Me last week: My wife needs this prescription filled.
Walgreens: we canโt fill it until next week because reasons.
Me: OK but my wife needs this prescription no later 10:00AM that day because she will be out of medication and missing a dose can result in seizures and Iโll have to call an ambulance.
Walgreens: we open at 7:00AM
Walgreens this morning: we deleted all the orders for your prescriptions.

@requiem mother fuckers - does any pharmacy have any instock in the state?

@reconbot itโs not a stock thing, they just continuously fuck-up orders and they are the only game around.
We normally do scripts though the mail but these have been changing as they figure out the right mix so thatโs not an option, and given the weather this time of year we try not to plan things that require more driving than necessary.

@requiem ahh I have a little competition around here, I've been able to go to the smaller places - I'm trying to keep them aloft but CVS is hard to beat with operations and supplychain and around here.
The smaller places though, pays to make friends in a pinch as I learned caring for my parents.

@reconbot ๐ฏ. We have one small local pharmacy but they have major supply issues so canโt be depended on for this sort of ad-hoc stuff.
I am however looking into synthesis again.

@kusuriya when did pharmacies get so powerful? When did they decide to become cops?
If a doctor orders the medicine, fill the fucking bottles and take my money; wtf?

@reconbot that's as much as I can say without violating the rules here ๐
