First Walgreens allows its "pharmacists" to deny women their birth control pills. Now this. It turns my stomach to think of what it will pull next.

I have nothing but trouble with Walgreens on all my prescriptions. Put all 16 of them in at the same time but gotta make like 4 trips before I collect them all. I argue with them, my doctor calls and emails them and she repeatedly faxes prescriptions they claim they never got (from her or me). I know rite aid is a bad pharmacy all the way around. Now I have to start a search for another pharmacy with low prices cause I am burned out on this one. Filed complaints with head office and it was a joke. They really don't care about you, just your money. And I didn't know they deny birth control. That alone would make me seek another pharmacy
