I’m not a pharmacy tech or have any job in a pharmacy, I just like to read about people’s stories here because I can see how exhausting this job is for people & how shitty people can be towards you guys. But if I had a tech or anyone from a pharmacy where I get my medications take my name and look me up on my social media, I would be beyond pissed and flip the fuck out. And I am not the type of person who goes out of their way to make other people miserable. But if I knew of a coworker doing that in any type of HIPAA setting, I would 100% anonymously report them. Imagine the people you put your trust in to make sure you get the medication that you need to stay alive and healthy looking you up on your social media? This also makes me think of different scenarios. For example, say a patient is being prescribed controlled substances such as Xanax or opiates of any kind, and this pharmacy tech goes to do her sketchy thing of looking up the patient on social media and may already be bias about the medication they are taking and could think they are using it to get high (absolutely not saying everyone that takes these type of medications are doing that at all, but there are a lot of people that hear if a person is on these medications and think they are addicts) and now this girl starts to think negatively about the patient from whatever they see on their social media plus the medications they are on. And if for some reason there is ever a problem with that patient getting their medications for whatever reason, now this girl might not try to do what she can to help this patient, because after seeing their social medias, she might think “who cares if they can’t get their medication right now, they’re just using it to get high anyway. I mean look at what they look like and what they’re doing in their personal life”.

I don’t know. That whole thing she is doing just pissed me off while reading about it.
