done!
Dude what the hell is your problem? CVS the worst company? Please. Look at our profit- look at our growth. Go sniff the butts of Rite Aid and Walgreens and see how they are doing. Have you even worked for cVS before? You guys really need to give this a break.
comparing CVS to Enron is like comparing apples to oranges. Enron defrauded honest tax payers out of millions of dollars with junk bonds. When did CVS pull such a stunt? Guys please let's cut down on this blatant attacks against a company that many of you have not even worked at for goodness sakes.
eagles22 have you ever taking an economic course? How do you think CVS or any other retail company pays bills and your salary? I am sorry but in case you forgot CVS is not a non profit organization. Why don't you look at the bright side of it? Don't you have customers that you call that really have missed their refills or had forget to fill a medication that they should be taking? Why don't you look at the positive side of it instead of always looking at the negative side of the business? WTF are you talking about no lunch break? Please tell me what is stopping you from sitting you arse down for 30 minutes to eat? Did your Sup or DM say you cant have a lunch break? Have you tried telling your tech not to put any waiters in for 30 minutes or if the Doctor calls tell them you are out to lunch and leave it on the VM or to call back? You are making these false lies that you are not true. There's nothing stopping you from taking a lunch. Walgreens doesn't shut down for 30 minutes either and how you can compare how Target runs their Pharmacy to a chain like CVS is beyond my imagination. I would say on avg Target fills about 100 to 150 scripts a ay they are not in the same ballpark as a CVS or a Walgreens.
I have heard that also- hey guys I am not saying CVS is foolproof or their are no hassles. I think if CVS incorporated text messaging on refills that would be great- let's face it- majority of Americans now have cell phones- if CVS could incorporate a system where the computer texts them when a refill is due and they can text back if they needed it or not would be great. The only population that it would effect is the elderly since many or not that tech savvy and they still use landlines.
Hmmm I thought if a pill hits the floor it becomes adulterated and you are not suppose to put it back in stock. Also about the Pharmacist who quit because he was told to fill every narcotic- I would not have quit but if I got reprimanded by the Sup there would be a lawsuit- I think that must have been an ignorant Sup that was telling him that because as he mentioned HE not his supervisor would be held responsible.
You can stop all these 14 hour no lunch break because that's a flat out LIE. If you work 14 hours and dont take a break that's your stupidity. Show me where CVS forbid you to take a 30 minute break? It's a federal law that if you work more than 6 hours you are required to take a 30 minute break- if you don't have enough guts to tell your techs to not put any waiters in for 30 minutes or if you can't tell your techs to tell doctors to leave scripts on VM or to call back in 30 minutes than again that's your tough luck. Once again- CVS does not force you to work 14 hour shifts- if that's the schedule you and your partner come up with than tough. There are other profession that work 12, 14, and 16 hour shifts to so don't act like this is just something exclusive to CVS. After all the LIEs you told have you told them the nice fat check you take home? When you worked for CVS you had to be making at least 112l a year- that's triple what the median FAMILY income in America is. In your world you want to get paid a six figure salary and do 50 scripts a day right? Sorry earn that money and STFU and stop complaining. Are you telling me Walgreens the Pharmacist are not working their asses off? Are Walgreen Pharmacist just sitting down reading the paper with a boat load of techs around them? In my area Walgreens have less tech help than CVS. Get a life and quit your Lies.
Again another lie- there's no way you are going to convince me that a store that does 600 a day- and let's just say 3000 scripts a week- I am not even going to include the weekends- is only going to have 3 techs. You are so full of crap that's it's laughable. If you only have 3 techs than you have to have 4 or 5 PSA's during those shifts that you are not counting into the equation. If you can prove to me that there's a CVS that does 600 scripts in a 14 hour day and only allows you to have the budget for 3 techs as you put it- I will delete my account and also I will send you one weeks check. You are a Bold face Liar to the utmost degree. You are making a mountain out of a molehill and are grossly exaggerating your LIES. There's no cVS in this country that says yeah you are doing 600 scripts so we are just going to budget you for 3 techs and nothing else- surely you must not be counting PSA'- which Walgreens doesn't even have. So you telling me it's the Pharmacist - one tech in production- one tech at drop off and one tech at pick up- the whole entire day in a store that does 600 scripts a day? I am calling Bullsh*t on that- prove to me that CVS doesn't allow that particular store to have more techs or staff? Now if you only have 3 techs because that's what your PIC scheduled or because you had a bunch quit than that's a different story, but Mountain you are so full of it.
your point about CVS being sued is pointless. What large company has not been sued or investigated- let's take Wal-Mart- have they been investigated and sued? Hell yeah! What about Walgreens- don't think they been sued? Ask minority Pharmacist about Walgreens lawsuit 5 years ago where they had to pay millions because they were denying many minority Pharmacist M.I.C positions. Almost any large company is going to be in the position to be sued- it's capitalism- Best Buy has pending lawsuits- Frey's electronics had to pay fines for selling refurbished(sp) goods as "new" I can name tons of companies who are being investigated or being sued- that doesn't automatically make them a terrible company.. My point about Walgreens you ***** is that you try to make it as CVS is the only Retail company in the world that cuts hours that has volumes and where Pharmacist can't take a break. Does Walgreens shut it's doors for 30 minutes? Hell No! Trust me CVS will be around a lot longer than you will be and you can trust me on that- if you don't like the company don't work for them or shop at their stores. You are just a lazy Pharmacist that wants to make six figures and do as little work as possible. You want to sit on your arse and verify about 10 scripts an hour not answer the phone and expect to get top dollar.
haha that was a nice one! a genius indeed!
Thank you- I don't see the big idea of making the phone calls- so Mountain is mad because they added telemarketing to the business- well whoopdee doo- I don't know any telemarketers making 112k a year- jeez give me a break. Mountain can't get it through his thick head that CVS is a public traded company and they are for PROFIT- they have to do what needs to be done to keep shareholders happy- and one of the big ways is pushing sales via script count. That's just the nature of the beast and it is what it is- how he figures CVS is destroying our profession is beyond me- does he not think Walgreens doesn't want to increase script count??? What major Retail company does not want more sales in their Pharmacy?
I agree that coming out of Pharmacy school I would never expect the business side to outshine more than the HealthCare side of it and yes that is the big downfall of Retail is that the dollar is more important than the customer- again it's the nature of the beast-I don't see this changing anytime soon- all I can say is Retail is not for everybody- nuff said!
