You do know that the pharmacists knows more about the medications than your doctor does don't you?

That's odd. I didn't think my pharmacist has access to my bloodwork.

CVS also sucks because they will charge the absolute highest amount they can on an Rx. You can often get the same Rx at another pharmacy for less.

CVS is a major contributor to the ridiculous and rising cost of health care in this country.

It is the Devil’s work. It’s nearly as bad as pumpkin spice.

Not really fair. You are comparing apps to oranges.

There were about 7-8 people pecking at their phones, 4 people waiting in line because they could not login and more people showing up who had to be told to download the app.

The hack- say you are picking up for someone else. I hear the CVS app is very invasive- tracking your movements through the store and other things.

I am done with CVS and their mile long receipt.

I just picked up scripts at my local cvs and was not required to do this. I will move my scripts if they switch to this nonsense

My insurance is such that I rarely pay for prescriptions (zero copay). Isn’t insurance that drives the cost?

Lol good luck getting my elderly mom to download the app. This can’t possibly be cvs policy.

The pharmacists work 12 hour plus days (no kidding their shift is 12 hours on the clock plus off the clock time). Often alone so no chance to use the bathroom. The 30 minute lunch designation was hugely needed but they can only be closed during that time. Sometimes they are even working behind the gate to catch up for the afternoon rush. Have a heart. It’s an incredibly tough job.

Right..that's why they asked you the questions. You really want to hate on that poor pharmacist. For the record, newish pharmacist at the Glover Park CVS is fantastic. Probably won't last there.

It’s not.

I call BS. No way CVS pharmacy requires you to use their app to pick up your scripts. Anyone with critical thinking skills will know this doesn't make sense and is not not practical along with being unenforceable. Unless of course CVS is actively trying to go out of business, which is when shareholders sue the board.

LOL that’s why the PP said the pharmacist knows more about the MEDICATIONS, not you or your bloodwork, you dum dum!

Yeah - you don’t really know anything about healthcare but keep hating on having free access to a highly trained professional trying to ensure you get appropriate care. Jesus.
