Racism on an elderly lady
I placed a pick up order online and sent my 70-year-old mother up there to pick it up because I am without a vehicle at the moment. She went through the drive-through and was told by a pharmacist that there was no order for my name in the back and that I, myself, would need to call to the front desk and have them at the front desk bring it to my mother out front of the store. I spoke with a very nice store manager who stated that that was wrong and that the pharmacist should’ve called to the front and had the front clerk bring my order to the back. I sent my mother through the drive-through to avoid her having to get out of her vehicle, yet instead she was still made to get out of her vehicle. I one hundred percent know it’s because she’s African-American. Yes I’m going to pull the race card because the pharmacist are trained and they know exactly how the pick up orders work and this was a very small order with only three small items; two travel size items and Noxzema pads. I had to explain to my mother that racism happened and can happen even when people are being nice to you, because she know her job so I went ahead and also filed a complaint with corporate as well. I’ve had a racial encounter a long time ago when this location was called Eckerds and I was given a full apology by corporate via letter And then when it turned to Walgreens I still saw the same old white lady that worked at Eckert. So I know racism is definitely in the store. Especially when you have some of the same people.and just to see my mother go through this was disgusting and that’s to say the least and that’s me keeping it professional. That pharmacist knows her job she knows her job if she does not know her job then she should not be back there even for something as simple as this. one day maybe one of her mistakes may cost someone their life. My mother 70 years old, she had no business getting out of a vehicle in 92° weather . Racism is a bliss no matter what the excuse is.
