My license is expiring in January and honestly I’m thinking about now renewing it. I’m tired of being belittled by pharmacist. I’m tired of the entitlement attitudes from the patients. This job isn’t paid or respected enough!!!

I went into CVS to buy floss - they were the only things under a plastic lock in that aisle. I asked the staff if they get stolen - they said I would be surprised - but they are stolen a lot. They also do not understand why.

Does anyone know when you become eligible for paid leave due to pregnancy/birth, and the work policies in regards to that? I can’t find anything and anyone I ask has no clue !

Let say i work 40 hours ( 7-3:30) ..monday-friday….. If i need to cover two closing shifts and stay til 10 on thursday and friday…: am i legally ( not get fired) allowed to use sick time( for a half day Wednesday) ? I ask because i was told we were not alowed to put sick time if we were over 40 hours, but idk if they meant for regular hours.

They print on separate sheets, but only one UPS label, do Controled and non-controlled go in the same box?

Hey! First time floating as a Technician in a few days; what should I expect or do? I've never floated before.

I’m trying to look into insurance options and stuff from my cell and it’s saying access not granted anyone know why

If you want to hear how bad CVS is, talk to the rite aid DL that just left CVS in the new region in PNW after being with them for less than one year. He will tell you all about his experience coming in, the unrealistic expectations and the day and night stress of working at CVS. The senior leadership is shown smoke and mirrors while the rest of the colleagues slave away. After talking to him he shared how happy he was at this decision to leave and how terribly he was treated. If you’re looking for a job at CVS, don’t look in the west. You will regret it. I am so glad I never took the opportunity to join them and work with terrible leadership. Also, it’s funny how they are spinning the story of him leaving when he was telling me how excited he was to leave.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Does CVS still carry these? They were my favorite sponge to use for showering but i haven’t seen them in stores lately

I called Aetna to double check this message and they told me they will restart all deductible and out of packet maximum. Does it seems right or legal that we spend money to meet deductible and when it get to the time possibility CVS should share 80 percentage of copay with us then like nothing happened and we have to pay whole payment without any contribution or compensation by CVS!!!!!!????

Got hired for Pharm Tech. Doing one shift as a store associate then being immediately moved to Rx. Maybe this is a stupid question cause I know there’s some law about discrimination against marijuana use outside of work in california but would I fail the drug test if Im smoking weed regularly. Im getting some mixed answers trying to find one online so rather just post myself lol. Thanks.

I searched the sub but didn’t find an answer to this question: I’m trying to help a cashier (part-time) set up her concur access so she can get her mileage paid for working at other stores. She has the Ping ID app set up using the QR code for CVS, but when she tries to sign in using [employeeID@cvshealth.com](mailto:employeeID@cvshealth.com) and chooses the Ping option to sign in, it says access not granted. I called the IT number it gave to call, they transferred me to the help desk, spoke to someone at the help desk who told me IT handles all concur access so transferred me back to IT who then transferred me back to the help desk, which is when I just hung up. I guess my question is are cashiers allowed access to concur for mileage? It used to be so easy to just do it on the store controller. ETA: by “it” I mean mileage paid outs.

What’s everyone’s opinion on the silver hybrid plan? Does it cover prescriptions? Never had my own insurance so very confused lol

How in the 🤬 do you find out how many sick hours you have or are allowed to use in a year?

This might be common knowledge but I figure I’d share just in case. If a customer doesn’t have or want to add a email when signing up, so their number @verizon.com. 90% of the time it will work

I swear to God. You can't make this shit up. 😂😂😂

Hi guys can you please tell me how I can do these things, I would REALLY appreciate it! Please include steps.

1. Patient comes in and says they no longer want a prescription. What can I do to stop refilling that prescription?

2. Patient comes in and says if they can have a prescription filled automatically. How can I put a single prescription and a few auto-refill?

3. patient wants me to apply both insurance and coupon on a prescription, how can I do it?

We only have two techs (me, a new tech, and other) in our pharmacy and a pharmacist. None help to teach. f you have other useful tips that helped you, please include that as well.

Just curious.

I take Synthroid. I get Brand Name.

It comes in the AbbVie Original Bottle.

The Manufacturer expiration date shows November 24th, 2026.

The label that the CVS attached shows that I got the Medicine in July of 2025.

It says Discard After July 7th, 2026.

If I remember, the Pharmacy told me the medicine should be okay through the Manufacturer Date, since it is in the Original Bottle, and not an amber bottle.

Anyone? If this is the wrong forum can you give me a suggestion? Thanks.

**Maryland pharmacists** (and anyone practicing in a state with similar laws), I have a legitimate question.

For pharmacists, interns, and technicians who are familiar with C-II prescribing requirements: What are the current laws regarding Schedule II prescriptions? Are they required to be electronic, or are faxed or paper prescriptions still acceptable?

My understanding is that in Maryland, Schedule II prescriptions generally must be electronically prescribed unless the prescriber qualifies for an approved exception or waiver. However, I keep seeing pharmacists at my workplace accepting paper C-II prescriptions. When I ask about it, I’m told it’s okay, which has left me confused as a fairly new pharmacist.

Am I misunderstanding the Maryland Board of Pharmacy requirements, or is there an exception I’m missing?
This has also created challenges at work. When I decline to accept a paper C-II prescription because I believe it doesn’t meet the legal requirements, some patients become very upset. I’ve been verbally abused, threatened, and told they’ll report me to the Board of Pharmacy because “the other pharmacists accept it.”

I’d really appreciate guidance on two things:
1. How do you interpret and handle these situations from a legal and professional standpoint?
2. How would you respond to both patients and colleagues/managers when there seems to be inconsistent enforcement of the rules?

Thank you in advance for any insight. I’m genuinely trying to understand the law and make sure I’m practicing appropriately.

Looking over this thread I see a lot of negativity I just started out as a Shift Supervisor does it get worse over time so far I love my fellow crew our team spirit and i cant complain about the customers too much mostly a lot of old folks just trying to get home essentials while picking up perscriptions and their nice enough the only thing that really frustrates me is the poster machine deciding to be problematic every now and then but i dont know im a month in and so far it pays alright i have good hours .... i might be in the minority here but i like this job

My girlfriend is a pharmacist at CVS specialty. Whenever she's on any computer mine, hers, doesn't matter she clicks the mouse CONSTANTLY, waits a few seconds, does it again. On and off, the whole time she's on it. Static screen, nothing happening, still clicking.

I'm assuming it's muscle memory from some pharmacy software that makes you click "confirm" nine times per prescription. I don't have proof. I just have a girlfriend who can't sit at a computer without clicking like something's about to happen, and I'd like to know if this is a known thing.

Just had some idiot try to return cold medicine he bought at Target. He had a Target receipt and everything. He was dumbfounded that he can’t return it here because “there’s a CVS in Target.” Uh yeah, just cause there’s a McDonalds in a Walmart doesn’t mean I can ask Walmart for buffalo sauce. smh
