I'm in terrible pain from a lower back injury. I received an automated call that my prescription for pain killers, anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers was ready, so I drove to Rayley's.
I make my way back to the pharmacy (which took me 15 minutes from the car because I'm walking so slowly), go right up to the counter and tell the pharm-tech my name. She can't find my prescription on the hanging rack, so she tells me it'll be about 15 minutes.
So I go to sit in the waiting area, but there are no chairs! So I'm standing there with a bad back and a cane, waiting for them to fill a prescription for which I already received a call that said it was ready. Not very happy at this point.
Finally the tech calls me back to the register, but she has only one bottle of pills. I knew the doctor had sent three prescriptions over, so I ask where the other two are, and she tells me they only received one. So I tell her there should be three. She goes behind the counter for 5 minutes, and returns with two pill bottles and now she tells me they only received two prescriptions (hmmm, how did it go from one to two?). So I call my doctor's office and they confirm that all three prescriptions were sent at the same time, but that they will call the pharmacy to see what's wrong.
Another 15 minutes goes by and finally one of the techs comes up and says they haven't heard from my doctor. So I call my doctor's office again and they say they've been trying to call over and over but just keep getting sent to voicemail. So they say they'll just send it over again.
Yet another 15 minutes later, the pharmacist approaches and tells me they've got all three prescriptions, but it will be another 45 minutes before they're ready. So I ask why, and he tells me the pain killers are in a time-release safe that only opens periodically.
At that point I suggested they get some chairs for their waiting area and then just left because I was about to lose my temper.
I'm suffering as is, need the medication I'm waiting for, like RIGHT NOW, and then I have to stand around for over an hour while they try to figure out how to do their job properly and then ask me to wait for another 45 minutes!? What a fiasco.
I will avoid using this pharmacy again. read more
