Walgreens

Just found out they screwed me for one of prescriptions. I have fill 100 percent medical /​pharmacy coverage. I found they charged me $ 42.99 for one my scripts that was supposed to be free.
No responses as to why and lots of attitide.
Update:
I reviewed Wallgreens online and found these:
it goes on and on and on…
Beware my fellow UnilocalERS !

My wife came in today looking for a new foundation. Suzann helped her. She went above and beyond to make sure she found exactly what she wanted. She even helped her color match, which a lot of drugstore makeup counters won’t do. She even helped her find a good remover to go with it and a base. We will be back to see her! Thank you for the great service!

Came here to get my husbands prescription. But ran into a bit of a problem with the insurance. The pharmacist was more than willing to help me at 12:00am! He spent a good 25 – 30 minutes helping me.

I went in to get some glucosamine for joint pain. I noticed every brand was on sale EXCEPT my brand. So grudgingly, i went to get a package — it was the last one– and it had been opened. the last time i was in the store i rejected the opened package and bought an unopened one– and here months later– was the same opened package which i had previously rejected. now i asked at the prescription counter if they could please check and see if there were more in stock, as i was not comfortable buying a package that had been opened and possibly TAMPERED with. they send for a stock girl, and she shows up wearing an elf hat (it was near xmas). she putters around in the back for 5 minutes, and finally brings out the same opened package that i had rejected! i can only assume her supervisor told her not to restock until i had bought the opened package and left the store. i told her i cannot be sure this had not been tampered with and asked her for directions to the nearest walgreen’s. again, she puttered around in back for 5 minutes and directed me to another walgreen’s that was NOT anywhere near where we were. when i went to the next nearest one, not the one she directed me to, i found that the exact same product was $ 4 cheaper just 2 miles away at a different walgreen’s! what is wrong with a store that thinks it is Ok to sell medication that has been tampered with???

An old water gypsy once floated thru the makeup department, I asked him if they sold superglue so I could fix my Photon torpedo (trouble with the ‘Corillian Martians’, anyway as I was waiting in the checkout counter the oversized android cashier shot a poison dart at an old lady and then ate her skin for magical powers… I quickly assembled my Photon torpedo and disintegrated him… damn reptilians and their arrogance, but check out the prices on candy bars!

The ladies went in the back to find my delish BBQ pizza. Thank you very much for making my Halloween night!

While the location is convenient, the customer service is absolutely horrible. I come here once a month to fill my much needed prescriptions. About every other month they are only able to do a partial fill. How? Why? I refill with the handy app on my phone. Always give them a 2 day window to fill. I just don’t understand? How is it so difficult to have a very popular pill in stock. Seriously every other month, partial fill. Who has time in a day to come back twice, the next day, so on? I’ll be converting my RX to CVS very soon.

I just love this store it has everything.
FYI the young free happy girl Jennifer, this week she has blondish hair sometimes it Magenta sometimes purple you just never know. she is always happy happy. she is short always happy .
Employee of the Month!
Everybody can take your pet in they do not
is also Tat a Tat everyone in there has Tats nice ones .but most of all is the way they all know me as Mrs. Russell .nobody ever calls me that unless I am at Walgreens they are always eager to help.
Feels like home.

Always a nice experience coming in here. The location is PRIME by my house… so if I forget anything last minute I can pop in here and head on home. I will say that they are way overpriced… but hey, what Walgreens isn’t for convenience?
The staff has always been very curteous and helpful… love this location!

Anyone else notice being just ten cents short on change consistently? They must be making a killing! WTH.

Adrienne was it? Late night pharmacist… picking up a prescription and feminine products. Didn’t even ask if I wanted a bag and packed up my stuff. AWESOME. LOVE HER.
Other times I been there some rude ass pharmacists. Im only going in the middle of the night! HA!

People are so damn friendly in Austin compared to where i live. I know the walgrens folks in my hood dont say hi when i walk in. Im not sure i want to talk to the folks in my local. Travel supplies for the hotel and sunscreen for being outside. The cashier also tried to convince me it was a good time to flu shot up! Never seen a total stranger concerned with my health like that. 3.5 stars

Pros– It’s clean and well lit as opposed to some CVS stores
Cons — They can be understaffed at times which can be annoying. This is one of the better Walgreens I’ve been too. So while it’s not the best one, it’s definitely not the worst one.

THE 24 HOUR PHARMACIST IS HORRIBLE
Julianna Liang, the after hours pharmacist is very slow, not helpful, doesn’t know how to use the computer systems and is incompetent. Poor customer service skills. After repeated poor experiences last year I finally changed pharmacies to CVS and had much better care. There are very few 24 hour pharmacies in Austin. The convenience of 24 hour is not worth it to me at this Walgreen’s though!
I hope they have hired someone better or trained her.

24 Hour Pharmacy!
A doctor wrote me a Rx for an on-​coming ear infection. I do not like to take medicine when I do not need to and tried to wait it out– hoping it was a passing thing. Around 2AM things took a turn for the worst, fast. I had to get my anti-​biotics as soon as possible. THANKFULLY Walgreens on South Lamar is not only open 24 hours, but also has a 24-​hour pharmacy! I was in and out within 10 minutes, medicine in hand.

I really like the customer service here. I have used this store many times and I have good reason. A wiser man then myself once said first impressions last well I’ll never forget the first time I used walgreens this is my
beautiful wife and I were making our way home from a funeral we attended of a neighbor of ours who was a former fireman. ill never forget how sad we felt that day until we dropped by Walgreens. upon entry we heard this sweet voice from behind the counter welcoming us“welcome to walgreens 78 704″ it was like music to our ears, he’s tone had an instant soothing effect kinda like that you would hear the first rooster roosting he’s cock a doddles in the morning or the sound of a melodious wind chime on the calmest day.
We finally got all our items and went to the gentleman on checkout who greeted us as we entered, he was so well spoken like a narrator out of a blockbuster Hollywood movie. he told us about the savings we made with the coupons and I remember he checked our eggs by opening the box and fingering every eggs too see was it worthy enough to leave the store. i never caught he’s name but I got a photo or 2 of him that I will add. on our way out after absolutely fantastic service he’s final farewell stuck in my head «be well». Bless that man.

I visited store #1933 on October 1, 2014 at about 3:00 pm. My main reason for the visit was to secure allergy relief medication. I also wanted to check the pricing on my favorite hair care products. They were indeed on sale and this Walgreens always has a great selection. I will admit that when I find my favorite hair care products I can be a little erratic in determining what products I want to purchase.
I caught the eye of one of the stock persons in the aisle by the hair care products, she never greeted me or asked if she could help. I had to go to her and ask pricing questions which she answered promptly. She was sure to keep a close eye on me as I loaded up my arms with products. Next, a woman in a black smock from the cosmetics counter walked up and greeted us and lingered around a bit appearing to also be keeping a close eye on us. Now, a gentlemen passing the stock person stared at me directly and walked about 15 feet in the back of the store and kept a close eye on me. At this point I felt as though I was being watched. My partner was with me on this visit so she and I were going back and forth about products available at Walgreens versus other retailers. After about 20 minutes or so I was done looking at hair care products and moved on to the allergy medication.
My partner and I spoke with the manager Lola who pointed us in the direction of the Walgreens brand allergy medicine. As we were looking down on the shelf comparing the amount of tablets per box, I could feel someone staring at us and it was the woman from cosmetics in the black smock. She peered down the aisle and when I looked up she hurried away. My final destination was the frozen section to pick up ice cream. Before I could get to the frozen section I heard «SECURITY WALK THE FLOOR, SECURITY WALK THE FLOOR» and I was one of maybe 6 customers in the store and at that moment I thought that I was being profiled for stealing. I went into the freezer and grabbed a few frozen items, picked up a stray shopping cart and went to the front cash register. It was here that I realized that I was indeed being profiled for stealing. As I loaded my items on the to counter, I put my purse in the cart so that I could locate my debit card and noticed that the cashier leaned over the cash wrap and looked right into my purse. I didn’t say anything initially but as we walked toward the door my partner became very upset by it and wanted to speak to management and return the purchased items.
I spoke with Lola and let her know my concerns. She apologized and advised that they don’t do that sort of thing at her store and we left with the items. Today I decided to return the items and probably never set foot in another Walgreens again. My mother is coming in from Chicago and I told her that we could have prescriptions set up at Walgreens but we’ll have to find another pharmacy because I refuse to ever be treated like that again.

Walgreens is so convenient. It’s close by and it saves me from going to the grocery store, the makeup store, the liquor store, and the pharmacy. Why? Because everything I need is at my local Walgreens.
Private parking lot, Redbox, wine, cigarettes, makeup, Vitamin C, frozen pizzas, and my monthly birth control… it’s a one-​stop shop and that’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it.

Pharmacy staff is amazing! I have witnessed so many of them be screamed and yelled at for problems outside of their control (like insurance problems), and this staff just takes it with a smile on their face while doing everything they can to make the customer happy again. They greet me by name every time I walk up, even if they’re busy, I never feel ignored! Plus, I can always ask for advice which saves me a trip to the doctor. When my prescription was too expensive, they told me about a coupon which saves me $ 15 a month now :)
The store is always clean which is such a relief from other retailers like this who tend to have boxes or empty shelfs everywhere. It can be annoying, but it’s nice to constantly hear ‘Welcome to Walgreens’ so I know that I’m not being ignored.
This store gets a big thumbs up from me! They’re always so busy, but always have time to help me :)

Welcome to the 78 704 Walgreens! Where the high prices and general shittiness you’ve come to expect from every Walgreens are taken to mind-​blowing new levels of ineptitude.
See the creepy Marty Feldman-​looking guy working the register? He always makes weird and inappropriate comments to my wife when she’s unfortunate enough to come when he’s working. What the hell?
See the disheveled old guy acting put out by the customer asking if they have a heating pad she saw at another store? «All Walgreens stores carry different items, ma’am, and we don’t carry that.» Then brusquely walking away. Thanks, asshole!
See the prices? Gas station selection and everything costs about 3 times what it should. What’s that about?
And over there we have the pharmacy. The real gem. The pride and joy of this hellhole. I’ve been to have prescriptions filled three times. The first two times they did the same thing. They called me to the counter, told me to «have a seat over there and we’ll call you up in a minute.» Both times I sat there for about 45 minutes before going back up to the counter and being told that no one had any record of my having been there, so no one had started on my order.
Today was the third and final time I tried to get a script filled there. Waited about an hour, then was told they wouldn’t be able to fill it. «Can you come back at 5 today?» Ok. Wish you could have told me that an hour ago, but whatever. Just to be safe, I came back at 6 and was told I couldn’t fill my prescription for another month. Their records show that it was filled earlier today. And they can’t give me «another» one. After telling them I never got my prescription filled, that I was told to come back at 5 for it, they said they would make some calls and try to figure it out. So after two trips and two hours I still don’t have my medicine.
See them promise to call me tomorrow so I can come for the third trip to get this fucking script? I won’t be holding my breath. I’m 100 percent sure they won’t call, that I’ll go up there, and something will be lost and I’ll be told to «come back later.» Fucking idiots.
Oh – and no one could tell me how much it’s going to cost, either. What a joke.
This place needs to be burned to the ground. The old Maria’s Taco Xpress was a much better use of this space.
Oh, and check out the parking lot. Every single parking space is marked «No Parking – Fire Lane.» Fucking weird, man.
