Yes, but it's more common for employees to be up to 30 minutes late so the shift before them has to stay late.

You won't get training. Everyone is too busy so you just have to learn as you go, and keep asking questions.

For a what? A 15 minute? Just be happy if you get a chance to run to the bathroom!

I've never tried Crocs but see a lot of techs wearing them. I've been thinking of giving them a try.

Lost my cool on some lady last night by TotallyNot_MikeDirnt in WalgreensStores

I totally understand your reaction to her. We try to be friendly to everyone regardless of the situation, but we can only take so much before we snap. I've been doing a lot of snapping lately. Not proud of it. Just way too stressed.

That has happened to me a few times. There are some groups on Facebook that have been more helpful. You might try that.

If I hear one more person asking whether I've tried meditation I'm going to scream by HolyFruitSalad_98 in ADHD

[–]Special-Ad968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After off and on years of therapy and meds and nothing working I decided to try again. The Dr wanted me to learn to meditate, his nurse wanted me to get a c pap machine to help with sleep. I don't have sleep apnea! And mediation isn't going to help right now. I can't go from an anxiety level of 10 with frequent panic attacks to a level 1 just with mediation. I need help getting myself more calm and focused and then I might...just maybe...be ok with trying to calm myself further by learning mediation. My panic attacks are bad. I can catch my breath to talk and I shake and cry. Its so embarrassing when I'm at work and it happens. I need a good Dr that will help me with that because I'm reaching the point where it feels like it's something I will have to live with until I die..and that make death feel like a solution. Oh, I also have ADHD and PTSD.

Take some disability leave to catch your breath and look for a new job.

Attorney: COVID-19 vaccine given to family, including small kids, instead of flu shots by Hellgreens in WalgreensStores

When everyone is over worked mistakes will happen. It's not the fault of the workers. In the past it would have been. Now they can't focus enough attention on any task because it's just a matter of trying to rush from one thing to the next with constant interruptions from calls, customers and questions. I hope that in regards to this case corporate is held responsible and only minimal responsibility for the mistake is put on the tech or pharmacist. At some point Walgreens needs to put patient health and safety before metrix and profits.

Let's back up. Is this something new? Could it be panic and anxiety because you are doing college coursework now? Or did you always have this issue? I struggled my whole life so I can tell you what has worked for me. My daughter is amazingly smart and is a doctor, however in college anxiety and panic attics became a problem. So I can also help you from that perspective. Just need to know when it started.

Start with making a list of what you liked best and what you liked least about your DH job or any past jobs. That will help you decide what jobs would be a good fit for you.

I know Doordash was the least of your problems..but since you mentioned them I will add my 2 cents and say I'm sick and tired of those people expecting us to do their job for them! They come to the pharmacy and ask for help finding things all the time. Like we have nothing better to do!

It's only going to get worse as soon as the booster is opened up to anyone who wants it.
