New Tazewell Walgreens scraped the bottom of the barrel when hiring their pharmacist. Had a…read moremedicine my doctor was going to prescribe,no generic available, it was a temporary medicine until I could see surgeon in 2 weeks. My doctor said it's expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it. Call BCBS and it was not covered,told my doctor to wait on sending prescription until I shopped around. I called Walgreens,told pharmacist name and mg, she said I need your birthday and the doctor name. I explained that I didn't have a prescription yet that I would be paying out of pocket. She said I have to have a prescription before I quote a price. Explained situation again, she said " I don't have time to fool with this" and slammed the phone down. I called back, different pharmacist, after a bit of complaining she finally said $238. So I called Food City Pharmacy 2 blocks away, they said it will be $127 out of pocket since your insurance doesn't cover it. So if you live in the tri state area of Tn., Va. My, just go on by Walgreens to Food City,Walmart or thru the tunnel to a pharmacy in Middlesboro, because both Walgreens Pharmacist or parm techs. are extremely rude and most recent reviews on Google, Consumer affairs or Yelp are all 1 and 2 star. However there are still 4 and 5 star reviews,but look at the date,most are 3,4, and 5 years ago,so evidently the old has left and the new didn't learn respect and how that bad news travels fast on FB, Instagram and X.

This Food City went Above and Beyond. I HONESTLY can NOT…read morebrag on this place enough. The workers have hearts of Integrity and Outstanding Morale. Specifically with Ashley, Sara and Taylor. Backstory: I came here to buy some Yogurts for my Grandfather, some sushi, honey, and Water because they had a killer sale. When I got there, there was plenty of parking. Walked in and grabbed a cart, and started my shopping. Whilst my Shopping, I guess my Son threw my Designer wallet out from the cart without me Realizing it lol!! Now, mind you, the wallet itself is expensive and it had $300 cash in it, ALL of my Credit, Bank Cards and ID. IF this would have gotten into the wrong hands, my Life would have been in shambles for a while. Here I was in the Honey section doing my thing, and all the sudden I heard over the Loud speaker in the store.... "Mrs. Kanevski, Please come to Customer Service, Mrs. Kanevski, to the Customer Service Desk." I was thinking... "Did I Park Illegally or something?!" When I got there, ASHLEY from the Customer Service Desk, flashed my Wallet at me!! Thank you so Much to whomever returned my Wallet and did NOT steal it. If it was Ashley... You're a Doll and an Absolute Lifesaver!! I thanked her and carried on with my Shopping. When I was done and Getting rung out, one of the workers, SARA, who was scanning the yogurts noticed one of them was busted, but couldn't narrow it down to which one-(since I had bought so many.) I was in a hurry and declined the offer to get a new one there. She noticed the problem promptly, and addressed it immediately by pulling TAYLOR over. They both reassured me that when I find the busted one to just bring it back and they will give me a new One!! Thanks Girls!! When I was done, I went to go hunt down the worker who found my Wallet again and Thank her. When I did, ASHLEY again, offered her hand to me in helping me get my thing to my Vehicle. She loaded my Car for me- HOW SWEET and GENEROUS!! I will DEFINITELY come back to this store over ANY store. The Care and Hospitality I received from this store was just ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Thank you so much for being so Helpful and Generous. The world needs more Good-Hearted People like y'all! Thank you! My Recommendations: -If you don't have a Value Card...GET ONE! (It's free) -Sushi from here is Fresh and Amazing!! Pros: -Workers with Integrity!! -Personable, Caring and Honest Workers! (I cannot brag on the workers enough!!) -Great Sushi -Great Prices, and Deals! -Clean store and plenty of Parking! Cons: -Absolutely Nothing!! Thank you! -Karenza Kanevski
