[QUOTE="Pharmerholt, post: 1665153, member: 17007"] If you're tired of waiting on your prescriptions, find a slower independent pharmacy. They will appreciate your business and more of your cash will stay in OK. Also, Mondays near the first of the month (especially first monday of the new year) will be busy, expect to wait. If you go to Walgreens, make it clear when you would like to pick up your medication. If you're going to come back in 30 min to an hour tell the clerk/tech you would like your Rx as soon as possible. Also, understand that not everything is the pharmacy's fault (prior authorizations, drug not covered) Now that pharmacists can give flu shots, and flu season is approaching, it will be a challenge for pharmacies to keep up with the work load. Giving 1 flu shot can add 5 minutes to your wait time. The bigger chains are usually understaffed or poorly staffed, and that makes it even more difficult to keep up with workload. All in all, chain retail pharmacy is a terrible job. Everything is working against you. There are days where I didn't have time to go to the bathroom. I'm glad I got out of that. [/QUOTE]
