At the end of the night, you see Amanda doing all her stuff AND the cooler. 18. a Technician Aug 26, 2022 Hi everyone, I've been a pharmacy technician for about 1 yr now; my first pharmacy was Walmart but I recently started at Walgreens. In the past Walgreen's has: given the prescription for someone else, handed me paperwork for another customer, given me the wrong dosage by two and insisted all I had to do was cut it in half and could not understand that half of 50mg does not equal half of 15mg. But thats not always the case. Walgreens is clearly a pimp. They are definitely bad news, very unethical. People's lives are in jeopardy. This sounds stupid because it is. I ask Pharmacist to provide in writing either the Law or procedure where would state that he can refuse to fill out prescription unless additional contact with doctor will be establish. I was on Risperdal at the time, and when I went to dispose of the empty bottle, I tore off the label, only to find another label underneath where the other consumer's name, address, and phone number were clearly legible. Walgreens is firing at the Bottom to cut cost when they should be firing at the Top! You never get your prescription on time, we wait for over 45min, at one stage we even went to sleep in the car because we had enough of waiting in the store. 12. I'd be finding me a new job pronto. do you have any idea what that did to my confidence? The pharmacist at Walgreens 45549 HWY 27, Davenport FL 33897 is a very unprofessional and rude person. Walgreens employee allegedly posed as a pharmacist for nearly 11 years, prescribing over 745,00 prescriptions. I know the process of filling a prescription can be an immense task when you are short on staff or when the pharmacist is extremeley slow. It is so frustrating that people I should be able to trust cannot get their heads sorted. There is a line, however. I will never spend a dime in that store. I had to use the Walmart pharmacy for years when I went to school, and just no. Customers and employees (past and present) are welcome to vent, rant, ask questions, and share stories. Don't sign anything. I hate those trays. Go to a private pharmacy or Rite Aid. They put my medication under my husbands name and he thought it was a new prescription and nearly started taking it. My daughter uses the Flonase too, it works great for her. People that fire their employee that is pregnant and just miscarriaged? It is supposed to be a two sided evaluation with the employee completing a form on their own service and the manager doing it as well but, of course, the store manager claimed an asst manager, Victoria, told us to complete the form before the deadline and she never did so the only performance evaluation that was completed was the manager's version of your performance alone. It seems so much organized. They shouldn't have to talk to management, they should have been told about their breaks when they started. The co-workers vary but, out of all the management, a few or several will have bad attitudes. They may ask how you are, pause and then either give you a long list or ask how the list is going. The employee evaluation is completed on a form online but you dont discuss your performance unless you ask to do so. I hate that some will not stay closed. It's unacceptable to make anyone go without their medication. Recall that on the phone many conversations are recorded. I had tried the mail once before and received an incorrect RX. I go to pick it up. from CVS 12. They have even called my insurance company when they tried to limit my dose. But their TV ads say they care about its customers. Then I still didnt get my break until I called the district manager. This happens every month. I asked to speak with the manager and the manager never showed up. Just dont take the break." I was glad he told me. I went to college and realized relatively quickly Walgreens wasnt going to be my career so I insisted on the break. Please clean house from the top down. Use GoodRx to look up prices and discount coupons at Walgreens Pharmacy and save up to 80% on your prescriptions. I was told it was not required by two assistant managers and one store manager. Which is made perfectly *obvious* by your even bothering to respond to this thread. I just don't happen to go to one. 5 months later, I go to pick up my refills and they have charged my klonopin to my workers comp account for no reason and now my weekend job knows I'm on a controlled substance. helpful. Just now, I had Tommy tell me what I told the doctor. Then I'm done for good. I was recently exposed to covid and had to take the mandatory 5 days quarantine until I got the results for my covid test as negative and my then broke my tooth off because it's old and messed up. Pharmacy's fault. So, basically, no reason for me to sell it because she gets the credit for it and I don't even get my whole nickel. Our regular pharmacy doesnt carry Fentanyl. Good show CEO ur running Walgreens right into the Ground! True, it's not the pharmacy's responsibility to provide multiple emergency supplies, but IMHO, any pharmacist or tech worth their salt should treat ppl respectfully and give an explanation that makes sense to their client/customer. There is no positive reinforcement. Well, a friend gave me four new bottles since he had too much. Oh, and the manager is a jerk. Please try to be thankful for this convience. Refill your prescriptions, shop health and beauty products, print photos and more at Walgreens. We called them in morning asking about booster update, they said they had phizer, I asked if we needed an appointment, she said no just get here before 4pm. Ive had a manager tell me that I was hurting their profits by using coupons to get products for almost nothing. Yes, when I filled them, I sat and watched a movie. Dont give 2 weeks, The gas station and fast food joints down the block are offering higher pay than this shitshow. If you are in the number one photo store in the district, most managers let you just take care of photo but you always have the crazy ones who still expect you to wait on photo customers every five minutes, take care of their photo orders AND stock the cooler AND stock the shelves AND whatever list that is neverending. I have to wait till the next day and I usually can't get a break from work. I saved a whopping 10 bucks a month off my prescription by going there AND every time I have gone, I have either had no wait or waited five minutes at most.

Walgreens wastes an untold amount of money in man hours and in paper posting up three signs saying the same thing. Well another post saying how horrible their pharmacy is ran. It takes them half an hour to put 30 tablets in the bottle? Pharmacists are just licensed drug dealers that get off on their own power because they went to school for 1 billion years just to count tablets. Same story. slugmama,Fluticasone is exactly what I am using presently. The pharmacist is restricted by state laws. Access your free Rx discount card online and use it at Walgreens Pharmacy locations nationwide. No thanks.I'll just come back in a couple of hours.For many years I used the Target pharmacy at my small local Target. Every time I walked in the office, he was eating and/or talking on the phone to his friends or girlfriend on speaker phone. I am so so so so so so so sick of this company using and abusing us. Flonase. I live in Seaside California, and Walgren over here is a disaster. #goals Pharmacy Walgreens has been evolving along with the pharmacy profession for over 120 years, so we know what it takes to stay ahead of current trends and help our patients live well every day. This will surely increase the credibility of your complaint. Either fucking walk out or let them fire you and collect that unemployment. I'm almost certain they should have been $5.55 PER POUND for the markdown, but each package was marked $5.55. Not by any means saying that you are. Walgreens pharmacy is the laziest, rudist most non professional employees I ever had to deal with. 13. I asked about this and was loudly and rudely informed that the med was out of stock, and I should go pick up something else over-the-counter. Got prescrips and other goods at Rite Aid for 15 years. It will help lower your stress about dealing with the nurse and dodging appointments and getting refills on time.

Plus, I think techs do a lot of the work. My grandmother called and told them if I had a seizure or anything happened to me, she'd sue their asses so bad their heads would spin. Sorry you had such problems.I know several who use that and they all get it OTC.Glad you are feeling a bit better. God Bless. I don't do ANY business at Walgreen's anymore; they pissed me off a number of years ago, and I filed a complaint with the pharmacy board in the state in which that Walgreen's was located. After just having Covid my lungs are in not good shape. The pharm never seemed to understand that there was anything wrong with their violating the man's privacy. Before I moved, I was getting it filled at a different Hy-vee and my pharmacist there filled one mixed and gave me three powders to mix myself. I learned photo through the books, internet and help line. isn't that strange? I stopped WG a few years ago as the pharmacy seemed to be in general less 'helpful' and just a pill dispenser. that's very incompetent. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. They must have minium wage pharmacist as none of them ever stays! He just prescribed it anyway. What do people do who are ill and maybe going downhill when they get meds? Because of Covid I am not picking up all of my parents' medications. Walgreen was understaffed, but also once they hired people, they didn't do anything to make them want to stay. But some pharmacist don't care that much about controlled substances, that is probably who filled your script with-out verifing it. they screw them all up!!!!!!! The previous store manager gave her an award to show her recognition for doing such a great job. Instead of losing out on having two people work photo for 1-2 weeks, they lose thousands more when the new person breaks something, has photo business non-existent for 2-3 days and the cost of having a technician come out PLUS the new parts. Its not a laughing matter Joe and is your tech apable of beig behind the counter with the negligence she bestowedYour lucky I didnt wind up in the hospital..get your act together before you kill someone! The tech looked right through the window at me and walked away. Walgreens covered it all up. Just adding that I agree Walgreens bites the big one, I prefer small privately owned pharmacies myself but I have to use RiteAid for the most partthe people at walgreens are very rude and judgmental to say teh least, it think it is a qualifications. No materials from this website may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in any way. So keep up with regular appointments. I asked what I was charged with and I literally was charged with the manager saying I said something nobody else heard. I volunteered to pick up her RX. And, with meds for kids, that is unconscionable. I have so many bad stories to share. She had moved 45 minutes away and was working two jobs. There's already a sign up saying the sale price but you have to put another sticker UNDERNEATH the sign that's already up because there's no room to put it. You folks would do well to open your eyes and see that you have competition in the market. At the end of the day, Pharmacy isn't a chemistry degree - it has other components like biology and biochemistry. I asked for my refill of a albuterol for a neubilizer. I learned this after two years of working there. I will reiterate the fact I cannot take it. Consultants working on a corporate report were told to drop safety complaints. I handed it to the tech, and she said that it would be done within the next 30 min. Their was also a HIPPA violation today. Walgreens is corporate sleeze 100%. Tommy offered to let me use his Flonase. Even though they pay me 8 bucks an hour, it's wrong for me to hurt company profits by getting an iced tea for a quarter. They just want to cover their own asses if they fire you and stop you from collecting unemployment. They swatted me for telling them "never mind, you are lying to me, just give me my script card and I will go elswhere and this will be reported" and stole the tape to cover for it. How heartless is that? This is why Americans ask what the price of something is when IT'S RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM. They want their customers to be happy, so they know they need to keep lots of employees. I totally agree that customers should once in their lifetime experience retail life to get a clear prospective on how stressful it really is. They always notify me by email when my Rx's are in and follow up with a phone call if I forget to pick them up. Personally my store is great and all my coworkers I enjoy working with. Yes Walgreens always sucks! The amount was returned to my card. I would not care if it would not be for the fact that very few pharmacies are allowed to carry my meds (DEA regulations) and my prescriptions can not be filled partially. Totally unprofessional and uncalled for!!! This particular one feels dirty, and the cashiers don't seem to have ten IQ points (or teeth) among them all. That pharmacist was bound by law and could have lost their license over handing out unprescribed drugs. This RX had been called in by the hospital prior to her discharge. There were other people waiting, so I paid and we drove off. Ever! Because they will most definitely get tired of seeing you. It's as if the old Soviet Union came back and 're-organized' operations to ensure everyone's [censored]ed - including the hard-working. CVS and Walgreens employees hate when you leave your receipts all around the store because you think other people can use them: I was a customer before I decided to work for the company and all I can say is it's the worst decision I've made in the entirety of my existence on this earth. Its 11 PM and Ive already sat in your store for almost an hour and you tell me I have to wait another, due to your irresponsibility? If they feel that the script needs to be verified then they have the right to do that. I have only had a worse experience one time somewhere else, a Hy-Vee in Iowa, where I'm pretty sure the guy made a judgment about me before he even talked to me. You haven't been in the med clinic in quite some time. I have to check with my doctor before I can use any otc or prescription, so it is hard to treat myself without guidance. . Today I called and waited over 10 minutes before giving up and driving to the store. Only the pharmacy man told the truth. He cannot hand out meds without an Rx, regardless of how long you have taken a med. I reached out the corporate offices. I think it is because they are so overwhelmed with work, and probably are short-handed as well. CVS has their share of problems, but Walgreens is just unbearable . Much cheaper. and he was never available by phone. Because they involved the police they made me plead to a nothing to cover for the corporation and police. I use them for all my PRN meds.
