I guess May's etc will be heading down the tube now too.

Yep, I believe they're in that same conglomerate.

Friend of mine pointed out that maybe this is paper transaction and hopefully they won't tinker with the stores.  But who knows.

Hope their prices don't go up and they don't start taking longer then 15 mins to get people in and out of the pharmacy.
Thank you,

I never had a huge problem with Walgreens until they would call me and tell me my prescription was ready only for me to find out it wasn't when I got there and having to wait 45 minutes.

One time of that happening I considered a fluke.  Three times in a row made me change pharmacies.  The last time I actually asked them to verify that the bag had the bottle in it before I drove to the store.  Switched to DW.  Never waited more than 20 minutes on a first-time prescription (some pain meds for a dental procedure I had) and then I go up and get my mothers' prescriptions for her as well and they always have it waiting when I get there when they call me.  I pray that doesn't change.

They headed down that tube when USA drug bought them. Store by my house is relatively new, it's the one they use in their commercials, and I'd rather bleed slowly to death than go in there for a bandaid.

Luckily we have a CVS nearby and have never experienced the problems with it that we have Walgreen's.

What about Med-X? They're a part of USA Drug as well,  right?

I already planned on switching from Med-X to the new Reasor's pharmacy in Sand Springs.

There are pharmacies in Sand Springs now? Wow.  jk. 

I have used most all pharmacies, but I am liking Target right now.
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

FAIK, there's only two MED-X's left aren't there?  Utica Square and King's Pointe.  The rest are Drug Warehouse.  Can't even think when the last time was I saw a May's logo.

May have to give Target a try if this turns into a closure/rebranding.  Anyone tried the midtown location?

Hate the traffic getting in and out and the foot traffic flow once you are inside.  I also hear they are really tough on people who seek meth precursors.  ;)

Honestly, I have no idea if there even is a pharmacy in that Target.  I know there is at Reasor's next door and at Wal-Martz to the south.

Love the Drug Warehouse at 31st & Sheridan and 31st & Harvard. I suspect the 31st & Harvard location isn't long for the wrecking ball since there's a Walgreens right next door to the north.

The ones I go to now are the 11th/Garnett and 31st/Garnett locations (since they're on my way to work right now...sort of).  I know all the pharmacists in the 11th location and they're just as nice as can be and know my name without asking.  Walgreens, on the other hand....

I use Target. Walgreens if I have to, but if it needs compounded I try to use the apothecary shoppe. Not Saffa.
