My Dr recently moved from Las Vegas to Bullhead City. Naturally, I followed her because she's amazing. She sent 2 prescriptions to the Safeway pharmacy. Then I met Jason. He works the register at the pharmacy and is an egotistical a$$hole who seems to think he is in charge of the place.
Last month, he gave me such a hard time for needing pain medication. Like I was less than human. He was mean and degrading to me. At first, he was telling me to have my prescription sent to Vegas. Then he told me to go home and come back the next day. Even though he knew I lived in Vegas. He kept on and on about how they weren't going to fill it. And I should just leave. Finally, the Pharmacist ( who is an amazing human being ) stepped in and said he would take care of it.
So today I went to see my Dr again in Bullhead City. She once again sent over my prescriptions to the Safeway pharmacy. I got a text msg they had been sent. So I waited about an hour before I called to make sure they got them, I also checked the app. The app showed that both prescriptions were there. I called and spoke with Jason. After getting my b-day and name, he said, " Jesus christ, I just got this in." I asked how many prescriptions there were. He said 1 for an antibiotic. I asked him if there was 1 for pain meds. He said no. That didn't make sense, but just to be sure, I called the Dr office. The receptionist said they had fax confirmation that Safeway had received the prescriptions.
I went in the store. As soon as I gave Jason my name and b-day, he got agitated. He said there was no prescription for pain meds. I told him the Dr office has fax confirmation that they got it.
He then changed it to they can't fill it, that I need to come back on Wednesday to speak with the manager. I asked why can't they fill it since they did last month. He said that was a " courtesy fill," and they wouldn't be able to fill any others. I asked him why I wasn't I told that last month. To which he said " someone should have told you." I pointed out that JASON should have told me since he was the person I dealt with.
He then went on to explain if they were going to fill these prescriptions, they needed to fill ALL my prescriptions. I was more than a little confused since they had all my prescriptions. He told me I needed to have 4 or 5 more prescriptions before they could fill any.
I was dumbfounded. I don't take anything else. Jason kept pushing about other prescriptions and needing the managers approval. I stated, " You're penalizing me because I don't take other meds."
Finally, the Pharmacist stepped in, took over the computer, and asked a couple of questions. Do you take blood pressure meds? No. Do you have high cholesterol? No. Are you diabetic, no. I told him I can't believe I'm being punished for being healthy!! The Pharmacist told me he would have it ready at 3.
Oh boy, was Jason mad!
When I came back to pick up my meds, he was slamming the bottles on the counter. The only thing he said to me was, " We won't be filling anymore prescriptions for you."
JASON made me feel like a horrible person. He implied I was lying about having other prescriptions. He acted like I was a drug addict and scum. Jason is a horrible bully. He really shouldn't have a customer facing job. No matter the situation you don't start an encounter with aggression and hostility. Bullying 56 yr old women isn't a great look. read more
