    My family has used the Walgreens pharmacy in Peru for several years. With two young children, we…read moreend up needing prescriptions filled every couple months. Many times, our experience has been perfectly fine, and we have met pharmacy staff who were genuinely helpful. But over the past year, we have consistently noticed longer wait times, sometimes even days for routine medications. On multiple occasions, prescriptions marked as "ready in a few hours" weren't filled until the next day. These delays are frustrating, but we understand that pharmacies can be busy and short‑staffed. However, today was my breaking point, and it will be the last time we use Walgreens for our prescriptions. Our one‑year‑old daughter has been sick all week and was diagnosed with an ear infection. The urgent care facility sent her antibiotic prescription to Walgreens. Shortly after, we received an electronic notice saying the medication was out of stock. When we called to request a transfer, we were told the antibiotic was actually in stock and would be ready in an hour. Near the end of that hour, we received another update pushing the pickup time out three days. When we called again, they then confirmed it was, in fact, out of stock. We asked that the prescription be transferred to a nearby pharmacy that had the medication. Walgreens told us their Ottawa location had it in stock and transferred it there. I called the Ottawa store several times with no answer. When I drove there, I found the pharmacy closed--at 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday. I then went to CVS in Peru, where they confirmed they had the antibiotic available but needed Walgreens to release the prescription. When I returned to Walgreens, the pharmacy was closed again without any explanation. I approached an employee, who wouldn't make eye contact and simply said the staff was on break. I waited more than 20 minutes. When the pharmacy employees returned, they seemed visibly irritated and offered no apology or acknowledgment of the situation when I explained what had happened. They did ultimately transfer the prescription, and we genuinely appreciate that. CVS, on the other hand, helped us immediately. They filled the medication quickly and treated us with basic kindness and understanding. CVS: 10/10 Walgreens: 0/10

    I would give a zero if I could but I hate being lied to first starters! I dropped off a script for…read moreeye drops at 4pm today. They said it would be 30 minutes and I had my granddaughter so I said I'd come back. I showed up at 6:45pm, and they claimed it would still take 10 minutes as they had a call off. Ok. So it will be ready 5 minutes vegore the next break??? Oh probably not, ok I will be back. Go back at 8pm, and she had the nerve to tell me that they just got the script!!! Like wth!!! No you had it since 4pm. It's eyedrops not a Russian layer cake!! It will still take 40 minutes too. I think someone is getting a bonus for these employees. I am pi$$ed!

    Pharmacy staff is rude. Tonight, they called to update me on insurance for a prescription. I called…read moreback and sat on hold for 46 mins. Once they got to closing time they simply picked the phone up and hung it up on me after sitting there for nearly an hour. So incredibly unprofessional and just flat out rude. 800 number doesn't deal with the type of prescription we need filled for my child so I have to hold whenever they give us the runaround and make it impossible to fill his prescription that he has to have to function in school. I am going to research new pharmacies after tonight because I am tired of the incredibly inconsiderate treatment to their patients. I am a nurse and I wouldn't dare hang up on a patient nor speak to them in the manner these folks do. Patients holding for so long when they can't speak to the 800 number is also just inexcusable. Covid is over, your staffing shortages have been reduced, find a new reason to be so awful!

    I've held a grudge against Walgreen's ever since they stopped accepting military insurance for…read moreprescriptions. I favor CVS because they actually take my insurance. So, you ask yourself, why the heck would she say that and give them five stars?? Well, while it is a huge issue for me that I cannot fill prescriptions there with the coverage of my insurance, I ended up there the other night because CVS has decided, in their infinite wisdom, that this portion of Iowa does not need the ability to fill a prescription at 10 p.m. at night. My son, who was in the ER until his release at 10 p.m., would likely disagree. He really needed pain meds, and I had very few options to fill the script. I ended up at Walgreens, resolving that his physical health and well-being was more important than the cost-savings of waiting until morning to fill the prescription. They quoted me the price, and I told them I would deal... it wasn't enormous, and it was better than making him suffer until morning. The pharmacist was very nice. I couldn't fault her for the lame fact that they do not take military insurance. I waited, and they filled the script. When I went to pay, she told me she had found a discount (I honestly have no idea if this was a coupon lying around or the fact that I happened to have a shoppers' card, but either way...). I saved about half on the script and my son slept better that night with the pain meds I was able to get for him. If Walgreens starts taking my insurance again, I will likely not bother with CVS anymore. I much prefer being able to fill and emergency prescription and having a nice pharmacist available to talk to, even in the wee hours of the night. 24 hour pharmacy... what a novel concept!!
