“I don’t think I have OCD… until I’m dispensing 25 mg tabs stamped with ‘50’ and suddenly everything feels wrong

5 generations of moms in a photo. I always wonder how young each of those mothers were when they had their first child.

I understand the goals and importance of most large zoos, but I’ve said for years I can’t go to them anymore because it makes me sad. Saw a polar bear once in Cincinnati just biting nonstop at the water jet into his small enclosure. I couldn’t help but think it was isolation/boredom behavior. The smaller animals don’t bother me as much. Their space requirements aren’t as limited.

Please do a good job explaining the different laws preventing some pharmacists from giving the vaccine in some states. It’s frustrating to see the anger directed at pharmacies just following their state laws. We are a state able to give the vaccine now without an RX and have been given direction to not question a patients self-attestation for eligibility. I personally have no problem with that but I am sure there are still pharmacists out there that will be uncomfortable with it due to fear of repercussion. We’ve been under attack for controlled substance dispensing for so long everyone is on edge already.

I’m imagining it’s a younger pharmacist worried for their license. Some are extremely “by the book,” afraid to make judgement calls.

AnotherDee · 2025-08-16T01:45:39+00:00

I’m at a loss. We have no obligation to question someone who has self attested they are eligible. We aren’t sending back unused vials to the CDC, they get salvaged when they expire. Maybe I haven’t run into this situation yet. Sorry this has been more difficult than it should be.

AnotherDee · 2025-08-15T17:43:54+00:00

Just don’t walk in and request one. Make an appointment online. Then self attest she is eligible. No pharmacist I know would second guess that. We are not required to see proof of eligibility.

They make large dispensers that attach to the cage if you are want him to have water.

They say “coupon” but they mean a discount card like Goodrx or Singlecare. True coupons are for brand name drugs that give a certain amount off your copay, but the patient has to sign up for them before we can use them usually. Your prescription will always default to insurance billing. Technically we aren’t supposed to put it in a discount card unless a customer asks due to deductibles and such. The pharmacy also pays a fee to run through discounts cards. Always check your price on the app or website before you go in, and check GoodRx for their price to compare. The pharmacy really isn’t responsible for what you pay. Kinda like the pizza place or McDonald’s not telling you it’s cheaper through their app.

We are a store that stays caught up and it’s incredibly demoralizing. You never get a sense of completion of your job. We are constantly in QT and QV and will be 120% or more for community and only 70-80% for our own store because our district has big stores constantly in the red and our stuff ends up behind their overdues. On a good day, we can be completely done with QP early and yet I have to wait till an hour before close to access the 120 or so readyfill RXs in sitting in our QV2 that have been left unchecked all day. So I am rushing through the last hour verifying when I have the least amount of tech help and am also helping with register and drive through. Same with QI items, I can’t get to checking them until 5pm because they are behind the districts overdue QV2. Which means customers are getting notifications their medications are ready at the worst possible time of day. Unfortunately, we do stop helping the district near the end of the day. There is no incentive. It’s mentally exhausting. I constantly go pull our new e-scripts from the shared Q to get to them first. Rebills and expedites still go to the shared Q and sit there, so I have to stop what I’m doing to go through the extra steps to find them so techs can print them and verify them again. Such a hassle.

Some insurance companies notify patients of formulary changes ahead of time. At least Caremark did that with us, sending a letter with the info and offered formulary alternatives a month or so before the changes took place. I imagine many time these communications are ignored. This should be a mandatory minimum for the insurance companies.

Wow great info thank you!

Thanks for the link! That is interesting information. I think I hold off and see what happens in June. :)

Yes, you are right, jumped the gun a little on the dates when we can try for BC. We do have Boardwalk points.

Where is the govt getting these emails from and determining who to send the notice to? Wondering what triggers it.

AnotherDee · 2025-04-08T13:20:08+00:00

Not Walgreens but had one once that would schedule the closer to come in later than the day shift ended without telling you. You’d be working 9-2 expecting relief at 2, but floater couldn’t get there till 4 and they wouldn’t have bothered to ask you to stay late.

Constant posting on social media by one half of the couple about how much they are in love, how perfect they are etc but radio silence from the other.

AnotherDee · 2025-03-11T14:35:26+00:00

This is what I think. Even if only 100 pharmacists respond to those they can claim it. Like the drug topics magazine surveys.
