My wife and I had the following
experience with pharmacy manager
Nadine Brown:
1) We arrived at the pharmacy and
begin speaking with a male
pharmacy tech, who found an issue
with our pharmacy order (namely
that the pharmacy had filed it
under the wrong person's name and
info).
2) As the tech was assisting us,
Manager Nadine Brown began
shouting at us from across the
pharmacy, yelling that it was the
fault of the doctor who called it
in - not her.
3) Nadine Brown walked over and
continued to yell at my wife and
I, so I asked for the name of her
manager so that I could report
her behavior.
4) Nadine Brown refused to
provide the name of a supervisor.
When I politely repeated my
request twice she instructed us
to leave the store due to my
"violent behavior" - if you look
at the security cam you will see
that I had not even moved. She
also refused to look into fixing
the problem with the doctor.
5) Needless to say, Nadine
interrupted the tech - who was
helping us with the problem - to
create an angry and verbally
violent scene in your store! And
my wife didn't get the medicine
that she very much needs for her
illness.
Ms. Brown may have been with your
organization for 20 years, but if
her behavior from today is any
indication, her management and
customer service approach is not
only driving business away from
your store but putting the safety
and lives of people who rely on
getting their medicine from
Walgreen's in danger.
Addendum: at 6 PM my wife's
doctor called in to complain to
Walgreen's pharmacy about your
pharmacist's behavior. Nadine
Brown, who previously tried to
get us thrown out of the store
for POLITELY requesting
assistance fixing her pharmacy's
mistake, answered the phone and
when the doctor told her that she
was behaving wrongly - both in
terms of her behavior and her
pharmacy-related error,
immediately acquiesced and filled
the medicine.
Shortly I will be filing an
official complaint with Florida
pharmacy licensing authorities
and will be researching other
available legal options for
ensuring that this woman's
abusive actions do not affect
people like the local Villages'
elderly populations who are less
able to properly advocate for
themselves.
Sincerely,
