Couldn't believe this

When I am stuck at home, I tend to do alot of web surfing.  I ran across this site where a pharmacist was complaining about the problems he had a work.  Someone asked him what they did with the scripts that people had filled but didn't pick up.  He was complaining and said that he lost money on these patients because get this:
  1.  the pharmacist salary to fill the script.
  2.  the cost for the bottle and label.  (take the label off and reuse the bottle, the label couldn't cost more than .10)
  3.  the cost of the clerk who has to restock the meds.

This just blew my mind.  It probably took all of 5 minutes to fill the script and as for losing the cost of the label, oh well.  I guess what rubbed me the wrong way was the fact they don't mind charging you $75 bucks for a script and make who knows what off it, and complain because they lose the cost of the label.

I guess I am just in a sucky mood tonight

Amen about the electric typewriter dominosarah... my grandfather owned his own phcy for 40 years and I remember the old typewritten labels and sometimes just handwritten- can you imagine?? Such different times now!

I know they had to learn alot at college and have to put up with alot of ****, but for the most part they have a pretty "cushy"job.  Think about it!

What would they do if they had to do what the pharmicists had to do years ago??  They had to type out all the scripts on a non electric typewriter!!!!!
