April 2nd - Walgreens DOES NOT REFILL Canon, Epson, Brother, etc
Yea, Went to 3 stores and everyone of them told me this. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a giant waste of my time. Just thought I'd pass on the good news so no one else wastes their day. I thought it needed it's own thread due to the store treating me like I was an alien.

I thought I would add that the commercial advertising this "deal" said nothing about certain brands being excluded. And count me stupid I guess but what OTHER brands are their besides Canon, Epson, Or Brother. I also read that Lexmark models are excluded. So what, do they refill Kowia SMF-101 Inkjet printers manufactured in the southern Ukraine? Ridiculous.
It's called Bait & Switch - advertise A and then when the customer gets to your store you simply say "I'm sorry but we are all out or we did not get any in or it does not include that brand, etc, etc, etc" Then they turn around an offer you their branded $10 inkjet cartridge, meanwhile offering to "recycle" my old cartridge. They get my old cartidge that they send out and refill. Then they turn around the next day and sell it to the next customer. What a crock of sh*t!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't born yesterday.
Now that I am off my high horse - the manager saw the ignorance of his advertising department and offered my a $10 gift card. Paid for my gas.

What's unfortunate is that not all Walgreen's stores are able to do the refill. We have COUNTLESS Walgreen's stores in our area. Just ridiculous how many there are, and several of them don't have the ability to refill the cartridges. You'd best call around to be sure your Walgreen's store can even do the refill altogether.

I would have liked to have seen the OTHER thread as it would have saved me a lot of time.
