It doesn't seem to affect Walgreens' pockets since that is a small share of their CA buyer base.
Crazy about retail.

The thing is every other chain has the exact same situation as Walgreens has regarding this issue. The thing that got the CA Governor so upset is that Walgreens actually wrote a letter to 20 states that said they will not dispense this particular drug in those states where it is illegal to do so.jamcool wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 10:52 pm The Airhead Governor of California doesn’t understand that Walgreens is required to follow all laws of the various states it operates in-including such things as liquor sales and the sale of certain drugs. The same for other mass retailers. And Walgreens does fill prescriptions for abortion pills in California.

It is tough not to, but I tried in a roundabout way in my post to describe the details of the situation. The biggest thing I see is from a compliance perspective. Potentially not legal to do this based on Federal procurement policies if Federal dollars are involved.retailfanmitchell019 wrote: ↑March 10th, 2023, 5:32 pmDo we have to get political here?jamcool wrote: ↑March 9th, 2023, 10:52 pm The Airhead Governor of California doesn’t understand that Walgreens is required to follow all laws of the various states it operates in-including such things as liquor sales and the sale of certain drugs.

I heard the Walgreens in Mill Valley can't sell food right now due to rodent problems.norcalriteaidclerk wrote: ↑March 11th, 2023, 11:04 pm To de-politicize things,two more acquired RAD locations are biting the dust:a Montgomery,Alabama location that was a Harco or K&B(article say K&B but my intuition tells me Harco since it was Alabama-based before RAD acquired it and K&B as it was integrating the ThriftyPayless acquisition)before RAD(don't know if it ever got a wellness conversion) and a Conton,NY location that RAD had barely opened as a replacement for an older store when it was included in the WBA divestitures.
Just FYI - that second title should be Canton, NY (the actual link has that). A smaller town in the state, but still sort of surprising that a new store wouldn't do at least OK (being that it had to be OK enough to get the new store built to begin with under Rite Aid, as they did keep many older and smaller stores, even ones that they took over from others, or acquired in that setting from the Eckerd merger here in NY).norcalriteaidclerk wrote: ↑March 11th, 2023, 11:04 pm To de-politicize things,two more acquired RAD locations are biting the dust:a Montgomery,Alabama location that was a Harco or K&B(article say K&B but my intuition tells me Harco since it was Alabama-based before RAD acquired it and K&B as it was integrating the ThriftyPayless acquisition)before RAD(don't know if it ever got a wellness conversion) and a Conton,NY location that RAD had barely opened as a replacement for an older store when it was included in the WBA divestitures.
