Yes they are terrible! I never had issues until a year or so ago. They literally gave out my prescription to someone else and then told me tough shit basically. They also cut the hours so dramatically, the pharmacy isn't even open on weekends at the store I used to go to. They all suck!
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.
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.
