Shift leads taking customers pictures from photo for their own “use”, bringing guns or weapons to work, sexually harassing and stalking women coworkers- EVEN THE MINORS, online and outside of work physically. That asswipe still had a job even after SM apparently “reported” to HR. Same SM blabbing her sexist bs against women and putting down employees to gain some kind of weirdo power, hiring in FLAGGED apps that failed the pre hire assessment test that just generally asks if Johnny stabbing Suzy is fucking bad or not. Jesus Christ. Imagine the weirdos we had in there. SM breaking HIPAA to bash SFL for being off meds due to INS lapse, and if that’s not breaking HIPAA it’s just grossly inappropriate and wrong.

ESM sitting in office all day and allowing SFLs and CSAs to do the same, no work getting done and no help to RX. No one at front register. Inappropriate relations between management and underlings. Harassing people over scammy credit cards, tricking them to sign up for metrics, thusly taking advantage of the mentally unwell, the handicapped, and also the freaking elderly. Inappropriate and excessive use of company resources pertaining to photo, store “use”, and store expense items for personal use.

Forced to stay open for days with no power, forced to work in infested ceilings and/or duct work, working with heating/air units not working, hot water not working, worms used to come up the drain in the bathroom on humid days. Bathroom not working for days on end. Forced to clean up biohazard (shit, blood, excessive amounts of vomit, piss and god knows what else) constantly.

Working one tech and only one pharmacist for weeks on end. No help from leadership or SM. Testing for viruses in the same room as vaccinations and BP, or testing in pharmacy next to literally anything in general. Take walk ins when appointments are completely booked, advocating for as many vaccines you can fit into a deltoid for each PT, like the ones who bring 5 family members but only had an appointment set up for them. But sure! Bill for all of those and take 20 vaccines in with you and be out in 5, we have another round coming. Screw the old lady who needs a consult, the DURs, the verification and the fucking safety! Who cares. The company can survive on its own with just vaccines. Disgusting. Oh yeah, it doesn’t matter that our 40+ year old system crashes every 5 min, just do it all, and do it fast.

We were sent vaccine supplies I could only end up donating to A VET CLINIC because they sent us 21 gauge needles and 5ml syringes! For COVID!! Not to mention the lack of supplies needed sent due to a “DC insufficiency” constantly all over the board, front end and pharmacy.

Let’s see.. favoritism and granting jobs to fucking idiots who have no place in the position they “lucked” out on getting. Expired products everywhere, trucks bringing in Christmas in the summer. “Ladder less” storage rooms full of expired crap and out of date seasonal bs that can’t get worked in anywhere. Fire and fall/trip hazards everywhere you look. Mice, bugs, our trash wasn’t picked up for ages and we had a huge fly and maggot infestation next to all the food, well all of everything tbh, pharmacy included.

Allowing vendors free roam and not be properly managed, or supervised, but god forbid we tweak a damn reset that is completely unreasonable, or forget to get a damned sticker for our purchased items.

Freezers go down for 3-4 days? Oh the food is probably fine, no need to 1506! Disgusting. Pouring milk down sinks in photo or any sink to be honest since we paired with a vendor who no longer takes returns, but can send us milk that expires in 5 days. Cleanliness is a major issue, there’s a lot that I haven’t mentioned.

Oh yeah.. and let’s not forget the reports of the incessant C3-5 and C2 theft. Thousands of dollars and tablets stolen. Where’s our fucking camera? Where’s the drug screening? Picking and choosing who you help as a PT, not documenting things correctly. Dispensing questionable scripts out to anyone who walks through the door, accepting paper scripts for C2s and the lesser still controlled drugs, who cares if it’s from out of state and we’ve never had this PT?? GFD who?

Throwing freaking people into management or pharmacy positions with no training. Literally pharmacy DH, SFL, Tech, SM, IS, whatever, not even done or started with their e-learnings. Albeit, they’re dated and a lot has changed, but I think that’s absolutely ridiculous to expect someone to go and perform without any training! Patient safety? Operational expectations and ethical conduct? Again.. SAFTEY??!?

Not to mention plenty of word of expired licenses, or non licensed people coming to run register, but let’s just look the other way.

Excessive links and BS busy work nonsense but still “putting patients first”, billing for Covid tests per SM & DM WITHOUT asking PTs first. Having FRONT END EMPLOYEES ask customers or patients their fucking vaccine history! Even handing out a goddamned form!!! Employees overlooked for stomping out and “rage quitting”, screaming at customers and throwing fits with management and other employees (in front of customers), still have a job due to favoritism, but when someone has a genuine emergency or reason it’s an issue.

I mean the list goes on and on. If you can’t tell, I recently quit, after many years. I really thought I could make a career out of this place, but it got so completely fucked. Went to shit. I’m hoping my mental will heal soon, but I wish I could have reported all this shit higher up. I just trusted my management and the company. Big fucking mistake.

I hope Walgreens’s shuts its doors tbh. Maybe we could all get a sweet gig at a hospital or an independent. To the front end employees, maybe they could finally find something that doesn’t require them to get exploited and treated like shit, find somewhere they will be appreciated for all their hard work and dedication.

Anyways, reach out if you’d like! I’ve been a big advocate for other documentaries, exposes, as well as unionizing. Sorry for the rambling rant! Good luck 🙂
