My Favorite Pharmacy StoriesFEBRUARY 18, 2016
No matter what job you hold in pharmacy, you’re likely to run into some funny situations.
Recently, I was reminiscing about my time as a pharmacy intern and student on PharmD rotations. Here are some of my favorite stories.
Price Check
As an intern at a retail pharmacy chain, I often spent time price matching prescription drugs at other stores.
One time, a customer brought in more than 10 prescriptions and asked me to price match every possible competitor for each drug. I think it took me about 90 minutes to make all the calls.
I was checking the customer out at the register when he suddenly flew into a rage. He angrily shouted, “This is 25 cents more than last time!”
I interrupted the man’s rant with, “Are you really going to hassle me over 25 cents?” I then reached into my pocket and handed the man a quarter.
We never saw him again.
