I lasted two months at walgreens. I started in January and quit today. It wasn’t even two full months of work. It was about 8 days of computer training and only 6 days of actual behind-the-pharmacy work. I don’t understand how other people can do it. The thing I couldn’t stand the most is the damn insurance. I hate insurance. Why do we have to handle insurance issues? The patient and insurance company should have to handle issues themselves. Also, whenever I worked, it was so packed that no one could really teach me. I usually was relegated to filling the drugs.
The pharmacy manager seemed bitter. A couple of days she talked about quitting the job, blah, blah, blah. The last time I worked was about 3 weeks ago, so the store manager called me and asked what is up. I said I’m too busy with school and will probably not work anymore. She said, “So that’s it? You’re done?” I said, “Yea.” And that’s what happened.
At least now I know retail is not the path for me. I give my respects to the people in retail. They are special people who have thick skin or are crazy or both. Now I’m looking for a hospital job or maybe an independent.
