The entire staff has given notice and yesterday (April 28) was their last day. I for one will be leaving in the next week. Having been a customer there since the late 70's it is not an easy decision. However current management places no value on long term relationships. If I have to start with all new personal I will do it elsewhere. I urge all long-time customers to show your support for the staff who have left and shop elsewhere.

Walgreens Pharmacy has shown a level of negligence and incompetence that is not just unacceptable…read morebut life-threatening. For five days, they failed to refill a standing prescription for one of my brother's seizure medications. This is not a casual medication. It is one of four preventative drugs that keep him alive. Without it, he seizes. And when he seizes, he does not just get up and carry on with his day like some individuals with epilepsy might. My brother stops breathing. He needs a rescue medication administered immediately, or he will die. The last time his rescue medication was not available, my brother had a seizure that led to a stroke from lack of oxygen. They knew this history. They knew the urgency. And still, they failed him, disgustingly. Today, after five days of waiting on Walgreens to fulfill their basic obligation, he had another horrific seizure. This is not a clerical error. This is not a fluke. This is systematic disregard for human life. Walgreens, you have fcked around with the wrong family's safety. You treated this prescription as if it were optional, as if my brother's life didn't matter. He could have died. This pharmacy chain has proven they are not capable of handling critical prescriptions. No sense of urgency. No empathy. No accountability. You are playing with people's lives and then hiding behind red tape. Do better. Be better. Stop treating vulnerable people like they are disposable. You are not just failing as a business, you are failing as human beings. Shame on you, Walgreens.

When it comes to the pharmacy, I've only had nice experiences with them. The male pharmacist is always super nice and helpful. Maybe here and there the photo machine prints funny. My meds take a few days to be delivered because it's not in stock and hard to get. It's frustrating, but I know it's not their fault, it's a common problem. They also always return my calls and inquiries. I would give this location 4.5 stars

I had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience at the CVS Pharmacy located at 598…read moreMerrick Road in Rockville Centre. Earlier today, my doctor sent in three prescriptions. When I checked my patient portal, only two appeared to be available at this CVS location. Unfortunately, this has become a recurring issue, as this pharmacy frequently seems to be out of stock of commonly prescribed medications. After leaving my doctor's office, I transferred my prescriptions to another CVS location because I wanted to ensure all three could be filled together. Shortly afterward, I received a call back from a gentleman at the Rockville Centre CVS who informed me that although two prescriptions had been canceled, he was able to retrieve them and told me to come to the store to have them filled. I confirmed the address with him and drove there. Upon arrival, I approached the pharmacy counter and provided my information to a young woman working there. She briefly checked and immediately told me, "We don't have anything for you." I explained that someone from that very pharmacy had called me and instructed me to come in because my prescriptions could be filled. She checked again and simply stated there was nothing they could do. She then walked away while I was still speaking. What was most upsetting was not the prescription issue itself, but the complete lack of customer service. At no point did she attempt to investigate what had happened, contact another CVS location, locate where my prescriptions may have been transferred, or offer any explanation. Her tone was dismissive, short, and rude. I felt as though she simply wanted me to leave. A pharmacist who appeared from behind the counter ignored my concerns entirely and began assisting another customer when I questioned the way I was being spoken to. When I requested a manager's name or ownership information, I was told to "go online and call corporate." I then went to the front store manager for assistance. He walked back to the pharmacy with me and requested information on my behalf. At that point, Pharmacist Umar reportedly shouted from across the pharmacy, "That's all we have. Tell her to call corporate. We're not giving her any information." I was shocked by the lack of professionalism. I felt dismissed, misunderstood, disrespected, and treated as though my concerns did not matter. To make matters worse, while I was standing there, I overheard the same employee offering another customer assistance with transferring prescriptions to their location. When I asked why that same courtesy wasn't extended to me, I received no meaningful response. After leaving upset and confused, I visited another CVS location. The staff there quickly located my prescription, explained what had happened, transferred it appropriately, and filled it without issue. The entire situation could have been resolved in minutes had someone at the Rockville Centre location been willing to listen and help. No customer should be treated this way when trying to obtain prescribed medication. I expect better communication, professionalism, and basic courtesy from a pharmacy entrusted with people's healthcare needs.

And then she proceeded to say "They just tested the sh*t" to another worker, setting a bad example to kids like us. We repeatedly said sorry many times but the woman kept getting angry. She said "Do I walk into your f*cking house and test things" Now obviously, she has no sense in her brain as a house is different to a drugstore and my friend and I wanted to be the bigger person mentally and decided not to interact. She kept death staring my friend specifically, who was a person of color. They also kept following us around the whole time, making me lead to thinking they thought we were gonna steal because my friend was black. They repeatedly asked us questions more than 2 times before the incident occurred. Now, we decided to leave because it was disgusting of how they treated us and we saw 2 teenagers, white, throwing volleyballs. No equality in that store, and most definitely not any good quality of customer service.
