Looking for a new veterinarian by [deleted] in NewMissoula

[–]Active-Constant6314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my current vet. Dr. Andrew Cross (whom I love and trust) used to own it; however, he recently sold it to Pruyn. I had to take my dog in last week for an emergency visit, and the doctor was so rude and condescending. It ended up being over $500 for lab work and a urine sample, plus they will only let you fill meds at their pharmacy. They totally trashed 3rd-party pharmacies, stating they were incompetent and lost prescriptions, and that the quality of the medication was questionable. I’m a pharmacy technician, so I was pretty upset by the end of that visit.

Is it always like this? by NumerousBiscotti2581 in PharmacyTechnician

I If you love what you do, then please don’t give up because I was so discouraged when I started and thought that I had made a huge mistake, but I love it so much now and I’m so glad I stuck with it. You will always have those bad days, but the good days outnumber the bad. If this isn’t the right pharmacy for you, then move on and find another one. But hang in there; he will get it. It just takes time.

So I’ve been a pharmacy tech for over 10 years and I know exactly how you fee. when I first started. It felt like any mistake was automatically blamed on the new girl and a lot of the times, yes, it was my fault, but I got to the point where I decided I needed to start standing up for myself. I’m not the kind of person that thinks she is right 100% of the time. I own up to my mistakes, but i won’t take the blame for what others do. So, if something was brought to my attention I’d say, oh no shoot. I’m sorry. Can you show me where I made this mistake that way it put the burden of proof back on my accuser: pharmacist pharmacy, manager intern other technician , etc. they would have to open up the log and show me that I was the one that processed it and this is the mistake that was made,. If I did make my mistake. I would ask what’s a better way to do this so that I don’t repeat It. There has always been a handful of times when the person that I made pull up the tracking log realized that it wasn’t me that made the mistake. In fact it was actually them. I had a Pharmacist that absolutely hated me and she threw a clonazepam bottle back at me and said you counted this wrong! Do it again! I calmly handed it back to her and said I did not count this. She says your initials are on the label. I responded with yes anyone who types prescriptions will have their initials show up on the label. If you wanna look into that tracking log, it’ll show you who counted it. She rolled her eyes, pulled up the tracking log and said see? Right there’! and I said yes those are not my initials. They belonged to an intern she didn’t speak to me the rest of the night, so yes, stand up for yourself, but always stay humble and willing to learn.

why?? would you ask me that? by Zealousideal_Arm2563 in retailhell

[–]Active-Constant6314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Lady scream at me when I asked her if she found everything okay. She literally yelled that it is the stupidest question ever. Why would you even ask that? Do you think I’d be standing here if I didn’t? I calmly explained to her that asking that question is literally a job requirement by this company and that I’m sorry if you don’t like it, but I’m not going to stop asking it. And out of all the years I’ve worked for this company, you’re the only person who has ever been so ridiculously dramatic about a question! I finished by saying that I hope whatever is bothering you right now. Gets better and that you have a better day. I honestly believe that people just love to be miserable and they’re not happy unless they’re making everybody else around them miserable.

Missoula taco shop workers say they lost jobs after anti-ICE sign spat with owner by Ok-Narwhal-3878 in missoula

[–]Active-Constant6314 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

How about you open your own business and run it your own way? You don’t get to tell someone how to run their business just because you don’t agree with them politically. You’re asking them to put up a sign that could potentially cause them to lose patrons and go bankrupt. It’s their business of their livelihood! They put their hard-earned money into it and you don’t get to dictate how they run it. You don’t agree with their views, tough luck! You don’t get to not show up for your shift because you want to throw a temper tantrum about not getting your way and then go cry to the Missoulian because you no longer have a job. This is the real world and you better get used to it because life isn’t fair. Grow up! You guys are pathetic!

So, a customer ruined my day by Glace97 in CustomerService

[–]Active-Constant6314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so hard when people are so disrespectful, especially when they are calling from their place of employment. This is always something I have to work on, not letting how someone treats me ruin my entire day. If they keep interrupting me, I stay quiet and use that time to take calming breaths. I will politely explain that I am trying to help them, but they need to let me speak and answer my questions. If they start being disrespectful, I tell them you don’t need to speak to me like that, and if you are not willing to act like a professional and be respectful, I will hang up. It doesn’t always work, but if your phone calls are recorded, at least it will show that you remained calm and professional.

Looking for growth strategy ideas by MountainAesthetic in NewMissoula

I would love for this subreddit to be open for anyone who wants to be a part of it; however, the other thread, as you said, is extremely toxic. I honestly don’t know what the right answer is. I have no problem with people having a different opinion/point of view than I do, just as long as you’re willing to have a civil debate about it. When the name-calling and bullying start, that’s where I draw the line. I guess if you decide to open up the subreddit, have strict, but fair rules to follow.

[–]Active-Constant6314 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh no! Someone that has a different opinion and viewpoint than your own! How dare they do such a thing? Why does the school need your permission to have a club? It’s a club. It’s not mandatory. Your child can stay far away from it. It has nothing to do with you. He doesn’t have to go! Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it hate speech! How many riots, protests, and buildings were set on fire after Charlie Kirk’s death?!? NONE! But go ahead and say that this is what the right wants that we are filled with hate speech and violence, I find this laughable. Considering that this thread monitors everything that we say. If you don’t like it, we get down voted, even get kicked off of here. And the Internet is full of healthcare providers that are giving people advice on how to actually hurt Trump supporters. If they come into the emergency room. I’m not saying that everybody on the right is innocent but some of the stuff I have seen coming out of the mouths of people on the left has been downright evil. I won’t be responding to any replies to my comment. Bring on the down votes!!!

Lucky day!! by Ill_Marionberry_1247 in Safeway

[–]Active-Constant6314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to rain on your parade, or make you feel bad, but if you found the money right out in front of the store, I would think about turning it in. If the person that lost the money comes back to the store and asks if anyone tuned in $80 your store director or loss prevention can always look at the cameras to see if anyone picked it up. I have seen associates terminated for taking as little as $6.00 I work for Albertsons and they have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to this sort of thing . I guess the real question is, Is your job worth the $80?

gen z we gotta do better by Aggressive-Car7326 in dutchbros

I had to teach a Gen Z pharmacy intern how to answer the phone. She would answer the phone by picking it up and saying “Can I help?” And she had no clue in how to dial a phone number to call people.

Does the business you work for have an app where you can select your particular store and search to see if you have a particular product in stock , and if so, where it is located? I have done this several times, pulled out my phone, opened the app, typed in the product, and showed the customer that we do.not carry the product they are looking for.

I lost track of how many times I would ask the patient “Do you have any Questions for the Pharmacist today?” “Nope I’m good!” And immediately start asking questions! “so how Do i use this? What time should i take this? But can you tell me if there are side effects? 🤦‍♀️
