05/31/24 - This Walgreens sucks. My wife works in a hospital w/a pharmacy. Her coworkers told her…read moreWalgreens didn't charge as much for the meds in an effort to save a few bucks we changed to this location @ 5230 W Foster since it's right down the street from where we live. With the exception of the Vietnamese pharmacist this is the absolute worst Walgreens I have ever been to. I placed my order on the Live Well AP for 2 meds on 05/20/24. I went in to pick up my order after being told they were ready. So I went in and what a surprise they weren't there. When I arrived they told me they had to special order my one med so why did they tell me it was ready. The other med I paid $40 for 90 doses @ the hospital pharmacy. Walgreens wanted $324 for 30 doses. I DONT THINK SO. NO EFFIN WAY JOSE. This one blonde pharmacy assistant was getting very snotty & bitchy. NEVER AGAIN. I'm so done and out of this Walgreens. I called my doctor a few days ago to get me scripts sent back to the other pharmacy. The nurse told me they had lots of problems with/this pharmacy too. It took me 11 days to get a med that ran out on 05/20/24. Theres absolutely no excuse for this

When I arrived at or after said time, told not ready for variety of reasons (Dr. did not respond, something wrong with prescription (not true) and today excuse was ' we are on break so cannot prepare it now, wait 30 minutes' this while I was there 10 hours after announced ready time...after working 11 hours today, I went home. Service has gone completely downhill at this pharmacy ever since Pharmacist Patel left. I am considering trying another pharmacy especially if I have continuing difficulty getting prescriptions in a timely manner.

My doctor sent in a new 3-month Rx in late Dec. 2025. Walgreens would have it ready in early Jan. Cost was $0. The Rx was cancelled/sent back last week. Now Walgreens will fill it again -- at a cost of $500+. I asked Walgreens to reverse their previous transaction instead of filling as a 2026 Rx (it was already listed in my 2025 insurance records online). Jesenia was sarcastic at anything I tried to explain. I am done being a Walgreens customer.

For pharmacy only: I have NOT signed up for auto refill. Yet…read morethey still refill. I have called and they check. Yes, I am not signed up for auto refill. This time I get a notice that they are auto refilling my prescription. They are refilling it for 21 pills rather than 90 as usual. Once again I call to find out what is going on. I am told that I am on "Save a trip" plan. That way all of your prescriptions align so you only have to come in once rather than a number of times for all of them. I explained that I did not sign up for save a trip plan and I did not want the save a trip plan. So to "save a trip" I have to come in 5 times for that one prescription. Why would Walgreens make it that inconvenient for the customer. I understand that some of this may be corporate. Problem is Walgreens makes it so tough to contact them for complaints. They have contact me somewhere on Walgreens website. When it is finally found it loops you all over never getting done what you need to. Shame on you Walgreens. Charles R. Walgreens would be shamed by your lack of concern for customers.

This is purely for the pharmacy and how they rocked my family's COVID vaccines…read more Long story short, my parents were able to book vaccine appointments (separate, of course) at the United Center, only to receive emails days later changing them to completely shit times. So, I decided to do the whole 6 AM online Walgreens stalking for appointments. I was able to rock two appointments for my parents, one right after the other, and was able to do the same for their second appointments. They walked in, presented their already filled out paperwork, and were in and out before their scheduled appointments. There were no crazy lines and no overbooked appointments. They raved about the politeness of the staff, how the pharmacy ran like a well-oiled machine, and the painless shots. Following their rave reviews I also booked my vaccine appointments here, and everything they said was true. Staff were even super appreciative that I previously filled out my paperwork (which you need to do, people - they are rocking all these vaccine appointments on top of their already busy schedules!). They've also kept us updated on booster info as it comes out. If you're looking for a seamless, smooth vaccine experience, go here!

They are kind and equally attentive to the laws and regulations which guide and restrict what they can and cannot do as well as the well being of the patient. I had an experience just before a holiday when all the doctors offices were closed and one of my Rx's was restricted by the wording on the prescription order which made the order a bit confusing. They went the extra mile, paged my doctor, got him on speaker and had him clarify a perceived restrictive order meant to be augmentative. No pharmacy has gone the extra mile regularly, placing the patient first while working within their restrictions. They are simply the best, kindest most caring group of pharmacists I have ever encountered and I hope they stay in business for the duration of my pharmaceutical needs.

I suppose younger people will not remember when it was standard practice for people to be treated with care and decency in their day-to-day human interactions.

On Monday at 9:05 am, I was trying to pick my medication that was prescribed two nights before. A young lady verified my date of birth,name,address the she said "you medication is not the system yet ",then I was looking at her lying face the n I said" here is my hospital paperwork and the confirmed that this is an urgent medication ,it is already sent and sat in the pharmacy portal. After that she said here "here it is, but you can come back at 10am simply because the pharmacist will be here at 10 am" I said, the pharmacy schedule is 9am not, why you can't you open at 10 am then? You can your pharmacist to do it on the phone or WhatsApp because I already exist in your system." Then the young were on the phone with someone: pharmacist or someone else then responded "pharmacist can do it unless he is on the premises or we can deliver it you "my response was ok then I asked here "what is the window of the delivery" she answered "after 5pm" I was thinking may be noon. The story is not about lying, it is about convenience, the pharmacist makes things very convenient for him or her, but never cares about someone who is flying next couple hours, like my case my daughter wants to car to drive five miles to feed her advisor's cat because she is on spring break and after, my daughter will drive 20 miles to Addison, Illinois for practice. This is the second time, it happened to me, the first I was waiting for hour and half till ten thirty ,no apology no nothing. I had to wait because, that my wife's medication, I did not want come empty handed. I will never give them my money again. This Maxcare is a trash.

The employee initially asked if we were doing two transactions, which I had no issue with and understood. However, after I completed the first transaction, she questioned whether I had paid for my orange juice, even though it had already been included in my purchase. She then asked to see my receipt and snatched it out of my hand, which felt very disrespectful. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that she was only paying close attention to us the entire time. There were several other WHITE customers using self-checkout at the same time, and she did not ask to see any of their receipts or question whether they had paid for their items. My sister and I are both young-looking and have a brown appearance, and the clear difference in how we were treated compared to other customers made us feel racially profiled and singled out because of our age and appearance. I understand employees have a job to do and may need to verify purchases, but that should be done fairly and respectfully with all customers. This experience made us feel unwelcome, and I hope management takes this seriously and ensures customers are treated equally going forward.
