Their unethical and unnecessary practice of turning away and denying COVID-19 vaccine to undocumented immigrant families. This type of practice is a harmful and harsh measure that endangers Kentucky’s families. As an immigrant who had to leave her home country as a child to escape a multitude of hardships such as oppressive regime, violence, political and economic instability, and countless other reasons, I identify myself with those families wagering their lives in the search of a better life for themselves and their families. My aunt and uncle (older than 55yeard old) whose names I'm not releasing to protect their privacy, waited months to secure an appointment at Walgreens vaccination site, only to be told by a pharmacist named Amanda that vaccines are exclusive for American citizens and legal residents of this country. My family had their home country passports with them, which is a legal document accepted worldwide. Walgreen's policy is more than unethical and ineffective, it’s inhumane. The aggressive enforcement of such policy would create more barriers for immigrants and their families to seek for help and support in this dangerous pandemic. The impact of this policy can also be particularly devastating on the overall health of our immigrant citizens, causing them trauma and fear. This policy violates human rights, everyone has the right to a standard of living, and to be treated with respect and dignity. In Kentucky, We must work together to support the right of residence and treat undocumented individuals with the same respect and dignity that all human...
Read moreNot only did my Walgreens experience online fail which caused me to go to the 34th St location but my experience only got worse. Upon entering the doors I asked the clerk where her baskets were, she replied that they have all been stolen. I walked around the store in search of something to pack things in so that I could shop semi effectively. I found a box from where a clerk had been stocking. As I approached the cash register to pay for my items I asked some questions regarding my purchase and you have thought I asked the clerk "Patricia" to take a test. She was extremely annoyed by my question regarding my items and her response was totally rude. I had money to spend and needed more things but because I couldn't shop effectively and surely didn't want to ask for further help...I decided I'll take my money elsewhere next time I hope to get better service or I'll go to CVS. Smh is this what I get for pouring in to...
Read moreI go to this Walgreens to get cash back using my cash app card instead of my own card for certain reasons. Walgreens specifically... Never had an issue until the other day. I always get multiple cash backs at a time. Most the time 2. For some reason I was scolded by the cashier because apparently that isn't allowed. Only one is allowed actually. I would have NO issues with that.if i didn't do that all the time. Really i wouldn't care. However, getting scolded and mocked saying i should use the ATM with a rude attitude..... Ya Ill just stop a kroger or somewhere their employees have respect...... To be honest I'm half way believing she did that for the simple fact i am a different race because Louisville is becoming ill with all the hate being blasted everywhere. Never...
