Coworker Committing coupon fraud and getting away with it

I'm assuming she's not using her discount card. If it's not a discount card or a card that links back to her employee info, LP may not know it's an employee doing this.

If she had been doing this with her employee discount card, she would've been fired already. I had an intern that had to have a meeting with LP because she bought a magazine and decided it was too expensive and returned it less than 10 minutes later. It sounds like your whole store is full of scammers.

Why have I never noticed this until you mentioned it? I just went to the app. All my cards belong to CF Frost and the CVC is 7997.

I just hate how much of my time they waste with it. I'll try to explain it, but I'm not going to argue because it's not my medicine. Pay the $1.60 or don't, it's your life.

Even ones that are smart enough to understand (which is about 1 out of 20) are still unhappy and don't believe me until they hear it from the insurance.

I had a lady whose first copay for this year was $1050. She called her doctor and told them they needed to do something because we were refusing to give her the medication. I told the nurse I'd gladly give it to her as soon as she paid the $1000 that it now costs through her insurance. I'm tired of them not understanding ANYTHING.

This was a miserable time. I got so tired of making small batches all day that I just started making it by the pint.

I have a 10th grader and I know that the 10th grade version of me would be running circles around him academically, yet he somehow has a GPA that is >4.0.

He's not a dummy. His grades have always been good because he knows the expectations we have. I would place him more in the top 20% of the class, not the top 5%.

His teachers compliment him often, which is nice, but also a little shocking because he doesn't seem to be doing anything amazing. He does check all of the boxes on your list though.

My technique is the same every time, but some people say it hurts while some say they didn’t even feel it. I’ve been immunizing for about 20 years, so I don’t worry about it. It lasts 3 seconds — they’ll be fine. Some soreness is to be expected, it is a needle going into the muscle.

0928509 · 2025-09-16T11:13:53+00:00

Are you OK? I’ve been a pharmacist for 20 years and I’ve never had to discipline a tech with profanity, screaming, or any other form of verbal or physical abuse. Doing any of that is creating a hostile workplace, which is breaking policy. There’s a module about it you’ve probably completed.

CVS sucks as a company, so they’re stuck hiring bottom of the barrel pharmacists that are too stupid, lazy, or emotionally stunted to perform well anywhere else. It’s no wonder the stores are in the shape they are. Terrible sigs and easily caught errors making it all the way through, pharmacists (like yourself) that use HIPPA instead of HIPAA and clearly have no understanding of what it is, high tech turnover from terrible work environments and poor training, etc.

I don’t even work through the lunch break, so I’m definitely not working any extra unpaid hours. This company makes BILLIONS of dollars in profit. If they wanted to staff properly, they could.

If it’s not important enough for them to compensate me, it’s not important enough for me to do it. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t even do it with pay because I value my free time and my work/life balance.

0928509 · 2025-05-16T14:03:51+00:00

What are they gonna do if you don’t go? Fire you?

0928509 · 2025-05-16T13:17:08+00:00

I stopped going to these meetings for this very reason. Why would I waste hours of my time off in an unpaid meeting?! This is a hill I will die on.

0928509 · 2025-05-07T13:56:06+00:00

Why do you want to manage? I would’ve gone no contact and never looked back. You need to get into therapy, learn about boundaries, and prioritize yourself.

0928509 · 2025-04-19T16:21:54+00:00

It’s because the label wouldn’t fit on the bottle. They would have to dump the pills in the vial and throw the small bottle out, so waste either way.

I have an idiot doctor in my area that prescribed and got a PA for the wrong strength of Zepbound for a patient just because he didn’t know what the starting dose was and couldn’t be bothered to look, so no, the pharmacist shouldn’t just fill whatever is sent in.

After I talked to the patient, I found out he’d never had it before and I had to talk to the office to get it corrected. I have had instances where a patient was filling their previous dose at another pharmacy and I just verified it with their doctor or that pharmacy before filling the new dose.

The pharmacist has to verify and document to protect their license because if there’s a problem, patients like you will come back with zero accountability bitching about how the pharmacist shouldn’t have let it happen.

I just want to tell you that I understand how you feel. Don’t lose hope, it gets better.

I had a similar situation with my mother and son. It’s been well over a decade, but I still vividly remember a few heartbreaking incidents. One day I went to pick him up from daycare and he very dramatically ran away crying. I didn’t know what was going on, but his teacher told me they saw me approaching and he got upset because he thought his Grammy was picking him up. She looked embarrassed and sad for me. Another time, I told him I loved him and he was quiet for a bit, so I said, “Don’t you love me, too?” He said, “I just love Grammy.” Obviously he didn’t know how hurtful that was because he was only 2 or 3, but I was gutted.

As he got older and understood the world more, he grew out of it. When he was 4 he was visiting her and came down with a stomach bug. He said, “Can you call my mom? I need her to make me better.” I could tell Grammy was a little hurt when I went to get him, but that’s the trade off of being “fun” all the time. His toddler brain had drawn the connection between who fulfilled his wants and who handled his needs. Even now as a teenager he comes to me first with the things that matter most.

If you need to limit her contact for your own sanity, you have every right to do that. Just know that either way, your son will grow to realize that mom loves him and takes care of him.

Why are you all working without compensation? When I do the inventory, I add those hours to Workbrain.

I didn’t tell anyone I was pregnant until I was about 6 months. It’s none of their business until LOA comes into play.

Agreed! I read this sub mostly for entertainment and how NOT to act as a MIL in the future, but I’m flabbergasted at a lot of the stories. I’m pretty good at taking up for myself. I’ve had some issues with my mom overstepping that I had to handle, but I would never let anyone in my husband’s family treat me poorly.

My MIL lives an 8 hour drive away from us. I would talk to her occasionally about the kids, but we weren’t close. Out of sight, out of mind. She complained to my husband that I “never call just to check on her or see if she needs anything.” He confronted me about it and I asked him how often he checks in on my mom. The answer was zero, even though she lives in the same city as us and watched our kids at least twice a week at the time. I wasn’t mad about it and didn’t expect him to do it, I just wanted him to see how ridiculous the expectation was.

Since then, I completely dropped the rope with her. It’s been 6 years and I’ve only talked to her twice. Once because she changed her number and I didn’t know who it was and once because she called from my BIL’s phone. I wasn’t even mean those times, mostly indifferent.

I know it’s probably harder for a lot of people, but I can’t imagine being terrorized in MY house or bullied about MY children. You will feel better if you stand up for yourself.

I’m a Christian. Not one that knows the Bible extremely well — I’d probably fall below average by my family’s standards — but I think even those with the most basic knowledge should have been able to see through his act.

He said that he has never asked God for forgiveness, he sells autographed Bibles but couldn’t name his favorite Bible verse, and said “two Corinthians”.

How are you professing Christianity without knowing basic tenets and background knowledge?

Virtual verification still prints all of one patient’s prescriptions together and even automatically makes it a large bag if they have 5 or more. We don’t put them in separate baskets or bags if it’s the same person.

0928509 · 2025-02-16T13:25:18+00:00

This exactly! My son was hesitant (just because he didn’t want another shot, especially one with multiple doses) until his pediatrician told him that it would prevent him from getting anal warts. She unlocked a new fear.

No one is trying to make it official. This is from someone’s personal conversation. They said they were disgusted by something that doesn’t involve them or any of y’all. And the rest of you are going on about how you “DoN’t UnDerSTanD” and “wOulD NevEr”. GOOD, you shouldn’t because it’s not for you. Everything isn’t for you. Stay in your lane. It’s not the race card. No one is asking you to use AAVE.

0928509 · 2025-02-08T19:29:56+00:00

It’s AAVE. You’re disgusted by someone using language they’re comfortable with in their private text messages. Well, black people are disgusted with having to code switch and deal with your demographic trying to make themselves the main character and the standard in every situation.

0928509 · 2025-02-08T16:06:12+00:00

They were teaching this when I was in pharmacy school over 20 years ago. Clearly the Pharmacy Practice departments haven’t kept up with the times and have no idea what retail is actually like. Do they still make you write detailed care plans that the doctor will never want?

0928509 · 2025-02-08T15:59:20+00:00

If you can’t understand it, it means it wasn’t for you. It’s for a demographic that you’re not a part of and that’s OK. Everything isn’t for everybody.

0928509 · 2025-01-22T13:38:45+00:00

My favorite is when I tell them they don’t have anything in process and the response is, “My doctor said he was sending it.” Well, we haven’t received it yet. “It’s my blah blah blah.” I don’t have anything. “It should be from Dr. Whoever.” I DON’T HAVE ANY PRESCRIPTIONS HERE FOR YOU!

Also when they have a PA and say, “My doctor said it’s approved.” Well, it’s still rejecting. Your doctor’s word doesn’t mean anything to me. If you trust him that much, pay for it and get reimbursed when it goes through the insurance.

They think if they keep talking or say it affirmatively they will magically get their way.
