It's true, I find it VERY nice to go to the same little pharmacy all the time where they know my name...it's not exactly a mom-and-pop place, but it's a small pharmacy in an older neighborhood grocery store where I deal with the same people every time.
Sorry to say I used to have no end of trouble at Walgreens...they weren't incompetent, but I guess out of necessity they were very strict and sometimes, I thought, almost overly suspicious.
I remember trying to refill a prescription a little early because I was going on vacation...you would think I'd walked in there and asked for morphine. Everything was a very big deal.So it's nice to find a place where they aren't so impersonal. Even though the pharmacy I go to now isn't quite so convenient in some ways - they aren't open on Sundays or late nights, and of course there's no drive-through window - I much prefer it to Walgreens. They're friendly and helpful and don't mind cutting me a little slack
now and then...such as, if they haven't been able to get hold of a live person at my doctor's office to okay a refill, they'll give me a couple of days worth of pills if I'm out. I really appreciate their kindness.
