I am with you there. The last two I have had filled there have been awful. The first one I called in my script and gave them until the next day and when I went to pick it up it was not ready. Their reason was that it was kicked out of the system because I had a free trial week which I had used the first time so it had tried to apply it to it again. Now mind you when I got there they looked it up and saw the problem right away. But I had to wait another 1 1/2 hours for it to be ready. Why could they have not took the one minute and looked it up when it was kicked I asked, they said they don't bother unless someone comes and needs it. Needs it? Why else would you be there? The last one I took was an antibotic for my son and they said it was a 3 1/2 hr wait, so I went back when the time was up and guess what they had not filled it either. They needed to know if he was allergic to penicillin. Why did the girl who took the prescription not ask that question? Another 45 minute wait and I finally got it. If it wasn't for no insurance and needing the $4 meds I would change in a heart beat.

Remember they are filling hundreds of RX's a day (A few years ago I think we topped 800 in one day). They are human and get agitated when they are slammed... I worked at Wal Mart pharmacy as a clerk, and there were days that it was hard to keep my smile on.. I was never rude (goodness at least I hope not), but when it is busy it can be a mad house for everyone involved....

It's still worth it to me to get my scripts for $4. We were lucky enough that all of ours were on the list or were able to be changed to ones that were on the list. And, we live very near tha Wal Mart, so it is not a problem to run back there when they are busy.

Sure, that goes for anyone. Unfortunately at my Walmart, they are ALWAYS like that. I don't just go in there every six months either. For the past couple of years I think I was there just about once a week. It seems like they never have enough staff, the wait is always incredible, they won't call the doctor's office for you, I get attitude from the various techs, 1 in particular. This is not a freak occurrence, this is EVERY time. They've loudly announced what meds I was picking up and made inappropriate comments about them. And it sounds like it's not just my Walmart. I'm not saying every single Walmart is like that, but no one can tell me "oh they're just stressed because they're busy." Guess what, I get stressed too but I don't talk to clients like that. I will call my Rx in to pickup 2 days later and I still have to wait up to an hour or more to actually receive my medication. Unreal! It's getting to the point where it's not worth it anymore.
