Ive been trying to fill my 2 ***** prescriptions, an inhaler I use for asthma and COPD along with my nebulizer medication at Cub Pharmacy N.E. ******** MN ***** location for 4 days. The system has been down for four days and I cant place an order. I asked if I could get my original order that was faxed over by my doctors and was told no because the system is down! Not sure why the pharmacy is open if they cant fill any orders?! So now I have to set up appts to see my doctors to get new prescriptions and have them faxed to another pharmacy!!!I asked how long the system would be down and was told they had no idea!!! I could see peoples orders on the shelves and they cant get their orders of medication either because the system is down??! Very inconvenient to say the least!Business Response

Hello ********,
We recently identified unauthorized activity in our systems and have proactively taken them offline while we investigate.
Because weve temporarily disabled the systems we use in our Pharmacy, we are unable to fill new prescription orders at this time.
We are working diligently to safely bring our systems back online.
We appreciate your patience while we work through this and apologize for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Cub Customer Care

I am rejecting this response because:
It is bait and switch practices. They did not address the issue. How can you open the store on Sunday when your price changes and not update the price on the floor. So it says its on sale on Sunday but that was last weeks price. This is bait and switch. You cannot start updating your price after the store opensInitial Complaint

Cub - ********* West at HarMar First off I would like to say how embarrassed I felt here. I am a father with two kids just trying to grocery shop Im new to the area. I saw a really good deal on 12 packs of soda if you buy four or more you get them at $3.88 apiece, as I was in line, I saw that my ticket was almost 50% more for 12 packs of soda than what I was supposed to pay. They said I had to have my rewards card so I downloaded the app right in front of about three of their employees, and they watched that their app wasnt working correctly and told me to my face that I needed to pay full price this time but I could get the deal next time by paying full price I was paying almost an extra 53% on top of what I was already paying for the **** packs. Yes I said 12 of 12 packs full price was almost 7 dollars but with reward card I get them on sale my one-year-old screaming my three-year-old screaming about his cookies. It was a terrible situation to be in and no one even cared. They actually were really going to have me move forward and pay full price for the soda because the app that I downloaded wasnt working to give me a rewards card so I could get the discount on the soda that is just ridiculous. The people that you have running this location in ********* ********* really need new training Im an entrepreneur, and if I was overseeing a situation like that and I saw that this guy has kids all his groceries are on the register already went through my my tickets almost $200 but youre gonna add 53% extra on top of my $200 ticket because my rewards card doesnt work. No I wouldve helped the man out and I wouldve done some decency but not this location not the five employees that watch me go through frustration and embarrassment just to not have to pay for something so ridiculous when it clearly says ** *********** the sale. This is the location. ****************************** ********* **Business Response

May 23rd, 2023 at around 2:30 PM Setup at store for electric cart use and return are not usable to disabled people who shop alone.Why have them if the carts are NOT easy to get and return? The way the Northfield store handles the carts - a disabled person will get hurt trying to use them and could *** the store.Business Response
