Walgreens

Aw, man. I saw the one star rating and all of the reviews and told myself, «Oh, those are all for the pharmacy, but I’m just going to the store! I’ll have a WAY better experience!» Guess again!
We walked in around 8:30 p.m. on a Saturday as two children were running out and almost barreled straight into us. A sign of things to come.
There was a big group of 5 or 6 kids/​pre-​teens/​teens/​whatever they were being super loud and obnoxious. I don’t know if they were there with an adult or by themselves, but it was annoying. You could hear them throughout the store no matter where you were.
As we were checking out, the guy running the only open register was having a long and drawn out conversation, possibly with relatives? He said something about having a tiger scratch on his arm, and then proceeded to throw his keys behind his back to someone. No idea what was going on, but I really just wanted to check out.
Another guy eventually came and opened a register and he was nice enough, but he was talking to the first guy the whole time he checked us out, so it was still slower than it had to be. Whatever, at least we got out of there sooner than we would have if we had just waited for guy #1.
Not the best Walgreens experience. Hopefully we won’t have to come back any time soon!

Went to this Walgreens for their walk-​in clinic after making an appointment at Jewell & Kipling Walgreens, when I got there they were closed. This was is closed all day due to the nurse practitioner having a family emergency. Since this clinic is open 6 days a week, does that mean they only have one employee that works literally every day from open to close?
Then when I inquired about the nearest next clinic, the pharmacist had no idea where one was. Really? Plus she was HATEFUL about it.
Never again will I go to Walgreens. For anything. Stunningly bad service.
Plus when I was leaving-​in tears-​4 Walgreens employees were standing at the front register talking about what they did the night before. Classy.

Like all these reviews, I will 100% agree with the disappointing staff at the pharmacy. The girl who helped me was decently nice but she seemed like she didnt know what she was doing. What should have been a 5minute transaction at max, just picking up some medications turned into 25 minute ordeal and I wasn’t «waiting» on anyone infront of me. The other people behind the counter were throwing bags of medication in to a bin 15feet away from them, not caring and talking about personal things. This staff needs a wake up call as it’s unprofessional atmosphere is driving business away.

Unprofessional and belittling pharmacist, (the techs are innocent imo). She picks and chooses when she’ll refill your meds. I take generic Imitrex for severe migraines. Moved pharmacies because she thought it was too soon to fill even though my insurance covered it. Imitrex is not a controlled substance. Migraines are serious. Even if she had erred and thought it was a violation to fill it, it’s unprofessional to give your own opinion on the medicine people take. Reading these other reviews makes me worry for the safety of the people who still get the I medications filled there. I’ve never received the wrong medication but on multiple occasions I have been alerted that my medication was «ready for pick-​up» only to stand in line for 35 minutes and then be snidely and loudly told, «we can’t fill that until tomorrow» or «you’re at the wrong Walgreens» or «no you didn’t get a notification» Oh wow. Yeah. Right? I just like to come in and waste everyone’s time by pretending Walgreens automated system called me and said my Rx was ready to be picked up at that very location.
Someone missed out on ethics 101, HIPPA knowledge, and common decency.

The worst. Absolutely the rudest middle-​aged female pharmacist (she has brown-​rimmed eyeglasses btw, in case you ever run across her).
In June 2014 I went to refill my (lowest dose there is) of a certain «controlled» medication. I had been out of the med for just over a week and I had to go to Dr’s office to get hand-​written Rx, which I was late in doing.
After waiting at this Walgreens for my allotted «20 min» this loud, nasty female (and yes, she’s a Pharmacist, not a Tech) said, so anyone near could hear all of this (can you say HIPPA VIOLATION??) «you cannot get your _​_​_​_​_​medication yet! You can’t have it for TWO MORE WEEKS. You have taken 120 pills in 42 days.»
??? Was I going mad? Was I an out-​of-​control addict? Well, I MUST be… I mean, she clearly just TOLD ALL OF US that that’s basically what I was. Out of control. Abuser of meds. I was stunned, thinking oh wow… there’s not a chance I was taking that much. I take one pill in a.m.; 1 in p.m. and often times skip the weekend, or just take ½ dose on weekends.
She grabbed a piece of paper (after I had asked her to confirm my 1^st name and DOB, thinking she had me confused with someone else) and this female pharmacist announced to all of us who were waiting for our prescriptions EXACTLY «how much» of this med I MUST HAVE TAKEN (i.e. «abused»).
I was embarrassed. I quietly left the pharmacy and was thinking I must be losing my mind. I drove to Walmart near Ken Caryl Valley. I asked what the database showed as my most recent refill of this Rx. The Pharmacist told me EXACTLY what I had remembered. She said «absolutely we can refill this today. Actually, you’re just over 1 week late in refilling.»
I rest my case. This middle-​aged female pharmacist at Walgreens is beyond rude, and seemingly she’s incredibly assumptive, with no valid info. She’s really kind of creepy.
I’m quite sure she needs to take a re-​certification course in HIPPA. She violated all sorts of my personal information, loud and clear, to everyone in and near that pharmacy. And she was completely, 100% off base. She was wrong. And very arrogantly, aggressively wrong.

This pharmacy is run by idiots. I’ve never been so jacked around as I am when I go here. These people don’t know what they are doing. Stay away!!! Plus they are 3 times more expensive than costco pharmacy. I’m done. I’ve had enough. I’ll drive a little further to costco.

Went to the take care clinic today and had the worst experience ever!!! The «nurse» was rude and disrespectful and was very judgmental. She was giving me information that was incorrect and was trying to sell me products like the nasal pot, which had nothing to do with my condition. She was so terrible i switched all my prescriptions to king soopers because I never want to be treated like that again or see her. If you need to go to a clinic go to king soopers or wait at Denver health for three hours I would rather get a colonoscopy than ever have to deal with that «nurse» again.

I’ve been going to this store from time to time. Close to my house. Everything else seems to be OK, but the passport photos service had been horrible. The guy uses a cheap point & shoot camera to take the picture, great! And they charge $ 10.99 for 2 passport photos.
But the thing that made me so mad is they charge the same amount for reprint. Given they charge something like 19 cent or a little more, or whatever under $ 1 for the reprint of anything else, but passport photos have to be $ 10.99. What crazy policy is it? Photos are photos. I’m pretty sure they just make up that «policy» to rip me off. Never been so pissed. I ended up having to pay $ 34 for the photos that I need. I should have taken the photo myself and used my printer at home. The quality might have been better that way too.
Later, I found out about an online service that allows you to upload your headshots and sends you back the ready-​to-​print format. All I needed was a regular color printer and photo paper (bought at Office Depot for something very cheap I don’t even remember). My wife and I printed out a total of over 20 photos that we needed for our immigration application. Very happy with the results.

This review is based just on the pharmacy, the rest of the store seems ok. However, I have had so many bad experiences here with the pharmacy that are just ridiculous. I’ve been emailed to say that my prescriptions were ready and when I pulled into the drive thru more than 18hrs after that email they were in fact not ready. Then, I was then told that I needed to come inside the store to get them as I couldn’t wait in the drive thru. Being very sick, barely able to drive to the Walgreens and in my PJs this was not an option. When I was able to get a friend to pick them up the next day, they were told that they were sent back because of insurance purposes based on the date/​time they falsely emailed me and not when they were actually ready. Rachel, their pharmacist is full of nothing but excuses. Their staff will be 2 – 3 behind the counter and talking about lunch instead of serving their customers. Don’t ever go there if you’re really sick and just need to pick up your Rx and jet. I’ve learned that it is literally faster for me to go to the Belleview and Prince store even though it’s more than 5 miles farther from my house. 35min here including travel vs 24min Belleview location with no customer line at either place.

I have to say that this particular Walgreen’s has the absolute worst pharmacy I have ever been to. The only reason I still go there is I’m moving and I don’t know where to & I want to switch all of my Rx only once if I can help it. If you go there to fill a Rx make sure you have the right Rx… I’ve gotten my medication mixed up w/​another person’s twice & once I got the wrong type of medication all together. You definitely have to be a watch dog! I’m surprised that someone hasn’t gotten hurt! The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because this last time sucked a lot less… I’m hopeful they’re trying to turn it around!
