DO NOT go here for prescription filling. Ive lived in EB almost my whole life. And the odds of there not being a problem whenever i use their pharmacy has always been slim. I dont know who manages the workers, or the system but whther its pharma or an issue with the insurance databases; there has been a problem every single time. But today was the last i could take it. especially when it was just simply a drop off. Took her 10 minutes just to tell me they didnt have my meds in stock even though ive been getting them there... Even the pharmacy manager said infront of me "do we have those meds in stock?" and she said yes. then proceeded to say "but its at a different walgreens. Now im not sure how she processes simple questions but the correct answer to that question is no. you do not... Even the poor elderly gentlemen infront of me was having issues and its laughable because everytime i go right before its my turn to holler and be dumbstruck, theres always someone infront of me dealing with the exact same issue. So please if someone of actual importance reads these reviews, fix your system, hire intelligent, capable people to run a pharmacy because if you guys havent heard people getting their medication is kind of important. Every time is a mess. Whether its your people have to be told everytime that "no maam i was just here a week ago and you have my insurance on file and no it is not expired" Or simply not knowing how to work pharmaceutical. I used to get my medication from ACME pharmacies when i was working there and i never had an issue unless it was from my end. which occurred maybe once a year.. not every single month when i get my medication...

Went to Walgreens today to pick up a prescription and the wait time was horrendous. There were approx 6 employees behind the counter and a line of about 5 customers. We waited while the one tech actually took the time from helping customers to place filled prescriptions in the waiting for pick up baskets. She barely made eye contact and seems irritated to be there. I know better than to go at 6 or so in the evening but this was 11:00 in the morning. A SMILE AND A SORRY FOR YOUR WAIT, would go a long way. Clearly there is a lack of regard for customers in this store. Signage for sales is very poor. Items listed in the circular are not posted on shelves. If sales start on Sunday, why is it that on Monday morning there is no stock available on sales items? When asking a store employee that question all you get is a shrug and a dumb look. I prefer CVS for sales. Better management and a friendlier attitude.

Something has changed and this pharmacy has become much nicer than it was. There is usually a long line, which is the only negative aspect of this business, but thats not something the staff can do anything about. In fact, they are efficient in managing the high volume of traffic and get you going as quickly as possible. Most of the time, the longer lines are a result of customers trying to avoid the wait and distracting the pharmacists with questions from obviously disused windows at the counter (like the "drop off" section, which no pharmacy has used since 1988 when the population in this area was quite a bit smaller), so the 4 stars instead of 5 has to do with the clientele, not the employees or the Walgreens company. I dont think there is a pharmacy in this area where there is no wait.

The one star is only for being open 24 hours. I find the store aspect is fine and conveniently located. As far as the pharmacy...always a problem, always a poor attitude. Sometimes I feel they go out of their way to be difficult..".pharm muscles". There is no sense of urgency when you need something quickly, they loss prescriptions, they are often careless, they reply on interns and students for staffing. They just dont get the whole "customer satisfaction concept". It is a shame that they they cant improve and take their job with a more responsible approach.

The store its self is lovely. Never had any problems and all the workers are nice. These past few months the pharmacy hasnt been filling my prescription on time and in fact likely wouldnt at all unless we called them even though its suppose to be filled. This has been going on for about 5 refills now and one time going there they even said that my prescription was never in the system to be filled out even though Ive gotten it in the same place for months already. Not sure if they have a new person working it but whatever happened Im really disappointed.

The worst. The people who answer the phone in the pharmacy have no knowledge to answer questions and put you on hold indefinitely, the pharmacy staff files the insurance incorrectly, they are unapologetic about their constant errors, and act as if you are expecting too much when you demand that your script be filled correctly. DONT BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE.

Pathetic pharmacy service. They go out of their way to make things difficult and no one knows what theyre doing. Every time I fill something i end up having to pay the full amount because they tell me my insurance doesnt cover it, only to call my insurance and find out that do, and that Ive been ripped off.

Its a Walgreens, the top of the pharmacy chain heap. If CVS is the Wal-Mart, and Rite Aid the K-Mart, Wallys is the Target of pharmacies. This location is usually bright and clean, with only one drawback - maybe its me, but I always seem to get stuck behind a Crazy Coupon Lady at the register!

worst pharmacist ever (the women) unfriendly, impudent always acting like you owe her something like she is the boss but meanwhile uneducated angry and unpleasant person.

Horrible place always making mistakes and slow to respond. With the kind of manpower they have they should be really fast instead they are the slowest.

Pharmacist Samir N was so patcient and helpful tonight even during the massive amount of people who showed up before the storm

I was waiting at checkout for a cashier to appear... 10 mins later she came and had the nastiest attitude. STAY AWAY!

Pharmacy used to provide excellent service. Now they seem to be understaffed and theyre always extremely slow.

Pharmacist was gracious and able to help me tape a finger splint I purchased. Appreciated the assistance.
