Reply #84: And sometimes the stupid comes from the employees...

Last week Mr Pip had some very painful oral surgery done. Then he had to go pick up a couple of scripts for aftercare...one of those things was painkiller.

Instead of going to CVS (where they make you wait an hour and practically want to know your life history before handing over the meds) he went to Walgreens. Turned over the scripts and asked how long it would be...OK at this time there are THREE people waiting. He's thinking, 15, 20 minutes tops.

No...an hour!

He explains he's just had oral surgery, is in pain, and it's a 40 mile round trip to go home and wait then go back again.

The person at the counter says she's very sorry, but they're very busy and are in the middle of a "Flu Clinic"

remember, there are 3 people there...no line....nobody giving or getting flu shots...nothing.

So Mr Pip tells her what he thinks and takes back his scripts, and goes into the Super Stop and Shop up the street, where they also have a pharmacy.

When he gets home he's fit to be tied...writes a letter to Walgreens...tells them what happened...includes phone number. Two days later he gets a call from Walgreens. They are very apologetic and admit that this NEVER should have happened. The person who lied probably didn't get fired, but I'll bet she did get her ass flamed by the store manager.
