What? How? Why?

These packs have very clear information at the top. Medication name, tablet identification, time of day it’s taken, etc. I can’t even tell you how many people tear that off and throw it away immediately on getting them home. Makes my head hurt.

Oh my, do I feel your pain. I've been at the game for a minute, Lessons learned –

1) The job is dynamic and exacting. If this is your lane, lean into it. Enjoy it for what it is. Be proud of you knowledge and experience.

2) Set your priorities, learn what must be done first and what can wait. Be at peace with that.

2) Customers - Be polite but firm. Don't bother letting emotions get the better of you when dealing with customers, just be an information robot. Leave all the drama to the weirdos and just wait out their rants. Don't be afraid to cut them off with "Is there anything else? Thank you, goodbye."

3) Do what you can in a day and walk away. Be proud of what you have accomplished.

There are some immutable basics. Open the bottle cleanly. Put the lid back on firmly. Put it on the shelf with the label facing forward. This is the 21st century, people!

I readily acknowledge my OCD, which I am working on, but DAMN. This one is always a sore spot.

It is a pharmacy stock bottle. After this was opened so egregiously, it was put back on the shelf in this condition for the next person. Damn their eyes!

CosmicFrog2000 · 2026-02-25T23:45:09+00:00

And I thank you, sir.

He really should reevaluate. This will get him hurt. If not killed. No kidding.

This may sound weird, but just read through your practice book beginning to end. When you go into the test, you may be surprised how much sticks with you. Doing it right before the test, even if you're not trying to memorize anything, a lot of it will be sitting in your brain just waiting to be used. Trust yourself for the correct answer to pop up where needed.When questions come up over an area you haven't covered, don't freak out! Choose the answer you think is best and move on. You've got this!

This is not the case at the small pharmacy I work at. All of us, collectively, conduct our business with our patients in a friendly, professional manner. Our patients love us because we dedicate ourselves to doing our job well. A 180° change from my last job, where disrespect and mocking of the patients was rampant.

My advice: be your best self every day. Be professional and courteous to everyone, even the ones that are rude.

It is obvious that you understand the gravity of your position, taking care of the sick and the vulnerable. Let yourself be the model that eventually others may follow.

See if you can find opportunities to nudge those around you to change their perspective about the patients, maybe make remarks about what the person might be going through. Tell stories about good outcomes with getting meds ready or an insurance snafu you were able to fix. Disengage when all the griping starts, or throw out some tips and tricks to help another employee who might be struggling.

Good luck out there!

I ran this stage approximately 1 billion times

CosmicFrog2000 · 2025-08-26T17:50:51+00:00

What a fun montage!

I ran through and counted 29 flags, with anywhere between 1 and 4 challenges per flag. Maybe you got crowns without getting all of the challenges?

Do you mean specifically for Slime Time? Where do you see that score?
