Walgreens — Local services in North Arlington

I had been filling my prescription at the CVS and always encountered lines when picking up - and I mean LONG lines. Also, the cars racing through the parking lot (motorists taking short-cuts) was always unpleasant to encounter. Lastly, the Pharmacy staff was not available at the posted morning opening time. So, I decided to move my prescription to Wallgreens - AND NEVER LOOKED BACK!

I think the Pharmacy staff is top-notch! As example, a family member has to give himself injections, and suddenly the syringes prescribed looked a LOT different. At CVS they got all defensive, showing they filled the prescription as written, not even listening to the issue.....why did they look so different? Before calling the physician......

...we strolled down to Walgreens and the pharmacist on duty immediately explained the syringe was from the same vendor, but a new design, and in her opinion, an improved design. She even demonstrated why! He moved HIS prescriptions over Walgreens too.

I went to Walgreens in Ridge Rd North Arlington NJ Sunday 12/4/22 around 1:30 pm for flu vaccine. The male pharmacist on duty does not know how to give a shot. First of all , he opened the sharp container after putting on his gloves( he just contaminated his gloved hands). He cleaned the area (left arm)but he did not pull the skin tight around the injection area before administering the shot. He inserted the needle and less than halfway of the injection, he withdrew the needle and told me he has to reinsert the needle again cause I was moving.

My husband was looking at me while the injection was being administered and he did not noticed me moving at all. This pharmacist should not be giving injections. I told him I don’t want to be poked again. And I told him that I’m a nurse for 40 years and I know the proper technique in giving...

Rude and misleading on purpose! My Carlstadt Walgreens was out of the medicine I called North Arlington branch today 11/14 a woman answered I told her my carlstadt Walgreens is out and can see if you have the inhaler in stock, she rudely said well how would I know what it’s called, I replied can’t you look it up ?? She looked and said nope we don’t have that I said can you check what location has it, she replied yes, then said Belleville location on Washington Ave has a large amount do you want their number I said yes please. I call the number she provides and tell them to fill it there. We head to Belleville tonight, they have no idea what’s going on they said they don’t have it….they checked and Lodi Walgreens had it and had to fill it there, she purposely gave me the wrong #. I spent two hours back and fourth in traffic and waiting for an inhaler that’s important! If you don’t like your job don’t take it out on customers go to a farm and...
