The employee who was supposed to be upfront was in the back and was sorting through bags. Kept me waiting until she was done sorting bags. Customer service is nonexistent. They seem to be short staffed and not really care about patients/customers. With so many options, I don't have to keep giving business to a company that doesn't value my business. It's pretty bad, don't say I didn't warn you! ;-)

After getting disconnected multiple times, I called back and asked to speak with the Pharmacy…read moreManager. I was told the Pharmacy Manager wasn't available, so I asked to speak with any manager. The manager told me he thinks the Pharmacy Manager's name was "Lau" (he spelled it) and that the pharmacist answering the phones might be "Shemma." I told him that I had already been disconnected multiple times and was just trying to get my prescription. The manager wasn't rude, but it didn't really feel like I was talking to someone who was concerned about fixing the issue. I expected a little more urgency since why are the pharmacy staff acting like they answering calls and disconnecting them on "accident". Instead, the only solution offered was to transfer me back to the pharmacy and let them know I was waiting on the phone. When someone answered, I asked if her name was Shemma. She immediately responded, "Nope," and transferred me. I was connected to Shemma. I realized she wasn't the same person that had disconnected my earlier calls because her voice sounded different from the employee who had answered before. Since Shemma stayed on the line, I decided to ask about my medication and a possible prescription transfer between Walgreens locations. I explained that my regular Walgreens told me that if this location had the medication in stock, they could request the prescription transfer. Shemma told me, "No, I can't do that. Call that Walgreens to transfer it." This completely conflicted with what I had already been told, and I felt like I was being talked over. My biggest concern is still the employee who initially answered the phone. After one of the disconnections, I called back and asked for her name first because I wanted to know who was disconnecting the calls. I figured if the call got disconnected again, at least I would know who I had spoken with. When I asked for her name, she responded, "Sure," and the call was disconnected. This is another reason I strongly recommend asking for the employee's name at the beginning of the call. I feel like people are less tough when they know you know who they are. If you need to follow up, file a complaint, or reference a specific interaction, having the employee's name can make that process a lot easier. With that being said, I don't need my prescription to be filled here anymore. Goodluck to ya if you have to call this pharmacy.

A clerk told me they may be making the store smaller. That's why some shelves are cleared out. I was here on a sunny Saturday. Not too many customers, so I had a quick and easy experience. But the interesting thing was, they don't have alot of things locked up. Free parking in mall lot.

Pros.....location, ample parking, clean inside, and I got some vaccinations there. Cons....clerks are rarely of any help, pricing is so tricky/complicated that mistakes are made quite often. Even before COVID, there were a lot of empty spaces on the shelves. They rarely had all that I needed to get. It went downhill from there. I think most people come to a drug/variety store for (mostly) meds and personal necessity items. Instead they have groceries, patio furniture, plants (that look half dead from lack of water) and the ice-cream parlor. Speaking of which, while waiting in a line 6-deep.....there's a clerk scooping ice cream. If you are buying liquor, or even cough syrup......regardless of how old your are (I'm in my 70's) they require that you let them scan your driver's license (which gives them a lot of your personal info they have no business knowing). I can't speak for the pharmacy, cause I don't use it.....but I have seen a lot of one-star reviews from others.....? I won't miss them.....and look forward to a good store to move in to take their place, that will have full shelves and good management.

Customers should not be made to feel suspected of theft when asking for assistance. Is this a standard question you ask all customers? Or just Hispanic females?
