Walgreens - Centreville, VA | Dispensaire de cannabis

The SLOWEST DRive thru in Fairfax County . If someone has more than one or two Rx and has to wait for them, please don’t sit at the window, in your car and wait for them . Go inside . Pharmacy staff needs to tell people to come in ! Moving to CVS or Giant .

Had a frustrating experience with this pharmacy when they rather assertively refused to even look to see if they had my medication in stock (this was the 14th pharmacy I have tried) because it was a controlled substance (Adderall). Not a single other pharmacy in the area needed my prescription or any info to check (including 7 other Walgreens locations in the area) and ironically two more Walgreens assisted me when I got off the call with this one.

I understand there are special requirements for controlled substances such as this one- but the reasoning given at the start was because they didn’t want to tell me they had it and have me angry if I got there and they didn’t (so assuming I cannot read my own prescription?) They said they would help
me to check to see if they had it if I would come in with my prescription (it seems small-but what if I had to do this with the other 14 pharmacies I called… and without my medication lol!)

Later the reason given was fear of theft/the employees safety which while I understand to some extent, it felt pretty stigmatizing and unnecessary to say…especially when we are in the middle of a period where medication shortages happen often. I’m sure they are fine for regular prescriptions, but if you’re looking for a prescription that has a shortage or often is out I would not recommend this Walgreens in particular.
