I went into the Walgreens with one prescription and the technician said she would see if they could expedite it a little quicker for me. I did not leave anyone's sight for over a full hour and a half. I continually made eye contact with all 4 staff members that were there. They were not busy inside or at the drive thru and it was between 3-4:30 pm that I was pacing, sitting and standing directly in front of the pharmacy counter. Since both technicians kept making eye contact and I never walked away, I felt confident that they were doing the best they could be although I kept seeing them bringing bags of filled prescriptions over and sorting through them. I finally gave in and approached the counter feeling uncomfortable only to be treated quite rudely and as if I was bothering her as she just stood in the same place as she had been the whole time I was there while the tech that helped me was doing all the back and forth and drive thru responsibilities. I was trying to get the attention of that technician that had received me, but she was not much for wanting to approach me, and to this day I still am just baffled at the treatment I received. So the other technician finally asked what "I needed", and I was astonished she did not know; but I explained that I had been waiting over an hour and a half for a prescription. Astonishly, both technicians acted absolutely aloof and not once did they apologize or even for one second show any embarrassment for dropping the ball as the one technician looked in several places and came to me with my prescription. They seemed absolutely clueless and I hate to sound judgy , but the one was - and still is every time I go to Walgreens, extremely arrogant and downright cold. Even after all of this, I still was polite although my body language and baffled facial expressions surely let them see that I was very unhappy and confused by this whole experience. All 4 staff members, including the pharmacist, were aware of me waiting at not one of them engaged with me the whole time. Since I have had another uncomfortable visit to the drive thru with the arrogant technician who acts like I am bothering her; I have made the decision to change my loyalty to a local pharmacy. I have been with Walgreens my whole life. I still to this day cannot fathom how this girl can be so cold and unfriendly. I have never been made to feel like I am annoying somebody for coming to pick up my prescription. The non-apologetic smug treatment from their major blunder combined with a simple drive thru pick-up that upset me will most likely resonate for some time as I have never in my lifetime been treated in this manner. Never.

I purchased online and picked up inside the store. The process is fast and and efficient. I walked in gave them my name, she went to an area not even 10ft away picked my purchase scanned the receipt on the bag, handed it to me. The whole thing took less than 3 minutes. Very efficient!!

We shopped at the Walgreens in Blairsville, GA during a visit in early August. The store was well stocked allowing us to pick up a few snacks for our hotel room. The staff were amazingly friendly and warm providing both useful information about the area and a pleasant shopping experience. This will be one of our go-to stores when visiting the Blairsville area.

Went into this store to pick a few items and upon checkout, the woman was very rude, unfriendly and demanding!!!! Very low stock, short hours and dirty store!! Had to take back one of the items and you would have thought I was a criminal for doing so! Again, rude store clerk!!!!!!!

Went in to ask Pharmacist about a decongestant for persons with certain arrhythmia's. Needed something to dry sinus and post nasal drip. Recommended Sudafed D. That is so wrong! Obviously, the pharmacist didn't know, wasn't paying attention, I could care less, whether or not, he okayed a medication that could cause A-Fib! When call back to question this suggestion, he was argumentative and rude.We are done with Walgreens! Should've gone to CVS to begin with. The more I find people like this working in positions that could have a negative affect on peoples health the more I realize we have become a Third World country. Walgreen, a Third World business!When you hire incompetent you jeopardize life!

I am here in Blairsville on vacation about 4 times a year. I needed a rare antibiotic ordered and Walgreens was excellent and FAST!

Every time I come here, the pharmacist is the rudest person. If the lady does not like her job, she needs to quit. Now I understand why everybody changes their pharmacy to Ingles in Blairsville. I was told that's her personality. So if somebody being rude is something that Walgreens allows? The manager was already aware of her sour attitude. I guess as long as they know about it, they don't have to change it? Ingles here I come.I think I would rather die than get one more prescription from this establishment .

Normally I don’t come to Walgreens but sadly cvs wasn’t open so we had to go here. I have a service dog and we were fixing to leave when some lady came up to us and said “ cute puppy and all but you can’t have him in here unless he’s a service animal or support animal ” I told her that he is a service dog but she went on to tell me that he has to have a tag that specifies that he’s a service dog but that’s not true. As long as I have the id card and everything I don’t need anything on him that specifies that he’s a service dog. I’ve never had any issues with any other store about my service animals. Walmart, cvs, dollar general, etc. they all love my service animals and never asked a thing or told me I couldn’t have them in the store.

I called to see if my prescription was ready for my son before I left the house. He has been throwing up since 3am and they told me it wouldn’t be ready until after 4pm. Unacceptable. Had prescription called to a new pharmacy.

Unfortunately "0" or "-" is not an option on this comment site.This store is BAAAAAAAD news!!!!The answering machine, phone mail doesn't work (can't leave messages). The pharmacy is "knocked out", can't get prescriptions in or out of the system. They don't know when it will be fixed. This with the need of prescription meds. and the weekend coming up. Do not rely on this place for your required meds.Calls to the store phone number were routed to a "call center" where you cannot understand the call center person. After several requests, another phone number was given...for a store 30 miles away. This saga could go on forever. Suggest that you change your prescriptions to a reliable source.The prescription department continues to be closed after 3 days with no end in sight. Walgreens Corp. seems to have no urgency in getting medications to patients who require them. Will be changing to CVS Monday A.M., as this is now the weekend.These are a real bunch of inept clowns that seem to reflect corporate philosophy.

I would give 0 stars if I could. We moved to Blairsville 1 1/2 yrs ago and have used the local Walgreens pharmacy a few times. Every experience has been terrible. The "pharmacy tech" an older woman has no customer service skills and makes no effort to help customers. This last episode involved a prescription the automatic phone service called and said there was an insurance problem. When we went in to get the prescription we were told they were out of stock. Didn't say they would try to get it or when. I called to Blue Ridge Walgreens and they had it in stock and was ready when we arrived. Good thing this wasn't a medication that was critical, would be dead. We used another Walgreens pharmacy for over 30 years and never had any problems. We will be looking for another local pharmacy!

It's rare that you get to see a triple play happen but here it is: Rudeness, incompetence, and price gouging all in one transaction. Way to geo Walgreens!I was visiting and needed a weeks worth of two prescriptions. Both cheap, generic, common drugs. I had no dealing with any other pharmacy up here and I had seen Walgreens, so I picked them. My Dr office called it in and the nurse told me she asked specifically if they had them in stock. They said they did. They lied.I drove into pick them up and after having the rudest clerk handle my transaction, she didn't say a word about not filling one of the drugs. After opening the bag, I had to ask her. She then told me they were out of stock.I had make another 1 hour trip the next day after it had come in. Again rude beyond belief having to shout through a poorly designed, falling down plexiglass shield. No apology, no nothing.After having lied to my Dr's office and been exceptionally rude, they had the nerve to charge over $3.00 a pill, for a generic drug that is basically given away with most insurance plans.This was inexcusable. I would not consider buying a bandaid from them.
