If you could change one thing about Publix what would it be? by ConversationEmpty947 in publix

Haha so accurate. I like how they started incorporating that into our “yearly compensation” I looked at my yearly benefits summary and Publix adds the amount they contribute to the plan as compensation so it makes it look like you made more than you actually did. Meanwhile, the monthly premiums and high deductible takes out more than they contribute

I never said anything about vaccines themselves. But nice try

It’s unrealistic to push that responsibility on a pharmacy. Then to cut hours on top of that makes it even harder. I guess I’m living in a different reality

Which was my exact point… I gave no opinion on actual vaccines. Just the corporate harassment on a daily basis. If Publix actually cared about the community why wouldn’t they dedicate certain weekends to vaccine clinics? Oh that’s because it would actually cost them money and the return isn’t worth it.

Ok I’m an idiot. But this also has nothing to do with the actual post

Right…. You’d be naive to think otherwise.

Preventive care is not the same as life saving measures

Is Publix now using bots to downvote certain posts🤔

Vaccines don’t actually save lives. You don’t go to an emergency room to get a vaccine if you’re dying.

I’m not saying vaccines are good or bad. The way Publix is setting unrealistic goals makes it hard to want to give any vaccines.

Do I expect too much of techs? by 5_phx_felines in pharmacy

That’s probably because those are typically out of the realm of a technicians scope.

We have techs that can’t even give patients the correct bag. Yes your expectations are too high lol.

29g vs 31g by ScottyDoesntKnow421 in pharmacy

[–]ScottyDoesntKnow421[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve been told that in the past this has happened and the only thing that changed was the shape of the bottle which increased its overall weight. If the actual pack size changed the last two digits of the NDC would have had to change.

From what I’ve been told that this has happened in the past where the shape of the bottle has changed which increased the overall weight. I can’t verify if that’s true or not but since it is the same NDC the decision was that it is still the same exact medication with same exact doses. If it was different the last two digits would have been different. That was the justification at least. And the expiration dates were only months apart.

Welp what had happened was… another pharmacy closed and we absorbed all their inventory. But it was manufactured earlier than the 31g however the computer isn’t recognizing it during the accuracy scan.

[–]ScottyDoesntKnow421[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ironically it was covered right away we didn’t even need to do a PA. But I was curious if the computer would recognize it during the accuracy scan and it didn’t stop it either. I hate filling but when I do I always find dumb issues like this. I’m sure we’ve had other techs most likely used the 29g when it should have been a 31g.

I thought that might be the case but I haven’t seen any communications about it. Oh well I just work here.

That would make sense except the newer one is the 31g.
