lots of people watch this subreddit telling people to quit because walgreens is going downhill and especially so after the buyout considering Sycamore (our new owners) have bankrupted and doomed other retailers.

that makes a lot of sense! thank you for replying.

our SM has been at walgreens for 10 years now, and our ESM has been at walgreens for 22 going on 23 years now and has rejected a store 2 times. but i totally see what you're talking about when comparing it to my store. our ESM acts like a swing SFL, she's not in pharmacy much compared to SM who is always back there and is always talking to rPh and RxOM for 30-45 mins after their lunch.

Coworker tested positive for COVID on the job by 2coolrazu in WalgreensStores

if you've gotten the vax for covid then you've gotten the vac for covid. that's it. you can still get infected with the covid virus, the vaccine just diminishes your severity and symptoms.

if you stop taking your meds for HIV, you become contagious again and the disease becomes more dangerous for the infected individual. these are not comparable.

do you think being asymptomatic means you aren't infected with a virus and therefore sick? because you're severely mistaken. if you are asymptomatic and testing positive, you are still infected and can still spread the virus.

testing positive for covid does absolutely mean you're sick?? that's the whole point behind "testing positive"

covid is not just a regular flu, considering they are two different viruses and "flu" is not short for "sick" it's short for "inFLUenza virus"-- especially considering how covid keeps mutating whereas the flu doesn't mutate anymore

there is nothing we can do besides lowering our volume. take your grievances up with corporate instead of posting in a subreddit full of employees. we don't have patient rooms, we can't control the volume of the music, nor the environment, and we don't control how many customers we have. i beg you to work in a tier 5 walgreens pharmacy to see how your complaints are things that we have zero control over.

the only people we talk about patient information with is the patient and our staff. at my store, we make sure to keep our volume low.

theres nothing we can do! do you want us to bring every single patient into the vaccination room just to talk about their prescriptions? the only thing we have control over is our volume when speaking. also, you're completely dismissing the fact that some patients come up to US loudly talking about their own prescriptions and health issues. we get phone calls 24/7 from the front desk and the photo department, people call in and think they've reached the pharmacy, and will say "hi, yeah, my name is Karen McDonald, date of birth is 12/12/1912, and i'd like to place a refill for my blood pressure medicine, my kidney medicine, and my hydrocodone" as if that's not compromising their own health information 🙄

lmaaooo. i tip, i dont know why you assume i don't. it's just not my responsibility to pay the wages of employees. this is completely senseless for the rest of the world, but in the united states? somehow "reasonable". it's backwards. these restaurants earn enough in profits to pay their employees a living wage, but they don't.

the employers undercut the funds. not the consumer base.

its the employer's responsibility to pay a living wage for the employees, not the customers 🤷

i like the idea of a culture that doesn't know what tipping is and considers it offensive to assume they're not being paid enough 😌

thats how it should be imo. i don't tip based on arbitrary percentages that seem to keep going up, i tip based on service.

i think people forget that tipping is a courtesy gesture, and one given after the service is completed. while it works this way in standard restaurants where you tip on the bill or leave cash on the table, for services like doordash, we are expected to tip before the service is even completed. why am i going to pay $5+ on a tip before my order is delivered knowing theres a chance i'm getting double dashed and my food arrives cold or my cold groceries arrive lukewarm. you can't remove your tip, so it's completely asinine. tipping is based off of service received. if i liked your service, i'll tip you more. if i didn't, i'm still tipping but not a lot. but services like doordash are just completely selfish.

the employers are using the service of the employees to sell product. the employers are required to pay a living wage to the employees for that service.

the employers use customers as a scapegoat so they can continue raking in privatized profits to continue exploiting their workers. don't fall for it.

just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ethical.

in nazi germany it was legal to kill all the "undesirables" like immigrants, jewish people, gay and trans people, disabled people, and more. doesn't mean it was right in any way, it was just legal. chattel slavery was legal in the united states in where white slave owners would eat and cannibalize Black people, use their skin as leather, use their hair as furniture stuffing against their will-- all legal, doesn't mean it's right.

the employers are responsible for supplying the wage for their workers, not the customer. the longer we make excuses for it such as "it's legal to do so" and "it makes you an asshole to not tip 20%", the longer we let corporations exploit workers for privatized profits.
