Original Comment Friendly Neighborhood Drug Store ? I Think Not !!<br /> A few years ago, I entered the Walgreen's on 1st and Tangerine to purchase Prilosec. To my amazement, it necessitated me locating a clerk to unlock the precious commodity. According to staff, it had a high potential for theft. I inquired at the time why they didn't place it behind the cash register, negating the hassle of waiting for staff to initiate the lock and key escapade. Yet another sign of the times, I thought, and accepted their policy.<br /> This past Sunday, the 16th, however, I found that Walgreen's &quot;new policy&quot; had taken their Prilosec security measures to a whole new level. After finding staff and waiting for them to unlock the 'over-the-counter' medication, I was told staff would hold on to the Prilosec and I was to inform them when I completed my shopping, at which time they would bring it to the register for me to purchase.<br /> Congratulations Walgreen's ! At 55 years old, I was well on my way to leaving this world having never experienced being treated as though I was untrustworthy. Perhaps not the most egregious act, but to those of us who live our lives making certain to give respect to all we meet, it comes pretty darn close. Is the potential threat of losing a few dollars really worth insulting the entire community?
