(OT) Avoid Shopping at Walgreens
Years ago, Walgreens was a store I'd regularly shop at. But in recent
years their prices seem to have gotten quite a bit higher than their competitors, so I have not been in any of their stores for at least a year. Yesterday I noticed they had Arizona Iced tea cans advertised for Two for $1.00 on their sign. I like that stuff, so I decided to go get some. I grabbed 2 cans off the shelf and found another item I needed, which was priced at $1.69. I went to the checkout, and the clerk asked me if I have a Walgreens card. I said "No", and was paying with cash. The total came to $5.24. I asked how she came up with that amount, while saying that my total should be $2.69 plus tax. I asked how much I was charged for the Iced Tea. She said $0.99 per can. I said "it's advertised two for one dollar". She told me that price is only for people with Walgreens cards. I told her to remove them from my sale. Then I was quoted about $3.50 for that other item, which was priced $1.69 on the shelf. I told her that the price on the shelf is marked $1.69. She told me that price is just for people with Walgreens cards. That's when I got angry, and told her that if my cash is not good enough, then I dont want anything, and I wont shop at Walgreens ever again. I left the store. The bottom line is this. It appears that you MUST have a Walgreens card to shop in their stores now. If you dont have one, they charge you DOUBLE the price listed on the shelf. I just thought I'd share this so others dont get caught in their trap. Actually, I think there is some "False advertising" involved, and in my opinion, what they are doing is illegal. But I dont have any lawyer friends, and I have better things to do with my time. I just wont shop at Walgreens ever again. * And as a followup, I bought that "other item" at Walmart for a better price, than the shelf price was at Walgreens. |
