Covered Cherries at the front of the store, got to the pharmacy to pick up my meds, she rang up the total..then I noticed the candy was dark chocolate. Knowing my grandkids liked the milk cho., I said, oh, let me take these back up front and get the lighter cho. Oh, well, she says, I will have to get the manager over for THAT! What? I say...and that same 12 yr. old manager came over,...took me 20 minutes to exchange 2 boxes of candy, worth $5.00 that had never been taken from the store.<BR/>grrrrrrrrrbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-47393009949955056152008-11-19T22:01:00.000-06:002008-11-19T22:01:00.000-06:00Bless your heart~but I'm sure that sweat shirt sav...Bless your heart~but I'm sure that sweat shirt saved you from having to change pharmacies!

We moved our prescriptions from Fred Meyer (Kroger's) to Walgreen because when they came to town one of our pastor's wives worked there and we like the incentives they gave for transferring. Plus, they had a computer system in place that our insurance 'preferred' to work with and we didn't have to send proof of anything to anyone or confirm that we got what they said we did like we'd one in the past. But I have to tell you I've had a couple of experience not quite as bad as yours - but almost - and I'm thinking of transferring back. Especially when my doctor said I could no longer take the generic for something and they didn't 'catch' her words on the new prescription: BRAND NAME ONLY. NO GENERIC! I got home to find they had filled it with the generic as they had been doing. Had to go back and was told, 'Well, do you really want the brand name? The generic is cheaper!' Duh - my doctor had a reason I shouldn't take the generic. Hope you got to sit down and put your feet up when you got home.<BR/>~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-60068236849519516762008-11-19T15:19:00.000-06:002008-11-19T15:19:00.000-06:00Marlene, you are a saint.

The doctor was VERY SLOW...VERY SLOW. I thought I was in a Fellini movie because he sat down to write in the chart and talk to her and he was falling asleep!!!!! At least I thought he was falling asleep. I watched him more carefully and his eyes were rolling back in his head and his eyelids were fluttering. I excused myself and asked his receptionist if there was something I should know as the doctor was losing consciousness!!!! She told me he was diabetic and she'd get him a soda quick. The DOCTOR was going into diabetic shock.
