The second time was when I asked the pharmacist for a antiviral and the third time for an anti fungal which I had a previous script. Both times I was told to go to the hospital.

Despite being short staffed and it being a holiday, the pharmacy staff went above and beyond to fill my inhaler prescription today, so I didn't have to wait. I didn't realize how bad my breathing had become until I attempted the normally 5 minute walk to the store! One dose and I'm already breathing better. So, thank you. You all deserve a medal and a giant pay raise for the work you do, under increasingly difficult circumstances these days in healthcare.

For 30 years we have been going there and have never traded more rudely than we were last week and I highly believe it's because of alcohol by his body language and his splurging. The owners did just sell the company so I'm hoping that the new owners will see his behavior and lean him out of what he's comfortable of after being there for so long. I think he forgot what customer service is all about. We love Roger and Cindy and we will miss them terribly.
