  I had a serious infection in my foot and was on crutches when I came in to Walgreens obviously in a great deal of pain. I informed the pharmacist that although I had been prescribed an antibiotic and a pain killer, I no longer needed the antibiotic because they ended up giving me subcutaneous antibiotics and forgot to cross out the oral antibiotic on the prescription. Hardly an indicator of drug abuse. It’s not like the prescription was from Las Vegas, it was from the MedCenter on State street! After explaining how I only needed the pain killer, he then lied to me and very rudely stated “I’m not giving you the pain killer without the antibiotic, it’s the law”. Well actually no, it’s not the law, nor does it make sense. I knew immediately he was lying, his assistant even had a surprised look on her face. I no longer needed the oral medication because it was injected into my butt cheek at the clinic so I only needed the pain killer at that point. He couldn’t comprehend this and treated the whole situation with total suspicion and rudeness and said he was too busy to call the MedCenter for clarification. I then had to hobble my a$$ to CVS where they immediately filled the one prescription for the pain killer, were very friendly, understanding and told me it is not against the law to dispense a pain killer without an antibiotic. I just don’t get it. Is it laziness? A loathing of customer service? I will never return to Walgreens. It was an embarrassing, stressful and painful experience.
