Now, I personally frequent the CVS on Las Vegas Blvd and Windmill. However, I had to pick up prescriptions today for my boyfriend and my boyfriend lives very close to this location so his prescriptions were sent here. I had no problem with the pharmacy technicians as they were quick and efficient at doing their jobs. They asked me if I needed any directions on using the medications and since I wasn't sure if the doctor went over that aspect with my boyfriend, I opted yes for the pharmacy "consultation."
The pharmacist at that location looked like he hated his miserable life. Not a single smile reached his face when he came up to me and started explaining directions. Now, during his explanation of the second prescription, I got a little lost and didn't quite understand what he was trying to say and of course that portrayed on my face. Apparently, that was a huge issue for him as that was when he started giving me attitude. He proceeded to ask how old my boyfriend was ... why? I guess he thought that we could read the directions ourselves instead of asking him so age was a huge factor? The looks he was giving me the whole time was as though he looked at me like I'm stupid. It was very unappreciated.
He ended up taking out the prescription to show me exactly what he was talking about, which he could've done so in the first place.
If I knew that I was going to get this type of treatment, then yes, I think I prefer to go home and read the directions myself or have my boyfriend read it. I don't need to be treated as though I'm an inconvenience to you. I'm sorry you hate your job and I'm sorry you hate your life. I'm sorry you hate having to read directions for your customers. I was really tempted to tell him that he was being a dick but why bother? He already looks miserable enough as it is.
This makes me glad that at my CVS location, the pharmacists there don't seem to have sticks up their butts.
Picking up prescriptions? If they ask you if you need instructions .. just say no. Read it yourself or make sure the doctor goes over your prescriptions with you.
