  • A typical Sunday at the Pharmacy...

    Today was a normal Sunday for me.

    Right when we opened no less....

    I litterally open the window for the pharmacy register, and a man walks up.

    Me: Good morning sir, my I have you name?
    SC: *gives name and I see that the perscription is not ready yet*
    Me: I am sorry to say it is not ready yet.
    SC: That's rediculous!! I called it in this morning, it should be ready!
    Me: I am sorry sir, but as I said, it is not ready yet. If you would just wait about ten minutes we will have it ready for you.
    SC: This is unacceptable!! I called it in to the automated system at seven this morning, it's ten now, it should be ready!
    Me: Sir, we don't open till ten, so there is no one here in the pharmacy until ten.
    SC: It should still be ready!
    Me: ...
    Pharmacist: *Brining over finished script* Sir, it is as she said. No one was here until I opened up the pharmacy a few minutes ago.
    SC: Someone should have filled it!
    Phamacist: But that would have been against the law for anyone to be in here without a pharmacist in here.
    Me:*rings out the SC*
    SC: *sticks his finger in the pharmacists face* You people better get your act together on getting people there medicine! *leaves*
    Pharmacist: Does he think that there are elves that fill the scripts when we are not here?
    Me:

    Oh for God's sake...
    A regular comes in for her thrice a week syringe purchase. Allways the same.

    Me: We can only sell you 10 syringes at a time with out a perscription.
    WhinySC: But WHYYYYYYY!
    Me:

    ASK YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY!!!
    I am at the intake window, when an a man comes up:
    SC: I just checked out my scripts, and the co-pay is up, why did you raise it?
    Me: That is actually controlled by your insurence company, we have no say in what they charge you.
    SC: But why did the co-pay go up?
    Me: *Gives the list of possible reasons*
    SC: Yeah, but which one is it?
    Me: You will have to call your insurence company sir, it is between you and them.
    SC: But can't you just check or something?
    Me: Sir, as I have said, this is something you need to go over with with your insurence company.
    SC: So you are saying i have to call the insurence company?
    Me:

    Right before closing
    A man and his wife, I am getting scripts for the gentleman. I tell them the price for them, and she turns to him and says in a rather loud voice,
    Bitch: "Your not getting the CIALIS if it's that expensive."
    Husband: *Turns green and walks away leaving her alone*
    Me:


    I am so so glad I have Monday and Tuesday off, lol.

            Nah cause she would need a script for the insulin too.

              I'm an insulin dependant diabetic and I totally had NO clue you could buy syringes without a prescription.
              She buys hers and does not even have a script for insulin? One can only wonder what she's using her syringes for.

                It's not a bad idea. You could probably hire a Pharmacist and a few techs to work off hours just filling prescriptions that were phone/faxed/emailed in or standing orders. I'm sure there are quite a few who would work for less just to avoid SCs.

                  Actually, in New Mexico you don't. You can buy it OTC. And needles, too.

                    The next time the umpteenth person suggests I retrain as a pharmacy tech I'm going to direct them straight to this. Aside from V_R_S's customers - you folk seem to get the worst / most annoying SCs.

                    My pharmacy's automated system will tell you what time your meds will be done. Yesterday I called it in at 10am and it said they would be done at 4pm.

                      Mine also tells you the earliest time it can be picked up (typically the next business day if it's called in before 5 PM).

                        Yes, but this would require them to listen (or read if done on the internet). And we all know that SCs don't have this ability.

                          In NY you can buy certain insulin OTC, and buy ten needles at a time.

                          The lady in question NEVER buys insulin.

                          I wish people would get a hint sometimes, lol. It's allways the same people asking the same questions over and over.

                          I would come in overnight or early in the moring if it meant no SC. I can picture it, filling at my station, listening to my ipod. No more feeling my brain slowly die at the stupid questions, no more getting screamed at over $0.50 co-pays for $1000 worth of controled substances... That would be a dream come true, lol.

                            Not from him, anyway . . . of course, she could always find one of those battery-operated "massagers" or something more from the produce section of the grocery store.
