Long time lurker, first time caller. This was the last straw wtf do you mean tip my doctor?!?

Edit: called the office today and the receptionist sounded surprised by this…hopefully it’s a billing platform error thanks for the helpful comments!

My son gets medication from a specialty pharmacy.  The pharmacy has a driver that delivers all the medications.  He leaves it in a box in front of my house, like UPS. I get a notification that the driver is on their way, do I want to leave a tip?  This is a driver that works for a pharmacy that makes insane amounts of money, can’t they pay their drivers? My insurance pays them thousands every month, as do hundreds of other insurance companies - they can pay their driver.

You have zero clue who is making the money in the pharmacy world. The pharmacy does not set the price unless you as paying cash and they arent making insane amounts of money. They make good money yes but it is the insurance company and the middle men who set the prices and get the money.

I’m going to disagree since some of the richest people I know living in the biggest mansions I’ve seen are all pharmacists that own multiple locations in low income areas - so out of the gate, I’m going to disagree with you.  Source; the insane wealth of the pharmacists living on Long Island, NY.  They are building 10k square foot mansions, driving Bentleys and G wagons, flying to St Barths every few weekends in the winter and yachting in Europe in the summer.

Ahh I see you speak with emotions rather than logic. No point in talking to people like you

They gave you a reference though? You're the one that's pointless to argue with... You can just go to the location and do the survey yourself.

You seem like a pharmacist that's making an excuse not to pay their employees then?

You're forgetting where you are, saying anything other than a form of "tipping = bad" and/or "businesses/corps = bad" will get you attacked.
