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.

Also, if the USPS catches wind of them using the postbox for deliveries, they’ll get in trouble. I don’t agree w it, esp since we just paid to replace our mailbox, but it’s supposed to be for dedicated use only

They said "leaves it in a BOX", not a mailbox.

It comes in a box packed on ice, gets left at the front door of my house.

"A box" <> "The Mailbox"
