I actually told a patient he had to ask everyone in the waiting room if he could go first when he complained about the wait. He told me he would come back later. LOL!!
I've done it, too, and watching the other patients' reactions when I've asked out loud in the waiting area if "this lady" or "this gentleman" can get their script done first is PRICELESS!
LEGIT daily life in a retail pharmacy The fact that not a single person has disliked this proves the accuracy. we have checklists for checklists at this point. esp working for Walgreens they are SO petty, the pharmacy staff cares about the patients but the management and corporate only cares about their lists, numbers, bs that doesn't matter. I got "written up" the other day bc I missed a couple of profile that didn't have text message options filled in or didn't have current phone numbers. They call it the F7 Challenge, where you press that button every time you interact with a person at checkout or drop off and make sure there are no blanks. Sooo missing two in a week is the equivalent of not being consistent and deserves a write up, I could lose my job if I get wrote up for the same thing again. Such bs when I work SO hard and stay late all the time to get things done, I've worked almost everyday I've ever been called in and only been out a few times this year due to migraines or family emergencies. Currently working on getting out of retail pharmacy before I lose my mind.
@@rxcomedyLOL I love helping people and making sure people can get the medicines they need, I go out of my way to make sure people pay the lowest prices on their meds. I put a lot of effort into my own health and encourage lifestyle changes to my patients as well. Our staff always comes to me when someone asks about a natural product, remedy, or cbd products. Dealing with corporate crap all the time is just mentally exhausting at this point. esp when they cut hours and double the work load, and then threaten my job over something like that really doesn't matter.
If you're certified, I'd recommend looking for a job in hospital pharmacy. The best techs we have at my hospital came from CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid.
I remember a few years back, I gave the most flu shots in one day for my district- over 80 in a 8 hour shift - with just one technician . And I still had to fill and verify prescriptions, answer the phone, wait on patients, etc. My supervisor called me up the next day to congratulate me, then in the next breath, berated me because my KPI's for the day were WAY off company expectations. Well, DUH- If I'm giving a flu shot , I can't be verifying prescriptions !!
fr though, you know they ain't paying for those scripts, medicaid/medicare is. if you want to get technical were all paying for your meds so go take your "free" meds else where lol
Ya know...after having sick customers leaning all across my damn counter I got to cough on their shit, and in front of them, when I got sick with an upper respiratory and then the flu. I got to pay them back, and when some asked I told them just how I likely got sick. Had to giggle at the end cause it fit what I did recently. And OMG that flu shot grind. I'm just glad I can't give them....just gotta ring them up and have them fill out the paperwork. I just found your videos and love it. It does show what pharmacists and techs go through all the damn and puts a humorous spin on it. I wonder if my pharmacy manager would get mad if I started asking waiters if they wanted to wait longer for the latest privileged person wanting to go first.....hmmm...
Yep I've had prescriptions that people have coughed on given to me and their money. I put on gloves too. I had one covered in blood one time (well probably more than once). I covered the whole prescription in tape to protect everyone. But the best one was when I got to work and I was just entering the pharmacy when a lady leaned right into my face at the drop off and asked if I had something for a cough and when she said the word cough she coughed right into my mouth. No joke I came down with a cold a couple days later.
I’m amazed how you absolutely hit the nail on the head on everything I think and feel while I’m working everyday!! I work for a chain Rx too. Man we have to go through some Bull$h#& everyday!
I felt the pain in my soul when the lady was like “we need 1, 2, 3, 4 flu shots!!” Especially when that happened to me yesterday but it was “oh and can we get pneumonia shots while we’re here??” 😐
I can't tell you how many times someone tried to hand scripts through to me if I was at the tech station nearest that window.. can you just take these for me? No can you just wait in line behind everyone else because I'm positive whatever insurance we have for you on file is expired and it will be easier to get all the problems sorted if we have you in front of our faces instead of finding surprises later. Also as a front end manager: Hi the pharmacy isn't open yet but I need to get this filled can I just give it to you? Why no, no you can not. Please return when the pharmacy is actually open.
He left out the part where the minor boy has a medical condition the parent decided not to disclose and the boy has a really bad reaction to the shot and 911 needs to be called. And the manager needs to do lots of paperwork. I don't miss doing paperwork.
We got a customer threaten for call the attorney general and BOP, district leader etc everyone she can think of because we don’t have high dose flu shot ... I just laughed and walked away.
My first flu season out of retail! Holy Hell I can relate! Hate the call lists, 3, day, 5 day, 7 day omg!! Don't miss it!The hacking up a lung always made me cringe!!!
And, after personally monopolizing the pharmacist's time with truly stupid questions, getting upset/annoyed when the three-week - old prescription for their kid's acne cream has been returned to stock and will take twenty minutes to redo with their new insurance card.
it’s a trip when client who stinks like pot and picks up scripts for trazadone oxy, tramadol, and zoloft, then. ambien. poor soul he has problems . all different doctors
But yet they all buy the cheapest crap Walmart sells, like toys made in China coated in lead paint and produce grown in Central America doused in only-God -knows-what chemicals!
Wow this is right on the money coughing or bleeding all over rx, why does it take 15 minutes to get rx ready? How about we don't want you to die from drug allergy or drug-drug interactions. Let's waste RPh time and argue about efficacy of flu shots at the pharmacy!!!
I dunno what the rules are where you practice, but an individual has to be 18 to get a vaccine at the pharmacy. I secretly rejoice every time a family with more than two minors wants their flu shots because I have a legitimate reason to say no and send them to the Minute Clinic. I do feel sorry for Joy and Ramona sometimes, though (the NP and PA that staff the Minute Clinic.)
a few months ago cvs dropped the age limit to 3. We don't have privacy curtains or a seperate room or ANYTHING. It's a nightmare for everyone in the store
@@POOPDAWHOOP Yeah, I know. Unlike Walgreens there was no separate rooms. Even with the extra minute clinic room that was never used because we never had more than one NP. But I've moved on to Sterile Compounding. I posted this almost a year ago. Although I hear things are even worse now that they have the fact that they are partnering with area clinics and hospitals to give the SARS-COV-2 vaccine to certain healthcare workers. Like, no one listens to the damn recording before hitting 3 to speak to a technician. I get the same thing if I cover in the outpatient pharmacy, which has been quite a bit given the current situation. I moved to the float pool when school started back up and I'm on rotations. Didn't really plan on actually working this much, but things are so desperate they pay double-time and are giving bonuses for every hour worked that isn't in your initial agreement. Turns out to be a lot when you were first hired at only 10-15 hours a week. And may end up being more once we start vaccinating the public, since I did vaccination certification as CE that was covered by the hospital. My mom, a hospice chaplain, considered doing the CNA training because they were paying for it and offering a $5,000 bonus to any internal personnel who agreed to do so. And there's a $2,000 sign on bonus for new people. Shit is crazy in the Metro right now.
In these crazy moments I center myself with one thought: it may be busy but it can always be worse, I could be chained up in someone's sex dungeon! Then I dont mind giving shots and counseling ppl!
I had a person who kept complaining that we didn’t have the high dose shot, then when he came in and we had it, he didn’t want to wait. Only 3 people ahead of him, & I said well we didn’t get that many I’m sure we will run out by tomorrow, the wait will still be less then a doctor office visit but up to you. He left with a stank face.
It WAS my life for 21 years then I was lucky enough to make the jump to hospital pharmacy - still lots of pain and suffering (for pharmacists and techs) but nurses (usually) make better "customers"!
Omg all the call lists 😩😩 “ how the hell are we supposed to make those calls when the phone won’t stop ringing!!” So true...
I felt that on a spiritual level. 🙌
Only thing to make this more accurate is to have the DM say you're not giving enough flu shots
Every year!!! Even after we exceed the goal. 🤦♂️
"All you gotta do is *slap* a label on it" I never knew this was this universal 😭
I actually told a patient he had to ask everyone in the waiting room if he could go first when he complained about the wait. He told me he would come back later. LOL!!
I've done it, too, and watching the other patients' reactions when I've asked out loud in the waiting area if "this lady" or "this gentleman" can get their script done first is PRICELESS!
Oh I can’t try that in my pharmacy. It’ll be a fight in the lobby.

Get out do what makes you happy not worth the stress

Yeah that's not fair to you when you try your best

As a 4 year pharmacy tech so far I adore your videos and can relate to every one of them. I even share them with my coworkers! We all love them!
Awesome thanks for sharing

My favorite is when they make the announcements when we already sent back the flu shots... Or when we already met the goal...
Yep I've had prescriptions that people have coughed on given to me and their money. I put on gloves too. I had one covered in blood one time (well probably more than once).

That CVS backdrop almost made my PTSD kick in!

I felt the pain in my soul when the lady was like “we need 1, 2, 3, 4 flu shots!!” Especially when that happened to me yesterday but it was “oh and can we get pneumonia shots while we’re here??” 😐
It's all so real, it is almost too true to be funny! But coughing on the $10 bill made me LOL. Love you!
The only way I can unwind after a 14-hour day at CVS during flu season is to binge watch Maurice Shaw videos!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG the family getting the flu shots makes my blood boil 🤣🤣🤣
When they act like it’s a fun field trip🙄
I just tell them I’m busy and turn them away
Oh my gosh!! Always on point!!😒 < that became the look I always had.
Truth!
LMAO!!!!!!! So true. Screaming 8 yr olds and parents having to hold their kids down or chase them around to get them to get their flu shot.
The consultation window thing is my pet peeve too!
I can't tell you how many times someone tried to hand scripts through to me if I was at the tech station nearest that window..
can you just take these for me?
No can you just wait in line behind everyone else because I'm positive whatever insurance we have for you on file is expired and it will be easier to get all the problems sorted if we have you in front of our faces instead of finding surprises later.
Also as a front end manager:
Hi the pharmacy isn't open yet but I need to get this filled can I just give it to you?
Why no, no you can not. Please return when the pharmacy is actually open.
This stuff is so true, why isn’t this channel bigger? Every person needs to watch this and learn how not to act in a pharmacy.
"Take a picture, send it to me" Im dead💀
Man this the most accurate shit ever
Customer service turned me into a misanthrope.
My pharmacy wrote me up because I needed to take a week off (ordered by the doctor AND I had a Dr's note) due to a concussion.
He left out the part where the minor boy has a medical condition the parent decided not to disclose and the boy has a really bad reaction to the shot and 911 needs to be called. And the manager needs to do lots of paperwork. I don't miss doing paperwork.
Why do any Pharmacy employees ever show up? Its so nasty at times!
Omg them family flu shots is insane 😭😭😭😒
We don’t get paid enough to handle an RX with brown phlegm. The PharmD says , “Just wipe it off.”Nope.
On my 30 right now enjoying this video!
We got a customer threaten for call the attorney general and BOP, district leader etc everyone she can think of because we don’t have high dose flu shot ... I just laughed and walked away.
cuckoo879 OMG😂
cuckoo879 LOL!!
"What door do we use to get out?" I thought I was the only one who had those idiots, ...
My first flu season out of retail! Holy Hell I can relate! Hate the call lists, 3, day, 5 day, 7 day omg!! Don't miss it!The hacking up a lung always made me cringe!!!
Ahahah that nasty ass prescription 😂
omg, exactly how I felt about family flu shots every single time.
The real comedy is saying CVS will be better😂😂😂
Should I get get a flu shot ?, is it a good one ? Do you have a high dose? TDap? Pneumonia? Oh I got I question for the pharmacist about bandaids
And, after personally monopolizing the pharmacist's time with truly stupid questions, getting upset/annoyed when the three-week - old prescription for their kid's acne cream has been returned to stock and will take twenty minutes to redo with their new insurance card.
5,469 views as I'm watching this video; it should be 5 MILLION because it is SO TRUE! (And SO funny ; thank you Dr Shaw for telling it like it is!)
it’s a trip when client who stinks like pot and picks up scripts for trazadone oxy, tramadol, and zoloft, then. ambien. poor soul he has problems . all different doctors
"does your flu shot have preservatives?" "is it produced here in America or in Canada, if it's Canada I don't want it"
But yet they all buy the cheapest crap Walmart sells, like toys made in China coated in lead paint and produce grown in Central America doused in only-God -knows-what chemicals!
Look at her husbands face when she said the flu shot lol 😂
could you have did shadowed? isn't this foreseen?
Omg i work for cvs and this is so accurate, especially the call list 🤣🤣🤣
I got my first tech job with cvs and then transferred to a walgreens for better hours. ended up with twice the amount of call lists
hand to god its 18 gage needls for these folks from now on
Wow this is right on the money coughing or bleeding all over rx, why does it take 15 minutes to get rx ready? How about we don't want you to die from drug allergy or drug-drug interactions. Let's waste RPh time and argue about efficacy of flu shots at the pharmacy!!!
