Yesterday, 11/28/18, I bought Liquid B-12 for my invalid mother. Brand: Finest Nutrition. I got it home and discovered that it had expired over 3 months ago! Is that a good business model to follow? Watch your expirations at Walgreens, folks.

Having been a customer of Walgreens in…
Having been a customer of Walgreens in New Port Richey, Florida for well over 3 and a half yrs since moving down, when my original Walgreens closed I had to move my prescriptions over to another one a few blocks away. I was concerned I would have a problem getting my pain meds filled thru this other store (since this is Florida, pill capital of the country), (many chronic diseases: mononueitis multiplex w/ vasculitiis, RA, etc) but was assured by my pharmacist there would be no problem since I have been filling them for past 3+ yrs, just a different location, I'm in the system "they said". Of COURSE there is a problem. I can see a pharmacy being careful. I can see them checking out pain scripts but what I cannot see is leaving patients to sit without their meds they've been on for well over 12 yrs, even after a doctor has contacted them assuring them that all is legitimate, still I sit since yesterday midday with no meds. It's just sickening to me, having had chronic diseases all these yrs, that a junkie could waltz in and get them with no problem, yet I am an established, long time customer with them, been on these same meds for many yrs and because THEY closed my regular Walgreens I must now go without until THEY decide, NOT my doctor, whether they will fill my prescription or not, leaving me sitting in unnecessary, non-stop neuropathy & RA pain, all for chitz and giggles apparently. Is it that they don't trust their very own Walgreens pharmacists at their neighboring stores to decipher if their long time customer is a druggie or not, that they must try to decide if they may just be, they aren't the patient's doctors, they do not have any right to be playing God with people's lives and health, it's not like I have chosen to be sick and live on these meds, would give ANYTHING to not have to go thru this bs just to survive and have a halfway decent life. It's wrong and not their job to decide if I am "worthy" of receiving my medications or not, that is my actual doctors' jobs, their only job is to fill my precriptions as were ordered. Soooo wishing my original area Walgreens store had not closed but sure pity any of their other customers who are having to go thru this bs as well. Seems pharmacists are getting a God complex down here, believing they are mightier than they truly are. Looking into a different pharmacy FOR SURE.

Disippointed
Disippointed I was denied my discount as a veteran. I was told it was not the right card. It is issued by the VA and states that I am disabled. I used this card on many times at the same store. Very rude I will not go back or recommend it.

Comprei um produto Vichy Idealia Yeux/ …
Comprei um produto Vichy Idealia Yeux/ Eyes (idealizei regard Eyes contou idealizer) na Walgreens da International Drive No dia 03 de outubro 2017. Ao chegar hoje no BRASIL verifiquei que o produto que peguei da prateleira estava vencido (vencimento em setembro 20q7) ou seja eu comprei em outubro. Fiquei decepcionada pois uma empresa do tamanho da walgreens deveria ter uma fiscalização maior.

Decent place to shop online
Decent place to shop online, but I prefer to shop in store. One can get good prices at the end of month when they change their inventory selection.

Won't price match to their own website
Online pricing is often lower than in-store pricing and stores are not supposed to price-match (however some do). In order to get the online price, you must do "ship to store" and wait 3 days to get it. Very odd marketing strategy: punish the store (lost sale) and punish the customer (3 day delay) to get a product that's sitting right on the store shelf for a few dollars less.

Broken Communication System
Walgreens
It is unfortunate that the service at Walgreens at 2201 N. Heritage St, Kinston, NC is not improving despite nine months of constantly sending out wrong phone messages to customers and showing a lack of courtesy to customers at the drive through. On February 11, 2016, I called to see if my prescription was filled that the doctor had faxed over and I was informed that it was ready. I picked up my high blood pressure medication only to learn it was the wrong medication IRBESARTAN/ 150-12.5MG) and the store had now closed. I had two more pills remaining, so I called the next day and I returned on February 13, 2016 to pick up my medication. I was given a generic brand (Valsartan/HCTZ 80MG/12.6MG) that I do not take and I informed the pharmacy assistant that it was not the correct medication and I had to return an hour later to get the correct high blood pressure medication (Diovan HCT 80MG/12.5MG). My prescription had to be renewed after my fourth-month checkup and the problem started again, with Walgreens pharmacy trying to give me the generic brand. Then I started getting calls that I had prescriptions waiting and when I followed up on the call, it was for another person. Twice, I was unable to get my prescription filled because the pharmacist assistant stated the drug store did not have the pills in stock. I was on automatic refills and was taken off in June for some reason. I was informed in September 2016 that my prescription was not filled because they thought it was a mistake because it cost $64.00. On November 21, 2016, I received a robo-call from Walgreens informing me that my prescription was ready to be picked up. Today, November 22, 2016, I went through the drive through at approximate 8:20 pm to pick up my prescription and the pharmacy assistant asked for my name and date of birth and then informed me that no prescription was ready for me. She stated there was nothing for me, come back in 30-45 minutes and she rudely turned around and walked away. My husband blew the horn and no one would come to the window. After sitting at the window for about 5 minutes the pharmacy assistant went over to the pharmacist and they started laughing. When the assistant left, the pharmacist got on the phone and asked if she could help us that we come inside. My husband asked the pharmacist to give me one pill for tonight and we will come back tomorrow. The pharmacist then called someone and a manager came out some minutes later and she said it was not the Walgreens policy to have other customers behind us waiting. We had actually waited 15 minutes to get to the window because of a customer ahead of us. I asked my husband to please drive around. I have had enough of the mistakes, rudeness, and refusal to correct and update information in the Walgreens system regarding receiving other people phone calls. I trust that this will be followed up by Walgreens Headquarters because giving wrong medication is a serious matter, not having medication on hand, and the rudeness is totally unwelcomed.
