though she came in just to harass) she said she couldn't handle it. I chose not to buy my things and had her void my transaction as I do not want to shop and buy at a store where the manager will not take up for her employee. She (manager) would not show me proof that it voided and she told me to get out of her store before she gets fired (for being a rude [censor] to me). I will NEVER shop at ANY Walgreen's again due to her rudeness to her own employee. I will go to CVS, Walmart or Kroger. Kristie Mayfield

Walgreens pharmacy

I have always filled my prescriptions before 8:00 am. I use a 24 hour Walgreens so that I can get my prescriptions before work. Today I was told all medications had to be filled after 8:00 am on the date of the prescription. The one refill was ready at 6:30 when I arrived. I have to be late for work to wait on a prescription that has never been an issue up to this point.

Walgreens refusal to take order from a licensed doctor

1309 Richmond road Williamsburg, Virginia

Bobby zimmers pharmacist refused to take a order for prescription from a licensed doctor. She claims she has the right to not accept from anyone. I want to know if this is a new walgreens policy. When pharmacy business is competitive this pharmacist behavior to very rude. She is abrupt and does not care for patient who suffers glaucoma and in need of medication. She filled wrong prescription for a different medication. Would take this further to state pharmacy board and DEA. Very bad pharmacy location.

Walgreens problems filling prescriptions

I have been going to Walgreens since 2007 for all my medications and I have been on and off pain medication since that time but I have consistently been on it since 2014. every four weeks I go to the doctors and I get my prescriptions. Now, I sometimes am able to fill them after 4 weeks, I'm sometimes not able to fill them after 4 weeks, it depends on the pharmacist, it depends on what day it is, if he's having a bad day, I don't know, but I am so fed up. Several months ago I asked them exactly how it has to be worded so I can fill it every 28 days. They told me today when I went to pick it up that it wasn't worded correctly. So I have reached my limit of patience. I am on disability and am very ill and stress just exacerbates the pain, etc. All I need is to know how to word my Oxycodone 30mg tablets, my Oxyconten 40 mg SR tablets and my D-salt combo 20 mg tablets. I simply cannot keep going on like this. I know I am only one customer, but I spend A LOT OF MONEY on these scripts. Whatever happened to Customer Service? Please advise me as to what I should do moving forward. Thanking you in advance for all your help.
Sincerely, Donna White

Walgreens banishment for life (I am 78) from walgreens

This is more a request based on a complaint against me. It is a valid complaint, in that unfortunately I did commit petty theft twice some weeks ago. Three days ago I was banned for life from the store on Adeline in Berkeley. I had not done anything. A life sentence seems pretty severe, especially since I am willing to sign a legal document verifying that I will never steal again...or do labor as penance. Can you help?

Walgreens female battery operated shaver

I made a purchase at Walgreens store #[protected] 34th st N St. Petersburg, Fl 33713. About two weeks after I attempted to return the item. The cashier told me that the item is not returnable. At first I thought this was a joke . He went on to bagger me about if I had made that purchase in the store. This Walgreens is the only one I ever used because it is close to my home. I spend thousands of dollars filling my prescriptions, printing photos and buying beauty products. I proceeded to ask for a manager since I didn't have my receipt I gave them my phone number which is linked to my rewards for them to attempt to return the product. The very rude shift lead Leigha still couldn't find the product. I don't understand how it is that every time I go to the store I either put my number in or scan my rewards card and they couldn't find the product? I was treated like a criminal who took the product from the store. I even offered to give my credit card i used to pay so that they may find the product. This is a blatant act to disrespect customers and someone is obviously not doing a good job of ringing up items in the store. I will transfer my prescriptions to another pharmacy and I will tell my friends and family not to use them

Walgreens pharmacy

Submitted a prescription I had to get as an emergency on may 31st, was told it had to be ordered and would be in friday june 2nd at the latest (3 different times, 2 of them after being told it would be in by june 1st). Now, after 48hrs, I just had an employee in the pharmacy tell me I should "probably just come pick up my prescription and take it somewhere else." now I am extremely sick and wondering why I ever used walgreens in the first place.

Walgreens photo

I dropped off my disposable camera over a month ago to get developed. There was a problem at fuji during development and they were mislabeled. I have talked to Fuji and multiple people at walgreens including the manager about where my pictures are and have given multiple descriptions. I keep getting told by Fuji it will be another week or walgreens staff say they will call Fuji and get back to me and they never do. I want someone to find out where my pictures are and not just tell me it will be another week. Or if they are lost I want to be compensated in some way. Thanks to Fuji and walgreens I have memories that are lost forever. I would like this matter solved immediately.

Walgreens photo department

6/1/17 - Store #6762 - Employee: Glinda
I printed 15 pix, but was not satisfied with how they looked. So I returned, taking a sampling of my pix, the receipt & envelope, & asked if I could re-print them. One employee said yes.
Glinda prepared the pix, but would NOT allow me to have the all the pix, unless I brought an even exchange of pix. They will simply be thrown out anyway, however.
So petty! There's too many stores and companies where I can get pix developed.

Walgreens filling prescription hostility whenever I rx narcotic pain meds

I am sick of racist pharmacists in stores like in collinsville and fairview heights, il giving me problems eg. Whenever i rx narcotics meds for patients i deem are sincere in their pains eg. Diabetic neuropathy. If they are so paranoid about these meds then the government needs to return my $700 fee for my legitimate dea license and i will gladly send any patients needing more than aleeve or ibuprofen to one of thiose pain management ctr which i think is the intentions of these racist beings at walgreens in order to force me out of business. But until then i would greatly apppreciate if these beings stop giving me and my patients a hard time and just fill the damn prescriptions and stop harassing me! i even paid for a stamp pad with my name, license number and dea number that use over my signature and still that is not enough. If this continues i will simply need to explain to patients to get the rx from their pcp and leave me alone because i am not getting paid anything for writing for rx!

Walgreens unethical behaviour / poor customer service

The purpose of this e-mail is to submit a compliant regarding pharmacist Ms. Glendali Camacho at the Walgreens in las Piedras, Puerto Rico store #945. The pharmacist failed to secure required documentation to insurance company thus noting my having to wait an additional 72-hours for medication approval. Please note that prescription was submitted 24-hours prior to today- day of pick-up but because they failed to follow protocol for insurance coverage of a medication that costs over $700.00 dollars; I was told in a condescending, rude and careless manner to move from the wait line and return when called for pick-up- possibly 72-hours.

It is important to note that I had to call the insurance line and inform pharmacy what to do since the pharmacist / manager Mr. Alexis Rodriguez were out of sorts and unsure what to do with regard to prior authorization of noted medication. As a result, I requested my prescription back- aided them in securing cancellation of scripts to submit to another pharmacy.

I will never use Walgreens' pharmacy services again since my health is paramount. The idea that persons like Ms. Glendali Camacho can come to the window and say..." well if you have $700.00 to pay for your medication you can stay in line but if not you have to leave and wait until we get to completing the process...come back with the money or within 72-hours.
I have never been treated like this and as a result; I will no longer use this service thus encourage others not to either. Please educate your staff and or replace with others that are approachable. Completely disappointed.
