/r/TalesFromThePharmacy
Pharmacy work requires its own special laws and regulations and with it comes so many wonderful problems.
How many times do you find yourself saying any of these: - Your insurance sets the price - That is your medical card, not your prescription card - Your prescription is expired ... Yes even though you still have refills
If so this is the place to be!

New Subreddit Theme Activated. Any complaints, pass them to /u/CptJango, not me. Thanks.
This is a place where people in the world of pharmacy can tell their story, vent about what occurred, and read some humor about others.
Rules:
1) NO violations of HIPAA - anyone doing this will be banned without warning
2) Are you a patient or someone else who wants to voice their complaint about your local pharmacy? This is not the correct place for it. Please direct those posts to /r/TalesFromTheCustomer.
3) If you have a specific question then those are more suited for /r/Pharmacy than here. If posting there then get straight to the question without too much unneeded information. Any posts containing either of these will be removed.
4) Images are okay but an accompanying story must appear in the comments
5) Anything read here should not be taken as any type of medical advice. If you are searching for specific medical advice then Reddit is not the place to look for it. Please direct yourself to a medical professional such as your local pharmacist, doctor, or provider.
6) Questions regarding Pharmacy Technicians can also be found in /r/PharmacyTechnician
7) If it isn't a tale then it doesn't belong here and will be removed

Well, I’ve got a new one and I’m just flabbergasted.
I’m on vacation and I still have to deal with idiots. My bf and I stopped at a Walgreens to get snacks at about 8pm. A guy approached us and asked my bf if he was a doctor. BF: no sir, what makes you think I am a doctor? Guy: I got money! (Shows us some wadded up cash) I need a prescription written right now! Bf: well I’m not a doctor. Guy leaves mumbling about needing a prescription. Me: what, i can’t be a doctor? He’s not even going to ask? And I’m the one who actually knows how to write prescriptions!
I can’t get away from these people.
