Well the pharmacy has cut back hours so much that I haven’t worked at my headquarters in many months. So I’ve been bouncing around filling in as a substitute/floater from store to store. I’ve done a lot of travelling and met a lot of nice people! Having said that, I’ve met a lot of not-so-nice people too!
A few weeks ago I was working at a store where a customer didn’t have any health insurance and his prescription costs were going to be over $400! The customer asked if there was any way I could help him to reduce the cost of his prescription. I asked him if he had Internet access, and he told me yes, he did. So I advised him to go online to the manufacturer’s website of the medicine and download a coupon for the medicine and bring it back to us.
The pharmacist overheard me telling the customer that he could do that, and he was so furious he told me to punch out and go home immediately and never come back into his store! Can you believe that? Because I was trying to help a customer save some money on his medicine!
Yes, there are some real jerks out there, that is for sure!
