ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC! They will sell out your medication to other people on a first come first serve basis! I had mine ready for pick up but I came next day. It was gone and the shipment takes about 3 days for INSULIN! How pathetic is that?! Never had this problem with CVS, they held my medication for up to 7 days! This particular Walgreens is just terrible. And it is not the first time it happened here! Always LOW STOCK!

Dominick J's review is 100% correct. Here's my experience from 7/18/23. I've been a customer here for years. Sometimes medications do take a few hours, but it is a busy pharmacy, so I try to be understanding. I've really not had trouble, mostly grab what I need, pay and leave. Now, it looks like I'm joining the one star club. I went here for my monthly medication pick up. Apparently, there's been some changes as to whom they want shopping in this store, which it has been made fairly clear my business is no longer welcome here. Of course, there are no signs outlining this, and it is selectively enforced. I carry a backpack while out doing my errands on foot and cycling. Upon entering, I was stopped by security at the front and this was said to me: " Hey you! You can't be in here like that!" Huh? Like what? Totally bewildered, I explained I needed to get my prescriptions, which are time sensitive. Again, I was told by security I couldn't be in here. I am a short woman. How am I a problem? He told me to take off my backpack, which had some important things in it. There were people in the store with tote bags and large purses. The guard was rude and acted like he was doing me a "favor" and said he would "watch my bag", not quite...If it wasn't prescriptions I really needed, I would have just left and went elsewhere. I had to take a risk I should not have to. I was forced to leave my stuff in a high traffic area where it could have been easily stolen. I even mentioned this to the pharmacist, a nice lady, and her jaw dropped. Of course upon leaving this store, what do I see? My bag not watched and a customer standing too close to it! I managed to grab it and fortunately nothing was taken, but this is going to be a huge liability for the company if someone's stuff does get stolen. If this is how this store treats paying customers, soon they won't have any! I'll be transferring my prescriptions elsewhere, where I'm not treated like a criminal! TRANSFER YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS Y'ALL! SHOP ELSEWHERE, WHERE YOU WILL NOT BE PROFILED! Not sure if corporate will respond, but at least I can save folks some grief. They're free to run their store the way they want, and we're free not to shop there.

Unacceptable Racial Profiling Incident at Walgreens #06032 On July 20, 2023, around 9:29 pm, I had an appalling experience at Walgreens #06032, located at 595 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30308. As a frequent shopper of this store due to its proximity to my home, I visited to purchase some soap and personal items after leaving the gym. Just a quick visit. Upon entering the store, I was confronted by a male officer approximately in his late 50s. From the start, it was evident that he appeared to be under the influence of a substance. Despite the flow of other Walgreens customers entering the location, I was singled out and asked to leave my gym bag on the floor while I shopped, a request that I had never experienced previously under exact circumstances. Neither was it a policy I had ever been asked to observe by a staff member or the officer before. Feeling uneasy about the situation, I informed the officer I did not feel comfortable following his request given I had no knowledge of such a policy or had ever been asked that before. The officer asked a second time. I again said, no, and then proceeded to browse the store, only to find the officer following closely behind me. When I confronted him, he remained silent, and it became clear that I was being racially profiled. This was incredibly distressing and embarrassing, and I immediately requested to speak with a manager. I was then directed to a store manager in another area of the location. That manager, Tyrone, seemed dismissive of my concerns and even suggested escorting me to the aisles where I intended to pick up the items. Feeling insulted and humiliated, I declined the offer, asserting my right to shop without assistance. Despite my extreme discomfort, I managed to complete my purchase, using my Walgreens frequent shopper number. After I completed my purchase, I then proceeded to walk back over to the photo department where Tyrone was located, to request to speak to a different manager. He then referred me to his manager Tarnika to discuss my experience with the guard. After I was connected with Tarnika and expressed my concern, she was visibly disappointed in the situation. She explained she was aware of this type of situation happening previously with this particular officer several times before with other patrons. After the conversation I wanted to make sure I had all the information I needed before leaving the location. I then asked the manager Tarnika if she could spell her name and also provide the officer's name and she informed me that she was not provided the officer's name, which left me no choice but to inquire with him directly. She assured me that she would report the incident to her supervisor and address the matter internally. Before leaving the store I proceeded to ask the officer for his badge number and name for my records and he refused to give it to me and explained he couldn't talk to me any further. Leaving the store I had chills all over. I was out of breath and shaking. I was not only embarrassed in a store that I visit almost every week for essential needs but it was clear that the expectation was that I would not take any action. I refuse to allow this discriminatory profiling incident to go unnoticed. I am committed to raising awareness about this issue and ensuring that it is resolved appropriately. As a result, I will be sharing my experience on all my social media platforms, which have a combined following of nearly 13k on Instagram and 6.5k subscribers on Facebook. Additionally, I will be reaching out to the Atlanta Police Department, with whom I believe the security guard is employed, and Walgreens through phone calls, social media, and corporate communication to demand a thorough investigation into this matter. I stand against racial profiling, and this incident will not be tolerated or left unresolved. It is crucial for companies like Walgreens to take responsibility for the actions of their employees, ensuring a safe and respectful shopping experience for all customers. #StopRacialProfiling #EqualTreatment #St

This store has been closed overnight multiple times in the past two weeks. I would say it is lack of staff but usually 3 people at-least are in here overnight. There was a sign on the door the other day that said CLOSED TILL 7AM but today no sign lights on! Doors locked!

fabulous location, so-so maintenance. Walgreens has a great selection in general--better than CVS, for example. but this specific location needs quite a bit of staff training and updating on how shelves are stocked. very convenient location, but disappointed in other ways (and don't get me started on corporate ownership, ugh).

Kai was extremely rude and unprofessional. After waiting over 20 minutes at the window she came to window complaining that she is the only one working and became very aggressive. She advise me to wait 30 minutes for my prescription to filled. I came on the inside to speak with the store manager to voice my experience and she told me after waiting they don't have the medicine. As a gay man, it felt very belittling and discriminatory.

Absolute WORST pharmacy. Long wait at ALL times. Every time I try to refill a Rx there's some kind of problem or the request is lost. Gave me the wrong (dosage) pills once!!! Don't go here. Infuriatingly bad service.

Following all COVID-19 safety and health protocols. The associate checked my pictures and resized them on her own. They were cut off at the top, and the associate caught it to save me another trip. Store is clean and associates are nice and helpful. Quick, in and out.
