The OP is right. Boycott Walgreens.
The low-paid guy who takes the call can pass it up the line to the high-paid guy who makes the decisions. Or Walgreens can just read their mail.
I stopped going to Walgreens years ago when a pharmacist violated my Hipaa rights by getting real loud about a prescription that my doctor wrote in front of five people standing there. She even had the nerve to actually call my doctor who said it was between patient and physician.
FYI: I had fallen off my roof while blowing leaves out of my gutter and blown out my knee and ankle. I was a mess but no broken bones.
I have been boycotting Walgreens ever since. The problem is that Walgreens pharmacies as a whole makes a crack dealer look like they have morals. They are by far the largest purchasers of pharmaceuticals there is. They can actually control the cost of most drugs.
I had a family member who had a simple ear infection. They priced the ear drops at Walgreens - close to $80. I priced the SAME EXACT drops at Costco - $6. While you wont likely die from an ear infection my entire family thought that an $75 mark up was outrageous. There is nobody in my immediate family who will buy a thing at Walgreens. Yet they just keep popping up. Walgreens does not read their mail, they don’t even have common sense.
Living in Chicagoland there is a VERY exclusive suburb named Lake Forest. The Ex-wife of Walgreens heir Charles R. Walgreen decided she was going to keep pigs on her 3.3 million dollar parcel. This didn’t make for happy neighbors who are pretty affluent. The next door neighbor was a surgeon who had saved for years to live there. They sued with a 300 signature petition and Lake Forest passed an ordinance. The Ex-wife moved because she no longer had Walgreens cash being driven in by the truckload.
My moral is: Boycotting Colberts sponsors wont make one bit of difference. The best way to deal with Colbert is to not watch him. He isn’t funny, it’s the same late night crap over and over. Vote with your cable box if you still have one. Believe me, the big cable companies know what’s being watched and what’s not. Fining him just gives attention to a dying show. The last thing I want to do is give him any attention. Let him fade away into obscurity.
