I don't go in to Walmart with high expectations, but my recent first experience at this pharmacy was just ridiculous. I walked into Walmart to pick up a much-needed prescription for my toddler (who had a moderate to severe case of croup). There were four people ahead of me in line and it took 25 minutes for me to get to the cashier. They only had one cashier on staff, but there seemed to be two or three other pharmacy staff members doing nothing, let alone think about opening another register to help speed things along. When I finally got to the front, I hid my irritability as the cashier apologized for the long wait and quickly rang up my prescription. However, since it was a controlled substance or something of that nature, I was required to have a consult with the pharmacist at the consultation area just to the right of the cashier. So, I stepped over and waited as the pharmacist finished a quick consult with another customer. Then, another Walmart employee, (not from the pharmacy), leans over the desk and proceeds to engage him in casual conversation. For FIFTEEN minutes, while I am standing there, the ONLY customer left at the pharmacy desk. I knew I had been seen by the pharmacist, yet he proceeded to take his sweet time with his conversation. I had an incredibly ill toddler with whom I had up with and at urgent care since 4 AM. When he finally came to finish my transaction, he simply asked me if I knew what the Rx was for and sent me on my merry way. I was livid, but am not the confrontational type, so this is where I'm lashing out. Such a BS wait time for a simple task. 30+ minutes for a transaction that should take 5 minutes at most. Two thumbs way, way down, Walmart. read more
