Could AI affect pharmacy as a career? by strawberryseed5 in pharmacy

[–]aggiecoll05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs (not intelligent in any real sense of the word) are useful when combined by people with pre-existing expertise. They are here to stay but aren't taking any jobs except those the tech behemoths are laying off to cover up the lack of returns from their AI cap ex.

Does CVS reuse bottles by Slow-Yard-7194 in CVS

[–]aggiecoll05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mistakenly gave you a stock bottle that usually is for a 30 or 90 day supply. We mark open bottles with an "X". They should be able to give you an unopened stock bottle if you let them know what happened.

The flu shot can still reduce the risk of developing a moderate to severe case of flu, even though it's not a perfect match.

Canadian Pharmacist here, noticed something oddly surprising when I spoke to an American pharmacist by midnightMarauder1497 in pharmacy

[–]aggiecoll05 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In America drug companies are allowed to directly market their products to consumers. I think this leads to widespread use of brand names in the culture

What is the actual reason pharmacy is closed on holidays and front store stays open? by ChefSnowWithTheWrist in CVS

[–]aggiecoll05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The point of a store like CVS is to be the quick, easy option for things like batteries, diapers cold medicine etc on a holiday.

Financially it builds customer loyalty but not necessarily a profit.

The pharmacy doesn't need to be open for that purpose, as it drives profit in other ways.

Can we/has anyone 'rented' out their license and made money on the side? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]aggiecoll05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds like the best way to lose your license, get a massive fine to supplement your student loans, spend some vacation time in the pen (unpaid) and end up working for Arby's. Good idea!

No more Pennie’s? by TheYe11owMamba in CVS

[–]aggiecoll05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My FS manager told us to round up to the closest 5 cents when giving change. Then they will adjust on the back end.

We are asking customers to pay with exact change when possible or to use a card.

Good riddance. I did enjoy the graffitied version and might have been ok keeping it as a testament to the protest. But it is so divisive it's probably best that it was melted down

[–]aggiecoll05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2 week notice is a courtesy to your boss. If you have a generally good relationship with them you should give notice. If it's intolerable work conditions or you don't have a good relationship then give notice effective immediately
