I WAS AT WALGREENS LAST NIGHT 9:59 PM. THE STORE IS SO HOT. I HAVE COMPLAINED AND WRITTEN AND ASK WHY DOES CORPORATE OPERATOR THE TEMPERATURE WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN THE STATE. OF COURSE THAT IS NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE ASK MANAGEMENT TO CONTACT AND LET THEM NO IT IS OVER 75 DEGREES IN THE CITY AND THE HEAT IS BLOWING. CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN SO MUCH AND I WONDER IF THIS ASHEVILLE HWY STORE WAS LOCATED IN A BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I THINK IT WOULD. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE TELL ME THAT THE WALGREENS STORES IN OTHER AREAS ARE LOW IN THEFT AND THE STORE IS VERY GOOD TO WORK IN. LAST NIGHT THERE WERE TWO FEMALE EMPLOYEES WORKING AND A THEFT IN PROGRESS WITH A VERY LARGE MAN. BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. HE GRABBED THE ONE BAG AND RAN OUT AND THEN TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK IN THE STORE TO GRAB THE CARTON OF CIGARETTES FROM THE REGISTER OPERATOR. THE OTHER FEMALE WAS STANDING AT THE DOOR READY TO CLOSE IT. SHE DID NOT TRY AND STOP IT BECAUSE THE MAN IS VERY LARGE. HE COULD HAVE HURT THE TWO FEMALE EMPLOYEES. THE THEFT IS SO BAD THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE SAID THAT THE SAYING IS " IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FOR FREE YOU CAN WALK IN WALGREENS AND JUST TAKE IT". I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS THAT BAD. THERE IS NO SECURITY OR ANYONE ABLE TO STOP THIS. THERE ARE OLDER PEOPLE WORKING AND THE CUT BACKS ARE SO BAD THAT EMPLOYEE'S DON'T GET BREAKS OR LUNCH SOMETIMES. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IS ILLEGAL BUT THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, THE CITY OF KNOXVILLE CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT. POOR POVERTY, LOW INCOME AND FULL OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE A FEMALE WAS BEING STALKED AND CALLED ON THE PHONE. I TO GET THE CRIMINAL PHONE CALLS THAT WILL PUT YOU RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HORROR " WHEN A STRANGER CALLS" (1979).

OVER THE HOLIDAYS THE STORE IS OPEN UNTIL MID-NIGHT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT WHEN I SAW WHAT WAS COMING IN THE STORE. LAST YEAR THERE WAS ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HIGH, DRUNK OR JUST WANTED THAT SOMETHING FOR FREE. THERE WAS ONE FEMALE LEFT OUT INT HE STORE BY HERSELF. THE MANAGER WAS INT THE OFFICE. THE FEMALE WAS SO SCARED THAT SHE WOULD HIDE BEHIND THE COUNTER BECAUSE SHE SAW WHAT WAS COMING IN THE STORE AND SHE KNEW THAT THE PERSON WAS NOT IN THERE TO BUY ANYTHING. THE FEMALE MANAGER OR SHIFT LEAD IS OLDER AND MUCH SMALLER. NOTING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE. THEY CAME IN HIGH TOOK WHAT THEY WANTED AND WALKED OUT. YOU TELL ME PEOPLE HOW SAFE IS THIS? SCARED TO DEATH TO DO ANYTHING BUT HIDE. THE KUB,, THE MONEY THAT CAME OUT TO PAY THE EMPLOYEES AND THE MONEY THAT WALKED OUT THE DOOR. THAT IS WHAT WALGREENS GOT FOR THE STORE BEING OPEN UNTIL MID-NIGHT DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

REALLY THAT IS THIS COMPANY OR CORPORATION, CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT.

THEY SAY YOU DON'T GET PENALIZED FOR SPEAKING UP OR STATING YOUR COMPLAINTS BUT I KNOW DIFFERENTLY,. YOU SAY HERE IN THIS STATE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU A REASON, YOU KNOW WHY!
