Walgreens shorted my prescription on 2 occasions.
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
I have chronic back pain and rheumatoid arthritis. I take Tramadol for pain. My prescription is for 180 a month. Twice in a row Walgreens has shorted me by 90. The first time I caught it before I left the store. The next time I asked for a count and they were too busy but assured me the count was right. Well, I get home and it was short 90. I called and they said since I left he store there was nothing I could do. I said I would have to file a corporate complaint for their store and the person said if I did that I'd be sorry. I am pretty sure the pharmacist is stealing from customers.

rude and horribly mean spiteful employees in pharmacy
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
Every time I go into pick up my medicine there is a young girl who works there who talks to people like they are crap. She makes rude and mean faces at customers through the drive thru window! She even said what are you doing here, when I had a text message telling me to pick up my medicine! She should never work in customer service! I will never encourage people I know to go to this store! Ever! I work in a complaint department dealing with unsatisfied customer, I would never treat my customers like she does. It would put us out of business! Horrible place!

Policies
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
After returning one hour later with a "Pur" water filter that was missing parts to get my "cash" purchase back I was told your policy is that I HAD to give my name, address AND phone number. OR, I could not get my money back. You did not ask for this info when I bought the item. Being that I presently have 53 telemarket callers harassing me daily "MY Policy" is not to give it out anymore. WHY do you DEMAND this? After a screaming match with the idiot behind the counter, I relented with a fake number. When he saw I was getting crazy why didn't he just put...

Twice this happened on two separate occasions
Customer: "hi we are here to to pick up a prescription our doctor called in earlier today"
Walgreens: "we don't seem to have a record of it, come back in 20 min while we will check our voicemails"
1 hour later
Customer: "we are back for our prescription that was called in"
Walgreens: "we don't have a record of it call your doctor in the morning"
Do you really thnk our Dr forgot to call in our prescription on two different occasions?

Walgreens Gresham OR--continuing prob of not enough stock of sale item
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
constantly advertising producets not in stock, the day the ad starts. In this case It's a fre in-store coupon for Poise Body Cooling Towelettes.Good for only 13 days and as usual no rproduct on shelf and no one seems to knw when it will be in stock.
This is a common problem with Walgreens...advertising but not enough or no product available and in most cases, given a rain check that if you try to redeem in a reasonable amt of time, the product is still nhot in or not enough to cover rain check.
If you are going to advertise a product that is quick to sell,make up a special...

Excellent
Walgreens Consumer Review
I have never had someone so polite as the individual I had at the Walgreens #4679. I went into the store on 1/28/13 at 10:30pm I was in a crappy mood and was a little snooty and rude to the cashier. Instead of feeding into it the cashier turned it around and had me laughing so hard I almost passed out. That was exceptional customer service that you rarely see in El Paso. I wish I knew his name to put in the review because he was one of a kind.

continuously rude associate
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
Dear Walgreens, I have been going to my neighborhood Walgreens for nearly four years now, and tonight was probably the last time. You have an associate at the Holly Hills, Fla. store that has been so incredibly rude to me and my boyfriend every time we go in there. Every time we walk in the door she calls for 'security check all isles' as she watches us walk in-without greeting us. Within two minutes of being in the store we have at least three other associates gawking at us down each isle. We have people standing over us, extremely overly helpful as if to rush us along.

Shorted me 46 Vicodin pills yet charged me for the 90 I should have had
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
I have a lot of degenerative discs that have ruptured and will keep getting worse every year. When I went to Walgreens to pick up my prescription refill, there were only 44 pills and there should have been 90. Somebody at Walgreens Pharmacy stole 46 vicodin from my pill jar. This one wasn't double counted or initialed like the others always are. The pharmacist, Mark Jones, was uncaring, unfriendly, unconcerned that there was a thief in their employ and walked away after telling me I was making it up. I guess the Walgreens thief must have thought he/she needed my 46 pills worse...

Walgreens refuse to fill doctors prescriptions
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
After 3 years of taking my medication, I walked in to the store by my house to drop off my prescription, and the pharmacist informed me that they no longer will fill my doctor's prescriptions. They would not explain why and I felt like a complete fool. How can a pharmacist tell a well respected pain management doctor that the doctor is wrong in writing prescriptions that people need? They are not doctors! they do not know a patients medical history! So I took my prescription over to another chain pharmacy and they told me that Walgreens does NOT have the right to refuse a patients...

Pharmacy too busy to answer the phone or fill prescriptions
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
The only Walgreens within 20 miles of my home is unreachable by phone, and tells me the soonest a script will be filled is 4 hrs. This has been the case 10 times in the past 6 months. I've overheard their conversations when waiting to pay, saying regarding people in the drive-thru lines "here comes more, I'll wait 10 min. That should get rid of some of them." I've heard the head pharmacist actually say about people in the drop-off line "did you try telling them it'll be at least 4 hrs., that should run most off." These we're on separate...

Walgreens spams Alzheimers patient cell phone

Got a cell phone call from 402.220.1247. It was a 2 minute commercial for Take Care clinics. At the end it says press 1 to have any question answered. I pressed one, got put on hold for 2 more minutes, and then a recording comes on that states no one is available to answer my call, and it hangs up/.
I have never been to a take care clinic, and my only contact with Walgreens was to fill prescriptions.. I called Take Care clinics to get my number removed from their call list, and was told They could not do that unless I gave them even more personal info:. I argued that all they need is the...

Beverley Road,Brooklyn NY 11218
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
Lack of sale items, rude staff. I went in for a sale item that did not have a limit. Suddenly, the limit is 2. The manager offered nothing for my trip in to his store. I boycotted Walgreens up until last month. I received a card and went back to today. I immediately went home and called the 800 number and cancelled my rewards card. I will never shop at Walgreens or Duane Reade. Nothing has changed in 18 months.

Walgreens Bullhead City NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
Several times I have been to Walgreens in Bullhead City AZ.
Today I waited to pickup my prescription. I waited in line for 20 minutes (they handled
3 people during that time, including the ones who were at the counter when I arrived). My legs were hurting so bad, I couldn't stand anymore so I left. At that time there were 5 people in line (about an hour wait?).
The line was about 15 people long, with 1 person at the counter.
I think they should have brought more help to the pharmacy (maybe even the manager)-- maybe get a few people who just had pickups out of the line.
There have...

Non-functional on-line pharmacy
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
After a month, and hours on the phone, no prescription. Doctor submitted it three times - twice by fax, once by phone, before Walgreens "found" it. That took 10 days. Then Walgreens website kept saying "no orders at this time". More phone calls. "Yes we have the stuff, will ship in a day or so - 17 days delivery (small vial, non-refrigerated). Several days later, "hasn't shipped, you haven't paid." I'd given credit card #, but even if not, shouldn't their system have noticed and contacted me???? 10 days later. Half of order...

Treatment of Employees
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
Walgreens lies to employees to get them to sign up for bogus benefits and has made it so difficult to access the proper way to submit a claim, that most of the $$$$ put into these programs is not being paid out for intended use. If not paid out Walgreens does not refund or roll over $$$$$ it simply steels the funds and the employee looses all the way around.

Awful
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
My kids and I are in my Cigna open access private insurance and we came to your Walgreens on fry road and 529 in Katy , Texas . I had talked to this pharmacist that was from overseas that was very intelligent and knew how to do the private insurance . There is alot of welfare ( state insurance) going through that store. We went into your store after I made appointments online for me and my 2 teens and my 9 year old . And there was an African American pharmacist that didn't understand how to run my private insurance . So could please stop this from happening to another family . Thank you

Insane manager FORCED me to return my purchase
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
I had a horrific experience today at one of your Walgreens in Orlando, FL. I was buying the One Touch Verio IQ Diabetes Meter that was 69.99. Walgreens' coupon policy states that I can use one manufacturer and one Walgreens coupon per item. I used a $50 coupon found in the Walgreens October IVC Booklet as well as a $30 manufacturer coupon that I found in the "Diabetes and you" booklets found in the pharmacy. Now when doing the math using both coupons would have given me a negative balance of -$10.01. Other stores like Walmart for example will allow you to use this negative...

Walgreens - failure to honor $25 RX transfer coupon
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
I recently called the Walgreen on S. Golden Rd., in Golden, Colorado, to make sure that I would be eligible to receive a $25 gift card if I transferred a valid prescription from Safeway. After being told that I would receive it, I had them transfer & fill the RX. When I picked it up, they refused to give me the coupon. I have private insurance from Aetna/Medco, NOT through the gov't. I was told that there were "restrictions". When I read the coupon, I saw NO restrictions that pertained to me. I feel that this is a blatant case of false advertising and I intend to...

Walgreens Consumer Complaint

After submitting our paper work for a "Flu Shot", we were told that there would be a 15 min wait. After watching others being serviced ahead of us for 30 min, we ask how long it would be, and was told it could be another 30 min. This is not a very well run store and should be avoided if at all possible.

Walgreens ridiculously overpriced prescriptions
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
Just switched my husband's medications from a small local pharmacy to Walgreens since we are moving soon & we thought it would be easier to get refills through a chain until he gets established with a new doctor. Presciption was over $200 and we had been paying under $50. When we called to ask why and if there was any way to be compensated in any way we were treated rudely by both local & corporate employees. Found out later same drug at Walmart is $25.

He rudely said: "No. Go to the front register".

Walgreens Consumer Review
I have been a customer of Walgreens in Martinsville VA, Greensboro Rd since they opened the store. I am a express scripts insurance policy holder and still use their pharmacy, Why you may ask? Walgreens has the best pharmacy manager and staff and let's not forget about their store staff either, I had rather pay more for meds than to switch pharmacies because they give you excellent service and I consider that the most Important issue when it comes to my health.Donna is the head pharmacist and its always a pleasure to go to the pharmacy that is what true customer service is all about.

Photofinishing ripoff
Walgreens Consumer Complaint
We submitted our photo film for developing. We paid the total, got home, and only one of the photos was able to be viewed. We called and was told we would receive a full refund. When we got to the store, they would only refund us one half of our total, plus the assistant manager treated us like crap. Don't take your film to Walgreens for developing. This was a total ripoff. Walgreens obviously does not stand by their service for photofinishing. We received NO product and WE had to still pay THEM money. Is this how this company stays in business?

A few months back I went to Walgreens in Oakland TN to purchase 1 item. The computer appeared to be having problems and I had to slide my card 4 times to complete my purchase. I was told by the manager that I was not charged but once.
I was charged 4 times and this caused an overdraft of my checking account.
The next day I went in to complain and that manager was rude, yelled at me, and threw the extra 3 charges refund at me. This did not address my bank overdraft and I complained to corporate.
I received an apology from the store manager but no refund against my overdraft nor a...

How could he from his CHAIR! Without an exam, he told me to buy some over the counter cold medicine.
