I was Senior Tech/Tech Trainer for CVS. The ONLY thing the pharmacies

care about is how many scripts they process per day. The amount

determines pay raises and $$$$ amount for yearly bonuses and

promotions. ALL are driven to get the drugs in and out as quickly as

possible. On days when someone called in sick it was a nightmare. I

remember one time where both techs called in sick as well as the

Pharmacist. It was me and a floater Pharmacist The two of us

worked from 10:00am to 11:00pm non stop with pissed off people

yelling at us all day long. I didn't care about the sick people and

their meds! I did have a soft spot for Senior Citizens and would go

the extra mile for them.

My thoughts were hey your an adult with a problem that is supposed to

be taken care of by you. All I do is get the meds and sell them. When

things are back ordered we fax the Doctor for alternatives but they

rarely respond. We assume they call the patient. There are way to

many sick people going to a pharmacy to care about each and every

one. The people who got the best fault free service were the ones who

took control of their medication protocol to ensure things went

without a hitch. A pharmacy is not going to hold your hand and do it

for you.

I know I see the stupid pharmacy adds on TV and its a joke.

Sorry to be so hard but it really used to piss me off that few took

responsibility for their medication protocol.
