Target Pharmacy
Reviews
Seriously: shame on me for going here. Following major surgery I elected to use this Target Pharmacy to fill my prescriptions, one of which was a painkiller. When I dropped the prescription off they told me that they did not have it, but would put an order in and I would be able to pick it up the next day. The pain was significant enough that I was at times in tears (and I rarely cry), but I thought that I can just make sure I do as little to worsen it and just deal. Later that day I received a phone call stating that they (for some reason) could not put the order in for two more days and that it would hopefully arrive the following day. Three days pass and I had not received the typical text alerting me to the prescription being available for pick up by the third day, so I called and they said it just didn't show up in the order they placed. I asked for further explanation and they said 1) it was hard to tell because their internet had been down for half the day and 2) they can't (generally) check online if they can fill a prescription, so they just place the order and hope it comes. I was told that they had another place to make the order and that it would arrive sometime the following week. Maybe. I asked for the prescription back and went across the street to Harris Teeter. The pharmacist looked it up and explained that the particular medicine I was requesting was back-ordered all over and that I should try to get something similar. That took about 3 minutes. Target kept me in the dark and was going to continue to keep me in the dark for 10 days. ...And it appears to be happening again for a different prescription that I tried to fill there. I'm about to go call them to see if I can just pick up the prescription and bring it to a different pharmacy. Still, I can't be upset with them about this. Shame on me for going back. While my situation felt serious, it was just painkillers and not, say, a life- or health-preserving medication. These are just two experiences I've had (out of ~5), but it's kind of one of those things where shoddy work can have catastrophic results and when I consider the 10/10 experiences I've had with other places around here (Giant, Harris Teeter), Target really earns its 1 star.
