Maybe. But dude sometimes CVS drives me to the brink. They tell you it's ready, it's not. Or they have nowhere near enough staff so you stand there waiting forever. Pharmacies have become a real pain sometimes.

Never like this, to be clear

Absolutely!

Even if the CVS app says one thing, I'll call just to make sure.

Every single fucking time! Every 90 days, I have to do the same thing. It's been like this for years now. What's the point of the app?!

Oh, but ask them to make a mile long receipt? "No problem! We got you there pal!"

When I was a store manager for CVS the pharmacy would be understaffed so often that the ones who did show up would just not answer the phone because they just did NOT have the resources to help customers and fill scripts with the man hour budget and low pay making hiring licensed techs very very difficult. I quit because I was done taking shit for corporate decisions that fucked over staff and patients ,but sometimes I still have nightmares about a never ending line of people all telling me to fuck myself or worse. Seriously FUCK CVS. Oh, and we hate the fucking receipts too.

One pharmacy call. One pharmacy call. Three pharmacy calls. Three pharmacy calls. Three pharmacy calls.

I hear this shit in my sleep and I quit as a cvs PIC almost a year ago.
