Walgreen's pharmacist here, everything here is 100% true and has happened to me. I love that finally someone can express my daily pain and anguish in such an eloquent way. Thank you for your true service to those on the front lines!
I once asked a difficult customer in drive through if she wanted me to call a tow truck for her, because she wouldn't leave, wouldn't pay and wouldn't cooperate with verifying her identity. Probably shouldn't have done that, but it shut her up for five seconds.
Omg you're so talented! I've been a pharmacist for 28 years,and I could write a book on all of the idiots and rude people I've had to deal with. My most recent job was with CVStress,who I'm in the process of suing for discrimination.I was an overnight pharmacist for them in a store north of Atlanta,Ga. While most of my customers were regulars who would fill their C2's at midnight,I did get a lot of drug seekers from the ER. When their profile page on the PDMP looked like a grocery list of narcotics, I would deliver to them the news that I wasn't able to fill their rx. One lady denied filling her Norco at several different places,so I printed out the page from the PDMP report and showed it to her. She still denied it wasn't her,I'm like "OK,cool. Have a good day ma'am." I never let them get to me.
Omg I love your videos, I’m a certified tech at Walmart and all these videos express our jobs perfectly keep them coming!! ❤😂😂😂😂 you’re hilarious my pharmacist and I laugh at your videos everyday
Pharm Tech here. I love your videos; they're so on point! Wanted to share a short story… Woman drops off Norco 10-325 rx 10 days out (we abide by the 48 hour rule). I tell her I can't fill it for 8 days; she says ok and turns to leave. Five seconds later she turns around and asks "HOW MUCH IF I PAY CASH?" Lol
Ooooooh as a pharmacy assistant I looooooove when you tell someone what they need, then they want to talk to the pharmacist who tells them the same thing and it's an amazing cure wow! Thanks for wasting everyone's time! I'm reaaaaaal glad you're satisfied now
Oh so many things you left out! Like 'how can you not afford the $2 copayment but want to buy 2 cartons of cigarettes?' I once had a person on Indian affairs refuse to pay for Tylenol for her child because it wasn't free with her card, but bought 2 bottles of codeine cough syrup for herself, and said she'd just give that to her 2 year old I once had a very obese lady complain about the co-pay on insulin, while eating a 2-scoop ice cream cone from a fancy place that charges almost $10 a cone And yes, I've also thought 'wow - your voice sounds just like the dr that phoned in that fake Rx'.
Spot on brother as a tech deal with such people everyday they spend 3 hours to see a doctor who only talks to them maybe 5-10 mins at most and they’re fine with that but they wouldn’t wait 29 mins at RX freaking hate these kind if people
imagine being in constant pain and physically addicted to a medicine that was prescribed to you legally...few years go by and we all have needles hanging out of us because you and big pharma caused this opiod epidemic and now I have had issues getting my addiction maintainance medicine..I've gone days in withdrawls because of this nonsense. If you are a pharmacist I respect you but your job is to fill my prescription nothing more or less. It's your field that made all of us addicts so don't look down your nose at us it's pretty much your fault we are in this situation.
nameless76 mozwhaz - I worked as a pharmacist, AND deal with opioids for chronic pain. I know both sides of the counter. I would never blame my pharmacist for opioid addiction. He didn't write the Rx. That was your doctor. He didn't refill it month after month. Again that's your doctor. It's the doctor that has the lab reports, CAT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, etc. He doesn't know the extent of your physical damage. The pharmacist has to believe the doctor is making the right decisions based on what he's seeing in test results and talking with you. If your doctor then decides you no longer need your meds, or are addicted - he should be tapering your dose down so that you don't suffer withdrawal.
Love this and can only imagine. Went to pick up some scripts after work as an EMT and got pranked by my new favorite pharmacist! (gave me a pediatric oral syringe to take my cough syrup... you all know us to well!) Please keep the humor!
Omg your videos make me laugh every day 😂😂😂. I hate when someone hands me a script that is gross, especially ones that are just a few hours old like what did you sneeze all over it and throw it in your trash can first?!
these videos are hilarious, and SO true (worked in pharm. 10 yrs, and have seen it all)...they are the best medicine....a good belly laugh works better than any prescription pain med.,!!!! Thanks for the laughter!!!
I'm just a tech, but I relate to every single one of your videos. I work in a retail grocery chain pharmacy, and the other day I answered the phone and a customer says "oh, just calling to see if you're open. Are you open?". I was SO tempted to say "No, we're closed. I just sit here and answer the phone for fun"...
I steer clear of the big chain pharmacies and stick with my locally owned private pharmacy instead that within walking distance from my home. The staff all know me and my family, so I never have any issues with having to show my ID or picking up for my grandmother. Plus, they make sure one of my meds is always on order (it's an unusual dosage) which none of the other pharmacies would do. I'm a good customer and don't ask them to fill CS's more than a day early so that the once or twice a year I take a trip they're very accommodating to fill a few days early. Of course, people don't understand that it had to do with what date your GP writes on the script as,well. Some docs are very strict about not allowing meds to be filled early. Regardless, it pays to be a reliable patient and have a good relationship with the pharmacy staff.
Also there's always the occasional people who have like 12 different discount cards on their file. I have one guy who comes and always says "can you make sure that's run through the cheapest discount card?" And he has like 7 different ones. There's no way to tell what the price is with the card without actually running it through so I end up reprocessing the same medication 7 different times and most of the time the one it was originally under is already the cheapest one
The phone lines were down at another store of ours one day and ALL of the call got rerouted to our pharmacy. I had to explain it multiple times to everyone what was going on. It was a nightmare and they couldn't understand that if I filled their medication they would have to get it at our store or go directly to their store and have them fill it while they waited for it
The other day a lady came in and dropped off a script for a cream. Easy enough just got to scan it and put the label on it. It wasn't too busy at the time so I said "would you like to wait for it? It'll be about 5 minutes." She literally says and I quote. "5 minutes is all it's going to take?... because that's all the time I HAVE" and she glared at me and just for her saying that I wanted to say "just cuz you gave me attitude make that a half hour" but I didn't, I smiled and assured her YES.. it INDEED would be about 5 minutes... And it did.
Every pharmacy I've had has been a pleasure to work with because I educated myself on how to work with them. I used to go to a small mom and pop pharmacy but I moved and now the best pharmacy in my area is Costco. I always stop by my old pharmacy to pick up non prescription things like aspirin, Tylenol, and supplements to give them business. I probably spend like $100-200 per year there.
Bruh... This is all too real. I be having a whole freaking line of people, someone will be like "I'm picking up for ____" I go grab it, ring it up, they pay, then they look at me for a minute like I'm a mind reader and go "and I'm also picking up for _____" like.. do you realize you can put both prescriptions on the same transaction? Now the people behind you are even more impatient and they'll take it out on me.
Lmao!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 ......it could be that people stare at you because you really are a good looking man but I wouldn’t be that rude to just stand there and stare even if I wanted to, Lol.
I feel the already walked away to get their medication and started ringing it up “oh and I might have one for my husband” does it again oh and can you check for our 3 kids and the dog
3 incidents from a 38 yr retail pharmacy career; 1. About 1983 , customer walks up and asks "do you have aids? she meant the non-defunct diet candy I didn't know whether to say "NO, do you?" Or "certainly, we have 3 cases in the store currently" 2. (in an agricultural town): do you have anything for my aching calfs? I thought she meant "calves" - so I asked to consult with her local veternarian. She got very upset 3) goofy looking 16 yr old pays for his small purchase with quarters- taken from a condom in his pocket
If I had a dollar for every time someone flipped about having to show ID for Pseudoephedrine D IN A STATE WHERE IT IS CLASSIFIED AS A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE I would be able to buy a lifetime supply of that
As a costumer who takes Ritalin and annoys my pharmacist...I am sorry. I will learn to relax, and wait until they send me the text that is filled...and not try to get it earlier than the 2 day allowance. I also promise to not have more that a bottle of pepsi and candy bar for you to ring up extra.
As much as you want to, please dont! It sucks SO MUCH for everyone on the shift if you don't call or show up. At least give me a heads up if you dont want to come in.
That dollar tree bag tho🤣...captain creepy picking up his little blue diamonds and permethrin cream 🤫🤭had the nerve to say shooot you ain't no bad lookin broad you live near here guuurl I live right down the skreet 🥴😬🤮STRANGER DANGER ×1,000
Every customer that wants to stare into my soul as I try and fill their scripts. I hate when they see I'm on the phone with someone and they stand so close to the counter like back up lady you see I'm talking to someone else, you wouldn't want someone listening in while I talked to you about your medication
@@whitestkid If I did that it would open the door for them to complain to corporate via survey scores, comments, or speaking to the manager. All of which would negatively impact me and enable those entitled customers to continue that behavior. You literally cannot win working for a corporation, they set almost unattainable goals every week and then cut hours regardless if you meet their goals or not.. I care about patient health and well being, the corporate 🐍 heads care about making more dollar signs than the year. I look forward to a day that I will be able to say I quit my corporate shift job and became successful on my own. ❤️
The first customer I ever waited on pulled her driver licenses out of her bra! Gross! That and I followed a customer out of the bathroom who didn't wash her hands then she was the next person I helped!

Twitter has really helped me with my daily pharmacy pains 😊 I LOVE having a Twitter Pharm family!
Go ahead and transfer to another pharmacy!
get some actors involved with phone calls and art like real customers);at will be supper
I once asked a difficult customer in drive through if she wanted me to call a tow truck for her, because she wouldn't leave, wouldn't pay and wouldn't cooperate with verifying her identity. Probably shouldn't have done that, but it shut her up for five seconds.
When you got people waiting in line and theres this person wanting to purchase normal store items, holding up the line. So true lmao.
I swear every time I finish a patient's transaction they always want pick up for someone else.
