Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA)

[Prudent Capitalist]

I was in our local Walgreens a week or so ago to pick up a prescription. There were 10-12 cars waiting in line for the double-lane drive through Rx pick-up so I went inside as I needed a couple of other items. I was 9 deep in the line to pick up my prescription and there were a few folks in line to get the new COVID vaccine. Before I got to the line, I walked down the aisle to pick up some deodorant, and there were several brands missing and a lot of empty shelf space. Same thing in the part of the vitamin aisle where the multi-vitamins are, including the Walgreens brands. Must be supply chain shortages, but they were filling and dispensing scripts as fast as they could. I overheard one of them behind the counter state they had gotten in 300 new scripts already just that day and were at least that far behind in filling them. Scripts should still be a cash cow as mine stated that my insurance saved me $793 on the 90-day supply.
