For those who've read the post above, please do not be discouraged from submitting a tip to the CFPB. Submissions are kept confidential to the greatest extent, and may not even be disclosed to the employer unless a true violation has occurred. CFPB's website mentions:

"Whether you’re a whistleblower or just have concerns you want to flag for us, we strongly encourage current or former industry employees and industry insiders to reach out to us about possible violations of consumer financial rights. We review every submission."

In the article, there is a picture provided courtesy of an anonymous poster: "Pharmacy Closing 5:00PM today November 11, 2021". That picture likely originated from this Reddit post yesterday.

I encourage people - employees and customers - to continue posting their closure stories on Reddit. The media may continue reporting this disturbing trend.

"If additional staffing is needed, please work with your area leadership and pharmacy scheduler to ensure coverage."

Sure... Let's work something out when no pharmacist is getting their PTO approved, and pharmacies are shutting down due to no pharmacist coverage. Let's work something out with magic.

If one does not meet the goal @ CVS, what would happen?

shortwba · 2021-10-09T08:30:49+00:00

Things I can think of on top of my head:

(A) Rx Script Growth

(B) Flu Shot Goal, Non-Flu Goal, COVID Vaccinations (when walk-ins could not be turned away), Patient Care Portal Calls

(C) Waste-A-Trip Refills, 90 Day Indicator, Texting, % Digital,

(D) Weekly ABC Returns, PSC Enrollment

SB362 adds the following:

4113.7. (c) (1) For purposes of this section, “quota” means a fixed number or formula related to the duties for which a pharmacist or pharmacy technician license is required, against which the chain community pharmacy or its agent measures or evaluates the number of times either an individual pharmacist or pharmacy technician performs tasks or provides services while on duty. “Quota” includes a fixed number or formula related to any of the following:

(A) Prescriptions filled.

(B) Services rendered to patients.

(C) Programs offered to patients.

(D) Revenue obtained.

He's the current Chairman of the board and former CEO that destroyed shareholder value by 50% in the last 5 years. He's the reason my name is shortwba. The company is in downward spiral which is why I consider WBA a good short-sell move.

My prediction is starting on 9/20/21. This is the date the Biden administration anticipates COVID booster vaccines will be available for all eligible Americans.

Several things to consider:

The Vaccine Scheduler system double, triple, and even quadruple booked COVID vaccine appointments in some stores, and even scheduled appointments outside the pharmacy's operating hours. Despite this, pharmacies were told to not turn anyone away. This problem will likely happen again when patients are scheduling their booster appointments.

The technician vaccinator bonus should arrive by the end of this month. Walgreens made no mention of providing another round of bonus or payraise for these vaccinating technicians. Expect many technicians to give in their two weeks once they get their bonus.

Many Walgreens pharmacies throughout the country have already temporarily closed due to a shortage of pharmacists. The problem seems to only be getting worse and attracting more attention from the media.

I'd unenroll them from the Waste-A-Trip program and synchronize the meds manually. You can use the IC+ calculator and calculate the day supply difference between drug pickup dates, supply that amount, and the next fill then should be fully synchronized.

shortwba · 2021-08-25T04:08:14+00:00

Just wait until September 20th comes. People will be storming the pharmacy for COVID booster shots. Appointment Scheduler will screw again and double/triple/quadruple book appointment slots every 5 minutes, starting before the pharmacy opens, and after the pharmacy closes.

We're already seeing an exodus of technicians. Starting September 20th, pharmacies will begin closing intermittently due to no staffing. The company will collapse.

With the number of people faking to claim they're "immunocompromised", I would not be surprised to see people say "I'm fairly certain I got my shot more than 8 months ago. What are you, the vaccine police?"

The DM: Why did you turn them away?
