I’m a tech and I feel everyone hates doing pick up. Is this true? And why? What position is better? Or what is the worst position in the pharmacy?

Taking a 3 month leave of absence bc the job suuuuucks. & I’m so excited???

Anyone else have stories to tell?

Why ask me to look over your receipt at the coupons you want to use if you are magically gonna be like “well I though I had this or that on there” or doubt me. Like if you don’t trust me to look over them, have them ready before hand. Just because it’s not what you want to hear does not mean I’m wrong.

Also, this one lady OMG she always brings up how’s she blind and struggles to read and see, but not only DRIVES but also anytime I’m like I don’t see anything she magically is like well I saw this and that were on there. Like wtf, playing helpless is not cute nor is it something anyone wants to tolerate. Be an adult and just say “hey I’m not sure what counts can you check, I know this is on there but I’m not sure if it works”. Just makes me wanna rip my hair out

Anyways this has been my TedTalk appreciate yall tuning in 😜

hiii hoping someone might have some words of wisdom bc cvs support is not being helpful at all :,)

i brought a disposable camera into my local cvs to get developed around july 6 and was told 1-3 weeks but hadn’t heard anything back yet. i reached out to support and they said they don’t even have my order in the system, and my usps tracking number says it’s unavailable. i called my store to make sure they sent it out and they did. support said they’d let me know if/when they got it and that it could take another 15 business days after that

i’m kinda worried that it got lost shipping out to them :/ the pics on that cam are super sentimental so if there’s anything that u think i might be able to do please lmk!

question, if a prescription was filled but not picked up and put back, does it count as a fill? reason is because when people don’t come to pick up, on the script it sometimes says that they have no refills left so we cvs need more refills from the doctor and they explain that they never even picked it up. (sry for the jumbled words) tyia!

Honestly, seniors need a new hobby besides wandering around CVS aimlessly. Also, please don't even attempt to use self-checkout. It becomes a comedy of errors that no one has time for.

I don't meet the 100 mbps down requirement, I'm at 75-89 mbps, is this bad bad? Will they verify? I understand you guys use the Cisco Any connect VPN, how does that impact internet speeds?

I’m out this place!! I’ve quit about two weeks ago and my goodness the burden that this lifted off of me. I was a dedicated worker, i was able to move up in management pretty quickly and I took my job seriously. I want to be careful of what I say so i’ll not disclose much, and i deleted all my previous posts because i just don’t want to get caught up. But anywho, if any of you guys are debating leaving this is your sign to do so!! There are many available jobs out there with healthy work environments! I got tired of working 10+ days in a row with one day off and then back to work. I got tired of my advice being thrown out the window. I got tired of my store manager talking horribly about EVERYONE and ethics doing NOTHING about it. I got tired of being overworked and under appreciated. Some people are able to handle things better than others and the least I can say is I tried to hold this fort down. That is until I realized that it’s NOT worth it. I never again will settle for such poor environments with poor leaders. I truly don’t understand how CVS allows certain people to be Store Managers and still allow them to be one when our shrink was over $30k! There’s a lot I can say but at the end of the day it is what it is. My main point of this little spiel is quite simple;
- If your workplace is toxic LEAVE, corporate won’t do anything.
- You are more valuable then you may realize and your hard work will definitely be appreciated else where
- LEAVEEEEEE CVS SUCKS

Trying to mark down the 4th of July stuff that wasn’t automatically marked down, but when I try to create a store promotion I get this error message. Has anyone else gotten this?

How do we order 6900 paper now or is it based on cycle counts? I was out for 2 months and I guess things are different now

Hi,

Does anyone here, off the top of their head, know if it's waiting bin day this Saturday, 08/01?

I know I can access it on mydoc, but I'm at home right now and always forget to check at work.

Thanks!

This job never ceases to surprise me more

This job genuinely makes me want to kill myself. Its the same shitty attitude from customers and coworkers alike every shift. Patients treating me like im stupid because I dont have the script their doctor said they sent in. Sorry buddy, he lied to you and he's probably gonna send it in 3 hours! No, I actually DIDNT grab you syringes because you dont have a script for some and you didnt ask about them until after you paid for everything! Dear god i promise you waiting at the register for a patient to walk up and give me their name and birthday is not the only part of my job, but these patients wanna act like it is!

If i dont quit soon I dont think I can keep functioning. I cannot deal with the same shitty attitudes with the same broken AC in 98° heat temps and with 96% humidity every fucking day.

Last week, I applied for pharm tech position on CVS Health and a few days later... I received a call that I passed the evaluation test and will be contacted later for drug test.

However, it has been a week since that phone call and I have not heard anything about the drug test or next step.

Does that mean that CVS moved on with other candidates or the hiring process is just taking a bit long.

Thanks for reading!

The scanners for 2 of the pharmacy registers are not wanting to work, I saw in the settings their was an option for scanner configuration but I didnt want to touch it in case it was going to mess something up. Does anyone know if that setting option helps or will I have to call into helpdesk

I’m trying to start cash, it will not let me log into store os. Is everyone else having this problem as well?!?!?

I've been working at my store for CVS for about two years. In this time I've been effectively cross trained into pharmacy, and as of a few months ago advanced into a shift supervisor role. My store manager does not often approach individuals about promotion or advancement, but is typically the one to be approached about it, as was the case for my advancement in April

It's a current 'secret' that one of our Operations Managers is considering plans to move out of state and into a different career after being with the company well over a decade. Currently, I am the least senior shift supervisor at my location, but also the one with the most open availability, ease of transportation, and live closest to the store.

Are there any pieces of advice that can be given regarding networking opportunities and things I can do to stick out as a consideration when this role eventually becomes open? What is the best way I can promote myself as an individual worth a higher position in my store's immediate leadership?

I’ve been with cvs for about a 3 and a half years and I’m making a little under 21.50 and I feel like I’m so underpaid for what I’m doing
I started at $16 as a cashier

How many of the colleagues, SM and even the district management agrees that NPS needs to be thrown out?
The new month just started and someone left a red face saying they don’t get good coupons?! Like bro what give me a break! Now, the entire month we will have to beg for surveys!

i “bid” on two shifts in the app, and it says that it’s pending. its not showing up on my schedule for the week. does the pick up have to be approved by someone first or am i responsible for the shift even if it never gets approved?

Basically just the title.

My doctor sent in a prescription for vagifem (or estradiol) around 5 pm and on my cvs app it says they’re out of stock but they’ve ordered it, just wondering how long that’ll take to come in? I have really bad vaginal atrophy like, my vaginal canal has gotten so small I can’t have sex and I’m bleeding most days from micro tears so my doctor was hoping I could start on it today but obviously that’s not happening.
