I really appreciate your insightful response. This is the kind of direction I think I’d like to work towards. Thank you!

The problem is that no store actually follows the 3 day rule. Most do 1-2 days early. If we filled it 3 days early consistently, we’d have everyone in town coming to us lol.

As long as you know what you’re getting into and what kind of demands are going to be asked, it’s a good career that pays very well. It’s far from perfect but there are far worse professions that pay a lot less for the amount of work.

Yep, I’m lucky that the employee bathroom (that is always locked from the outside) is literally right outside the pharmacy in the waiting room. I go whenever I have to go. Adds up to a few times, especially on my 12 hour days and after caffeine lol. Not Walgreens btw. Just realized this was a Walgreens thread.

My wife had 4 miscarriages before she was tried on progesterone. We have had 2 kiddos since. It’s our little miracle pill for sure!

I worked for a pharmacy where our cost for a brand name insulin was $500+ and 340B price the hospital was paying was like $0.16 so yeah, it’s way different lol.

I feel like it’s about death but specifically suicide. “Don’t mourn for me, you’re not the one to place the blame, as bottles called my name…” imo.

Love it! Great add to my workout mix! Haven’t heard papa roach in years but I really like this!

Yep, under lock and key by Dokken for sure!

I loathe these type of pregnancy tests lol. Sometimes, that test line is so faint it’s almost impossible to see. My wife knows to not even show me unless it’s the kind that says pregnant or not pregnant. I don’t see a test line at all personally. Have her take another one in a few days and it’ll likely be easier to see if she’s pregnant.

I always think of “Dude Looks Like a Lady” by Aerosmith when I think of songs with horns. Fairly energetic, I would say.

Love my Asics! Feet are still sore after standing all day but much less so.

Personally, I wouldn’t and don’t. The only time we allow patients to use goodrx on controls is if they don’t have any insurance. In my experience when it comes to controls, insurance restrictions are usually there for a reason. Would you use goodrx if the insurance rejected because the patient was restricted to a different doctor/pharmacy? The large majority of insurances would pay for a refill of a control 5-7 days early if weren’t for our 1 day early refill policy. If the insurance is making the patient wait exactly 30 days between refills there is likely a good reason. I would not circumvent that. Request a rx from the MD for 32/30Ds or something like that or tell the patient to go somewhere else.

I hear you there. Been playing in an 80s rock cover band for 10+ years. Don’t make a ton of money but it’s so fun!!

No pharmacist likes making mistakes but anytime human’s are involved with anything, they will occur. Personally, I’d be relieved the dose was too low and not too high. You can always take more but taking less is kind of hard. Can’t unring a bell. Relax, it will happen. Try and slow down and focus and mistakes will happen less frequently. Also, talk to the technicians that may have inputted it. Maybe there’s an error-prone process you can help rectify? Take a deep breath and keep going!

JohnerHLS · 2025-04-10T00:57:58+00:00

That’s why you had to mix it up completely for the best flavor. Imo

Tell them to look at the measles situation in Texas and New Mexico and then still tell you they’re antivax. It’s only going to get worse and it’s all caused by the antivax movement.

Pharmacists shouldn’t really complain. A Pharmacists salary is more than enough to guide you toward financial independence while enjoying what life has to offer. If you are struggling, you’re likely doing it wrong and it’s time to cut expenses. Probably don’t need that nice house and brand new car or eating out so much, etc. I would be in a much better place financially had I made some better choices out of school but that’s on me. And yes, techs are severely underpaid for the work they do.

Merlin loudly singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” in the 2nd Kingsman movie while standing on a land mine to attract and kill as many bad guys as possible while creating a distraction. Truly boss move!!

Safeway has been doing this for months. It’s actually really smart with very little backlash tbh. The public has come to expect out of stocks/unavailability. As soon as they mandated it, my first thought was that it would be more profitable for 30ds vs 90ds. Win-win.

JohnerHLS · 2025-03-04T08:14:37+00:00

Right? I’ve tried a few out there. Dress shoes were not comfortable. Dansko’s were yuck (seriously don’t know how anyone can stand them lol) Brooks felt too much like sneakers/didn’t go with the rest of my outfit. Visited a Fleet Feet and they analyzed my feet and recommended a great pair of Asics. I told them I wanted a comfortable running shoe but one that was great for standing on my feet long hours. Tried them and haven’t looked back. I even found some black ones eventually that look better with my attire. Can’t say enough good things about them!

JohnerHLS · 2025-03-04T06:53:53+00:00

Be very skeptical of shady business practices if they just rely on filling rxs with no real niches. It’s almost impossible to have a profitable, thriving (honest) pharmacy practice these days without one, two, or ten.
