"Significantly lower demand for COVID-related services, a more cautious and value-driven consumer, and a recently weaker respiratory season created margin pressures in the quarter," said CEO Rosalind Brewer.

"Our revised guidance takes an appropriately cautious forward view in light of consumer spending uncertainty, while still demonstrating clear drivers of a return to operating growth next fiscal year," she added. "We are raising our cost savings program target to $4.1 billion and taking immediate actions to optimize profitability for our U.S. Healthcare segment."

Don't agree with every decision Roz Brewer has made but from Greg Wasson's reign to the present, corporate has failed to give its rank-and-file the resources required to serve our customers properly. Wringing every ounce of production out of "team members" through intimidation and unrealistic micro-management while piling on even more tasks has been corporate's go to solution to save cost for many years now. Covid vaccines gave Walgreens a shot in the arm, so to speak, and profits were boosted accordingly. Without Covid, our overly compensated c-suite will have think of new ways to make money.

Walgreens cuts employees hours, wants them to do truck, cashier, push credit cards, ask for donations, fill curbside orders, restock the ones not picked up, do photo, help customers.. All this with a member of management or key holder, and cashier. Don't allow us to order what we need so customers go elsewhere. Why do we have the highest paid useless CEO?

If I'm not mistaken, Walgreens sold off two thirds of the Deerfield property. They may have opened up some space when they fired those 500 plus "team members" though. Not sure If saving on some rent will affect the overall financial picture for the company though.

They cant just leave the post office. They have a lease. They own Deerfield. Might as well sell Deerfield and continue leasing the OPO. Even though there isnt rent at Deerfield, the upkeep is multiples higher than the rent plus maintenance at OPO. Also have more flexibility.

Time to rethink the post office location. With all of the employees they laid off before and since, and more people continuing to work from home, they can close the downtown location and pull people back to Deerfield. Worth looking into as it might save them millions.

Looking like they are moving away from a retail pharmacy and moving towards a medical facility with a small pharmacy right next door.

Walgreens stock tumbles toward a 12-year low, cuts 22 points off the Dow’s price.
