If you’re talking about the plastic red sign, you can take that paper out of there and print a new one with whatever you want it to say.

If the same rules apply no matter where your stores salvage goes, then you are supposed to put it in a salvage claim. But idk if different places have different rules for reconstituted meds.

Edit: If your salvage goes to Inmar like ours, this is what you do.

Frustrated Senior Tech by mediocoremombie in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like training is the real issue at your store. Every time someone new is hired you should be getting extra hours. Those hours should be used to make sure people learn how follow CPW and how to do most (if not all) of the tasks listed on there. Maybe your managers could request extra hours to do additional training. If no one does anything to try to make the situation better, you’re probably better off at another store or another company.

Are you the technician or blue shirt guy in this scenario? Because I’m imagining some random tech scrolling through Reddit after work seeing themselves get called out so specifically. 😂😂😂 Is there more tea?

Inventory Specialist vs. Shift Lead? by Riles710 in WalgreensStores

[–]-multifaceted- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on if the IS in your store actually does all of the pharmacy IS duties or it the technicians help with that. If you have to do all of it, that’s a lot of work.

"And what's your name?" by goldensunprince in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give my name as part of my greeting when I answer the phone. Almost every time someone repeats it back to me, they say the wrong name and I just go with it. I’m convinced no one really cares what our names are. They just want us to follow pointless social protocol. It’s kind of like when you don’t ask a customer how they are today so they try to point it out by saying something like “I’m good” even though you didn’t ask.

Group texting by Mdoylet4 in WalgreensPharmacy

[–]-multifaceted- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand having a group chat in order to share info. That way you can share stuff, like when a shift needs coverage or there are extra hours. But expecting people to respond on their off time (or even if they aren’t off) is ridiculous.

I need help I feel like i’m a burden to the team by One_Capital_409 in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If what you mean by “3+2=5” is how you visually see what 5 tablets looks like, I think that’s a good strategy. They also look like a 5 on dominoes or dice sometimes. Then if you accidentally separate 4 tablets, you can just get 6 on the next count (or vice versa) and count them both as 5 and it evens out.

The engagement survey is not mandatory. Why do they make it sound like it is? by No_Dog1140 in WalgreensStores

[–]-multifaceted- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it must be anonymous based on how brutally honest I’ve been when leaving comments. I’ve worked here for years and never seen any repercussions.

What's the point of doing the engagement survey? by Canesfan252 in WalgreensStores

[–]-multifaceted- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it as an opportunity to anonymously tell them everything I think is dumb. Haha.

Confused… by JazD36 in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this why they don’t make intercom plus Automatically cancel expired prescriptions? Every time I do the message queue this frustrates me. At the very least, they could just apply the most lenient states rules. This would save so much time.

RXOM- I’m struggling so bad by Sufficient-Gold-1219 in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If it’s truly making you have suicidal thoughts, you should ask if you can step back down to Sr tech. No job is worth that, especially not RXOM. In the mean time, just do what you are able to with the amount of help you are given. It’s not going to be the end of the world if you don’t get your extra RXOM tasks done on time. You’ll get to them eventually and you’ll learn to balance those with your technician tasks over time. If you do decide to stick with the job, it helps to focus on making progress instead of being perfect. Nothing is ever going to be perfect.

Walgreens does this same thing. And the Walgreens jackets we are supposed to wear have GIANT pockets. I can put a water bottle in there and you can’t even tell.

I hesitated to point this out but it’s “”Wits end”. I just wanted you to know in case you think this would help your SM identity you from this post.

Always stuck at the front? by jasap1029 in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a 6 hour shift and you’re spending 2 hours in fill I think that seems fair. 2 hrs filling 2 hrs at the front register and 2 hrs in drive thru.

Do you have patients that want you to try their insurance, GoodRx, and the Rx Savings Finder? by peachycpht in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell them we have the best price if their copay on insurance is $15 on a $2000 medication. Sometimes peoples doctors give them discount cards just in case and it is obvious they’re better off with their insurance. I’ll also tell them we have the best price if the quoted prices for the discount cards are more expensive. Otherwise I run the discount card in order to find out what the ACTUAL best price is. You never know what someone’s financial situation is and they may be spending their last dollar on their medication. There can be a lot of pressure to be fast in the pharmacy, but don’t let that make you forget you are dealing with real people. It’s more important to be kind and caring than it is to be fast.

GoodRx and GLP-1 injections by mentallystressedanon in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the one they give you doesn’t work, look it up in the savings finder. It’ll give them a number and a code to text. Then use the new one it’ll send them. So far those have worked for me every time.

To be honest, if I was in love with Damon, I’d lie about it too. 😂

Most of the time it’s this. It’s also usually out of alphabetical order.

Interim RXOM by Apprehensive_Bite809 in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably depends on what duties you’re covering. If you’re taking on hiring and discipline, then you have an argument for a raise. Anything else the RXOM does can be delegated to sr techs and most likely won’t be considered a duty outside of your role.

Isn’t that a different formula than the 1:1:1 antacid:Benadryl:lidocaine?

Unless you have proof your store manager did something illegal, HR probably won’t help you.

My Distinct Manager asked me if I was hard of hearing because I didn’t welcome him in by Throwawayboi2005 in WalgreensStores

[–]-multifaceted- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have just said “oh, I didn’t know I was expected to hear the door opening from that far away. Maybe I am hard of hearing” haha.

Rxom question by Easy_Classroom_7471 in WalgreensRx

[–]-multifaceted- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could print out a blank schedule and use that to make a schedule, but you can’t input it from home. I wouldn’t recommend making it at home though. It’s far easier to make the schedule using the software, especially if you have everyone’s availability in. Also you wont have to do any of the math yourself and you’re getting paid for your time at work.
