  I used to use this Walmart Pharmacy at Greengate but the service was inconsistent and they seem to sometimes make their own rules and policies. Recently a prescription for a controlled item was given, the same that was used for the last 10 years at the same Walmart Pharmacy. The prescription was legal and valid, but Walmart refused to fill it because it didn't have the quantity written out in script...it had the quantity listed but it wasn't spelled out. I was told that they will not fill a prescription without the quantity written out in English. I asked if this was a new law, but they said it was just their new policy, and the Dr would need to be called to verify it. I not only felt like a criminal but it was a Friday and the Dr wouldn't be in until the following Tuesday, leaving me without the medication for several days. Since this was not a medication that can be stopped abruptly without serious medical consequences, the prescription was returned to me to allow me to fill it elsewhere, but the pharmacist had put stickers and written on it, causing a great deal of problems at the other pharmacies where I tried to fill it at. I have had several other errors, such as incorrect quantities in some prescriptions as well as some prescriptions not being filled because the pharmacist didn't think I would want them, requiring another trip back to the pharmacy to pick them up because, Yes, I DID want them. The service before was better in my opinion and the last few times I went there I simply didn't care for the attitude of some of the pharmacists (other were great, but a few were ignorant and condescending) as well as the cashier, who refused to acknowledge a "Thank You" and other gruff behavior despite going out of my way to be nice to her. Unfortunately, the days of the caring and old school pharmacists are over and now everything is a big box store with the customers being unwilling pawns. For these reasons, I will not use Walmart and will try to avoid patronizing them and will instead shop where my business is appreciated when possible
