I can't tell you the number of hospital pharmacists I've met who were CVS/Rite Aid/Walgreens et. retail guys that quit after just a few years.

I was one of them.

There is also another issue. Over the last several decades tradionally men’s fields like medicine and pharmacy is now ateast half female. Women turn every profession int nursing. By that I mean that they go in and out of their field as they need for childbearing.

Despite the fact that the CVS website says the prescription is ready, they say that they are working on it and it will be 1 to 2 hours before it is ready. You go home. You go back hoping the line is shorter. Nope. You wait again. Everybody in line starts addressing each other as “Comrade”.

Haven't had that problem in the Socialist Democratic Peoples Republic of Md. yet.

Did you stay in the profession? If so, what did you transition into?

I retired as a hospital pharmacist.

An independent pharmacy opened in our town about 18 months ago…former RiteAid guy…….a great place.

Companies are using Covid as an excuse to close stores and save money. Maybe it is possible they cannot find people to who want to work.

The branches for my bank near me are closed during the weekend and close at 5pm during the weekday. It has been like this for over a year.

It is a pain for me because I sometimes have to see a teller and make a deposit. I can only go if I am off work during the week day.

I am the only guy in my small department. The others are either always late, leave early, or taking the day off.

I am the only guy in my small department. The others are either always late, leave early, or taking the day off. I am always the first one there and the last one to leave. I am always there in the office. I am not the one in charge.

“I went to two Bank of America locations today and both were closed.”

I expect them to close quite a few offices. The one closest to me has been shut down for months.

When I last went inside a BoA office, a lady posted at the door insisted I cover my face to enter.

I said, “What else can the bank make me do in order to access my money? Stand on one leg?” The manager was alerted, very nice, and escorted me to a teller.

Well, I’m probably on a list somewhere. I consequently moved my business to a local bank that welcomes me. And nobody wears a mask.

[Allegra]

What? In every CVS commercial everyone has their mask on.

I stopped in CVS a few days ago. All of the employees had diapered faces. None of the customers did.

I wonder if CVS has a nationwide mask requirement for their employees?

Forecast:

Now hiring UNVACCINATED PEOPLE. The Vaccinated need not apply.

The controlled collapse of America.

[ronnie raygun]

Following the plan. We are seeing the end to this and they are ramping it up in high gear because they see thier control waning

I order my prescription drugs from a Canadian firm. Some U.S. owned drugs have had their patents expire in foreign countries, so they can make MUCH CHEAPER generic brand versions of the same drug overseas.

It's illegal to import drugs for resale, but legal to import drugs for your personal use.

I've ordered prescription drugs from a Canadian company. The drugs are manufactured in India, and shipped from Switzerland.
