I was totally expecting some lame back and forth about what to do if my prescription didn't get filled on time, but Duane Reade, you surpassed my wildest expectations.
I thank you, Duane. Truly, you are beautiful.

Yeah, but did they pledge to pick up the phone? Looks like the joke's on us. *sigh*
better question:
what message did you leave for them?
I snorted my diet dr. p across the desk, so no message...
Calling again today to see if anyone's showed up for work.
PS: They just announced doctors on call at Duane Reade. Anyone care for a field trip?
Okay, laugh now. It will be much worse when they answer ...
I have given up on the DR on Broadway and 231 St., in the Bronx. They never have any prescription I give them ready within 24 hours. I find the one on 76th and Broadway reliable, they check on medicine availability when you come in and have your prescription filled when they promise, usually within 20 minutes.
I too called that number hoping to speak with a pharmacy customer service specialist about lax record-keeping on prescriptions in a DR Upper West Side store. I was just a little disappointed to get only the spiel about the Dollar Rewards program. Who dreamed up this brilliant ad campaign? And what's the deal with DR so often being out of stock on basics (my fave dental floss, for example) that you sort of expect they would have in store? They can't be bothered to keep this stuff in stock?
of course the person in the ad is smiling she's not a real pharmacist. Who would smile after being abused by the nuts that come to get their meds.
She actually is a real pharmacist. I think you can find her in the Diabetes Center at the new Duane Reade at Lincoln Square.
The 2 Duane Reades in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn have been a nightmare to deal with. I moved back from Jersey last month and thought I would do well to have my prescriptions transfered to a large store like duane reade for the "ease of use, convenience" etc, I never had a problem with CVS or my smaller pharmacy in Jersey, and since day one there has been nothing but incompetence, and at one store the pharmacist has even been downright rude on more than one occasion. Using the online system doesnt work at all! Is there a phone number to make complaints?
Thank you for providing such valuable information and thanks for sharing this Business Promotion technique.
