Shoot the Ducks!
I am being nibbled to death by assorted ducks again. Let's just talk about the least of them.
I am looking at the prescription bottles that I picked up from Walgreens with a 30-day supply of the statin that both Gretchen and I have been prescribed. Because they were filled by the Walgreens central pharmacy, they are in the largest bottles known to mankind. Because there is finite space in my medicine cabinet, I will now have to transfer them to the small bottles, thereby losing all of the prescription information that is current for when I need to refill them.
This means that when I call in to get the prescription refilled, it will always need to be routed to the pharmacy phone, thereby wasting their time and mine and -- no doubt! -- eating up any savings from the central pharmacy being "efficient" and only using the single, largest size of prescription bottle.
Walgreens! Is there anything you can't mess up? (Let's not even talk about their computer systems...)
