This totally sucks! Walgreens pharmacy is slow and uncaring. They cannot take care of the customers they have now. How are they going to take on more customers? This will never work for them. They will just end up sending more people to Walmart and Kroger (which isn't much better. Big mistake, they should have left them alone and enjoyed the benefit of the additional income!

in 2001 I started off with walgreens but due to the high prices on meds a month later switched to walmart.Then because walmarts wait time was unreal,I did some calling around and found USA drug which was far more affordable and less wait time.I have been with them since 2001

Usually when this many stores close, you can blame the economy. This time you can blame Walgreens. They are simply taking out the competition. Why else would they buy all of the stores and close half of them. I use to use them frequently, but I switched to Wal Mart. They are cheaper and the Cabot Wal Mart is actually one of the fastet to get a prescription filled. Plus, they have two female pharmacists that are well worth looking at. One is kind of clumsy, always dropping things, but when she bends over she shows tons of cleavage. LOL.

chelley...me too. Went to Walgreens and BACK TO USA 2 times, if not 3...they have new improved ones everywhere. This is Walgreens cutting the competition out. I don't like WALMART because I have to go in....Both times I left Walgreens it was because of the pharmacy employees.

I have been a USA Drug customer for several years now and they are the only drug store that can get your prescription filled within 15-30 minutes. I tried to go to WalGreens one time and was told it would take 3-4 hours. You would think with WalGreens having more stores they would be faster, maybe they need to get a new system in place. I guess I will be using Walmart or Krogers. I'm so saddened by this and the pharmist are so sweet and know me and my kids by name.
