Walgreens

These stores are not wanting to fill prescriptions if there is paperwork involved! Not all of us that take pain meds are drug seekers. I’m so tired of being labeled as I am less then, due to needing to be on pain meds. There are circumstance’s that may cause a day of being without meds. One of the pharmacist stated to me that they are making people be more responsible with their medication.
My doctor (pain specialist) knows why I was short and she dated the prescription for the day I went to fill them. The pharmacist had no problem giving me my pain patches, but was holding back on giving me my other pain med. When I question them, first pharmacist said that my insurance said it was to early to fill. Called my insurance, they said have Walgreens Pharm run it again. When I told them this the other Pharmacist told me, it wasn’t the issue with insurance its about accountability! OMG! I wish all that have this thought of us on pain medication, would have to be on it long enough to get the full effect of what we go through.
I looked on Unilocal and found this old Rexall Drug store, Ma & Pa store with a post office. I would drive 50 miles to this family owned pharmacy before Id go to another Walgreens for my meds. Rankos Pharmacy in Tacoma is worth your drive if your tired of being treated less then by Walgreens or any other big chain store. The Walgreens off the Black Lake exit Olympia, has the same stinky attitude.

Not one of the better Walgrens thats for sure, it seems like your alone here with no help from anyone.

I love the store the pharmacy was very disrespectful and I complained to corporate but nada… The store employees are great except the Indian woman in the back that threw a tantrum because some one didnt read the directions my md had and I asked her how she was going to take the pills out? Im very germafobic they do not where masks and my meds should have only been handled one time! I usually swear off the store for good, but thats the only bad seed of the bunch
