THE MOST infuriating pharmacy. Just this morning I’ve experienced once again the most incompetent and unprofessional staff. Every other month I call ahead if my prescription is ready for me to pick up on that day, only for them to say that I can’t. Today I called ahead 2 hours in advanced. I listened to the person over the phone ask the pharmacist if I will be able to pick up my prescription in 2 hours like their pharmacy app says. I hear them both say yes, and when I get there they ask me to wait 20 minutes and they’ll have it ready. After 30 minutes, they finally tell me that it’s too early to pick it up and I have to come back in 2 days. They stole my morning away from me that I can be at work earning money. They said to come “in an hour” to pick up my prescription. And I wait around at home so I can even time my commute to get there when it’s ready AFTER I CONFIRM that it’s not too early to pick it up. This happens EVERY TIME. This is exactly why I call in advanced to confirm with them. They told me today over the phone that I can pick my prescription “up a day early”, after they check their calendar while I have them over the phone and with the pharmacist even confirming after he too presumably checks the prescription, which I confirmed over the phone. BUT NO! When I get there, they had me wait 20 minutes sitting around for me to hear from them that it’s 2 days early for me to pick up my medicine. Last time, they had me wait 45 minutes sitting in the pharmacy before telling me this. I call in advance so that I can let my boss know that I’ll be coming in late to work. But this pharmacy staff makes me waste an entire morning EVERY month, EVEN AFTER I wait 20 minutes on the phone to ask and confirm that I can pick up my prescription ON THAT DAY. I’m glad that this pharmacy usually has my prescription, but I’m so sick of this level of incompetence. How can you literally check and confirm my information over the phone for it to magically say something else when I get there?? EVERY TIME??
