I Hate Walgreens, Take Advantage Of Them Today And Get Free Stuff

[FakeBoobsRule]

Walgreens is the worst chain parmacy as the company is run by idiots and they hire idiots from their managers to pharmacists. Sad because the idiots are ruining what was once a good company.

So, take advantage of them today (9-12-2007) as they are offering free printer cartridge refills today as a promo for their new service, one per household. Take them the more expensive one, the color cartridge, but don't buy anything from them while you are there or else!!!

[slipknotpsycho]

hey! my wife works there :(

[FakeBoobsRule]

Well then she probably knows what I'm talking about. I bet she feels like she is surrounded by idiots at work and that she is the only one who uses her brain.

[BabySnookums]

LOL yes!! take advantage of the assholes on the 12th!!!!

(i'm off and don't have to deal w/the throngs of morons trying to come in w/one inkjet per person in their house, getting mad that its only 1 per household)

they were trying to make me come in, on a day i had requested off a month ago to go to an appointment for my son, and gotten it approved as an off day, for the sole purpose of doing inkjets :mad:

they suck balls...hairy.......nasty......balls

thank goodness i raised hell....off days rule when you only have one teeny lil errand to run :thumbsup:

[ghosty]

ive had mixed results with walgreens, the one closest to my houe is terrible, the service is terrible, they constantly fuck up on filling perscriptions and get bitchy about stupid things, and for some reasons even when things dont go wrong in there i just get this bad vibe in there that makes me want to leave as soon as possible...

and dont EVER let them develop your photos... they've messed mine up a few times, after the last time where they ruined the negatives so i couldnt take it anywhere else i refused to go back, used to be so convenient to cause it's so close

however the one a little further downtown is a prety well run one

[BabySnookums]

Well then she probably knows what I'm talking about. I bet she feels like she is surrounded by idiots at work and that she is the only one who uses her brain.

yep...i'm a certified photo specialist....and i get all the effin work. i gadda give everyone lunch, clear out the stockroom, clean the floor, unstop toilets, answer the phones...PLUS all my photo duties....

i'm contemplating going to CVS...if they'd hire me as head of photo, i heard from someone they start you at like 13/hr.... *shifty eyes*

[happiestmferoutthere]

There is a "fight" going on in my town. Walgreens wants to build a store here( We have a high retiree population... lots of prescriptions!)but the city council is insisting they make changes to comply with the city code. This is a tourist town and the buildings have to look a certain way. Walgreens is fighting them tooth and nail to comply. Every one else that builds there has to follow the rules. I wonder why they think they don't!
DOWN WITH WALGREENS!:gunfighter2:

hey...walgreens bash all ya want...but not all photo ppl suck ass....i, for one...totally kick ass at what i do (photo)...and i don't eff shit up (except for that one roll my first day...but nuthin since then)

how were the negs. ruined anyways? what'd they look like when you got em back? and what other ways did they mess your shit up?

i'd just call and complain to a mgr....they like to kiss the ass of the customer at walgreens....you'd prolly get free developing plus a free roll of film, or somethin else from em

[hightech]

| honestly thought that cvs and walgreens were one and the same

[BabySnookums]

| honestly thought that cvs and walgreens were one and the same

around here, at least, all the cvs's are in the spots the old eckerd's drug stores used to be....they either went under, or got bought out or w/e....but they're totally diff.

[birdgirl73]

I'm in line with my color cartridge, then.

I never fill prescriptions there any more. The nearest one to us shorted me on a simple order for .5 mg warfarin, the easiest script in the world to fill correctly. Just pour from the big .5 mg bottle and count. I wondered if they might have a racket going to short the insured public 10 pills per script and save a billion dollars by the end of fiscal year 2007.

I have to say that the people at the cosmetics/perfume counter there have always been very nice to me. That's been the redeeming factor at our Walgreen's.

[FakeBoobsRule]

Ah, yes Smithers, my plan is working nicely, let the hatred for Walgreens flow quickly and freely. :vader1:

I find the number one concern of upper level management or pharmacy managers at Walgreens is where they are going to eat lunch that day. They do make a lot of prescription mistakes and there is no excuse for that. They are paid well and highly educated so they need to do their job right. On top of that, they have a very advanced computer system which should reduce erros but no not with the idiots that they hire. Then when they make a mistake they do try to make you feel like you should consider yourself lucky they let you come into their store only to have them make the error. I don't think there is a coporate memo out saying "When you screw up, belittle the patient so they forget that you made a mistake with their meds" but that is the attitude at many Walgreens.

I don't think I have ever had a problem with their photo department. In fact that is a redeeming quality about them as I have taken naked photos there to be developed before the popularity of digitals cameras and they never screw that up.

CVS bought out Eckerd's. They have much better people working for them in managment and the pharmacies.

our pharmacy ppl sometimes order delivery food...they'll be chowin down on hot wings or effin pizza back there, and they dont share...well, this one pharm. tech offered me a slice once....

but OMG...there's this one overnight pharmacist...he's suuuuuuuuuch a dick...to everyone....customer complaints on him allllllllllllll the time

[MadSativa]

hahah I dont even know whats going on but I like the way slip said " HEY MY WIFE WORKS THEIR" I'll go rip off some walgreens right now cause I want tequila and tequila is no longer on sale.........so Im off with my running shoes and big smile on my face cause Im gonna blast some gangsta shit the whole time..........................hahaha Mike Jones where u at. You'd like this one

yeah fuck that dude.. he's smart enough to fill prescriptions but somehow can't transfer a call???

[MadSativa]

slip are u and snookums realated????????????

[FakeBoobsRule]

Not by blood but marriage. Haha beat them to it!

[BabySnookums]

yall dont realize how much i really, truly hate my job LOL...

there's this one fat ugly bitch thats been sexually harrassing me (she's a co-worker) and nobody did dick about it until i went to the acting store mgr....(other was on maternity leave)...now they're prolly gonna shitcan her ass....

and any time i go by the rules, and a customer don't like the rules...they'll be like "GET YOUR MANAGER!!!!" and the mgr bends over and takes it up the ass for the sake of "customer service"...fucking retards...i can't wait till somethin better comes along...hell, maybe someday i'll be able to take classes for graphic design or something like that....i wanna do somethin art-related...but no money at this point....

FUCK WALGREENS!!!

oh, btw...for those that wanna do the refills....you have to present the coupon in this weeks flyer to get it...

[birdgirl73]

Yeah, that's bad mojo, Rx mess-ups. Think about all the old folks or parents with small children who don't know enough to catch that stuff, and it's scary as hell. Their pharmacists don't seem to last from week to week, and I have never figured that out why they don't stay on, but it must be the culture of the company or else they transfer pharmacists in and out of different stores like nurses pull from different units.

I now fill the scripts I don't from mail order at Tom Thumb, an area grocery store, and they have had the same pharmacists on staff for years. They're good, too, and very accurate. They're our area 24-hour pharmacy, too, and inevitably have even the most obscure inventory on hand. I have high praise for Tom Thumb. Dave and his colleagues like them best of all around here.

[BabySnookums]

slip are u and snookums realated????????????

married....nearly 4 years.....although when we both worked together at sonic, we were the only white people, so all the hispanic ppl we worked with assumed he was my little brother...it was kinda funny too.... :D

[birdgirl73]

slip are u and snookums realated????????????
They're married, MadSativa.

My husband posts here, too. We have three or four board couples.

EDIT: Snookums beat me to the punch!

tonight...i kept getting a call bouncing back from pharmacy...a lady needing to know info on drug interacting on meds for her 2 yr old kid...we'd page pharm. and let em know they had a call on "w/e line" and they'd either never pick up, or they'd hang up...either way...that customer went unhelped for awhiiiiiiiiiiiiile...even the mgr tried to make them pick up and they wouldn't...

sorry for the excessive cussing...buuuuuuuuuuut:

FUCK WALGREENS!!

[MadSativa]

hahah I did not know this its nice to know congrates on the 4 years guys, and the little brother thing is halarious.........and I love sonic there is one about a block from mee Im a coupon whore their. I knew slip worked at Sonic but I didnt even know the 2 of you knew each other. Right now its peach smoothie time......Here their is lots of cute car hop girls, as soon as I find out their 18 or over Im all over em I just like the whole roller girl thing .

[BabySnookums]

repped ya birdy ^_^

consider it your consolation prize for me kicking your arse on answering that question LOL

[birdgirl73]

^^ Now, see? That's just scary. Y'all are right, F 'em. When a mother of a toddler can't get a question about drug interactions answered, that's just wrong. I hope the poor little dude didn't get sick as a result. Did anyone ever help?

Realy birdy thats so kool couple that post togeather stays togeather. I have been tryin to get some of my female friends to post but oddly they are shy about internet things but some of em are dancers and take their close off for money all the time but are embarrased about the internet forum thing. wierd

[BabySnookums]

not sure...she didn't bounce back after i helped her...so *crosses fingers*

i apoligized for the lack of service, and told her that i'd page them again, and i did so quite loudly....and i'd told her beforehand that if she still got hung up on/didn't get thru...call IMMEDIATELY back, press the option for photo (where i was at) and i would see that a mgr went back to pharm. and yelled at em, or even went back there and picked up the phone and MADE someone help her....

*cringes* if you only could see this chick tho....bleeeeeeeeeghhhh....you know how some guys talk about those "dates" where you wake up and some nasty ho is layin on your arm, and you'd rather chew your arm off than wake her up? she's fuglier than that...thats how wasted i was...

but she even calls my friend up at our job sayin she's gonna kill herself cuz i wont be w/her...she says its not cheating cus she's a chick...and she shaved all her hair off (a week before britney did it LOL) outta depression over it...and awhile back, when she was over here...i fell asleep, and slip stayed up cuz he wasn't bout to sleep w/her here...and she just stared at me sleepin and cried for 2 hrs...and one time she blurts out "i'm a murderer"...

and she has this theory bout her husband. years ago he was killed (drunk driver got him) and she says he's not really dead. he had a twin and the twin died, he's still out there, just wont come find me cuz my family has ties to the bush admin. and he's a democrat...

recently she had informed me he's a triplet...and she swears that mine and slips friend has a twin...

our friend says she's prolly just wishin he had a straight twin cuz she wants him (and he's gay)

[Purple Banana]

Target pharmacy is better! I like John, Gerald, and Rebecca- great pharmacists, and they get scripts and refills done so fast!

[birdgirl73]

Realy Bordy thats so kool couple that post togeather stays togeather.
I like to think so, Mad! Our son lurks here from college and occasionally IMs me his thoughts, which tend to be things like "Mama, you need to shut up on that so-and-so thread." (Usually where I've mentioned him.) He hasn't joined up yet but it wouldn't surprise me if he did sometime.

[BabySnookums]

tar-jay is to effin expensive...one sheet costededed me like 40 bucks...same thing at wally world is only like 13 bucks...max

He HATED the thread in parenting where I talked about his upcoming 21st birthday plans. But he got over it.

I'll get an IM on these comments tomorrow. He doesn't embarrass as easily now as he did when he was 14 or 15, but any self-respecting young man has to preserve his dignity and privacy somehow, especially with a mom like me.

Now I mostly just talk about him to all my girlfriends and their college-aged daughters. . . . (Just kidding, son! ;))

haha yeah Coyote Ugly. I dont drink any more cause I fear the coyote ugly all my partners (I callem partners cause they were just sex partners not girl friends dont get the wrong idea) and girls have been very attractive and if I were to ever break this I fear the world will end. However I am gonna drink tonight, and watch some HOMEGROWN kin a bit just waiting for my peps to show up they get off whe the strip clubs close so in a minute or two I should be gettin a call and an order for 2 joints stat

[BabySnookums]

lol...i can't wait till our son is older...i'mma wait till he effs up really bad...while his friends are over or what not...then tell my fave baby story of him so far...

he was a few months old, and we had him on our bed on a changing pad. i take his diaper off, and before i could get a new one on, he began peeing. it arced about a foot above his head, getting all over the bed. then when the piss-stream slowed down, it got shorter, and he ended up peeing all over his face...he was crying the whole time...it was funny as hell. gross but funny

[MadSativa]

well ladies I would like to chat a little more about the couple posting, specialy since I got the better parts of the couples (the females) here, (jk) but my peps are here and wana use the net and looks like Im getting some um candy tonight so Ill see u ladies later. realy nice to hear about the couple posting though

[birdgirl73]

Please pardon the thread-topic divergence, others than Snookums!

Baby boys are good at that! This'll get me another "shut up, Mama," but that same scenario must have happened at our house about five times before I finally got smart enough to use the new diaper as a shield. The men in this household can project fluid very ably. This is also why I pay someone to clean their bathrooms.

Did I tell you I'm going to be an aunt in six more weeks when my younger sister has her little boy? After 21 years, there's going to be another baby in the family. Our son won't be the family's only grandchild any more. This is a good thing. I almost can't wait to be an aunt.

awww...congrats on being an auntie!! :D:D
whats she gonna name him?

i'm gonna get a "shut the hell up" for this...but slip can actually stop peeing and only let one drop at a time come out....why can dudes do weird stuff w/bodily fluids? lol

yeah, i hadn't perfected the diaper-shield technique at that point...hell, one time at my mother in laws, slip was changing a diaper, and the baby decided to pee again after slip was already fastening the new one. so he got a fresh one, and the baby kept peeing as soon as the new one was on him...happened a few times LOL.

newest, funniest thing our son does, is he'll do something, and startle himself, or drop something, or get scolded, and he'll say "oh chit"

actually no i don't care.... took awhiel to learn that o.0 might as well be proud of it.

[birdgirl73]

I'm going to be Aunty Em!

They haven't got a name picked out yet. They keep going back and forth between Michael and two other names. Their last name begins with a B, so right now they're referring to him in utero as "Bit." That may stick as his nickname. Only problem is I have a tendency to cutsie that up and refer to him as Bitty. Even Witty Bitty. Earlier tonight I extended that to Witty Bitty Pwetty Baby (one of my dogs gave me the idea). Anyway, when I start that, everyone in the family begins to roll their eyes and start retching. So I may only be allowed to call him Baby B or Mr. B when he arrives, no matter what name they arrive at.

That's an amazing talent, Slip! I'll have to tell Dave about that and see if he's a one-drop wonder, too, when he wants to be. My guess would be no. He's not patient enough, for one thing.

Well, guys, I'm going to try sleeping again. I'm having a terrible time with insomnia tonight. Might help if I got off the computer. I have to be at school and ready to think in five hours. Talk to y'all tomorrow!

[Mr. Bubbles]

Hmm... the Walgreens near me seems okay, for what it is.

[sanfrancyan]

Walgreens is the worst chain parmacy as the company is run by idiots and they hire idiots from their managers to pharmacists. Sad because the idiots are ruining what was once a good company.

So, take advantage of them today (9-12-2007) as they are offering free printer cartridge refills today as a promo for their new service, one per household. Take them the more expensive one, the color cartridge, but don't buy anything from them while you are there or else!!!


haha how lame.

[TheDefiler]

Walgreens Blows! Go to Wal-Mart pharmacy! Nothing like getting a scrip filled while u shop around for pointless crap....LOL!

What about us night owls?

[RedLocks]

WALGREENS pisses me off. I Remember one time we went to get Nicotine patches there.. WE saw the store brand and it was a dollar ors o cheaper than the brand name, so we were like hell yeah dollar off get that. Got home turned out it had half the patches in it that the dollar or two more expensive brand name, what a scam..wish we had looked at more than the price..

[Nation_1ne]

I have to say that the people at the cosmetics/perfume counter there have always been very nice to me. That's been the redeeming factor at our Walgreen's.

It's the least they can do when trying to pry your money from your purse.

Wally world is 24/7 here I go their cause the deli is good munchies at 0300.

[Reefer Rogue]

I send my dislike from a land far far away.

[BabySnookums]

i made a huge mistake...i went up to my job to wait for a friend to get off the clock so we could hang out...they're tryin to make me come in and do those damned inkjets...UM....NO!!

[JaggedEdge]

I worked there for 5 months and can safely say, the are the worst company I have ever worked for. The store manager couldn't seem to grasp the concept of part time and when I checked my schedule and saw I was scheduled for a 40 hour week, told him I wasn't doing it because I have school, he asked very snidely, if I wanted to work at all.

I told him yes, 20 hours like I stated on my god damn application. Asshole. More than likely every store will only have 50 of each cartridge on stock.

Another funny thing. Before Katrina, there was hardly any water, flash lights, batteries, charcoal, etc. After Katrina the dumbass ordered an abundance of all of that... I was stuck moving about 75 bags of charcoals and 4 big boxes of flashlights to the highest shelf in the stock room...

Blah.
