10 Reasons You Should Not Use Walgreens 1. Overpriced - plays games with the "sale price" which is really a discount off of a doubled or tripled price from what it should be. Regularly $10.00 and now "only $6.00" after the 40% off "discount" means that it is normally and should be a $3.99 at regular price. Don't fall for their tricks. It will be $3.99 next week after they see how many people weren't tricked by the ruse. 2. Incompetent - people there make a lot of mistakes! I moved my business out of their pharmacy after they were about to give me an overdose of what I needed. Good thing I checked, that could have been dangerous. 3. Cannot trust the company - they say they will take care of an issue and then do little or nothing. Whatever is best for them from a money standpoint is what they will do regardless of what they tell you or you want. 4. They will steal your rewards points - they changed their rules last year to reflect that they can cut you off as a customer at any time for any reason. Walgreens uses this as a profit center and will cut people off just so they can't redeem their points that they prepaid to receive. This is a disgusting practice that needs to be investigated by the feds. Redeem now. 5. Their photo lab is a disaster with poor quality reproductions. Check your copies against the originals and notice the difference! They should pay you for going there in the first place. Avoid the photo lab which has the machines down or malfunctioning much of the time with limited staff who has limited knowledge. 6. Some price stickers are not in the right place - and you might be overcharged if you don't catch this. Always check your register receipts and question any overcharges. Lots of out of stocks too including the advertised products. Don't let them upsell you on something else. 7. Do not take their surveys online or by phone - they can weaponize your answers and recorded conversation against you to discontinue you as a customer, confiscate your rewards dollars, plus not let you exchange or return any defective products they might be selling. Reminder that Walgreens is all about separating you from your money no matter what they have to do. 8. There is less in the packages they sell from manufacturers - my pasta sauce went from 30 ounces to 28 to 26 to 24 and now 22. Check the net weight and make sure you are not paying more for even less. Walgreens prices are very high to start with, and do not fall for their "high-low pricing." Go to Walmart instead where they use everyday low price so you can count on it and get a good value instead of ripped off by Walgreens. 9. Many employees are good and polite - but some are rude, arrogant, disrespectful, think it's all about them and not the customer, and actually are really dumb. Those who know the least know it the loudest, and many work at Walgreens. Some female employees at the store closest to me are so immature you would think they were juveniles in junior high school, and they are incompetent, lazy, uncaring. 10. Walgreens is shutting down stores claiming reasons other what is probably the case - they are getting their head handed to them by the competition, especially Walmart and Dollar Stores which are much better managed and offer much more value than Walgreens which is too self-important to realize it is totally failing. Jump off the Walgreens sinking ship which will feature more pricing games to separate you from your money and everything I stated above. This is a bad company that is going down as it should from they way they do business and mistreat their own customers. Walgreens is about to become a shell of itself with lots of store closures and continued mismanagement. They deserve that. What you should do 1. Shop at Walmart and other reputable stores that want to save you money and recognize the value of customers. They know that if you take care of the customers, the customers take care of you. Walgreens is greedy and puts its needs first above the customers. Use CVS Pharmacy. 2. If the company cheats you or tries to, contact your local Attorney General's office and consumer agencies. The more people who report Walgreens poor practices the better the chances they will be investigated and dealt with by the people who most matter to protect the public. Posting your complaints here and elsewhere is good, but reporting Walgreens to the authorities is better. Let's teach Walgreens that it's about the customers and not themselves. They probably do not deserve you as a customer, although they do de-serve their customers to enrich themselves. UsefulShare read more

This is the worst retail store and company ever. The photo lab truly sucks. Cuts off your photos on all borders giving you a distorted picture. Walgreens corporation knows of this problem and won't do anything about it. I got my credit card company to get my money back from the Walgreens bank when Walgreens wouldn't let me return the defective photos they knowingly sold. Thought they could do a hit and run on me but I ran them over to the tune of over $500 refund. Screw Walgreens! Some really bad workers in this store as well, who are dumb and with a bad attitude as if you, the customer, are subservient to them because they have a tin badge and a low-level title. A couple of females there should be fired, and the other employees there know who they are. If Walgreens gives you any defective merchandise they try to pawn off on you so they can save money at your expense, contact the following agencies or others in this order: your credit card company and force Walgreens to give you the refund (they have the power to siphon your money back from Walgreens bank), attorney general's office which can investigate Walgreens terrible practices and sanction them, and the better business bureau among others. Also tell your story on social media like yelp to alert others. This is not the same Walgreens it once was. Looks like it is struggling financially and will resort to tricking and stealing from its own customers. Don't let Walgreens or the parent company Walgreens Boots Alliance get away with it. Make your complaints known and alert shoppers not to go there. Many of Walgreens competitors are much better and value their customers unlike Walgreens. Walgreens sucks - don't shop at Walgreens. read more

This Walgreens is horrible so keep away and tell everyone not to go there. Ridiculous prices that are jacked up then put on "sale" so you still way overpay. Rude, incompetent, immature employees who can't get a job anywhere else. The few good ones are stuck in this bad company. If Walgreens cheats you go to your credit card company and ask for the refund if Walgreens refuses you. Do not sign up for the Rewards program as it is a scam. They might shortchange you there too as they do in other areas of the store. There is a huge amount of incompetence and arrogance here so check everything you buy carefully. There is also less product in the packages than before and they charge you more for it, what nerve! Take the survey and file complaints as needed. Look at all the bad ratings against Walgreens. It's good that you speak up to warn others. That's being a "good neighbor." Don't let Walgreens get away with mistreating and cheating customers. To complain about this or any Walgreens, go to the attorney general's office, better business bureau, consumer fraud division and also ask your credit card company to reimburse you if you were not sold what you believed was to be the case. The photo lab is a disaster so definitely do not use that. Go to Walmart which does a better job for a lower price and gives better value and quality for your money. Don't shop at Walgreens. Go to their competitors like Walmart or CVS because you deserve better than this shady place. Makes you wonder if they are on the brink financially to be pulling these bad business practices on their own customers. read more

This is a horrible Walgreens. Prices are very high, supposed "deals" are after regular prices have been doubled so they try to trick you into paying more than you should. All photos are cut off at the borders and warped, check them against your originals and compare. Get a refund if you were cheated this way and call your local agencies to complain. Indoor mask rule is not enforced making it dangerous to go into the store. Some employees are good, others are incompetent, immature, unintelligent and should not be working anywhere. Pharmacy overdosed me and I thankfully took my business somewhere else. You are much better off going to Walmart where they have more diversity of products, better prices (only 9 cents a print for photos), smarter people and much better customer service. Walgreens as a company has become worse and is only interested in your money, not you. Do not trust Walgreens. Go somewhere else to save money, be treated better, and not have to worry about their many, many mistakes. read more

This is the worst store I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. Some people there are lazy, dumb or both and should absolutely be fired. The customer service is terrible, they have FAKE "Sale" signs on their products which are jacked-up prices way beyond the suggested retail price. The store and company is hoping that you don't notice what the previous cheaper prices were. You should write these down and then compare to the fake "sale" price designed to cheat you. Plus they put less in the packages than they did before. Take note of this as well. All to cheat you out of your money. The photo lab and pharmacies also both suck. The photo lab quality is very bad and overpriced, and the pharmacy has so much incompetency they should be investigated by the feds. Don't go to Walgreens - any Walgreens. Their mission is to get as much out of you for themselves and not take care of their customers. They are greedy, dumb, and should be put out of business by the regulators. read more

Cannot recommend this or any other Walgreens. Very poor in every aspect of the store. Often rude to the customers with impunity as if they have a badge and are the boss and you are just the customer. Often can't find an employee there when you need one, and when they finally arrive it's like they're doing you a favor in doing their job. Recommend all the customers show them who's boss and not go there, to any Walgreens. There are many better stores in the area that treat customers with respect, appreciate the business, and provide better products and service with much better prices. Beware that Walgreens doesn't cheat you with shortchanged prescriptions, putting less in the packages, raising the prices to absurd levels, and disrespecting its own customers. Walgreens used to be decent but not any more. Don't go to Walgreens. read more

I absolutely do not recommend this store, or any Walgreens any more. It is often dirty and dangerous at night. The service there is spotty. Sometimes the store is closed when it should be open. Some employees are very rude and dumb and should be dismissed. There is less in the packages you buy than before often at higher prices. Is this a trick or a scam to get more of your money? Machines in the store malfunction. Sometimes the intentions to help the customer is good but the performance and results are bad. Shop at other stores in the area that are better at everything than Walgreens. The company is a shell of its former self which is a shame that and now turned into a sham. read more

My photos came out warped and the company would not do anything about it. I got my credit card company involved and they got me my money back, hundreds of dollars. Walgreens fought it but lost because they sell defective merchandise and know it. Walgreens simply sucks. Do not shop there. So many bad things about it. Not recommended. Avoid all Walgreens. read more

Among the worst companies I have ever encountered! Not the same company it used to be. Check everything they do carefully. Do not get shortchanged. I believe they do things like this on purpose to hustle you out of your money and maybe number of prescription pills. Beware of the new, greedy, insensitive, incompetent Walgreens. read more

Busy branch in Allentown, and only one register attendant, resulting in long lines and customer dissatisfaction. The store has a decent inventory, but low-quality products. Average photo center with varying wait times and quality. read more
