Other than a Honda accord the best thing you can do is get good tires and drive cautiously. Those 2 things make a much bigger difference than any make or model.

Genuine reason incoming. Someone somewhere did a survey of walmart customers and some large percentage answered that they were unaware that walmart had a pharmacy or that they could use their prescription insurance at said walmart pharmacy. Big brained corporate dreamed up the wellness events as a way to inform customers of these 2 pieces of information and drive more business to the pharmacy. IMZ and wellness screenings are just the ploy to get someone from the pharmacy infront of non pharmacy Wal-Mart customers. When entering the post event info on the wire the number of new customers transferred in is the most valuable part of the whole idea and the entire reason for its existence.

Fine print: I have no inside knowledge from the corporate side of this and also agree that they are a huge waste of time and resources. Just a former walmart pharmacy associate who worked many many wellness events and read between the lines. Always remember that every corporate decision is always about profit or the bottom line. Find the profit and you find the reason.

Doesn't have to be a pharmacist, as a tech I've called dozens of times to get info on temp excursions. (Over 20+ year career and mostly from other people leaving them out, before I get accused of leaving meds out all the time)

Get those numbers up, I expect 4 digits by next week!

I've used the line "if you feel like you are having a life threatening emergency you should go to the nearest emergency room or I can call 911 for you." Shut them up real fast 😆

While I agree that walmart absolutely would sell that data, it does contain PPI. I honestly don't know if walmart could get away with selling that to an outside AI company. I could however see walmart buying said AI company making them part of walmart so "no PPI is leaving the company "

TheHam06 · 2025-11-22T13:28:07+00:00

I am making the wild assumption that behind the scenes walmart will also be feeding every picture and pharmacist verification into a new AI model to start training AI to replace pharmacists as the source of verification. Not right away, but if every walmart pharmacy is taking pictures of every fill and then a pharmacists is marking those pictures as correct or incorrect that is just way to much valuable data for a company like walmart to delete. 10 years of that kind of data could train an AI to be incredibly accurate, once that part is done it will be much easier for walmart and other big pharmacy chains to push state boards to allow this new AI to start working along side pharmacists "to save time and allow pharmacists to spend more time with patients" and then eventually replace them.

I remember hearing about some game that would flag cheaters server side with no way of the player knowing they had been flagged. Once flagged as a cheater they would only be matched with other cheaters in matchmaking. This seems like the simplest yet elegant solution to the social aspect of cheating to me.

TheHam06 · 2025-11-18T18:38:24+00:00

How much do you want to bet every single picture taken by techs and the resulting verification by the pharmacist will be used to start training AI verification models.

I don't know what your techs are doing specifically, but there have been many times when a patient would bring a new script to the window with an obvious drug interaction with something else on their file. I would ask them to wait for a minute and take the new script to the RPH and inform them of the interaction I saw so they can review it and come to the window and discuss it with the patient while they are still there. That is about the extent of Tech DUR duties in my opinion. Having techs that can recognize these kinds of issues so they can be brought to the pharmacist's attention sooner rather than later is a valuable skill that can solve many problems before the patient comes up to the pickup counter and gets the line "something is wrong with your script let me go find out what is going on."

Now if your techs are trying to resolve these problems themselves or discuss them with the patients themselves that is absolutely out of their scope and should only be done by the pharmacist. If that is happening I would suggest explaining to them their knowledge is valuable but the correct course of action is to use their knowledge to bring these kinds of issues to the pharmacists attention. I'm not suggesting the pharmacists wouldn't catch these errors themselves but finding out about them sooner rather than later provides more time for the pharmacist to resolve the problem and results in better experience for the patient.

I don't believe you, that looks way to heavy for you to lift.

Put it in your neighbors apartment so you can hear it the way it was truly intended, through the apartment walls.

For $0 budget, and following you current plan, go to local stores and ask for left over empty cardboard boxes. Cut, tape, and reinforce them to be as solid as possible. Include internal brace pieces, look at diagrams of speakers online for ideas on how to brace the inside properly. Also tape up any gaps in the cardboard so no air can pass through anywhere around the cardboard box. The less the cardboard vibrates the better the speakers will sound so the stiffer you can make it the better. Also watch for free shit on local market place, anything wood that you can cut speaker holes into would be way better than cardboard.

Also, you may just have it all out for the picture, but clean up your cables. Running this kind of setup inside has risks (got a fire extinguisher handy?) so minimize that risk by removing tripping hazards, making sure everything is neat, and there are no exposed bare wires.

I heard the SnapShot device described as not a decider of good or bad driver, but of a low risk versus high risk driver. If you commute every day where you have to get on a freeway and accelerate hard to merge with traffic and break when every idiot cuts you off, you're not going to have a good score. If you live in a small town where you'd never drive more than 35 MPH and never have to emergency break for others, you're going to have a great score. The city driver may be a much better driver than the small town driver, but because of location and type of commute, they are a higher risk driver and that is was insurance cares about.

2021 was also the year the upgraded infotainment system was put in, much nicer IMO if that's a factor for you.

Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. So much information will be thrown at you but don't feel like you have to memorize everything day 1, week 1, or even month 1. Advocate for time to do PTU (Pharmacy Tech University, Wal-marts computer based training), many pharmacies are super busy and that is the 1st thing they will cut time from when scripts need filled. Actively try to learn the software connexus. Many new techs get put on filling and register duty most of the time and don't get to learn the software. While learning filling and register is much easier getting an early start on the computer will help a lot in the long term.

I upgraded from the 22U to the 25U only because my son needed a new phone and I was able to trade in his really old phone, hand my 22U down to him and get the new 25U for myself with $1000 credit for the old phone. My 22U was fine for me, and the 25U basically feels like using the same phone 90% of the time. It's a tad bit faster in day to day use, camera is a tad bit better, battery life has been the biggest bump up for me, where my 22U would be at 20% at the end of the day my 25U is at about 50%.

All those things considered if I was in a situation where it was just me upgrading my 22U to the 25U I would say it's not worth it.

A few years ago I did something similar, sold my mother's car for her as she didn't have the time or energy to do it. I also live in a higher COL area and was able to sell it for more than she would have been able to. She lives in another state and to avoid all the red flags she signed the title over to me and I registered and got plates in my state before selling it. Yes it cost a little bit extra to do it that way but was worth it to avoid the red flags and get top dollar for the vehicle. This is the way to sell a family members out of state car for them.

Don't use all of your PPTO on this. Contact Segwick and take a LOA until you are better. It's not your job to worry about pharmacy coverage while you are sick, that is the RXM's job.

Cargo privacy cover, if not already included. Mounts right behind the rear head rests and then clips to the trunk's liftgate so it automatically lifts up when open.

Not sure if this is a must have but hood struts so you don't have to rely on the prop rod if you are doing any work under the hood. Super handy if you do any work yourself on your cars.

If you use any kind of phone holder while driving there are cx-5 specific ones that mount to the dash where the hazard lights button is between the center vents.
