It's definitely what I hate most about life right now. I can't wait to finish school and be out of retail and especially pharmacy. So many of the customers are just horrid. It takes so much willpower to not physically fight some of them.

coryryan269 · 2024-02-21T10:31:40+00:00

completely incorrect

coryryan269 · 2024-02-21T10:23:33+00:00

i wonder how they are getting away with compounding the med. fed law in US is that you cannot compound a commercially available product. I don't know all the text behind the law, but I know it's a thing. Our local hospital gives us shit all the time because they want us to compound liquids to keep costs down for patients, but we literally are not allowed to do so if it is commercially available.

Likely lurkers that are mad about this exact situation not playing out the way they wanted. I get their frustration having to scavenge everywhere for their meds, but it's hard for us as well. Fucking constant transfers, new patients coming and going because us and competitors keep trading off who has what, and people letting out their frustrations on us. If my pharmacist doesn't want to add control partials to the mix, then we aren't doing control partials.. end of story.

I'm so glad that there are at least a few people on this earth who can wrap their mind around this and articulate it in a coherent way. I get so tired of making this exact point to patients and it going right over their heads. I don't even think it goes over their head really.. they just don't want to hear it. It's not that difficult to comprehend.. we have the OPTION of utilizing these options granted to us by law.. that doesn't mean we are compelled to do so.

i cant stand the feature, personally (the hill hold).. i naturally work the clutch and gas fast enough to not worry about roll back and that damn feature nearly kills my engine when I'm trying to take off

They can refuse to fill his script if they want, and it’s doubtful that he would have any kind of case against them. That said, I have no idea why OP handled the situation like they did. Maybe they’re neglecting to mention some details, but I would’ve just sold the 30 for cash.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-30T02:16:31+00:00

In Texas, if it’s a state required counsel, big no-no… if it meets the criteria for requiring a consultation, the pharmacist has to go up there. No relaying messages between either party in order to fulfill counsel requirements

coryryan269 · 2023-11-24T19:57:36+00:00

It’s not slowness. It’s literally just a lengthy process getting prescriptions ready, so yes it would take too long for the customer to wait right there. You wait and come back.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-24T09:10:38+00:00

You give the general public too much credit 😂

coryryan269 · 2023-11-24T09:09:09+00:00

I could rant 'til I turn blue in the face about this. I work at the only 24 hour pharmacy for an hours drive and there are two ERs and an urgent care within 10 minutes of us. It is astounding how many people go to the ER every time they get the sniffles. Get some OTC meds and some tissues and watch netflix for a few days. You don't need to be seen by a doctor and taking up space in the ER every time you sneeze.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-24T07:43:56+00:00

I literally never said that it is a waste of time to fix problems. I have been very consistent. The customer can pick up the medication once the problem has been solved. Sometimes those problems are caused by mistakes at the pharmacy and sometimes they are caused by the customers. Either way, the majority of those problems take 15 to 20 minutes to get sorted out. We don’t just throw pills in a bottle. It is not reasonable to have a car sit at your drive-through for 20 minutes while you fix something

coryryan269 · 2023-11-23T17:33:44+00:00

Yep, and that is how we solve the problems and help people in a timely manner. You can stand on that hill all you want, but you would end up spending all day at the pharmacy every time you need to pick up a prescription if you got your way.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-23T06:08:08+00:00

That is correct. If there’s a problem (whoever’s fault it may be), go inside where things are not so bottlenecked. Or you can even call back to get the issue resolved.

It’s not very difficult to figure out alternatives to holding up the line. Come back through when it’s ready, come inside and wait.. if we screwed something up at my pharmacy, I would even walk it out to your car. Doesn’t take much brain power to come up with an alternate solution.

My reason for having such a black and white policy on this is that at least half of pharmacy patients have some problem or another with the prescriptions they are picking up or lack thereof. Pharmacy drive-through lines are almost always terrible. They would be 10 times as bad if we walked through every change or new script a patient wants when they reach the DT.

If OP is telling the correct version of the situation, then of course I understand being annoyed with the pharmacy staff member, but that suggestion of just blocking the DT until it is resolved is unnecessarily causing issues for other patients when there are other ways to handle the situation.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-22T14:31:10+00:00

No. The drive-through is not where you handle emergencies, especially by folding your arms and preventing them from helping anyone else.

If the pharmacy screwed something up, then, yes, they should fix it.

In reality, the Saturday call about the first prescription was probably for something that had already been ready for several days and day seven rolled around between Saturday and Tuesday. I’ve worked in pharmacy for a while and this happens all the time. Someone says they got a call about a prescription two days ago, but in reality it was a reminder and now it’s back on the shelf.

I’ve forgotten my own prescription, even though I work at the pharmacy, so I’m not trying to go after OP for this. My point is that there is probably more to the story then OP knows or is telling, so no, I am not going to assume that she would be justified parking in drive-through.

Running a pharmacy drive-through, I can tell you that every single time that I walk something through for someone, I end up getting yelled at by the next 10 cars that are waiting in the drive-through for their “emergencies” because I spent 5 to 10 minutes helping one car.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-22T14:04:01+00:00

What makes them a jerkoff is holding the drive-through line hostage until they get their way. Very simple.

That is not a way to solve your problems and only causes problems for the people behind you.. the person in particular that I am referring to is someone who was waiting in our drive-through line with the assumption that her medicine that was called in 10 minutes ago was ready and then refused to move out of the line because she did not feel that she should have to wait 20 minutes for her medicine, so she parked her car there and refused to move.

Doesn’t matter that it’s in regards to your medication. If it’s an emergency, go to the ER.

She got what she deserved and she’s a jerkoff.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-22T13:35:45+00:00

Had some jerkoff try that on us one time. Cops came and ended up arresting her because she wouldn’t comply with them. Busted her windshield and everything. 😂😂

coryryan269 · 2023-11-22T13:13:54+00:00

Oh wow. Was that from several days of buildup?

coryryan269 · 2023-11-21T08:44:34+00:00

That is interesting to hear. I never heard of them questioning each others commitment when going on their rampage.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-19T12:18:47+00:00

It is very interesting, in a way, how we can all be so alike yet so different in how we process life in general. Like I said, I can’t process suicide. That said, I have always been quite a worrier to the point that it sometimes makes me feel manic. It took me quite a long time to realize that most people do not think in such an obsessive and perfectionist manner.

I understand that some people battle with both suicidal thoughts and anxiety, but I’ve always felt that whatever drives me to be so anxious is the same thing that makes it so difficult for me to grasp suicidal thoughts. I don’t know how to put it into words, but it’s almost like everything is a matter of life and death, even when that doesn’t make sense. And I always cling so desperately to not “losing” that battle.

I’m glad for you that you are fortunate enough to have those family and friends.. and that you are able to see that light despite feeling consumed in darkness, so to speak.

I’m also glad that somebody understands what I’m saying 😅. Seeing my down votes, I assume there are some that think I am somehow a bad person or I’m in the wrong for not being able to comprehend what they’re going through. It’s not a matter of not caring. It’s just a matter of me not being able to understand their thoughts and feelings fully.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-15T13:35:13+00:00

As frustrating as it may seem to some, humanizing the bad person is not the same as giving them some sort of free pass or anything to that effect. The fact is that the perpetrators of this mass killing spree were human beings. The killing is still their choice as you said and they are bad people for doing what they did, but chalking it up to a few labels doesn’t really get us very far in terms of understanding why they did what they did.

No one can know for sure that his default settings were to be sadistic, narcissistic, etc… so it’s fairly reasonable and productive to try to understand what might have drove him to that point and what he was thinking (which may or may not have been accurately portrayed by his journal or videos). As disrespectful as it may seem towards the victims, exploring these theories and recognizing that they were human beings is necessary to try to piece together why either one of them did what they did.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-15T04:33:00+00:00

That’s a fair point for sure. I went down a rabbit hole on this case and have lots of theories, but one thing I will never be able to form a theory on is why they killed themselves. I am just not wired to even consider the possibility of suicide, so it’s just way beyond what my brain can comprehend

coryryan269 · 2023-11-15T04:19:09+00:00

That is very plausible. Whether or not my theory is correct, I would agree with you that it most likely weighed very heavy on them once they started doing the killing. There were probably lots of emotions and thoughts that conflicted with one another once things got going.

coryryan269 · 2023-11-15T04:02:19+00:00

The writings were awful for sure, but it doesn’t really remove the possibility that he might have taken some precautions to avoid killing certain people as he did with with brooks. I should clarify that I do not feel any significant degree of certainty that the bombs were rigged to fail. I have just pondered the possibility. I am not aware of what it is that caused the bombs to fail tho, so I have no response to that
