My tech who contracted Covid passed away unexpectedly. He was not vaccinated. We are shocked, saddened and numb. This was way before his time. This is a wake up call for all of us, both personally and professionally. Vaccinations are important..What we are doing is so important.
We are saving lives. This work is difficult, it's stressful, it's overwhelming and it's a workload burden...BUT what we are doing is making a difference in others lives. Every vaccine is possibly saving someone's son, daughter,grandma or aunt. I'm struggling right now because I
didn't push my friend harder to get vaccinated. I never thought this would lead to his death. The moral of the story is that Covid is real, it's not a joke, and vaccination prevents serious illness. Whatever your hang up over the vaccine, put that aside, don't be selfish because
your death is a harder pill to swallow than any political,religious,or personal freedom argument. Your loved ones want you to live and thrive and if you make a selfish decision they may have to live with a lifetime of guilt and questions. It's really not fair to them.

the staff right now
- be direct and to the point with what you need,we are overwhelmed and unable to have an extended conversation

Hi,I need a refill (staff will guide you through the rest)

the company website first, all the information is there trust me

In the store:

"Why is it going to take so long, this is a joke"
Ma'am each prescription requires us to do a 23 step process in order to ensure your safety, do you want to hear the steps?
No...
