Discrimination????? Mood
Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | A Venting story
I went yesterday to my pharmacy in  Walmart,to get my refill that I have orderd the day before on those stupid computers. The computer said that my prescription would be done September 8th after 11 am ,so I went last night 8 pm to pick it up.(have no more pills at home) so I really needed them for my Colitis.By the pick up line the lady said there was a problem &she send me to the drop off line same thing ,my refill would be done on the 12th this month??? I told her that the computer said that it would been ready earlier that morning? Or if they could do something? She send me to this dumb ass pharmacist... I explained it to him to twice because the first time when I told him he acted I was from Mars,I'm actually from germany so LOL.Than he told me that my Insurance had not paid for this medication??? So I told him that this was weird cuz I take this medication for almost 6 mos and never had problems before!And I ask him if he could do something for me cuz I can't just stop that medication,he said if I pay cash ??? And I'm like CASH? Why would I do that I have Insurance that pays for me??? He than almost yelled at me and said YES! Cash ...and formed with his hand the shape of a$bill and said real loud  YES REAL AMERICAN MONEY!I than told him I was not an Idiot,I  know what cash means.I than ask him what I should do in a meanwhile in case I get some weird side effects by just stopping that medicatin,call 911? And he turned half away from me & said yes!.I got the Belton ass.Manager and when we approuched the counter they had like 4 pills ready for me to cover those 2 days that I needed till the "Next refill" I was so upset and cried my ass off,and this kind of stress is not good for me at all.Please let me know if I'm just loosing it to feel discriminated by the way he spoke to me about the AMERICAN Money??? Thanks for listening.

    What is wrong with these people.. I am sooo sorry that you had to experience this...and oh yes I would turn him in to the STORE MANAGER or get online.. there has got to be a spot where you can tell them about the behaviour of one of their assosiates...but do not let this linger and just pray for the guy.. because something made him totally unhappy and you were just the one he took it out on.. I worked for so long with the puplic that I just feel sorry for people like that..and try not to let it get to me.. but I most definitly would make Wal-Mart aware of that and let them know that you could take your buissness elsewhere..Hang in there and I hope you will feel better today.. dont let him get to you.. you know we love you .. Simone...

    Ok he is an a$$.. i would be angry too.. he had no right to treat you the way he did and I would be totally offended as well.. who gives him the right to treat someone this way, NO ONE..I agree that you should get his name and talk with the store manager and let him know you are very upset and can choose to take your business elsewhere...what a load of bull.. I am sorry you had to deal with this..i agree do not let this eat at you, contact the store manager or whoever and then let it go.. this person must have his own issues he he treats people with attitude instead on sympathy... pity him! HUGS hon!

    That was totally wrong on his part! I deal with Walmart also but have only experienced very caring personnel. I know I would take that prescription down the road and never darken their doors again!

    I tend to dwell on things too, I got cussed out over the phone the other day by a telemarketer and then he called again just to get me going. I'm still dwelling on that and praying about it. I pray the Lord's Prayer that says "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL." I pray that as often as I need to but i still dwell on things and if that happened to me last week, I know i would still be dwelling on it now. I've gone online and sent in complaints about Walmart and the store manager from our store here always calls me and he's so nice. If you can afford Walmart and 99% of the time are happy going there then keep going there and don't let that one person ruin your buzz. Try not to dwell on it like I would and just get your medication and be glad for that. Complain about that guy and then pray for him for whatever he was going through that day, I used to hate when someone would tell me that but now i realize that when someone is ugly to me and i didn't do anything to them, I ask myself, is it my problem or theirs? if it's my problem, i try and fix it, if it's their problem then i give them the problem and go on my way. I'm on Depakote, Mood Stabilizers and they make places like Walmart so much easier to be in. You don't want to get me started on Walmart, i hate them because they are so huge and yet I need Walmart to be there with their low prices and selection. I tried to apply for a job yesterday at Walmart online but I didn't know how much to put for a pay scale when I was in the Air Force, my last job, and couldn't get past that, so I gave up. Pick your battles sweetie, I think you're adorable and I loved when we lived in Germany, I would go back there in a nanosecond. love ya bunny, jesse

    Yeah, that was wrong. I have been in situations where I ran out of pills before my isurance would cover it and I did just pay cash--but no one has ever been rude to me. That pharmacist was just being an ass. I would call his manager or whoever his boss was to complain. I would probably take my prescription out of that pharmacy too. I hate bad customer service!
