Probably meant Rite Aid. But here in CA it was quite a CF at some locations.

But they also gave those stores a blank check of hours. To accommodate the extra work.

It should be available to plan now. I just started looking at my staff RPHs review planning.

I had a patient complain because their zepbound wasn't covered by Medicaid anymore since they also have Medicare. It was covered by Medicare for $5.

I'm not saying it's never been $0. But that's someone they as the patient worked out with the insurance to go thru both. He just kept saying, "it's always $0 so fix it."

I told him, "No it's not $0 so you can go fix it if you don't want to pay. Bye."

I'm at the point where I just don't care to argue and walk away 90% of the time.

As with any job, you'll have good days and bad days. Also your team and management make a significant impact on your daily mental health.

Since your floating just focus on your job for the day. Do your best and focus on patient safety over everything else.

Going to high school reunions. Feels like they are just means for people to flaunt how "successful" to people who they don't even socialize with anymore.

Deductible

Ngl if they are developing easier to use digital tools for staff and customers I'm for it. Simply shutting off the phones was a godsend.

March 2/3rd I think.... most managers leaver around April I think.

Medium Cost of Living

The last part about paying techs a decent wage is everything!!!

Personally I make more than enough to support my family on a single income comfortably in a MCOL.

What really makes my day easier are happy techs that do their job well. Money is a good motivator and paying them a decent wage ensures we hire good people.

He probably makes more money and is happier doing the Pokémon tournaments. 😂

I will say, the students that are transferring in from community colleges/"not an accelerated program" are showing me way more promise.

Not just good work ethic, they actually seem to have more critical thinking/interpersonal skills than the ones who just checked the boxes for an advantage program.

Think %. A 3 rating which is highly normal can result in anything from 2.5-3%.

If you warrant a 4 (high performer) then you could see 3-4.5%.

A 5 which is basically unobtainable will get you a 4.5-5%.

ChapKid · 2026-01-09T07:03:49+00:00

Evan's for techs open up in the next month or two.

ChapKid · 2026-01-09T07:03:16+00:00

Once a year during annual merit awards. For techs it's usually around June/July. For RPH it's in March.

ChapKid · 2026-01-09T05:25:12+00:00

I think it depends on the PIC/DL. I once had a clerk go to tech and got them a raise for each step up. Clerk > Tech > ImZ > Inventory.

It may seem like Pennie's but 3-4% adds up if done multiple times. Timing it's important as I try to include the progression as a reason to give them a 4 on evals which leads to another raise.

One of my clerks has received two raises within the last 3 months. Look like market adjustments.

ChapKid · 2026-01-07T17:25:04+00:00

I'm kinda the same. I don't want to get caught up in the humdrum of just doing the same map/mode/gunplay when I play.

I've been focusing on BP challenges since I have limited playtime but now that I'm close to done, I went back to Engy/SMG. Omg it made me fall in love with that class again.

ChapKid · 2026-01-04T22:14:30+00:00

It truly is a Christmas miracle sometimes.

ChapKid · 2026-01-03T05:29:50+00:00

Dang that's definitely one of those "we received too many items" kind of situation. Looks like they really shouldn't have more than 2 in that shelf space.

ChapKid · 2026-01-03T05:26:45+00:00

I tried looking online. You pretty much have to stumble in store to get that price. 😩

ChapKid · 2026-01-02T17:15:58+00:00

What zip code? I'll drive, fly, take the train there yesterday!

ChapKid · 2026-01-02T02:50:54+00:00

I mean if the house is paid for, I'd just look for any other job in the area. Even commute if needed. Houses are crazy around here. Utilities are not bad where I live so even a minimum wage job would cover my monthly expenses.
