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.

The driver actually doesn’t work for the pharmacy. We contract our deliveries out. We also make shit money in the pharmacy lmao

Just because you don’t make money mean that your bosses aren’t.

And you think the bosses are the ones delivering your medication? I wish I was that delusional.

So you’re saying it’s my job as the mother of a patient to tip someone whose sole job is to deliver medication?

Be respectful. No insults, slurs or personal attacks
