Believe it or not, walgreens probably has the policy because in America, if you get injured while committing a crime, you can sue the person that injured you and in many cases win.

i hope Walgreen goes bankrupt in January when all their customers have to leave them, to go elsewhere cause they wont take express scripts anymore.

Walgreens needs to be sued and lose hugely.
My life or the perps- hmmmm- let me think.
NOT. The guy absolutely did the right thing, and Walgreens did the wrong thing.
I am advising my patients not to use Walgreen, and I will not darken their doors unless and until this is satisfactorily resolved.

i was a pharmacist for walgreens during the decade of the 80′s in denver, one of our stores was robbed and the store manager, a pharmacist, shoot at some robbers outside the store in denver and he was not fired. i cann’t remember his name, but val kalnis, the DM at the time would remember his name and the story. the pharmacist/manager was moved to a store way out in the boon docks, but he still had a job. chucky walgreen messed up, the guy saved lifes and yes he violated policy but in no way should he have lost his job when he has a concealed carry permit, it is his right to carry that pistol and he doesn’t have to tell anyone. the pharmacist did a great job. i have been doing retail for 35 years and when any sudden moves or noises happen around the pharmacy i always jump and wonder is someone going to stick a gun in my face!

Mace, in your coat pocket, find someone in law enforcement to get it for you. It will give you the 30 seconds you need to run, sorry to add.

The same exact situation happened to me, written up, notice given(then was walked out)- this was 20 years ago. I don’t know what else to say.
Out of retail, period.

Poo on Walgreen’s. Give the guy his job back. It could have been Mr. Hoven dead. Walgreen’s, you suck. I will await the news that you, Walgreen’s gave Mr. Hoven his job back or I will start a boycott against you. DO NOT SHOP AT WALGREEN’S – they desire their employees to be robbed and killed.

I am so sorry that happened to you! I’d want to relocate.

Isn’t there anyway to make these stores accountable for their LACK of security?

I never thought of browsing too long as being suspicious. I’m just comparison shopping or can’t find it.

But ..I could see why it would be.

Self defense at all costs in my opinion – save the innocent.
