Walgreens

All colors of the rainbow frequent this location for everything household, from hair clips to chips. The employees are part of the mix. And they have cool random seasonal sales.

If you require a decongestant containing pseudoephedrine for that awful allergy-​induced sinus pressure, don’t bother coming here. I stopped in after work today to purchase some Mucinex-​D for my husband who had stayed home from work with a sore throat and severe sinus pressure. The pharmacist first asked a series of intrusive questions about my symptoms, and I mentioned that the medication was for my husband. He then refused to sell the medication to me stating that my husband would have to come in himself to buy it. He then attempted to recommend several unhelpful options. My husband had already tried phenylephrine as well as an antihistamine with no relief. As a nurse, I’m aware that a product containing pseudoephedrine is generally the best option for that «my head is going to explode from sinus pressure» feeling. That’s fine, I get that Tennessee has a meth problem, and he was trying to do his little part to attempt to prevent that. What I did not appreciate was the scene that was caused at the cash register in front of other customers. The pharmacist made me feel like a criminal and embarrassed me when he could have calmly explained his personal (not company or state or federal) policy for refusing to sell medication to me. That was within his rights as a pharmacist, and I respect that. He just reinforced thoughts that I have had when I have picked up prescriptions at this pharmacy. Customers are a nuisance. Customer service and respect for patient privacy are not priorities at this store. I will no longer be filling any prescriptions or purchasing anything here.
