usually don't waste my time leaving reviews, but after what I've been through two days in a row at…read morethis pharmacy, I feel like I have no choice. If they won't hear me in person, then I'll make sure I'm heard here.
This experience was not just frustrating -- it was exhausting, humiliating, and disrespectful of my time, health, and basic needs. I went to pick up my prescription on my lunch break -- which is the only real meal I get in my day -- because I needed my medication to feel better and function. Instead of helping me, the staff gave me attitude for a mistake they made, wasted over 20 minutes of my time, and then told me I'd still need to wait longer while they "check with my doctor." Why even have the prescription in the first place if you're not going to fill it?
So not only did I miss my lunch, but I also left without my medication. My time clearly meant nothing to them. The attitude, the lack of urgency, the dismissiveness -- it felt like, "Let's just get rid of you, we don't care." That's how they treat people here.
And it didn't end there. I was so frustrated I called Walgreens online support afterward. Same story. They acted like they cared, said I'd get a call back -- nothing. I called again around 9 PM, sat on the phone until about 9:20, only to be told they "can't escalate" because they close at 9. So why was I even on the line with them? Why waste my time again just to tell me it's too late?
So here I am -- needing to take my medication before bed because otherwise I'll wake up dizzy and sick -- and I still don't have it. I even called another pharmacy to see if they could help, but they didn't have it in stock. All of this chaos was caused by Walgreens' mistakes, but I'm the one who had to pay for it. I'm the one who had to be "understanding" while they dismissed me, wasted my time, ruined my day, and left me without the medication I need to function.
What hurts most is that Walgreens used to stand for something. I trusted this company. I even once wanted to work here because of its history and values. But after this? It's clear Walgreens isn't about people anymore. It's about profit, shortcuts, and pretending to care while patients suffer.
The Round Rock pharmacy team at store #799 has been careless, unhelpful, and completely unprofessional. And corporate support wasn't any better. Walgreens failed me on every level today -- as a customer, as a patient, and as a human being.
At this point, I finally understand why people are switching to CVS.
