Thank you Lord! I am very grateful to be able to successfully finish my third rotation at Walgreens pharmacy in Wellington, FL. My preceptor was Dr. Andrew Guvetis, a graduate from Nova Southern University and he has been working with Walgreens for a little over 2 years. During the first day, I noticed that this Walgreens was somewhat different from the others. It was designed like a wellness clinic where the pharmacist can spend some time during the day sitting on a desk right outside the pharmacy check-out counter and be accessible to answer any questions patients may have. It also had a big consultation room with comfy seating, a table including a sink and counter where a pharmacist can prepare immunizations or perform several screening tests. Walgreens offers health tests every day which help determine possible risks for heart disease or are looking for convenient ways to manage diabetes or high blood pressure. Some of the services offered include: cholesterol and blood pressure tests, body composition test and a comprehensive medication review. Test results are provided within minutes and it includes a pharmacist consultation as well.

Walgreens Pharmacy operates in an Oligopoly market structure. The retail pharmacy environment also has the Oligopoly characteristic of significant entry barriers. The barriers are restriction of ownership and restriction of where the business can be established (Walgreens). The ownership barriers are established by the government and state only Pharmacists or an incorporated company that has directors and shareholder members that are registered pharmacists are allowed to open and own a pharmacy. Licensed pharmacists are required to be on duty during the hours of operations.

In 2005, private plaintiffs filed a class action racial discrimination lawsuit against Walgreens, their employer in the case Tucker v. Walgreen Co., Case No. 05-CV-440-GPM. The plaintiffs alleged that Walgreens Co. practiced a national, cultural discrimination against African American employees and managers. Walgreens did this by denying their rights to be selected for entry-level positions of Assistant Manager or Management Trainees, rejecting any promotions for African American employees in the retail or pharmacy career paths, and placing African American employees in predominately African American or lower income stores. The plaintiffs sought to receive declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as compensation and punitive damages. The plaintiffs also pursued class certification for all African American employees nationwide. In the fall of 2006, the plaintiffs filed a second complaint which the defendant moved to dismiss. In winter of 2006, the District Court denied the defendant 's motion to dismiss the complaint.

On the other hand, my son can only get his monthly medication at CVS Pharmacy and whenever I pick his medication up or he does, we are treated like brand new customers, there is no personalization. At CVS, after waiting an extended length of time, the pharmacy technician rarely asks me if I have any questions for the pharmacist and if I do she rushes me out, like I am disturbing the flow of operations. My family describes the pharmacy at CVS as a sterile machine; you are treated like a number not an individual. We have tried different CVS Pharmacies around Lakeland, but we get the same old treatment. Both Walgreens and CVS probably handle customer identification data very similar, but Walgreens emphasizes building positive customer relations

Walgreen’s drugstore was located in Barrett’s Hotel at Cottage Grove and Bowen Ave on Chicago’s Southside. The neighborhood was prospering but Walgreen’s wasn’t. Mr. Walgreen decided to add brighter lights, expand the aisles (since the other pharmacies were dull and cramped), and add variety like pots and pans (unheard of in a drugstore. The quality of Walgreen’s pharmaceutical compounds met the very highest standards of purity and freshness. Efficiency was increased. But the most dramatic change Mr. Walgreen instituted was a lever of service and personal attention unequaled by virtually any other pharmacy in Chicago. And this was exemplified by Walgreen’s famous “Two Minute Drill” (Walgreen, n.d., p. 3).

I visited Walgreens today because I wanted to print out some of my pictures, and also I wanted to buy a digital camera for my mom. I choose Walgreens because it is one of the best company in photos and in the selling of digital cameras. My experience in using interactive tools, and digital displays was very interesting.

So we went ahead and had private conversations with employees to receive the “truth” Some stayed firm; others stated that improvement will be necessary. Although the fact still stands that Walgreens manages diversity systematically, issues such as loyalty, dishonesty, and trust in the workplace still occur and maybe more often than expected.

Working at Walgreens has taught me a lot about people. I do many different jobs like stocking shelves, working at the cash register or cleaning. My favorite part of my job is when I get to talk to customers. I have always been a shy, quiet, awkward kid. It's been hard for me to talk to people, especially strangers. I used to have preset phrases that sounded robotics and mechanical. If someone asked how I was, I would always respond with “I am doing well, how are you?” regardless of how I actually felt. These phrases guaranteed a short “good, thanks.” back and conversations ended abruptly. Once I started working at Walgreens, I began to get better at social interactions. I can now say a quick joke or just listen to people’s problems that

Walgreens has attempted to build satisfaction, value, and loyalty for their customers by remembering that loyal customers are at the heart of their business, and thus rely on a customer-on-top business model. To do this, Walgreens has learned the talent of listening and responding to their customers in the following ways: (1) to respond to the busy lives of their customers, Walgreens allowed them to fill prescriptions at different stores and offered them the drive-thru pharmacy; (2) customers who spoke other languages complained about the labels, and Walgreens responded by printing labels in more than 10 different languages; and (3) when customers with eyesight problems could not read the labels, Walgreens offered printed labels with larger font sizes so that customers could more easily read the bigger text (Berenbaum, n.d., para. 19).
