#pharmacy tech stuff

I hate the customers at work who are anal about having their medication in an unopened bottle especially when the bottles don’t even come in the amount that is perscribed (ie 90 pill perscription for a 100 count bottle). And that means the customer will have to make up for the remaining amount out of pocket so they waste their money too.

Like this guy insisted on getting 100 pills for his perscription even though the perscription was for 90 pills and the insurance won’t cover more than that. So the dude had to pay out of pocket for the remaining ten (which means having to print out a seperate perscription taking up alot of the pharmacist’s time when there is already alot of shit to do) and then had the gall to complain about the price. Dude it is your own  godamn fault for being a paranoid fuckhead. You spent 20 extra dollars because you seem to think that the medication becomes tainted the second it is opened or taken out of the bottle

I have seen many customers at work try to swipe chip credit cards(and try to correct them before they swipe it since it makes an annoying noise if you try swiping a chip card). Today however, is the first time i have seen someone try and swipe their drivers licence

Pharmacy tech tip, if you feel weird about picking up your antiviral meds for STDs, don’t worry bc they’re not commonly prescribed so your tech is 70% likely to not know what it even is.

Even if they do know, it’s shit to treat someone any differently depending on their medical conditions so if they say anything you can absolutely drag their ass through corporate. Pick up your valacyclovir and biktarvy babes

I am not good at lying

So when a customer gives you a perscription that turns out to be fake at the pharmacy you aren’t supposed to tell them that you know it is a fake, you are just supposed to say you don’t have it or something like that. This customer kept on asking when the medication would come in/what other pharmacy had it and I had to keep putting her on hold to ask the other staff what to say.
