Pet Peeves (December 2016)

UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN.

When a patient lets his kids run around the pharmacy unsupervised.

SORRY I ASKED.

Pharmacy Technician: “Any questions for the pharmacist?” Customer: “No. I can read.”

UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.

Cut your tech hours and be sure to give more vaccinations! Also, you still have to run the drive-thru. What do you mean you don’t have time to do medication therapy management? You said yourself you wanted to expand your clinical role!

UNFAIR COMPENSATION.

I can’t understand why companies have contracts with insurance companies that don’t compensate fairly. I don’t need busy work.
