I am a regular customer at Walgreens Pharmacy. I've been picking up my medicine for over 10 years…read more Recently, the last two years, it's been getting worse. Staff and slow workers, I understand. Today they have roughly four people working there, but they have a lack of returning after break or lunch. This has happened before, but I didn't think of anything of it and thought it was just another day. Today they will push the button when they come back after lunch 12 minutes late. And with a lot of people waiting for their medication. So I went ahead and reported them to customer service.

Having had it up to *here* with Walgreens for a variety of reasons, I finally did some looking…read morearound and found Five Star Pharmacy. Though I'm in Park Ridge, they're near enough that I decided I wanted to give them a try and I like that they're an independent pharmacy. When I gave them a call, I think it was the owner herself that answered (though don't quote me on that). She said that they could do all the transfer stuff to get my prescriptions from Walgreens, and she confirmed that they took my insurance before going too far into the transfer info so that we'd be on the same page. She said that they'd be able to fill my prescription within a few hours once my insurance confirmed it was time to refill, and that was great since there are times I've had to wait a day or more to get it from Walgreens even though I think it's a fairly standard prescription. Then the thing that really surprised me is when she asked if I wanted it to be delivered--and then when I asked the price she said it was free. Another thing Walgreens has done away with in the last year or two is free delivery, so another point in the Five Star Pharmacy. They sent me a link to make the payment, so it was super easy. It was somewhat more expensive than what I paid at Walgreens, but I also don't know if the price of the medicine had increased a bit in the last few months. At any rate it wasn't so much higher that I wouldn't pay it for the quality of service an dot support an independent, local business (and pharmacies are particularly hard to find in the independent variety anymore). Once I made the payment, my prescription came within the next day (it may actually have been a few hours but I just can't recall when I made the payment). I was very pleased with the help, quick response/delivery and follow through. They are testing out a new type of prescription bottle in an effort toward sustainability and that is fantastic. Minor annoyance that the inside has some of the plastic folded in and because of that it makes it nearly impossible for me to just tip out a pill onto my hand since it gets stuck, but obviously not something I'd stop using them over even if they decided to switch to these permanently instead of the standard prescription bottle. I highly recommend them and really suggest that it's worth your while if you want to support a small, independent, women-owned business.

This Walgreens ruined our Christmas. On December 19, I…read morepurchased two $100 Sephora gift cards from this store as Christmas gifts for my daughters. I gave them on Christmas Eve, trusting that a major retailer would not sell fraudulent products. A few days later, when one of my daughters tried to use her gift card, we were told at Sephora that the card was FAKE with a $0 balance. What should have been a happy holiday moment turned into confusion, disappointment, and stress for my children. Christmas gifts are supposed to be special -- instead, my daughters were left feeling embarrassed and heartbroken because Walgreens sold us counterfeit gift cards. When I contacted Walgreens customer service, I was treated with complete indifference. They were dismissive, uninterested, and clearly did not care that my family lost money due to a scam that happened inside their store. I was told it was "not their responsibility," and the claim was closed with no real investigation or concern. Sephora confirmed the cards were not legitimate -- real Sephora gift cards have 16 digits, while the ones sold to me had only 14 digits. That means Walgreens allowed fraudulent gift cards to be sold directly to customers. Because Walgreens refused to take responsibility, I was forced to file a police report. That should never be necessary for something purchased at a trusted pharmacy. DO NOT BUY GIFT CARDS HERE. Walgreens will not protect you if you get scammed. Their customer service does not care that they ruined a family's Christmas. This experience destroyed our trust in Walgreens and turned what should have been a joyful holiday into a stressful and upsetting situation.

Definitely noticed the high prices, but I knew I would be helping my mom out with paying for everything. Nothing worse than all of a sudden seeing the armed store security appearing by us and watching us with nothing going on. Really? This security officer was professional and spoke to us to evaluate the situation, and I understand he was doing his job - however, I used to also do this job at stores in areas of Chicago and did not appreciate the intrusion to our shopping experience. He was not the only one that was armed legally by the way. Anyway, the store should focus more on lowering their prices and not following two middle-aged women around in the store. The only reason I go this store is because my mom likes it, but I will not frequent. After this intrusion on our shopping experience, I felt embarrassed as it was unnecessary and unwarranted. If shop lifting is an issue here, better be a bit more considerate of honest folks. Thank goodness my mom did not notice.
