Get off the sinking ship before you get stranded without your needed meds.
I wrote this before and it needs repeating for two reasons.
First, the most important to Walgreens, if you don't have what we need you will lose our business because we have to find our drugs someplace else, so if I can find it at king soopers I will stay with this store until they fail me. You guys are closing stores, you should be aware if your not going to keep our drugs in stock you lose customers, and your response to the patient is if we get it you will get it and if we don't you can search other places... this doesn't sound like a place that wants to keep my business.
Now let's talk patients... I have been with this store for years, getting the same script for over 20 years, morphine. How hard is it to say "Mr Scalf needs this morphine every 2 months for the last 20 years, let's make sure we keep it in stock for his next refill"
How hard can it be to say this person for the last 20 years has came to our store and needs it... it's morphine! I am not Changing the dose every month, not changing anything! It's the same script for 20 years! How hard would it be for the customers that come in monthly for the same drug to keep it in stock!
I have played the well we don't have enough, go look at other stores to find it it's not our problem! You don't even care enough to tell me where to find it.... Withdrawal is a nasty nasty thing to put anyone through and you all don't seem bothered enough to see it from the patients perspective, you just don't care.
Yes America is in a pill issue, and what did you do? Instead of patient first you all have taken the stand... if we don't have it, to bad to sad enjoy your withdrawal.
So, I shifted several scripts now to king soopers because you don't have it and you don't care to pretend to get it. When I tell a pharmacist that my morphine ends on Tuesday and he states a shipment may or may not come in on that Tuesday...that If I run out and if they happen not to get the shipment...my options then will be call around and see if you can find it! This is your care promise to your patients!
You could put things in place to prevent this and yet you don't care enough to put it in place. So as a customer I have to go someplace I can trust, someplace that will try to keep me out of withdrawal, some place that cares enough to say " we don't have this in stocks but I can find it for you or get it for you before you run out"
Nope.. I get " if we don't have it by the time you run out, your on your own"
So with your stores closing it seems if I was a betting man we will soon hear 50% of your stores will be closing soon, so the best bet is to get off the sinking ship and find another place that I can trust to have my script and not have to worry every time I go to fill a script if you will have it or just send me somewhere else that I have to find with no help from the pharmacy.
I will post this on yelp as well, it will be labeled 'get off the sinking ship before you have to go into withdrawal'
I don't know who's fault this is, I don't know who is supposed to keep drugs in stock for your patients of plus 20 years, but it seems like you are all in a wait and see if we are going to close this store to see if we need to order more drugs.
So, I called king soopers, they have the drug I need and I will stay with king soopers with this drug until they say they can't.... Meaning I have 4 or 5 other scripts that Walgreens's still has, so now I have to ask myself do I want to transfer all scripts to do one shop stop.
I am not the only one you are doing this to, so what happens when folks start getting tired of playing with 2 pharmacies?
It just seems to me, because this is about the 20th time I had to play 'hunt your drugs someplace else if you want them'
It seems to me you are not telling the public you are about to close many of these stores and leave many people struggling and panicking to find a place they can trust to deliver and receive the drugs we need. read more
