Walgreens

This Walgreens got a brand new facelift, but don’t let that fool you. It’s still a crappy location. The pharmacy is slow, and the employees at the pharmacy are typically unhelpful and unmotivated. I will say that the cashiers at the front are at least nice, but they don’t go above and beyond, as do the cashiers at other locations I’ve been to. But I think my biggest complaint here is going to be the amount of people that they allow to hang out around the front of the store after dark and their lack of security pertaining to them. I had just finished purchasing two bottles of soda from this location and was walking out to my car. I put the soda in through my driver’s door, then I walked around to check my trunk because I had noticed it was rattling on the ride there and I wanted to make sure it was fully closed. I then walked back around to the front of the car and started to get in. As I was getting in, I felt somebody grab my arm and pull me the rest of the way into my car. Yeah, somebody had entered my car from the passenger side without me knowing or noticing. I will admit that this was partially my own fault, as I keep my interior lights set so that they don’t come on when a door is opened, but regardless, it happened. I was then forced at gunpoint to drive this man a decent distance down the road, before he attempted to make me turn into some apartment complexes. At this point I fought with the man, forcing him to jump out of my car. When I filed a police report immediately afterwards, they told me that there was nothing they could really do, as stuff like this happens regularly at this particular location, and the only cameras they have on the outside of the store point towards the pharmacy or towards the immediate front door. Apparently, there is nothing pointing towards where my car was parked at the time of the incident. In essence, their lack of lighting and security cameras in the parking lot area is not only what allowed this crime to happen, but is the reason I was unable to prosecute or even ID the perp. The only reason I continue to come back to this location is because my mother-​in-​law gets her prescriptions filled here, and I pick them up for her. If it wasn’t for that, I would start going to CVS up the road. This is a very trashy Walgreens, filled with and constantly surrounded by just as trashy people.

This local Walgreen’s received a well needed facelift! They have a new and improved beauty section, groceries and a new fresh food section. The beauty section is pretty amazing with some great OTC products. I would suggest that if you are going to grab some of the fresh food items that you find out how fresh they are. The other day they looked fresh but today — not so much. I have to credit where credit is due though because this particular location was not very pleasant prior to their overhaul.

I hate Walgreens with the passion of a million choo-​choo trains! I stopped using their pharmacy because they overcharge their customers & will try to convince you that they are not. My brother was accused of shoplifting by a cashier. She asked him to take the item out of his pocket or she was calling the police. He told her to call the police. And while she does that, he plans on calling WFTV. Apparently, her eyesight was wrong & the police were not called.
I did enjoy my last visit at Walgreens though. A lady cussed my entire time there, loudly. It was beautiful.

Walgreens and I have had MANY issues. Well, THEY have issues. They had no fucking CLUE how to coordinate my benefits until my main pharmacy (CVS) instructed them how to do so. Of course, I had to tell the Pharmacist at Walgreens to call CVS and do this. So, for ages, they were overcharging me for my scripts since they were not billing my insurance companies properly.
Why do I continue to go here? Because one of my doctors prefers the maker of one the generic prescriptions that they offer which no other pharmacy offers. I finally got everything sorted out, but not with help from anyone at Walgreens. Nonono, with help from me, myself and I. I am thoroughly convinced that they are all inept at every location.
This has happened at the following Walgreens locations:

Sanford, FL 32 773
Store #: 3107
3803 S. Orlando Dr.
Sanford, FL 32 773
Store #: 6970
One drive-​thru for the pharmacy here and it is S. L. O. W. as fuck. If I could walk to the back of the store by myself, I would, but that’s what the drive-​thru is for, right? One of their Pharmacist’s at this location, Susan V., is an uppity, unhelpful piece of work. Waits until I come to pick up my med to tell me about possible interactions (already know about them) instead of calling me. No wonder the drive-​thru wait is so long (over 30 minutes that day). Ineptitude.
Pharmacy open 24 – 7.
