Walgreens

ARGH! Walgreens is the only pharmacy in town that does not take my insurance. I called them to see what plans they do take because I wanted to switch plans in order to fill at this location. I was on hold for a long time before anyone came on the line, and she asked me if would hold! I said no, I’ve been holding for too long. I asked her what AHCCCS plans they take and she said yes, all AHCCS. Wrong answer! They don’t take all AHCCCS plans! That’s why I was going to switch.
I asked her to find out which plans and she put me on hold just to come back and tell me they don’t take my plan. ARGH! When I asked her which ones they do take, she left me on hold again. I hadn’t even gotten to my other question yet.
But I popped onto Unilocal while I was holding and in lieu of these other complaints I just hung up and decided to stick with what I have. Jeez, it’s sad that a community full of retired folk doesn’t have a single decent pharmacy in town.
But at least CVS is tolerable if you can stand the lines. Otherwise, it’s Walmart who fills scripts in their own sweet time, never same day even in an emergency, or Safeway who can’t get anything done for a week.

This place was a godsend. There were many of these on every corner but this one stood out. It had everything we forgot on our trip.
We stopped at this particular Walgreens for sunscreen, hats, water, sodas, snacks. You name it we shopped for it here.
We even bought a bottle of Patron here. We being from Oregon are not used to the convenience of being able to buy alcohol anywhere except at a state run liquor store.
A great quick stop.
