They communicate poorly with customers. They just make it absolutely clear that they do not care about the customers.

Decide not to mention medication is out of stock until questioned why refill is taking so long.

Do yourself a favor and go to QFC or Haggen.

I made an appointment for some vaccinations. My on line confirmed appointment time was 11:20 am…read more I got there on time. I stood at the empty counter for 10 minutes ("Pick Up" line is where you go for vaccinations.) A couple employees passing by did say "I'll be right with you." Eventually the counter was staffed and I was asked to fill out a form on a clip board. The form was the same one I'd been enticed to complete on-line as a way of saving time. I filled out all the same information again, and turned it in. Other people presumably waiting for vaccinations stacked up behind me, eventually 4 deep, outside the private consulting room where they give shots. Nobody went into that room, and nobody came out. I was first in line for my shots. But they apparently did not have anyone on staff who could give shots. 40 minutes after arrival I told the guy in line behind me good luck and left. With the drive, this was a waste of an hour and forty minutes of my time. On the way out I almost bought a bottle of Bactine, but figured I'd not reward them for wasting my time. I found the identical product at Wal-Mart for $5 less. On the positive side, this store is better stocked (post Chapter 11 filing) than the store in Freeland. Not great, but better.

One time I was only given half of my prescription, even tho the bottle was labeled the full amount, luckily I noticed, I called and they said, oh ya we have the other half here you can come get it. Causing me to make another trip for no reason. The staff takes no accountability or responsibility and acts like they couldn't care less. Fortunately it wasn't life saving medicine I needed. They always seem so slammed and overwhelmed, causing them to have terrible attitudes. I will def not be going back to Bartell Drugs in Lake Stevens.

Basic manners would go a long way. The pharmacist stood there and said nothing. Will never go back.

Update to this review: Even though my doctor called in this refill 3 weeks ago, it went to the Rite Aid refill center and was hung up in processing.

Slow, inefficient, and rude, this is definitely the worst pharmacy I've ever been to…read more The first problem is mostly in optics. This pharmacy is open and exposed to the customers and some of the store, and as such you can really get a sense of how inefficient it is. There's often more than five people working here but many of them just seem to be standing around working on "something" while one or two max are actively helping customers. Maybe it's just that this particular pharmacy services more clients or something but compared to nearly every other place I've ever got my drugs from where there are like one or two people visibly working in the department, this one has like 3X the people but is three times slower. 90% of the time you're going to be waiting 10+ minutes to get helped. Everything takes forever. Once you finally get up the counter, despite you having a notice that your prescription is ready for pickup you're occasionally going to have wait an additional 15-30 minutes because apparently it won't be after all. And then there's the attitude of some of the people working there. On three separate occasions I've heard people working there been audible combative with customers on the phone or to the in person patrons, all in earshot of everyone in line. A few days ago an old guy was complaining quite reasonably in the general spirit of what I've described above and some guy in the desk behind the counter very loudly scolded him: "We are facing numerous organizational and personnel challenges right now and your attitude isn't helping. I've had six people quit on me recently." This guy should be fired NOW because if he's going to work in customer service he needs to grow up immediately.

It was an awesome shopping experience. The service was great and gave plenty of free parking.read more
