I want to tell them "your" vicodin will be ready whenever we hear from the Dr. to ok it. That is, if it's not too early, which it probably is. Then you will just have to wait. No, I won't give you "just a few" to get by til that date, no, I don't care if you are leaving town on vacation (when was my last vacation?!) no, I won't call him, no, I won't call your other dr., no, don't call the vet to prescribe it for your dog. You are so pathetic! Yea, pharmacyphil. I want to tell them “your” vicodin will be ready whenever we hear from the Dr. to ok it. That is, if it’s not too early, which it probably is.

I'll borrow a nice car from a friend, get something that looks like an iPhone, and get some designer knock off stuff to wear. I'll pull up to the pharmacy drive thru, chatting on the fake iPhone about how I have a fabulous European vacation planned. When I leave I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that your panties will be so unbelievably twisted and that you'll obsess and stew about me the rest of the day. It'll ruin your day to imagine me as some mythical welfare queen who's living the high life on food stamps. Good luck with wasting your time and energy obsessing over medicaid patients. It's no wonder so many of you are miserable in your careers. Man I just came up with an awesome plan if I’m ever unfortunate enough to end of on Medicaid.

We never had to advertise. We just waited for the local corprates to fuck up. In this case Rite Aid was number one, but other corprates also helped to keep us busy. Unfortunately, the rent went up and the owner would have to actually come to work to stay in busines. He said fuck it and retired. Now I am in corprate looking for another indepentent.

I have been told by Walmart upper mgmt. That they do not retaliate, disrepect or harass their pharmacists. Now why did I think I would be treated better than the people up front were being treated. I believed them. I was a fool. They were selling lies. That is just one part of the bullshit that a Walmart Pharmacist has to deal with. I agree. I have been told by Walmart upper mgmt.

Only difference is I pay for my own room & board. They call me at home and expect me to jump so I am not even free in my own home.

I have waited an hour and half to get a tech. When she answered I said "god, it must suck to be you". She laughed, agreed an thanked me for not jumbing down her throat.

The old are removed. Maybe that is just the way it is around here. I am fairly sure that Walmart prefers young, surgically improve types as the face representing there pharmacy’s.

If your kids wonder how the Nazi's came to power, have them work at Walmart for 3 months. They still will not understand, but they will learn that Nazi's are alive and well today. I agree.
