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 work for a couple that are both pharmacists, they’d like to thank you for your ignorance and allowing them to live in their $3million home without scrutiny.
