Went into this pharmacy only because it is inside the same medical building as my doctor's office. I thought great, how convenient! But the moment I walked into the place I started getting weird vibes.
So I drop off my prescription and my insurance card and the guy tells me I don't have pharmacy/prescription coverage on my medical plan. I said, that's ridiculous, I absolutely do! So he says, well okay I need call them to verify, so I think great, I will just wait and everything will be fine. Then he tells me he called the insurance company but they're closed. Really? United Healthcare doesn't have 24 hours assistance? You're full of shit, I know they aren't closed at 4 PM on a Wednesday. So he says, let me try again. (?)
So then i'm casually walking about the store (which also sells candles and gifts and such), and a young girl (Eastern European or something) walks over to me and says "Not sure if they told you but the candles are 20% off." I'm like, um, k thanks? I mean, I am only meandering through the store while they are trying to get my insurance info and fill my prescription, not to purchase anything else.
Then ten minutes later I am standing in a another part of the store waiting, basically just staring into space and the same girl comes over, "Oh, the lunchboxes are 15% off." I was like COOL, I am only here for prescriptions, I don't need a lunchbox! So it was clear they were trying to get me to buy something, so awkward.
So at this point, I think to myself, I have to get out of here, weird vibes and I can just easily take my script to Target like usual, and I don't want to have to come back to this place where there is no parking anyway.
So then I went over to the pharmacy counter and said, I'm just going to take my prescription somewhere else, thank you. And he says, "well, you might as well just wait because you're going to have the same issue somewhere else." And I said, "give me my prescription back please." Then one of the pharmacists said," we can just run it without your insurance and then deliver it to you tomorrow." I said "NO, please just give me my prescription back, thank you," which eventually they did.
So then I remembered that the parking structure was cash only and my doctor said they validate with a purchase, and plus they have signs that say so.
So I made the mistake of asking at the main register (same girl from earlier) if they have a minimum purchase for validation because I knew I didn't have any cash. So she says, "20 minutes validation w/prescription filled or full validation with $10 purchase." So at this point I was like, I am just going to buy something for $10 so they will validate. Fine. So I put some items on the counter and all of a sudden this same girl who tried to sell me candles and a lunchbox says, "we only do 20 minutes of validation." I was like, THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME LIKE NO LESS THAN 10 SECONDS AGO!" She did NOT want to validate my parking. I was so angry at this point I challenged her on it like 3 times before I realized that it was pointless. So I left that place telling them loudly that their pharmacy was fucking weird and that they need to get their shit together! (Then I had to go back in and use their shady ATM to get cash so I could get out of the parking structure!).
AWFUL experience, DO NOT get your meds filled there, they are so shady! read more
