Original Comment I am finally tired of it. My insurance is through my wife's company and they use CVS. So my wife and daughter use CVS but, no, I have been extremely loyal to Walgreens for at least the past 13 years. I normally use the Walgreens in Royal Palm Beach, Florida 33411 in the Publix shopping center. I have had 12 surgeries in the past decade. As such I have been on many meds including my current painkillers, Avinza and percocet. I am very loyal to this store and your Pharmacy manager (Larry) is outstanding, but the rest of pharmacists are suspect-in my opinion. I am separated from wife, so I live closer to work and I get my normal meds from those locally, but for avinza I still get from RPB store because of Walgreens paranoia of FDA. I went in last night to drop off my script and for the first time in 13!!!!!! years I was told I needed a drivers license to drop it off. I thought the woman was kidding. I am partially handicapped so for me to go back out to the far end of parking lot to get ID was in itself enraging. I have never, never, ever been asked to provide picture ID when dropping a script off in 13 years-so tell me-when did this policy change and if you tell me it has been in existence for awhile then one of two things is happening-either I am being discriminated against for being older and medicated, or the pharmacy staff is improperly trained and lack a common focus. Since I get meds every month, why all of a sudden am I asked last night? I also complained back in august about service in walgreen's in lantana and when pharmacist there wouldn't fill a drug, I changed to another location that would. By the way, that extra strength medicine he didn't prescribe-I ended up in JFK Hospital with pnemonia and this is verifiable. So, I am only one customer, but my insurance and I put out 12-14 thousand a year just for my meds and I am so tired of the inconsistencies. You have a store on every other corner-why don't you have a decent trainer to imbue each staff with consistency. Alright enough of my opinions. I have 4 different walgreens that I have used because of work and homes, but I am so tired of the shoddy treatment. I am not a felon, a crack head. I work for a living and I am so tired of being treated like crap because I need a lot of meds. The discrimination of me and my medical needs are a very sore point with me, after all, you are a pharmacy-so why do you continue to exacerbate the situation by making it harder for those of us with true ailments to get meds effortlessly instead of making look like you are doing us a favor. While I was there last night, I went out to car and went back inside and a woman came up to window at same time so I let her go first, and she wasn't "carded". CVS might not be the answer, but obviously I have worn out my welcome with your group. morgan white
