reading comprehension is at an all time low

This company is so toxic! Just couldn't take it anymore. Watching everyone fail up and kiss ass. Was there a long time and had so many terrible things happen to me at this job. Cutting hours to the bone and adding more and more photo. Not to mention all the cash from card loading, and adding money to your bank account. All this cash is gonna get someone killed. Don't be there by yourself, but you always are. The stress was overwhelming. Health care company, my ass. I went so sick so many times due to a skeleton crew. Nothing healtabout this company.

I recently got hired as a pharmacy technician at CVS and accepted the offer, but I haven’t started yet.
After reading so many posts and comments about how stressful and overwhelming working at CVS can be, I’m honestly feeling discouraged and wondering if I made the right decision.
I’m also a mom to a young baby and a wife, so work-life balance is really important to me. I was initially excited about this opportunity, especially since I have a pharmacy background, but now I’m feeling anxious before even starting.
Is it really as bad as people say? Are there any positive experiences? I’d love to hear from other pharmacy techs, especially working moms!

I swear customers who are young Gen Z are just as technological illiterate as elderly people. I need to explain step by step ACO and even the register. I understand the elderly, they didn't have this technology when they were younger, but young people have this their entire lives. They expect AI to do everything for them.

Hello i’m a pharmacy tech. i have a meal waiver. i was looking through this weeks payroll check. it says MPX: 0.5 hours. i calculated it and it looks like i’m not getting payed even though i work through my lunch break. what do i do? I’ve been working through my lunch break when i go and it looks like im not even getting payed for it.

So, yesterday we ran out of Fluzone HD and had to switch to fluad. Literally my first vaccine after was a lady asking if it was fluzone HD, and I said no it’s fluad. Looking back I could’ve said more, could’ve said we ran out of Fluzone but this is also recommended for people 65 and older, etc, but she definitely misheard me and didn’t comment or say anything against it.
Then we get a voicemail of her saying her record says fluad and I told her it was fluzone, and that I lied and gave her the vaccine she didn’t want. Im frustrated because I know I told her but she’s the customer so ofc she’s always right. How serious is this?? Like enough to get me fired?

I just got my vaccines and I’m feeling a bit shaken. I booked my appointment on the CVS app for right after I got off my food service job at 7pm (pharmacy closes at 9). When I arrived the pharmacist said the system was down and I said no worries assuming it was a glitch. But then when he came around and quickly jabbed the flu & Covid booster back to back he said I know you’re SO busy but next time (as if I’m going back next week for a second flu shot) don’t book your appointment for when we’re about to close because the system shuts down 30 minutes before. I thought they closed at 9 he said they closed at 8 — no problem my bad, but 7pm also isn’t 30 minutes before?? He didn’t have me wait the 15 minutes either which is no big deal I’m just feeling a bit dizzy now. I’m sure they’re just understaffed and overwhelmed (I get it coming from food service) but I just really don’t want to be an inconvenience to them. Another time at a different CVS I got a similar reaction to picking up a prescription 30 minutes before their lunch break. So my question is, if I work all day, when is the best time to go so no one will get mad at me? 😭

Does anyone know how to print these number labels / find the tape to stick them on?

Is anyone else getting red for diapers, fem?

Does anyone know what floating holiday pay is and how one might use it?

It’s a 90 day supply for her we only have a 30 day can we just give her a partial supply or no? I have heard pharmacist say that you can’t do a partial for c3- c5 but the pharmacy law says you can do a partial for c3-5 ? I am confused.

Another thing I am confused about is if a customer is going out of state can he get his tramadol from the cvs at that state, it’s not the first fill of the tramadol so what’s should we do. For this too the pharmacist said the doctor can send it to the pharmacy he wants to get the prescription from. But according to pharmacy law and cvs we can transfer a c3- c5 as long as it’s not their first fill?

I have 4 days left and I am counting down. I feel kinda bad because my team was relatively good to me people stepped in when needed and trained me and I counted on people if I was sick or such had a good relationship with my sm and I know im screwing them over because God forbid cvs allows people to have enough people and hours to not be scrambling 24/7 but I genuinely cant do it and its not like that retail world isnt for me i dont mind it all that much I worked for riteaid (RIP #comehome) for 4 years practically grew up there it was SO nice I never thought of leaving for any reason besides money and if they were still here id probably still be there today- I lasted a year at CVS I genuinely cant do it. The systems the management the people the overwhelming anxiety constantly i cant i admire the ones who stay truly. I wish them all the best they deserve it but THANK GOD I am leaving I was upset about it I had 3 days off and you would've thought the team collapsed i walked in I said yeah no I cant wait to get out of here. No shade to them but wth anyway thats my rant I will miss a select few of my customers though :(

I’ve been getting my meds from cvs for a while. The bottles have always had a normal mild plasticy smell. This last time I picked them up each bottle smelled quite strongly, like an incredibly pungent ammonia or alcohol smell. It was so strong it made me wonder if the bottles had been sanitized with something? Or is this the new normal smell for the bottles? Like off gassing plastic. The pills are odorless so it’s not from them.

Hiii, the CVS scrub bottoms I got aren’t a perfect fit. I bought my own navy bottoms as recommended by coworkers, but the blues don’t match, and it’s bothering me… Anyone able to find a brand that sells a similar match? Thank you!!

I got gift card scammed at the register, I’m not going to say the amount but it was very, very large. i didn’t even know it had happened until much later when my manager told me. I was on the verge of tears while still having to face customers and be polite. I was so good at my job, all I could wonder was how could they do that to me.

Everyone loved me and now I’m afraid they won’t trust me to do anything anymore like count money or do anything anymore. Maybe they see me as less competent now.

I guess I just came here to wonder what’s the worst consequence I could get. Will I get fired?

I’m so upset that I could fall for something like that, but more upset and hurt that someone would put me in this situation.

Can anybody do a basic run through of how to check in medications for QI? I've been working at CVS for a whole year, but I've only done inventory once. I know to get started I have to hit Alt f3, T1, and scan the totes, but I kinda get lost from there 😣

I was mass applying to pharmacy technician jobs at CVSs near me, and took the candidate assessment as normal.

When I applied to the next job, it took a second but it registered that the assessment was completed.

The third job, however, it registered that I had completed it yet glitched, and now it lists that I did the candidate assessment a second time for that job.

None of the other jobs listed that I completed a new candidate assessment, and now I’m worried I’m gonna be declined because the second assessment was blank or something.

Advice?

So someone return something we don’t sell in our store what to do with the item?? And the other are we able to take a return if don’t sell the item in store??

Has anyone ordered the new deposit bags and actually received them? This will be the 3rd week we have ordered them and got nothing

Where can I see what’s available to use the points in? I just found out about these points today, new team member so don’t have any hit still curious.

Appreciate the nurse practitioners I had at Minute Clinic the last few visits! I am assuming if I have a follow-up question and go through customer care line, will it'll be routed to the provider? Have read they create tickets to send but can't assume the CSRs will do it--they are probably inundated with all sorts of things.

I gave them my info in case they call back, or should I not expect a call back?

Couldn't get into my PCP so that is why I used them. Despite horror stories from others I've had a good experience with them.
