part 5: after a bit of work I was able to transfer my perscription to a Walmart in another town. I know if I stayed with @Walgreens I would continue to have late meds, get excuses, and have my health decline. I knew id continue to go to the ER [high risk during covid] due to this
part 4: they are still messing up! they deleted my other perscription thinking it was a duplicate [it wasnt] and now 9 days after my original order & blaming everything on the supplier decided to change supplies and say it will come Monday. its a bit late now isnt it?
part 3: update on my @Walgreens problem a med that I need daily to stay out of the hospital has been ordered every day since last Friday. they told us theyd call with news & never did multiple times. never accepted responsibility either
