I wonder how this will work around campus with students. Most places here have 3-5 people sharing one account. Sure will rack up points with everyone watching so much youtube.

Walmart Pharmacy Error Causes Teen To Lapse Into Coma

@tnycatgirl: I'm a pharm tech, and let me tell you, most people don't want "personal care". The only thing people care about is speed. They want their meds and they want out.

I'm in the suburbs of DC and we fill over 250 prescriptions on a "slow" day. With only 1 pharmacists and at most 4 techs or associates (associates do all the techs do here but enter prescriptions) it gets very hectic. You have customers yelling at you to hurry up and get angry when you tell them to wait. Not only that but we have to deal with phone calls to and from doctors, patients, insurance companies, and sometimes the manufacturer/distributor of the drug.

There is always a line and sometimes the line is filled with crazies who are just looking for an argument and cuss at you and the pharmacist. You even have those people who don't want to pay and will throw stuff at you.

I would assume at any store nothing leaves the pharmacy until the pharmacists checks things over.

What I've noticed is the best customers are the ones who work in the medical field themselves. Not saying the mistake is right but they do happen. Even people who are as trained as a pharmacist.

And where do all you techs make so much?!?!?!

Went with my sis to one closest to us. Guy said it was all gone.

Went to a 2nd one, he said they were gone. Gave a sad face and said it was the 2nd store. He said we could have a free small one. Yey!

Macy's Confiscates Your Item Because "Another Customer Wants It"

I worked at Macys and suits mean squat. Everyone is "required" to wear a suit. The way to tell is managers have red name tags while regular employees have beige name tags.

I would've explained what was going on and call other stores. It isn't hard to check inventory on the computer then call and tell them to put it on hold. Bad service, go to website and complain. Managers will make sure it doesn't happen again.

I get free blankets and t-shirts at sports events with my college branded credit card! :)

I think I am spending a bit more money than usual with my credit card. The thing is I am still within what I can pay. I don't see how people can go crazy spending, interest rates are up the wazoo!

@govkid201, I think I only know one person who actually did that financial program. I know all my friends are envious of my VT card. :) Its got the stadium on it!
