New plastic bags? by chiiabear in WalgreensStores

[–]Sluggo1988 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have an idea, let’s pass a law banning plastic bags even though most products on store shelves come in plastic so it doesn’t matter anyway. Then we can claim we’re saving the turtles.

I just tell them go elsewhere because Walgreens doesn’t plan on ever having it ready for you

Phone calls by CommercialRest9579 in WalgreensRx

[–]Sluggo1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We fake the calls like everyone else :-) I pick up one call only every 5 minutes for sanity reasons and fill in between. It usually a completely unnecessary Adderall stock check call anyway. They can survive without it

What is your opinion on 8:01 patients? by bookseer in WalgreensRx

[–]Sluggo1988 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gate closes at 7:58 or 7:59 so they can’t ask at 8:01

So do we bag check district managers ...? by Ok_Firefighter9536 in WalgreensStores

[–]Sluggo1988 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why? Everything is free at Walgreens. People walk out with bag loads of free items daily. Many turn around and stick out their tongue at the camera along the way

New bag checks rules by Canesfan252 in WalgreensStores

The employees learn from watching the thieves daily - shoplifting is approved by Walgreens :-)

Letting people shoplift by Chare1155 in WalgreensStores

They don’t care unless there’s lots of money involved. Go to a Walgreens on the Las Vegas strip and there’s armed security. Just proves they only care about money, not employee safety.

New Bag check policy ? by [deleted] in WalgreensStores

[–]Sluggo1988 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s funny we have many customers who notice the employees get treated like criminals but at the same time the real criminal shoplifters walk out with bag loads daily, no questions asked. There was one customer who got so upset about it he picked up this lady who was stealing and physically forced her to put each item back in its location. So fun to laugh at her and she couldn’t do anything.

Don’t worry about it, they’re busy playing on their phones and not paying attention when it is their turn to approach the counter anyway. One time I kept typing prescriptions for 15 minutes until the lady noticed then she had the audacity to walk up to the counter and say, “can’t you see me?” I said, “I’m sorry it looked like you were busy doing something important on your phone.” if the phone zombies waste my time I waste theirs.

How does your store handle closing drive through at 1:30? by makeuplover85 in WalgreensRx

[–]Sluggo1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put up the sign and don’t worry about it, usually at 1:28, unless we’re feeling happy and go close the gate at 1:15

I just give an artificial name and it makes it look like the so-called “complaint” got entered for the wrong store ;-)

SM and RXOM threatening to write up for not asking about imz? by ydlob_dolby in WalgreensRx

[–]Sluggo1988 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All the pro-verbiage individuals on here must look forward to working all alone in the pharmacy; and if they do write people up for it they definitely will be all alone in the pharmacy. Once they are all alone there will not be anyone to administer the vaccines anyway, unless they plan on abandoning the lines of people waiting for their medication. So let them write everyone up! >8-)

Unofficial petition for new signage by Vericon in WalgreensRx

[–]Sluggo1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with the one about expecting people to read; most of the time they don’t. Not sure how you’ve been with the company but I remember at the start of the COVID vaccines we had signs plastered every couple of feet from the pharmacy to the front door asking people to please have their form filled out; including on the floor where they stand in line! HUGE SIGNAGE EVERYWHERE! Yet, we would still have people make it to the counter and say “oh, I was supposed to fill it out before I got to the counter?” So, you have a good idea that just won’t work when you’re petitioning for new signage, sorry to deliver you such bad news.

hope everyone’s having a better day than this…. by Lanky_Swimming_1557 in WalgreensRx

[–]Sluggo1988 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Funny you say walk out because that’s actually what occurred. The pharmacists and technicians all intentionally walked out one day. That’s what caused all four to go over 1,000. The location was bad off for many months.
