in the case of my wife (see the pope thread) we had the traditional automated system of Walgreens saying: your prescription is ready for pick up.
thanks for choosing walgreens...

then she goes and is told she won't get it??

what kind of BS is that???

Francois... did Walgreens follow their own policy?...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/...ar23,1,6663863.story

"A spokeswoman for Walgreens said the company does not force pharmacists to sell something they feel is against their religious beliefs, but pharmacists are required to help the customer by suggesting she come back later, go to a different store, or find another solution."

hmmm,,, "find another solution" - wow, that's helpful

nope...she said 'we don't have them' very dry tone etc.
Nice...so now each time I see her I make all kinds of rubbish statements (that I don't even believe in) that I know will make her mad.

Seriously, you should have a really messy bowel related accident at the pharmacy counter one day. Wear loose fitting clothes that let all the nastiness flow right onto the floor. Say all the right things, act like it's an accident, and laugh all the way to your car.

If you could pull this off you'd forever be my hero.

In all seriousness, she lied to you. I don't have an issue with a pharmicist not wanting to sell something for moral reasons and saying so. I think it's silly, but simple minded people need their things to cling to. But to not even have the fortitude to be up front and honest and lying instead is weak and wrong. Is lying to the customer covered under Walgreen's policy?

Is lying to the customer covered under Walgreen's policy?


Don't know,,, but it's not covered under Kmart's policy... Kmart fired a pharmacist who claimed that they were out a drug when in fact they weren't.

Why not give Walgreen's corporate headquarters a call... 847-940-2500 .. ask for Dennis R. O'Dell (VP for health services).

"If you want to sleep around and the pharmacist won't give you birth control pills, or won't give you an emergency abortifacient, I guess you should find a pharmacist who will. It really can't be that hard. But you don't have any right to demand a pharmacist does so against his religious beliefs. "

Are you kidding? What if the pharmacist decided it was against his beliefs to sell drugs to black people? Would you just tell black people to find another pharmacist? For one thing, not everyone who buys birth control is doing it because they are "sleeping around," and you know better. If a pharmacy carries the medicine for which you have a prescription, and the pharmacist doesn't want to sell that medicine, he should try a different job.

(insert pithy phrase here...)

Did you try another pharmacy?

I don't have to try an other pharmacy? are you really THAT stupid?

They called to say the prescr. was ready.
My wife went there and some dumbass said no, it's not.
I don't have to waste my time (actually my wife doesn't have to waste hers...). go somewhere else...remember THEY CALLED...

I wonder if these pharmacist react the same way to a prescription for Levitra or Cialis? It could be a married man who is planning to sleep with someone other than his wife. Is he turned away or lectured on his morals?
