You know if you drop a prescription off or pick up a prescription go thru the drive thru, you want have to wait 15 or 20 mins. inside. You know they won't let you wait outside because they would have people really P.O'd. Outside the longest I've ever waited has been 5 mins. & that's when I was the 4th car in line. Just my suggestion!

I really appreciate the service you get at Publix and in some cases, i found their pricing better than the other big chains. They really emphasize fast, friendly service. They're always available to answer any questions you have regarding medications.

I switched from CVS to Publix Pharmacy after finding that Publix is a preferred pharmacy on my prescription drug plan, and I am very happy with the Publix pharmacy. I would probably have switched anyway, as I was tired of the long lines and wait time at CVS.
I went to Walgreens once and could hardly find the pharmacy ... it gave me the impression of being more like a junk store that decided to add a pharmacy back in the far corner.

I use Publix at Colony and Mr 07 uses Walgreens at Colony. He always has long waits and screw ups (his meds are more complicated). I have had nothing but fast, efficient service at Publix. I generally go early or late in the day to avoid mid day peak crowds.

We use Walgreen at 441 and Rolling Acre. Wonderful pharmacists. And if you travel to different parts of the country you can usually find a Walgreen, not so with Publix.
Never wait at Walgreen, order refill online, get a text when it's ready, drive thru, pick it up. Easy to get refills when in different part of country.

When we moved here 8 yrs ago we got our RX's (all of them) from Walgreens at Colony. The waits back then were minimal and the clerks even knew me by name when I came. It's changed now...WAYYYY busy and a wait-line most times. Our ins. changed and we have TVH so now we get our meds shipped to us from OptumRX and it's pretty seamless. I get a reminder both online and via phone-calls when I need to refill again. Only time I'd go to Walgreen's is "IF" I needed the item that day!! I guess you have to do your 'home-work' and decide what's best for you. I didn't know about the mailing feature that Walgreens has...that is something to consider.

Walgreens pharmacy at Pinnelas Plaza is the best retail pharmacy I have ever used. The pharmacists and staff are awesome! For example, their customer service is exhibited by their willingness to patiently answer questions, do research on medications and possible side affects, and make phone calls to Medicare and other insurances to secure the best price for medications. I have been and continue to be very satisfied with this pharmacy and most often find only to one to three people in line when I have used their services. Their knowledge and courtesy makes standing in line worth it to me.
