If I could leave negative stars, I would
This pharmacy is the absolute biggest nightmare to deal with that I've ever had in my life. They told me it was gonna be 15 days before they had my medication so no problem. I'll call every Walgreens in the county and then I found the medication wouldn't you believe it after the first phone call to the closest one down the street on 41 at Lakewood and then they had my medication ...it's almost like they are so incompetent they can't use a computer that I had to do their job for them.
OK fine no problem ..
well ,three weeks later I had another prescription.
Again they dont stock this on the shelf either. OK no problem. I'm supposed to take the medication every day, but I'll wait 7-15 days for you to order it
Fifteen days later I have to call them and hound them every day hours daily and it ended up taking them 12 more days to fill the prescription.
OK no problem.
Third time I need a prescription, same BS..
They don't stock the meds
So, I get it one week worth at a time it's pain medication.
So they don't have it blah blah , They gotta order it so I have to go thru wd now bcuz they don't stock one of the most common medication's in America , buprenorphine...ok fine
So you know the drill I picked the phone up and I called three Walgreens within a 5 mile radius and all of them carry the drug.
So I tried to call and get the pharmacist on the phone to tell them this but basically I was told I called a call center when I called the specific Walgreens they were telling me they weren't at the specific Walgreens I called and I was like well this kind of doesn't even really need to be directed at the specific Walgreens it could be dealt With by say a corporate manager or another locations competent employee of any ranking , meaning it doesn't have to specifically be the pharmacist it could just be a pharmaceutical assistant that isn't dumber than a pile of rocks.
Now they're telling me it could take 15 MORE days to get it, when I just told them I already did the leg work for you and called every Walgreens in town and oddly, every other Walgreens carries it.
My insurance company forces me to deal with Walgreens or I wouldn't deal with them and it's like they know that and they just stick their knee on your throat and just don't care.
They're rude , snide, condescending and arrogant, and they really are just unbelievably out of line. I would be fired from my job if I handed somebody a plate of food and treated them that way at a restaurant where I work but they deal with people's life or death medications and are permitted such power over our lives
Its sickening and should be something people get fired over...
I'd say just about every person that I deal with at Walgreens, was rude beyond words and unhelpful purposely
Employees like this should see the door instantly you're not dealing with somebody's rubber bucket, and plastic shovel for beach, sand castles. This is people's life or death medication. in some cases you know ,I'm supposed to be taking every one of these 4 medication's every single day not whenever Walgreens pharmacist feel like getting off their lazy butt and figuring out how to get the medication there under a half a month, since me ,a nonemployee figured it out every single time!
Unreal.
Then they treat u like crap on top of it all they are the rudest most snide arrogant people in the world that literally use their authority over you to delegate medicine to F with people
I'm a pretty patient and understanding person but when somebody does stuff like this eventually I do get upset like any person would
So, my advice to anybody that could stand my message and make it this far, would be that if you have a choice ,NEVER deal with Walgreens EVERRRR
NEVER EVER EVER EVERRRRR!!!!
Because they are the most horrific and incompetently rude SOBs in the pharmaceutical dispensary industry in America.
I changed insurance carriers and now thank Christ on the first I'll never have to look at another godforsaken, rude, snide, smarmy, arrogant, incompetent , Walgreens employee ever again.
-5 stars
The Radio Rd., Walgreens is horrible. The Lakewood Walgreens is horrible. Every Walgreens I've dealt with in the last nine weeks of this nightmare was horrible
If the people that work at Walgreens, like let's say the pharmacy tech or the pharmacist could pick up a phone or use a computer all of this could've been avoided because all of this waiting around and making me wait weeks to take medications I'm supposed to take every day could've been avoided if they could've just literally interacted with other local stores and it just seems weird that their first response to somebody who needs a medication every day they don't carry would be sorry we don't carry it. It's gonna take a month ....not let me call another local store and see if they have it funny I could figure that out I don't work at Walgreens
How odd
