Walgreens 15225 Pacific Avenue South, Tacoma, WA 98444

"The pharmacy is SO slow. I'm not sure how it takes 10+ minutes per car to get a prescription. And you place your order over the phone and the prescription is never ready! What's the point of calling. Going to switch to Rite Aid."

"Pharmacy doesn’t always answer the phone. Sometimes they leave you on hold until it times out and hangs up on you. Also, the aggressive anti-homeless music outside is absolutely ridiculous! There are other solutions. I won’t support a business that is hostile in this way. This Walgreens sucks."

"I wish I could give a negative rating, however, that is not an option here. I have never been a customer at this location. Other locations, yes, but not this particular one and after seeing the way management in the store handle things and reading views, I will never be a customer here. Last Tuesday, the manager (Named Lamonika) had called me and asked if I was still interested in the Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship position, to which I replied, yes. As a result, an interview was scheduled for the 8th. I was excited because I felt like I was a step closer to accomplishing my dream. I even went as far as calling to make sure I had the right address. Fast forward to Monday the 8th, which was a special day for me and my wife and I was hoping to land this job as I love helping people and I feel at home in the Pharmacy. I arrived there on time and spoke with Lamonika, who despite her attempt at portraying an easygoing vibe, her true energy is a thinly veiled secret. Initially, I was led to believe this interview was going to be a good one. That was, until, she found out I came to the interview via a bus ride and that was when her energy shifted, though she tried her best to not show that. Moments after, she said to me, “Make sure your license is renewed, even if you don’t get hired here.” When I told her my license was active until the 21st of this month (My birthday) and I could get it renewed before that day, I guess she didn’t hear that part. Lamonika then told me, if she didn’t come to a decision that day, it would be on the 9th. I left the interview feeling down and dreading the worst. It is now Tuesday and I called her at 2:30 PM and she told me how she was choosing someone else based on experience, when I have experience and my resume proved that. My reason for writing this is for anyone considering to work here, let alone apply here or even shop here. Look at the reviews on here and everywhere else, such as Yelp and think twice. Run far and away because whether you are a customer or a worker, Lamonika will disappoint you and break your heart without a second thought."

"1/10/24 I came in around 6pm ish to pick up a few essentials in parkland WA. I came in with a Safeway store provider bag. Mind you I’m an African American woman. One of the sales associates approached me in a disrespectful way . (Definitely profiling) she looked new I haven’t seen her before. First off she asked me “if I needed any help” I said “no thank you”. As I’m shopping placing items in my bag. She then starts yelling at me to go to the front of the store rushing me to check out . Following me around the store (me assuming she thinks I don’t have the money to purchase my items /stealing). She also Stated, “it’s against WA state law to shop with a different store provider bag”!! WEIRD… We pay for bags in WA state. So now I’m under the impression that I can’t bring my own bag to shop with. This has never happened to me before. Definitely discrimination, It’s 2024 Walgreens do better!!!"

"The pharmacy's structure and system is very flawed. To pick up my dogs prescription we came twice in person to pick it up giving our information to them twice and still it wasn't filled after two text message from this Walgreens pharmacy informing me that the script is filled. The pharmacist/manger said she would fill it in 10 mins. It was ready but now 50% in cost. I will not be returning to this Walgreens pharmacy and discourage people to come here."
