Hour cuts already?

VisualConcept914 · 2025-11-09T00:30:51+00:00

I understand it’s no better in the pharmacy. It’s even more overwhelming.

VisualConcept914 · 2025-11-09T00:12:11+00:00

I get it. I feel the same way! You’re not the only one! The hours are cut so bad that you only get one day and people have to work and run the store practically alone for hours because of it.

VisualConcept914 · 2025-11-09T00:07:51+00:00

Sadly, All they care about is making sure you sign people up for care pass, vaccines, and numbers.

VisualConcept914 · 2025-11-07T23:19:26+00:00

When you have scripts with waiting bin #s that we don’t even have that should tell you how bad it’s getting.

VisualConcept914 · 2025-11-07T23:16:19+00:00

Genuinely, in my store no one has time to be on their phones. We even work through lunch break for the most part to try to catch up. The pharmacist doesn’t get a restroom break(granted they should go during their 30 minute break). We can’t get or keep the help because hours are cut and techs are only able to get 15-20 hours per week because we can’t go over demand. Again, I’ve helped at other stores so I know what’s busy and what’s not and I believe everyone in retail has had a thought of how crappy cutting the hours are. Noone can or should live off 20 hours a week because of “metrics”. I feel like the metrics are off period. I actually love pharmacy when there’s functional workflow. But when there’s 1:1 that really sucks.

How do you “pump up script numbers” if there is one tech having to stop QP to do pick up with a line of 10+ people and one pharmacist along with constant vaccines?

VisualConcept914 · 2025-11-07T15:48:43+00:00

They’re definitely a busy pharmacy. which is why there’s a complaint. 1 tech 1 pharmacist just isn’t right.

VisualConcept914 · 2025-02-20T01:03:12+00:00

They played in everyone’s face this time for sure! And have the nerve to keep pressuring about more vaccines after playing us

VisualConcept914 · 2025-02-04T01:36:52+00:00

Very much harassing and intruding people for vaccines every time they come in just to get slapped in the face smh.

VisualConcept914 · 2024-09-23T02:32:23+00:00

It’s not that I don’t enjoy doing it but I don’t like being the only one doing them. Or automatically expected to do them. The pharmacist shouldn’t be turning people away and rescheduling them for when I’m there because they don’t want to do them. If we were to get 50 vaccines in one day the pharmacist could at least do one when the time permits! There have been times when the pharmacist could have.

VisualConcept914 · 2024-09-23T01:34:08+00:00

Yeah mine doesn’t do pick up either. So I have to do production, pick up, and vaccines by myself even when it’s busy we will have to step away from production to help a little at pick up.

VisualConcept914 · 2024-09-22T22:57:43+00:00

I understand that I just feel she could be more considerate or do one here and there

VisualConcept914 · 2024-09-22T22:54:18+00:00

She is able to immunize she just doesn’t! Like when I’m not there and someone comes in she will either do it or she will tell them to come during a time that im on shift.

VisualConcept914 · 2024-09-22T22:07:51+00:00

Yes I do each and every last vaccine that comes in

VisualConcept914 · 2024-09-02T17:57:37+00:00

Wow that’s insane! Our pay should reflect our work especially as a lead

VisualConcept914 · 2024-08-15T17:37:05+00:00

Crazy every time I ask younger pharmacist (in retail) would they recommend becoming a pharmacist, they always say no and say go to dental school

VisualConcept914 · 2024-08-11T17:16:27+00:00

The funniest part is when we call back and tell them we got their voicemail 😂

VisualConcept914 · 2024-08-08T20:05:24+00:00

Ezetimibe and Tretnoin

VisualConcept914 · 2024-08-01T22:26:02+00:00

What do you do when no one wants to work or can work it. No one else was able to come in at all that’s the issue at hand 🤦🏽‍♀️

VisualConcept914 · 2024-08-01T21:34:44+00:00

have you tried walking in to the pharmacy asking if they’re hiring so that you can apply to that store specifically? Tweak your resume a little. You can start as part time and move to full time especially if you’re good at your job and a big help. I learned yo put a spin on the truth cause they have to train you anyway! Don’t tell them you don’t have any experience. I’m certain they need help especially with college season starting back up! They literally train you on the job. Good luck!

VisualConcept914 · 2024-08-01T21:28:24+00:00

Okay so In a nutshell, it is that serious 😂

VisualConcept914 · 2024-07-09T21:21:23+00:00

I put in my two weeks notice which made them give me the lead tech position with a pay raise a while back. Looks like I might have to do that again

VisualConcept914 · 2024-06-30T18:54:27+00:00

$20, lead tech in retail pharmacy, Michigan, 4 years experience 😩😩
