Eunice,

Good for you, that was extremely poor customer service on his part to chew

you out for switching - I bet several people in that line go elsewhere now

if they possibly can especially with that as an example of the service they

can receive. What a putz...

what is the name/contact info for this pharmacy?

I would like to be able to afford all my meds and this might be the way.
