Any retail is like thar, whether you are a cashier or pharmacist, sooner or later your skin will be as thick as hippos
 
"your video will be all online" like it's going to show anything besides the guy taking the video as being ignorant :smack: Lmao
 
For the people video recording/violating HIPAA (who can't even properly spell racist):

That wasn't bad at all. The customer didn't even yell or cuss.

He took a video and put it online for the world to see. The guy would have easily lost the job had he said a single thing wrong.. Corporate would have made him a scapegoat to protect their reputation.

This act was far more malicious than just yelling or cussing.

He didn't say anything wrong so there's nothing to worry about.
 
Pharmacist was right. When I worked as a tech we didn't accept matricula. We only accept drivers license or passport. If an undocumented came by we would tell them to get a prescription. Not racist at all.
 
The guy tried to get the pharmacist fired because he was following the law? I don’t miss retails at all.

This is exactly right. Corps don’t care about you. Fair or not fair...they will can your ass.
 
Isn't the purpose of an ID is so someone can be identified? Why isn't the matricula valid ID for this pharmacist? I don't know anything about California pharmacy law but it would be fine to use this in Texas.

Corporations have different policies. I know walmart only accepted Driver's license(or state id) and passports. Not sure if they changed it to allow matricula.

It's not clear what they were trying to get from the pharmacy. If it was pseudoephedrine, then there are specific forms of ID that are acceptable per the DEA, and a matricula is not one of them: https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/meth/alternate_ID2.pdf
 
Looked like the patient handed a cII rx script, which the pharmacist returned.

couple of side notes. Most Asians, especially immigrants are not racist. Clearly pharmacist was attempting to follow what he thought was the policy.

having a script filled is not a right, if the patient isn’t satisfied, he can go to another pharmacy and file a corporate complaint. At the very list, he can get a gift card for his trouble.

and for god’s sake, wtf is a matricula.

a pt should have no right to record a pharmacist without the pharmacist permission

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Go find any Asian person dating a black dude and ask how the family reacted. Bonus if said individual is Korean.

Also: time travel to 1992 South Central LA and chat with any Asian store owner.

See the word "most", which i wrote.

Maybe less likely to be racists towards fellow immigrants of other ethnicities?
 
Pharmacist isn't a racist but he is annoying. I would have just accepted the Matricula as ID and logged it into the pseudo log. Damn, there have been times where I didn't even bother checking ID when selling pseudo or didn't even log it.

In my 7 years being a pharmacist, and 13 years working in the pharmacy field, I have never seen a pharmacist get in trouble over this or a pharmacy get audited or inspected for this. I've had DEA agents come into a pharmacy I worked at after we got burglarized and never did they ask to see the PSE logs.
 
If anyone ever did this to me and somehow got me fired because of it, I would devote my existence to destroying their life in every way possible.

Cash --> bitcoin ATM ---> bitcoin to VPN subscription--> Public wifi somewhere with untraceable VPN, while wearing a disguise just in case --> God help them what I might come up with.
 
Mexican consulates issue the matricula with U.S. addresses as a lot of these cardholders are in the U.S. illegally and do not have Mexican passports.

Doesn't mean pharmacies should accept those as photo ID according to CMEA.

If he was buying Sudafed, they track how much a person buys using the license or passport. Idk what that matricula thing is.

LMAO you are delusional. I've never heard the term "white people" until I heard all the Asians say it in college. I was going to mention how Asian parents feel about black people or rap music too but it was already mentioned above.
 
This sounds all too familiar scenario in retail pharmacy. Some lie and manipulate to get what they want.
 
Looks like another example of "but the other pharmacy did it last time!"

If you actually watched the video you would see the illiterate trash presenting a Willy Wonka golden ticket and this is not a PSE transaction. Walgreens may require valid photo ID but furnishing governtment-issued photo ID to validate identity is not required by California statute (this incident took place in California).

Since California is a two-party consent state I would have simply said I do not consent to being recorded and possibly get the security guard/AP over to escort them out.

calm down bro. I said “most”, not all. I am not Asian... just my observation.... my classmates, who were mostly immigrants, were not racist.

Board rules only talk about "suitable identification". A matricula is a valid government issued ID card, is it not?
 
Why are Asians singled out as the ‘only’ group that is racist, perhaps other than whites?

Other minorities can be racist too, you know. That includes in the form of violent racial attacks. Look up Xinran Ji.

I personally don’t even think “most” applies to your statement. No offense, and I’m not trying to paint an entire group of people as racist, but there are definitely racial biases in Southeast Asian immigrants arriving after 1965 that is well studied and well documented.

It’s a complex topic though, not gonna dive deep here. The racial biases extend against Caucasians as well.

They're not. We're just disagreeing with a comment in this thread. Practically every group is racist to some extent.

This always feels like a silly gotcha when people are usually saying "racist" to mean "bigoted" and not "creating a system of institutionalized racial suppression."

How is video recording in an open pharmacy area not a HIPAA violation? Someone is using an instrument to potentially enhance images and record other patients' healthcare information

It's not a HIPAA violation for the person recording. They have every right to record patient information that's visible to them. The covered entity is the one responsible for making sure it doesn't happen.

I have to agree. When I worked down in South Texas (San Antonio and south there of ) la matricula was used all of the time. It worked for narcotic pick up just like a drivers license. As for pseudofed sales, which I believe to be added into a database at the point of sale, I don't know how the matricula would work. But then again I don't remember a whole lot of customers from Mexico coming in to buy Sudafed.

i don’t know about that. Store I worked at, the store manager said anything recorded inside of the store requires written consent. I’d hope recording a pharmacist requires his or her consent too...

If the state of Texas doesnt consider it to be a valid ID, I wouldn't interpret it to be suitable identification by that same state's board. I may just call the board and ask their position on it sometime next week to be sure. I've never personally handled a matricula.

My position is a pharmacy is private property and a business has a right to instruct someone to stop filming on their property. The patient filming cant be hit with a HIPAA violation, but I can see how a pharmacy allowing someone to record can make them liable for allowing other patient info to be recorded and displayed to the public. No one has a right to record on private property if said business doesnt consent to it/tells them to stop.
