Last night a customer came in at 20 mins before we close the pharmacy. Her Rx was ready and she paid for it. She came back saying that her insurance pays for 30 days supply for condoms, while we gave her a box of 12 condoms. I told her thats what medicaid covers as the rx was only written for 1 box of condoms with no quantity of condoms in it.We still for her satisfaction did a new rx for her, which did not get through.its was 10 past nine and i told her that you need to get the exact kind that your insurance company pays for. She demanded that we speak to her insurance company and figure things out.We tried it was closed.She wanted me to call another number // which i refused and told her that this is going to be dealt with tomorrow as its going to take long. It was already 15 mns past 9pm and 9 pm is when when close.She started to threaten me that if I did not fill her rx right now, she will not let me go out of store. I closed the pharmacy and tried to move out , she blocked my way and pushed me back toward the door. I tried to still make way and told her I ll call the police.. she refused to budge. Eventually assent protection guy and manager came and I walked out.I was in complete shock and shaken by what happened. I am 5 months pregnant and could not think of idea what would have happened had she pushed me hard.
Coming back home i wrote a brief note to my District Manager how i was under shock and how the customer tried to threaten and physically assault me.

I have still not heard from the dm.. shockingly not even few words of consolation.. i am now extremely angry but do not know what exactly to do ????
Could you guys pls advice me . cos I do want management to take some action against the customer and make them realize of their passiveness on the matter????

 

[rxlea]

If she actually shoved you, you should have called the police to make a report and press charges for assault. Then your manager would have to look into the matter... Not sure what you can do now. I suppose you could still make the report. Were there any witnesses?

Sorry to hear. Things like this happens all the time. I would have called the police and let them deal with her. You should not be harrassed over a box of condom. Also, I would not let her come back to the pharmacy again.

In terms of hearing back from the DM, most of them are people and have things to do. While it would be nice to hear back, they might have not gotten your letter, at a meeting, etc. Most of them might have hundreds of emails/vms to get back. In any case, I cant imagine the DM being able to do much.

 

[lorain]

as soon as this person touched you

thats a call to the cops and file a assault charge

 

[eddie269]

Sounds like a Target pharmacy? Definitely send a report to your store manager and hopefully AP has tape of the incident.

 

[Unchained]

If this is CVS the DM will probably write you up for being rude to the customer and send the customer a $20 gift card. On a serious note next time first threaten to call the police by picking up the phone. If they don't begin to head for the door make the call. Also call a front end person back to the pharmacy. People are less likely to do something with witnesses.

 

[DRxUGS]

In addition to everyone else's suggestions, refuse to fill any of her medications at your pharmacy. Next time she comes in, call security right away, and tell her to pick which pharmacy she wants her meds transferred to as she is no longer welcome at yours.

You are 5 months pregnant and you put yourself in a position where a customer could physically touch you ?



I would have called the cops the minute she refused to leave the store, let alone after she PHYSICALLY TOUCHED ME. I would never put myself in a position where she could touch me anyway or reach to me. No job is worth it to me compromising the health of my future child.



How you still have not filed an assault charge is beyond me. Is this for real or are you just trolling ?

 

[Quiksilver]

I wouldn't be trigger happy with a patient who doesn't know her boundaries. To be honest, I'd rather not raise the stakes with the fear of retaliation. She clearly has no problem pushing you. By no means am I a pushover, but theres a point where I back down.

 

[Sparda29]

Wow, just wow. I guess you were in shock about how it was happening, but if I were you, I would have hit her back. (And it's probably all on camera, so you'd be in the clear with the law.)

 

[Newpharmacist]

This is Walmart store if anyone is wondering.We here report to DMs.
I was off today so I called the pharmacy manager in the morning and told her what had happened. She anyways went ahead gave the customer 3 boxes of condoms, made her happy and leave.
On the other hand DM, who still hasn't replied to my email and to my text that I did in the evening as to how upset I was for not having heard a word from her, hasn't bothered to call or reply. She however called the pharmacy and had the manager check the cameras to see what exactly happened.
And how ironic is that that the cameras captured all ...the customer trying to block my way out and just skipped the part where she pushed me????
Could it be that AP/Management people are trying to diffuse matters?
How can I press charges.. do I make a police report considering the cameras didn't capture her pushing me.. she is huge black lady, should I be concerned about my security?

I have been extremely stressed out all day, dont know about what more .. the incident itself or management reaction (DM here).

 

[flyerschickxox]

I can't really take this seriously for two reasons...
1) Why would you not call the cops when it happened? Putting yourself and unborn baby in danger isn't exactly smart.
2) The following comment:
"she is huge black lady, should I be concerned about my security? "

I'm kinda disgusted by the bolded. If anyone touch one of my co-workers I would NOT serve them, let alone they'd have the cops called on them the minute they stepped into my store.

Aside from email and text, have you tried calling your DM? Perhaps there isn't a clear course of action yet, but she definitely should have spoken to you once she was aware of the situation.

Who knows if this is real, but it's a hell of a lot easier to respond as an armchair quarterback than to actually be in the heat of the moment.

I d rather ignore what you r saying. It's ok with me to get one less advice.
Just FYI, I was so under shock did nit know what I cud do. As for me being scared , yes I am this area is rich with ppl with criminal histories, we are immigrants, don't know to what level the law can keep us safe. So yes I am scared of filling charges.

 

[Sparda29]

Ugh, I meant if I were in her spot.

5 month pregnant woman. no.

24 year old male with a solid build, yeah.

Don't use the ******ed immigrant comment to make it sound like you weren't sure to not call the police. I no of no country and I am an immigrant myself fyi where shoving someone and hitting them is considered ok, that's a basic human understanding that it's not ok to violently lay your hands on another human being.

I doubt you are now going to get much accomlished because you sort of missed your big window of opportunity.

And another thing, WHY did you still not call the cops, seriously wtf ? 😕

Agreed. No way anyone lays a hand on me in any kind of violent way and I don't call the cops right then.

Don't use the ******ed immigrant...

😱🙁

I meant the ******ed comment about being an immigrant hence not being protected.

I work at a clinic in Oakland, that is Oakland California, the city sworming with crime where prostitutes round our corners like clockword and 99 % of patients are immigrants not speaking a word of english. We got drug seekers, people straight from jail, prostitutes, all kinds of folks.


I am an immigrant myself but if one of them tried to assualt me, especially THE PREGNANT me, I'd be dialing the cops with my toes if I had to. The only person who tried to insult me, not even assult me, was banned.

I don't, I am working on a research project for patients with developmental disabilities, so obviously it wouldn't be taken the right way. I only use it on sdn and in the right sense.

And remember, "******ed" is STILL a proper diagnosis according the the latest diagnostic manual in the US (DSM IV). A lot of people try to say that it is an archaic term, but go look it up. And, it is supposed to still be in the DSM V when it comes out next year.

Of course, use of it (except in the absolute context of a properly diagnosed mental condition by a clinical psychologist) should probably be thought about more than once before it leaves your lips.

Just an FYI for all the people that "think" they know about psychological conditions/diagnoses.

The only proof that the customer touched/pushed me was in the camers .. which apparently has not been captured by the camera!! So there is practically no evidence of a physical assault.
W/ o evidence it will only mean putting myself into further stress.
To your other comments on me being ******ed, I have no energy to comment.

 

[Pharmacy Kid]

She was in shock, probably why she didn't immediately contact the police. Some people who get sexually assaulted don't even call the police . . . As for the video evidence, was the scene of the incident outside of the camera's angle?

 

[MountainPharmD]

If this is CVS the DM will probably write you up for being rude to the customer and send the customer a $20 gift card. On a serious note next time first threaten to call the police by picking up the phone. If they don't begin to head for the door make the call. Also call a front end person back to the pharmacy. People are less likely to do something with witnesses.

Chit if it were CVS they would have given a $50 gift card, wrote you up and make you write a letter of apology.

Just an fyi, save your lecture for someone else. I don't think - I know about it more than you do.



I will use ******ed whichever way I like on the internetz, just like ghey with this particulat spelling doesn't equal using gay in the offensive manner, ******ed was not used by me in its
literal sense. So piece out, bro ? I'll use it how I like and you can go lecture someone else.

So no one else seen her assault you, not even the tech ? Are you absolutely sure there is no evidence like have you seen the video recording yourself ? 😕

I would still file a police report, without filing it you welcome further violence from this particular patient. You dont know what she is going to do next time she comes in.


I didnt call you ******ed fyi, I called your comment ******ed.

 

[lorain]

rofl

 

[lorain]

1) the pharmacy manager went against you, i would never work for a manager who doesnt have my back

2) your DM blows, but thats not saying much a lot of them cant do their job properly

3) i think you missed the window of opportunity to do anything significant, especially if the video evidence is not there

personally, id ban the person from the pharmacy and transfer their drugs to whatever store they want

1. If you took this as a direct affront to you, then you need to thicken your skin a bit. It was not directed to anyone in particular but rather to the general public that seem to think they know about the term ******ation. I was actually agreeing with you about the term. Hence, the part about having your back showing it is still in the DSM.

2. You have no idea what my background is and unless you have a current practicing license that you can produce (and I mean a clinical psych, not a MSW or a school psych), then dont tell me what "I dont know".

So PEACE OUT BRO!

You know what? I actually want to thank you some also. Upon further reflection, I have to give you props for riling me that quick. Been a long time since I have had someone do that who is not my wife. You are obviously a professional! 👍

I do stand by my immediately previous post though. I do not think the internet should be any different that talking to someone in person. If you dont have the cajones to use a certain vocabulary in public, then you shouldnt use it on the internet just because you have anonymity.

 

[xtsukiyox]

Hey, I know I'm not a pharmacist, so my advice is only educated by my non-pharmacy experience. But to all the people saying the OP missed her "window of opportunity"? BS.

OP, call the non-emergency line & speak with the officer there. Explain the situation and tell him you would like to file a report & charges, what your concerns are, and ask what your best course of action would be. I would keep the discussion about what your company / manager / DM is or is not doing for the assailant out of your discussion. Keep it on topic: you were assaulted at work. Give them any contact information they may need to look into the charges. If you don't feel like you got a good answer, go down to the police station and ask for someone to help you.


Absolute worst case scenario, the police have to file a report for you, which at least creates the precedent in case (heaven forbid) something happens with this woman again, or there is another similar incident during which your company refuses to take action.

at least the scumbag was purchasing condoms.... at least attempting to not reproduce at an alarming rate is the least most idiots can do... and a medicaid patient complaining about something? Shocking 🙄

 

[rph3664]

That woman should not only be banned from the pharmacy, she should be banned from the store, period.

As for the comment about the customer being black, maybe the OP was afraid of being accused of racial discrimination? 😕

And the manager GAVE the troublesome customer the condoms. Free merchandise, gift card, what's the difference?

 

[VCU07]

Insurance pays for condoms? I haven't worked retail in a while...lol. So, if you didnt fill enough condoms and she got pregnant, will you be paying child support?

 

[Sparda29]

Yup. At least NYS Medicaid does. Saw this on my IPPE rotation, and I think it was like a 60 or 90 pack of condoms that we dispensed for a month's supply. This pharmacy had a niche for HIV prescriptions. Argument is this, either the state pays for the condoms, which are probably cost like $10 for the whole box, or you wanna pay for someone's HIV meds for the rest of their life, potentially at least $1500/month.

 

[Unchained]

What I have found out over time is that management is not so concerned about what a customer does to you either verbally or physically. They are much more concerned about being sued if you do something to them. Save money and pay your bills so you can get away from the big companies that don't care about you.

I am 5 months pregnant and could not think of idea what would have happened had she pushed me hard.

Could you guys pls advice me . cos I do want management to take some action against the customer and make them realize of their passiveness on the matter????

In this kind of situation, you aren't going to achieve anything by arguing with a customer. They are always going to think they are right, and they want what they think belongs to them. So.. you give it to them. That's it. That's the basic rule of retail pharmacy: give them whatever they want.

In this case, you do a refund or edit the sold Rx, and change it to a month supply, how many ever condoms the person wants, 30, 60, 90 for a month. Then you take the original Rx, write on there "8/18/11 MD OK QTY #30". Then just rescan the Rx.

After all, the customer is going to be paying the same copay I'm assuming, right? A zero or one dollar copay?

This gives the customer what they want, makes you avoid the entire hassle of fighting, and covers your butt when Medicaid comes to audit your Rx's.

Don't pick fights, just give them what they want. The only time you should pick a fight if what you are going to dispense is really going to HARM the customer and the customer doesn't think so. 1 box, 2 box, 3 boxes of condoms, just give it to them.

Our district guy says if the customer is angry and its less than $20 in question towards making the customer happy, give it to them. Retail is so entertaining sometimes.

Not sure if serious

 

[owlegrad]

Not sure if serious

That is how I would have approached it to be honest. What is the point of argueing? Not everyone is meant to work with the public, it takes a certain kind of personality. She wants more condoms, give her more condoms. Obviously the doc doesn't care how many she is going to get if he didn't specify.

I am not saying that it is OK to be physically assaulted. It is not.

I don't have any anonymity on this forum, a good chunk of people, including most mods are fb friends with me and know me personally. My Sdn screen name is on sdn fb page and dozens of people quite literally know my screen name. I posted pictures of myself multiple times. I met
random sdners for an sdn meet. I even had people come up to me on the street and ask me if I am cheburashka. People recognize me at conferences.

Where exactly is this anonymity that I am hiding behind 😕



Again, you seem to misunderstand - I dont use ******ed in offensive manner to refer to
someone, but I will occasinally use it with reference to inanimate objects or things, even then when I use it, I dont use it in its literal sense. I already talked about it but you seem to
either completely brush it off or pretend to misunderstand. Just like using ghey is not the
same as using the word gay in the offensive manner, ******ed was not used by me in its literal
sense as an insult. If you choose to take it that way, that is up to you but certainly not
how I meant it.

I grew up in san francisco for christ's sake, that's the nation's capital of political correctness and tolerance and based on the forum discussions in the past, I can teach political correctness to quite a few on this forum.

Yup. At least NYS Medicaid does. Saw this on my IPPE rotation, and I think it was like a 60 or 90 pack of condoms that we dispensed for a month's supply. This pharmacy had a niche for HIV prescriptions. Argument is this, either the state pays for the condoms, which are probably cost like $10 for the whole box, or you wanna pay for someone's HIV meds for the rest of their life, potentially at least $1500/month.

CA does too, I am sick of dispensing them along with pregnacy tests. I dont get the combo. 😕
