1 pm walmart today
I go to get my medicine at walmart. the lot is FULL very FULL. my wife parks in the slanted lines of a handicapped space with my tag displayed. I go to the pharmacy give them a $100 for my meds and the woman says step next door for consulation. I tell her I am in a hurry. sorry step next door . I tell her I know what the doctor prescribed. sorry step next door. there was no pharmacist there. I waited 5 minutes.
I said I am in a hurry where is he. he is helping some one else from outside the counter. I told her give me my money or the medicine. she refused to do either
as I was about to call the cops , the pharmacist came to me and told me you need to be f.. patient. I told him I didn't need a second rate doctor to read the labels off the medicine already prescribed for me to take up my time
has anyone else had this problem with walmart
I CAN READ I am NOT illiterate.
so why do these people feel the need to read what is written on the bottle and just take up your time
RANT OVER

I really try to avoid walmart as much as I can.
Is there a Costco where you live their medicine is a good price. Man Dad takes a bunch of stuff and he priced around and Costco had the best deal.0 -
I get my meds at Kroger. When ever a "scrip changes the Pharmacist needs to talk to you. BUT you just have to initaize the med stub "No ". then on your way you go.

Cause their lawyers created the procedure to keep your lawyers from filing suit. 0 -
Walmart would be the last damn place I'd get my medicine....ever, way too many other price competitive choices if that's your goal. 0 -

Because a considerable portion of dumb-mart patrons are mental midgets.0 -
It's your fault for going there after noon. 0 -

It's great that you can read and understand the labels. Not everyone can. And, it's great that you understand your medication's interactions and side effects. Not everyone does. If you can't wait 5 minutes without throwing a huge hissy fit in the store, maybe YOU are the problem. Just saying.... 0 -
My insurance worked a deal with CVS. They now send my monthly mateince meds in the mail 90 days at the time with zero copay.They asked not to use Wal-Mart unless just had too. They even have a local mom & pop pharmacy as the preferred with lower copay than Wal-Mart 0 -

when the doctor stands there and goes into detail about the medicine PLUS, gives me written instructions, PLUS some of the meds I have taken before, I don't need someone to read a label . just saying....0 -
I get my Rx at Walmart because they are cheaper by at least 50%, I have never had a problem of any kind, the staff (including the Pharmacist) has always been respectful and friendly. Scripts have always been on time with no delays.
We all get in a hurry sometimes but the staff has a job to do and informing you about the meds is one of them, it's for your safety and well being, be thankful that there is a system in place to try to keep you alive and well.
Not everyone that shops at Walmart are midget brained losers, I have money and I'm educated but I'm always happy to save some money when I can.0 -
Not all prescriptions need to be explained. Although delayed because of that and being busy the request was not to give meds without the procedure but to either give meds or return money. A customer may have to go to the bathroom or have ice cream melting in the car or whatever reason that is important for them to leave with out having to justify to a Walmart employee. 0 -
When visiting walmart get there b4 9am to avoid the zombie rush... 0 -
NEVER get Rx filled at WalFart.........and that is ALL you need to know about that!
WalFart is not cheaper on most meds as have checked their prices against my locally owned pharmacy and no waiting for 25 people in line ahead of you.0 -
What gets me sometimes is that it takes so damn long to count 6 pills into a pill jar! Really it isn't like they are making the damn stuff open the big jar count out 6 or whatever number of the pills and put them in the little jar wrap a label on it and hand it to me LOL
They act like they are actually making the damn pills!0 -

Walmart & CVS is Aetna Insurance's preferred pharmacy in our area so we either get it there or pay more out of pocket some where else and Walmart is cheaper. I would guess that's the reason a lot of people go to Walmart instead of some where else. 0
