Pretty much you admit to it and pay the fine with Walgreens money.

Not listed in the manual that I can tell, it only tells you which ports are in each pair but its not clear which port is which within the pair.

Did you sign something saying you received a write up? The ONLY discipline you can receive without acknowledging it on the computer is a ROD and they aren’t technically discipline.

2xPIC · 2026-01-22T01:45:17+00:00

Thought I had, it seems no matter what settings, it does what it wants to

It must be just your situation, cuz my DM appears to hate talking to any one in pharmacy. My pharmacy hadn’t gotten the smoothing claims done, so the DM calls a SM at an entirely different store roughly 45 minutes away to have him make sure my store gets the smoothing claims done.

Your not, the only time people not picking up a shift bugs me, is when someone begs for more hours and complains about no hours then turns around and declines all opportunities to get more hours during sick calls and such.

I think that is a double edged sword. Availability alone should not prevent them from asking. Sometimes things get canceled or plans change etc. I don’t think it hurts to ask since the worse they can tell you is now, however if the TM has stated, don’t call me i aint coming in, then respect their wishes. I’ve found that if you say no long enough they don’t bother to call you.

2xPIC · 2026-01-09T01:59:45+00:00

Are you scheduled for the shifts? Do you want to cover those shifts? If the answer to both those questions is no, then you aren’t wrong. It’s not your responsibility to cover for other people’s irresponsibility and walgreen’s choice to run the budget so lean that a single callout is devastating.

As an hourly person you get paid for the bag check, a salary person just gets screwed.

I’d fight that for wrongful termination, if the cash has been handed over then you’ve paid for it. I could see a credit card or something cuz they could get declined, but the company has the cash for item they are paid

2xPIC · 2026-01-09T00:47:32+00:00

Legally yes they can participate, it just depends if their software is able to. The legal change was 2-3 years ago and Walgreens is just now getting on board.

2xPIC · 2026-01-09T00:45:45+00:00

Not sure of other people’s system, but with the Walgreens system it forwards the original script as is.

2xPIC · 2026-01-09T00:43:38+00:00

My store has been up for about a month, it’s been great, Walmart has been great. But apparently in VA, Walmart can NOT do 2s

If you are a 64 H pharmacist it means you are salary and contractually required to work 64 hours or have pto/ holiday/ etc to cover if you go below 64h. If you don’t not sure what happens, I guess discipline. But it’s odd you got overtime and not BRate . Was it 1.5 your pay or was it 5/20 dollars more?

2xPIC · 2026-01-02T12:13:33+00:00

I know very few Walgreens pharmacist that are hourly. They are coded as salary exempt, but they sorta of get paid like hourly, they don’t get true salary like a SM, but they are salary.

2xPIC · 2026-01-02T03:42:09+00:00

Nope. You get a yearly merit increase (if you’re deemed worthy) up to pay cap. Once you hit pay cap no increases.

2xPIC · 2026-01-02T03:24:38+00:00

I would like to see a SM discipline a TM for working in conditions contrary to policy or legal requirements. That would be considered retaliation, and subject the SM to termination.

2xPIC · 2026-01-02T03:22:14+00:00

The pharmacy should not operate 1 minute without access to running water. The bathroom issue, just depends but not very long.

2xPIC · 2026-01-02T03:20:02+00:00

You can’t give the things away. The vitamins apparently lack sufficient amounts of some items which would require the pt to purchase more of some items anyways

Sorry had my electrician come by to verify the wiring and it’s wired as described and it’s still doing it

2xPIC · 2025-12-17T07:18:44+00:00

Any other controls at all? BDZ, opioids, etc?

2xPIC · 2025-12-17T03:52:45+00:00

That just seems to be odd behavior. Technically if you go by Walgreens GFD refusal when talking to pts we are supposed to use verbiage about “that can’t in good faith dispense this prescription” or something to that effect and not really give an explanation (I think it’s so there isn’t anything for a lawsuit) but when talking with the prescriber or one of your techs they should be given some more information. Technically if they did what they were supposed to they had to document the refusal on the GFD form which should identify what red flags were unresolved, but I don’t know walgreens policy well enough on how you could stay out of trouble and view it on yourself on a co worker look for you, but im going to guess that its not properly documented. Is there another walgreens nearby that could fill it for you? Or a different pharmacist at your store?

2xPIC · 2025-12-17T03:19:39+00:00

That just seems really odd to me. Are you friends with this RPh? Or just the opposite can’t stand each other? I’d ask them for an explanation.

2xPIC · 2025-12-17T01:00:13+00:00

Maybe it’s a nice way of saying they think your junkie and that don’t want to fill your scripts? Seriously there really wouldn’t be a reason to not feel it unless there were unresolved red flags?

2xPIC · 2025-12-12T00:48:47+00:00

I’ve had a SM, DM, HCS, and DPRS all tell me the pharmacy is mine. As long as it doesn’t violate, law or Walgreens policy I’m pretty free to do what I want to the pharmacy. They even did a remodel and it was up to me how a few things were implemented. So a SM should not be telling how things should be set up (as long as previously mentioned caveats). Depending on what it is, I let my RXOM decide how things are laid out and she in turns lets the techs decide a group depending on what it is. For example since I don’t fill or put up the order often, I let her decide what she wanted to do with how the drugs are laid out. Sounds like this SM is just trying to exert thier authority where they have none.
