I put in a prescription that was supposed to be picked up at 6:30. The pharmacy was still searching for it at 7:45. It was amazing they couldn't find it. They actually lost the prescription and had to fill it again. Truth be told, they never filled it to begin with. The pharmacist told the clerk to tell me to wait because she was verifying it. I saw her. She was putting the pills into the bottle. That was funny. I never knew they didn't come pre-packed but I guess every prescription is different. Has any pharmacy ever lied about having your prescription filled when they just didn't do it?

Pharmacies have really started getting on my nerves. I have been standing in the doctors off and watched them transmit the prescription over to the pharmacy yet hours later they say they have yet to receive it. For this reason I always have the doctor hand write the prescription also so I can hand them one when they say they don't have it on the computer.
They fill that prescription then a day or 2 later they call saying I have a prescription ready to pick up. If I had called them and tried to get them to fill that prescription again 2 days after I got the original one they would tell me it hadn't been long enough and they can't do it before 28 days etc.
We've even had them call and say we have prescriptions ready when we've never been to the doctor or dropped one off. Apparently they have picked the wrong person and the poor person needing the prescription is there at the pharmacy being told they never got their prescription in there to fill.

Pharmacies efficiency continue to dismay me. It's a wonder they haven't killed someone yet. They have probably gotten some people high. LOL I can't believe any business continues to run operating this way. The worse part is the managers have learned any warm body will do, efficiency means nothing.

My dad takes insulin injections and they got his dosage wrong 3 times and tried to blame it on the doctor for writing it wrong. He was looking right at the dosage the doctor wrote and yet they continued to prescribe his old prescription dosage to him.
The doctor had to call up there and read the prescription to them before they got it right. Amazing!!!!!

Now that's scary! How can they be so blind? He's lucky he didn't need it immediately. My father-in-law gets his meds from the VA and it's a wonder they haven't killed him yet. He receives meds from a year ago that he has been taken off of or they have changed. It's ridiculous.
