Walgreens
reviews and complaints

On 7/8, I made an appointment on line for the Bridgeport Main St location for a PCR Covid test thru the drive thru for 7/9 at 9:30am. I arrived at my scheduled time to the drive thru, only to discover that the pharmacy was closed. I tried calling the store only to be re routed to a call center where I tried to find out what was going on. I ended up hanging up on the person I was speaking with because she was clueless. My husband ended up going into the store and spoke with the manager who stated that the pharmacy was closed on Saturdays and it had nothing to do with him. Why would the system even let me schedule an appointment if the pharmacy was closed? Why wouldn't there be some sort of cancellation sent? Most importantly, why would a pharmacy be closed on a Saturday? Needless to say, I went to CVS and got right in, and now all of my prescriptions and business will be there going forward.

never had this problem before. I'll get an email from walgreens saying one or more Rx ready for reordering. when logging in I get the same error--sorry this is service is unavailable at this time, making it impossible to order my RX. because of this I may be ordering from Express Scripts from now on. Even thou I dislike home delivery because Walgreens is only 2 miles away from me.

I would rather order from you online when I need it but your online service is making this impossible.

July 8th 2022 at Walgreens on chestnut cross Steiner in sf ca manager abused me he yelled at me to get out of his store the security guard was nice to me the cashier was mean I am tramatozed and discriminated by that manager he is a hatefull monster I have gone to that Walgreens for fifeteen twenty years because of the COVID I didn't go now I'm abused! I needed to get therma flu and Carmel and Tylenol and hair color kit splat bleach and perfume

I sat in my car in the drive-thru with one car ahead of me for thirty minutes on 7/7/22 I literally called the pharmacy from my car to ask why the drive thru was not moving and "Alicia" chastized me for a good three minutes, I then laid on my horn to get their attention at which time the I had some choice words with "Alicia" the chastizer, and at this time she called over the pharmacist, he and I had words and he refused to sell me my mothers rx's my gets over a $1000 per month there and that is the worst I have ever been treated by someone. I transferred all of her rx's to walmart and the pharmacist won't transfer them, so unless you people want a lawsuit I would suggest you transfer these prescriptions ASAP. ASHOLES.

To sign up for an appointment for COVID testing, you must go through the website. On the website it states that testing is at no cost to me. I sign up on 5 July for testing to happen on 6 July 2022. I get to my appointment, and they say I have to pay $125, and insurance will not cover it. What's going on? Either fix the information on the website or stick to what the site says...

I was a good co worker at that Walgreens at 3522 West Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin until store managers Matt and Mr. Carl Jones fired me over some BS and They did the same thing to Melissa by firing her too! This Walgreens store is sick, twisted evil and rotten, Because the store managers be trippin and they be on that BS, This Walgreens don't open 24 hours a day and They close at 12:00am midnight Because black men and black women panhandlers be standing outside in front of the store asking, begging and harrassing good customers for money and change and That makes customers very uncomfortable! Black people and Black customers be stealing from that Walgreens store, That's why the security guard be coming to that Walgreens early in the morning. That's why these good co-workers Serena Rehak, Mechelle Halverson, Vanessa, Tara, Brittany, Kasheena, Carmen, Marcell, Titus, Kristin in the Pharmacy department and the other good black and white co-workers left this Walgreens, Because of the store's BS and The store managers BS, This Walgreens needs to close and shut down permanently!

On July1,2022 I purchased Zolpidem Tabs 10 mg, Aurobindo from Walgreens.

This medication does not work as has alter my sleep pattern to NO SLEEP AT ALL.

I’ve contact the local Walgreens Rx she stated to contact my doctor.. (REALLY) The doctor did write the prescription but Walgreens should make patients aware that they change mfg. for this medication. $$$$ My health plan and I paid Walgreens the same and I want my medication to be the same…B/S

One pharmacist and no other staff at the pharmacy. Poor woman was manning the front, the phones and drive through by herself! Shame on you Walgreens!

June 27, 2022, at approx. 6:30 pm at Walgreens store# 10177. on receipt, it is AID A000000025010901. I will never come to this Walgreens for Pharmacy service again. My girlfriend is bipolar and does not make any money. I went to pick up meds for her. The first he asked me was, did I know the price for her med, as some were expensive, I asked the staff (male Hispanic, black hair approx. 5'11' ) to check the price on Good RX. He asked me which one? and that 'often' the insurance price is better. In my mind I thought, he should just check the expensive ones. I requested he check them all. he refused. then demanded I show him the GoodRx card, which I told him was on file. I had one on my phone, but I needed to look for it. he insists I show him the card, I became agitated, and finally the manager (a black shortish middle-aged woman stepped in), she looked up the prices and it turned out I saved $50 using GoodRx on one med. if I let the male staff BULLY me, I would have lost $50. They said I was being 'rude'. It is not my behavior that is rude. it is theirs. I asked the manager for his name or employee #, but she refused to give it and even said that 'he was their best employee'. The staff needs to understand that they are to be paid to provide a service to the customers. This male staffer seems to feel that if he feels like it, he will check the prices on Good Rx and give me the best prices. In this case, if I did not insist, I would have paid $50 more. That is a lot of money for my girlfriend who is not working and struggling financially. The idea that they can 'bully' customers so that they become too afraid to ask seems to be their manner of operation. I refuse to give my business to a company who allows their staff to operate in this manner. What is WalGreens mission statement.

I will not use Walgreens again.

My mom went to pick up her blood pressure prescription Saturday only to find out pharmacy was closed. They are closed on Sundays. I called Sunday to see if anyone could get her meds for us since they were ready. Was told “No” but they would be open at 8 today. I set an alarm to be there at 8, since her pressures are getting concerningly high. Drive- through is closed. I park and walk in and the doors are still closed in pharmacy. I ask an employee when they open. She calls their shift leader and then tells me they should be open any minute. I stand there and stand there- nothing. A pharmacy employee walks by and tells me pharmacy doesn’t open until 10. I tell her they just told me 8. There is a sign that says 10. So even the employees and managers on duty don’t know what the hours are!? I explain to the employee that I really need my mom’s meds could someone just ring them up since they were ready. NO! I explain that if her pressures get much higher I’ll have to take her to ER. “ Sorry, our registers are closed.” Used to be able to rely on Walgreens. Beyond disappointed and frustrated! They said they only have one pharmacist so they are short-staffed. I understand that. But when the meds are ready and there are pharmacy staff there, in a situation like this can a register not be opened?

Night manager Navada Taylor at Walgreens #15344, 11500 W. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23233 refused to ring up 6-inch Smile&Save Paper Plates, 64S [protected] at the price on the shelf of 2 for $3.50. Time was 6:22 p.m. on 6/23/2022. She charged me 50 cents more than the shelf sticker which was not a sale price. This complaint is not so much the money, but the manager being obnoxious in telling me to leave them or pay the price of $2.00 each. She told me the price might change on the 24th and I had to pay that price. I have never had a store refuse to go by the shelf price. The manager definitely needs trained in customer service and service with a smile instead of staring me down. Her attitude was that Walgreens management won't care about my complaint. I will switch my nearly $1,000 out of pocket pharmacy business to another brand pharmacy if I have to deal with untrained obnoxious staff. I have a photo of the shelf sticker price of 2 for $3.50.

This is an ongoing issue with your pharmacy every time I try and get my regular prescription refilled it is always always a problem it’s either blamed on the fact that the insurance company won’t come through even though I’ve offered to pay out of pocket or it’s some kind of an issue with them not being able to fill it for some of a reason every time I go to refill a simple prescription for testosterone it never is successful and is never easy your pharmacy here at this particular store 3361 North Litchfield Rd. in Goodyear Arizona it is the absolute worst customer service they absolutely do not care about customers in line at the pharmacy nor do they have a desire to help I do not expect any kind of a return call or return comment from Walgreens as I know that I am only one customer and I mean absolutely nothing to you. the fact that I’m not returning to any Walgreens ever means absolutely nothing to you and you will never feel a single tiniest dent in your profits. However should you decide to actually give a damn and try and at least contact one of your prior customers in hopes that maybe they won’t slander your name for the rest of their lives you can call me at [protected] my name is Bill Johnston.

On June 21 2022 I purchased 5 bags of the above mentioned items. The purchased amount was 2/6.00. The total amount should have been 15.25 I was charged 18.00. I explained to the Manager about the charge was wrong she said the system is right, and there's nothing she can do. I was requesting my refund.

I went to Winslow Maine walgreens on 6/15/22 and again I received really ride customer service and then the cashier would not accept my coupons for items and prices on 2 items were not rang up at the price on the sign instead I was told that the sign is not valid it's an expired price. Next I asked the not to put 6 bottle of Arizona iced tea and large bottle of body armor juice all in one bag along with other items but they did exactly that when I went to take the bag off the counter I told the lady that handles were going to break the bag was going to rip she shrugged her shoulders at me and told me carry it from the bottom this wasn't possible since I had when I got outside the bag lifting everything went all over the top of that before I could even get to my vehicle

I was shorted 100 Tamsulosin fairly recently, and that issue did get resolved to My satisfaction.

This new issue, however, has not been resolved. I started taking Tramadol that My Doctor prescribed on April 30th. It had a refill that I had filled on May 26th, that I picked up on the 28th, so I would have them to start taking after the original prescription was gone. I started taking that prescription for Tramadol on Tuesday May 31st. I take 4 a day as prescribed. On Saturday June 4th, just after my 2nd Tramadol for that day, and I decided to count my Tramadol. I took 18 from that prescription so far up to that point so I should have had 102. I had 62. 40 Short!

Since that day I have been to that pharmacy at least 4 times to get the issue resolved. The Pharmacy Manager Noah, (something. I don't know His last name), said He would give Me what They owe Me, but wouldn't do it again. He didn't do that, and tried to make Me feel like I was trying to rip them off. I Told Him, "Either You need to re-calibrate Your counting machine, or someone is taking meds from people." He shot back with, "No one is taking meds", and not one word about the machine, which I still think is very funny. Not funny ha ha, but funny strange/odd. Also This. Excuse Me? If they short Me meds again, They WILL be giving Me what They stole from me! He said something about My Doctor, and I was so upset by then I just left.

Today I went there again and He wasn't there. So the head pharmacist should have resolved My issue, but refused to do so. I threatened to call the Police which I am still very close to doing.

I called My doctor a few minutes ago and left a message. He works all day in Iowa at Veterans Medical, and after He leaves there He usually comes over here in Illinois to work a few more hours each evening. I am currently waiting for Him to call Me back.

Noah did not even need to drag My Doctor, who is a solid good Man, into this mess. The More Noah tries to upset Me enough that I just give up, makes Me think He is the one who stole My meds. Stranger things have happened! A Customer there told My Wife that Her Mother had been shorted Meds MANY Times at that same Walgreens Store! So This is not an isolated incident!

Also She and My Wife heard a worker behind the pharmacy counter say, "He's a hippie, so I wouldn't do it either". That is VERY DISCRIMANATORY and Worthy of Note!

I do have long hair, which I started growing that way when I was young as a silent rebellion, to People treating others like they are not worth the time it takes to look at or talk to. I am now 60 years old and have always led a life that I think God want's Me to lead. I am always polite to strangers and do things to help the down trodden, when I am able to do so.

This store btw is at 4000 Avenue of the Cities in Moline, IL. 61265.
