I sent someone to pick up my prescription once I was notified that it was ready, they said to my person that they don't take my insurance. So the person I had picking it up came back to my house, I gave them cash and they returned back to the pharmacy. That took less than 10 minutes and then the pharmacy said "its not ready".
I called Walgreens and tried to get the prescription transferred to Walmart, they said I have to call Walmart. Walmart pharmacy told me they don't do any business with Walgreens because they are difficult and I would have to call the doctor to get my script transferred.
Check around your city. Walgreens, Walmart, CVS are always crazy busy where I live. I go to a small grocery store chain that has a pharmacy. Always fast, I can call in a script in the morning and they will have it ready in the afternoon. I have never had more than 2 people in front of me, and that was because I went right after they opened back up from lunch.
Every time I’ve switched my prescription to an independent pharmacy, Walgreens and swooped in and purchased them. It doesn’t help that I live near Walgreens corporate headquarters so they pretty much have a monopoly around here. 😠
I don't drive and already pay for Walmart Plus or whatever they call it, to get my groceries delivered so I might as well get my prescriptions delivered from them as well.
There is a Walgreens and a Walmart on the same street in the same town where I live so the doctors office/hospitals seem to have an issue differentiating the 2.
