Walgreens: Super pharmacy service!

Today I went to Walgreens not only to pick up the great deals, but also to take care of a pharmacy-related matter, and the customer service at the pharmacy was great!

I had picked up a prescription two weeks ago for which we had a manufacturer's prescription card, giving us a lower price than what our insurance would charge.  The pharmacist was having trouble logging into the manufacturer's computer system so that I could get the discount.  I ended up having to pay the insurance price.  Later on that day, the pharmacist called my house and said that he had gotten the system working, and that I should come back to get a refund for the price difference between the insurance price and the prescription card price.

Well, life got in the way, and I didn't end up getting back until today.  Unfortunately, the transaction was no longer in the Walgreens computers.

I was ready to hear that I had returned too late and nothing could be done, but the pharmacist worked his magic and after a few minutes was able to get my refund back to me.  Yay!

Here's what I got on the shopping part of the trip:
