Walgreens 2550 East 88th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99507

"This is probably the worst Walgreens pharmacy I’ve had to experience. The pharmacy intern, I believe his name is Trevor but I’m not sure, he is a talker gentlemen with curly brown hair, blue eyes and a gross attitude. Anyway, this intern decided that he could tell me to leave my current psychologist of over 20 years because he said so, and he would like to confirm my prescriptions were real. Mind you, they are called in by my physician every 6 months. I have also been on the same 3 medications since moving here, but overall on the same ones for over 15 years. When they decided to tell me I needed to switch my doctor, and he didn’t believe my prescriptions were real, the short “supervisor” not only raised his voice, but had no response to what I was saying. Having a legitimate prescription that is refilled regularly by a licensed and top rated physician must be fake because he’s out of state. Prior to moving I called that particular Walgreens and my physician to make sure I could still keep him. It would have been a determining factor in whether I moved if I needed to stop seeing my doctor. These staff members are rude, condescending, provide no actual information and must really hate their jobs. I hate writing negative reviews like this and didn’t the first time I had a weird altercation with them. But this second time was INSANE. The shorter gentlemen with olive toned skin who acted like it was his first day on the job and the intern who sincerely believed he had the right to tell a customer that they had to change their doctor really need to be re trained. I am working on filing official complaints with corporate and the store because of how they acted. This pharmacy used to be slow but somewhat pleasant when the other staff was there. Seriously, I was flabbergasted by the intern’s audacity at saying “I told you to get a new doctor.” Crazyyyyy. I would recommend going to a different pharmacy altogether."

"I had been bad experience when it comes to the pharmacy picking up and refilling meds, but this far is the worst experience with Walgreen in 88th avenue. I was paying the things I bought whenI noticed that the cashier guy (curly medium long hair) has billed me juice that I did not buy. I told him and he said that the guy ahead of me did not pay the item but not to worries he can void it. In my end I can still see that I have that item on the list for me to pay. I told him again about it and he sarcastically told me that it is already voided and even asked me to take photo of his screen. So I-paid the amount on the screen and can still see the juice item that is included. He even did jot hand me the receipt, he just told me” your receipt is there” so I pulled out the receipt myself from their machine. I went out calculated the items I paid with my own cp and SURE it is, the juice that I did not have or buy is included on the amount I paid. I went back inside and told one of the cashier person, and the guy whom I paid my stuff still insisting that the juice was voided and not included in what I paid. So we scan all my stuff and together with the discount I have SURE enough I WAS BILLED THE ITEM THAT I DID NOT BUY. And the guy (whom I don't know the name) still says that they will be short of money because the item was already voided. What and A******! He did not do his job properly, no manners and want to pay the item that was not paid by the other costumer so he will not get in-trouble. I did not hear any apologies from anyone specially from that cashier guy and till the end still insisting it was voided. one of his coworker even said that I was billed with the juice, other one said he does joy know how can he void it without the managers approval. That kind of guy should bot be dealing with money and should not be un the cashier job. He will make other pay items that was not paid by others because of his negligence on his job. CHECK U GUYS RECEIPT BEFOTR LEAVING!"

"My biggest issue is that whenever I call the local number and ask to speak with pharmacy staff, I end up talking to someone outside of Alaska... which doesn't make sense to me in general, and its very frustrating because 99% of the questions I have are related to local medication regulations. Also, the recording asks you to stay on the line to do a survey, but the call disconnects as soon as the store hangs up. Overall, this store is quite pleasant to work with, for myself and the patients we have who use them."

"I walked in 30 minutes before close. Waited in line for 10. Was told my script had not arrived from Dr office and they close soon so call them and send to another pharmacy. My clinic said stay put we will call it in there’s still 15 minutes. Closed their gate 10 minutes before close. Not kind, helpful, or sympathetic to someone obviously needing medicine for an illness and not just trying to keep them from leaving work early."
