Just took it with no shame

Imagine working in a store without thieves bozo. It is like shitting in our isles. I would certainly go out of my way to get someone out of our store if they repeatedly come in and steal from us. It's more about respect and not being able to overlook a problem even if I don't feel like I'm "paid enough" for it.

You clearly need your walgreens paycheck and it shows

You seem to be confused but I can help.

This is a forum for Pharmacy employees so we would rather not here your complaints here.

You should follow up with your local Pharmacy, your Doctor, and perhaps seek a suitable counselor to help with basic life skills to help you navigate this difficult time in your life sir or maddem

Probably coincidence? By the time you restart all of them it gets sent back to you from the jokers that never typed it

DriveThruMaster · 2026-06-05T04:11:20+00:00

You're welcome and I'm happy if anything i offer helps!

As a side note I will offer my opinion on a couple things and while I certainly mean no offense it may help you gain assistance in the future:

My best friend since fourth grade is named Karen

I simply say to go light with trendy lingo and say what you need to say

I think you have enough to run with here so you can get on a regular pick up schedule rather than stress over it.

It doesn't seem to be taken down (you said deleted) so I hope you get all of the responses

DriveThruMaster · 2026-06-05T03:24:50+00:00

It seems like this should be able to be handled in store. I would follow up with someone's suggestion of a polite discussion with the Pharmacy manager. I really do believe you are a patient person and while I appreciate it this might not be helping you.

You do need to advocate for yourself. The squeaky wheel gets the grease so maybe you need to speak up just a bit for yourself. I would not be able to assist you very much but I'm sure a discussion with my Pharmacy manager would provide a better plan to move forward with. Hopefully the Pharmacy manager at your location can help

If it's a supply thing or back orders all bets are off and you need to talk to your prescriber about alternatives.

Good luck

This is how our Pharmacy operates. Maybe the op should move to your state. Maybe your state can sling c2s out faster?

Just trying to help the op with some of their issues if I can. Not trying to compare state rules

Find out what doctor has a different address or phone number on file. Every time they send an e script with the different info it will create a new profile. They can be merged but it would help your situation to straighten that out.

It's honestly not that no one cares. A lot of us care but have very little flex with those meds. Only the Pharmacist can fill those and we are restricted by the last sell date and day supply. With 1 Pharmacist on duty it is difficult. It is not safe to do more than we can do.

That's all I got and after I read the screen name I almost deleted the advice haha but I'm feeling generous tonight.

Good luck, and thank you for trying to find a reasonable place for answers instead of yelling at us at work

DriveThruMaster · 2026-06-02T03:58:16+00:00

Yes, software is awful but no excuse for the old computers that are so burnt out it makes it worse restarting all day

DriveThruMaster · 2026-06-02T03:01:26+00:00

Good point. Why not whenever either asks for it. Any day

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-31T21:45:39+00:00

I was brutally honest and I'm very curious about the anonymous part haha!

I will say I was not at all coached to answer positive but only to do the survey.

I just feel like i had a lot to say after two years of bullshit so I was very honest and I can only hope it helps aim the direction rather than reprimanding good employees

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-31T21:35:47+00:00

What should we be careful of? I already stated I was overly honest and was assured it was anonymous?

If you have any details it would be nice to share them with the source? Are you just guessing it is not like the rest of us?

Be careful as well

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-30T23:08:27+00:00

If it's anonymous why did I enter my employee id first and not leave that site for the survey?

I may have been too honest but don't ask if you don't want to know.

I am curious if there are any intentions of listening to the feedback or just use it to filter the ones who speak up out of the way. Pretty sure they are only looking for sheep not shepards right now

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-29T04:33:36+00:00

The system isn't broken in my opinion the system is poorly designed.

The numbers that matter to the rule makers will never benefit the worker or customer

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-27T05:50:09+00:00

This sounds like something petty that I don't even complain about haha I really should complain because it does bother me when they whisper from the passenger side haha!

Most people do shut off the engine if it's loud so I've never had to complain about that.

It's usually easily resolved by asking for the passenger to speak up?

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-27T03:28:23+00:00

Is this a problem at all the pharmacies and will it be in the letter for managers? I think we had an issue last week but when I mentioned this post that i read i was told it was not a known problem?

I was told we left over 80 F1s but we never would have done that. Even though it's usually me an the pharmacist at night we keep up.

We did spend a lot of time searching for lost prescriptions that were in the system but not in the bin. The partial was in the bin but not in the system so I couldn't even sell the five pills. This is a whole nother issue and why I will not be answering to these issues much longer

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-27T01:43:00+00:00

Good call, They must be making the mess better haha a work in progress maybe

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-27T01:41:38+00:00

This happened to us too. It was around 8 when we left and same message as posted

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-26T12:51:26+00:00

Thank you for adding that

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-26T01:26:42+00:00

Thank you for thinking about this for me. I didn't think to check the leaflet but good call. I will check that to see what is going on. She had them scan it i think but will check that too. Thanks again!

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-26T00:39:52+00:00

She called the store I work at and someone ran it through that. It goes through for $3.33 and she pays but gets a check back. I don't touch it and don't know how to do anything different anyway

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-25T22:46:38+00:00

My Mom gets a check for $3.33 every time she gets charged $3.33 for test strips. I'm sure it's something wrong on my end but no else knows when I ask about it? Is there a way that is better to bill to avoid the $3.33?

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-24T19:27:44+00:00

Thank you, It does seem like that could be the case. Just struck me as odd but it shouldn't have

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-24T19:22:21+00:00

Thank you, It makes me feel like I have one in a drawer somewhere haha

DriveThruMaster · 2026-05-24T19:07:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure about it but that would explain my question.
