I finally switched to an independent one after years of using Walgreens. Walgreens was fine for the most part until I changed names. Then the system could not figure out who the fuck I was and the staff could never successfully merge my accounts. Annoying but whatever. What made me switch was Walgreens having the policy of not filling misoprostol and mifepristone in states where abortion is restricted. It is not illegal to give those drugs in those states but Walgreens decided it was best to not fill those drugs in those states.
wait what? A pharmacy in the US is allowed to deny you prescribed medicine based on some arbitrary state level rules that do not affect the prescription medicine itself?

Generally in the US, anyone can refuse a service for any reason unless it’s expressly prohibited, like race.
