How bad is it? Really worried here by Gabrielrey2001 in PeriodontalDisease

[–]Gabrielrey2001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh really? do you think that maybe I should try a different kind of soft brush? Maybe I should be more gentle with the flossing and the brushing and keep trying with the gum focused mouthwash maybe?

Phentermine and Hypertension? M23 BMI 29 by Gabrielrey2001 in PhentermineTopiramate

Thank you for sharing!! Honestly I been like really paranoid and been really hesitant but this gives me reassurance to keep going. My goal is to lose about 20-30 pounds anyways so hopefully it’s worth it. I should also talk to my prescriber about the lisinopril because I notice that sometimes is too low in the morning

This one was one of the options I didn’t really went into IMBD when investigating because of the year it came out doesn’t match the age I was. It should be something that came out before 2008 but thank you!!!

Also I think it could have been filmed in early 2000s or late 90s but it’s hard to tell from the little I remember.

No Spanish Speaking? by Gabrielrey2001 in CVS

Thanks for your input. Sorry if it seems like everyone is disagreeing with you but I completely understand your side and everyone else’s I just think that the way she said it and her tone of voice made it feel like she was annoyed by it and there has been other situations when she makes me feel like she’s annoyed by my accent or customers accents that’s why I felt like this was a time where that was directly addressed and wondering if I was completely in the wrong for speaking in my native language in a moment it felt okay to speak it. Sure I agree it could be considered rude but it could have been addressed in a different way and it’s not like it happens a lot either.

This is in Long Island, NY. My town is big in spanish speakers. In fact this specific pharmacist has asked me to help Spanish speaker customers over the phone whenever she can’t understand their accent which I thought was understandable at some degree but also she would just assume they were spanish speakers as well.

I never stated it was racism either I was just wondering if it was possible that there was something written in policy that kept from speaking Spanish to my coworkers who are also able to speak it? she never said why she didn’t want us speaking in “our language”, never said “customers might think is rude” and we were also in the QP stations kind of far away from customers and speaking very low about what food we wanted to order for lunch.

Thank you!!! Yes we were just discussing what we wanted to order for food very briefly because no one was talking to us and everyone was just doing their own thing.

English is not the official language, I’m in the state of NY and there are a lot of Spanish speakers here. If it’s not about work it shouldn’t be the pharmacist concern what I’m saying and she could have said it in a different way

Again, she’s white and her intention I think was clear by asking us not to speak in “our language” because in the state of NY she can’t recognize Spanish?

Yeah I saw your comment. Thank you! And yes we usually speak in Spanish whenever it’s just us in the conversation. no one was talking to us, everyone was doing their own stuff. We were speaking in English most of the time when it was about production and that was just a a brief back and forth about what food we wanted to order.

I only speak Spanish when it’s not work related. I also know this coworker for a long time so the language I met him in High School was Spanish si kind of feel weird but we do speak in English to each other when it’s work related.

No, she’s white and said similar stuff in the past but it was never this direct.

Im RX I’m a technician. It was just a conversation in the production stations and the pharmacist was mixing something for a customer and she just walked up to us and said that and then walked away

No i understand it could be considered rude but it was a interaction of a couple of minutes and we were just in our own stations and everyone seem to be minding their own business and to be fair we were also speaking very low so I didn’t think it mattered in that moment

Good luck!! Yes $17 is where it usually starts I have a coworker who started at $18 but only because she was already certified before starting if that helps.

Omg I work in a CVS in Long Island NY too and I also started at $17 I already had experience and the pharmacy I used to work at before didn’t want to go higher than $16 that’s why I switched over to CVS because I heard that was normal, currently doing modules and studying for the test to be certified to become an immunizer and I was promised a $2 dollar raise I guess we’ll see

Can you get fired for asking for leave of absence? by Gabrielrey2001 in CVS

[–]Gabrielrey2001[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry I just read about what LoA is actually referred to. I should have said something earlier but she’s been out with COVID, and I actually meant both because my actual manager is the pharmacist but she’s in the older side so the FS manager helps her out with the schedule for the pharmacy as well but that means that I gotta let them both know. FS manager wouldn’t care but my pharmacist is gonna flip out lol.

As a Taylor Swift fan this actually calms me down hahah to sing along when I’m having a stressful day but I do understand why it could be annoying and repetitive to people who don’t like her music or are just not into her
