The scoops of ice cream this time were smaller than I've ever seen here before. My daughter noticed the scoop was shallow, so chalk it up to shrinkflation.

So it was my first and only time going to this pharmacy. I had to go in and quickly get a list of…read moremeds when it first opened. I was avoiding taking my sick children out but it prevented my husband from going to work. So it needed to be done quickly. I understood that wasn't there problem and I was as kind as I could be. They didn't have one of the meds so they had to transfer the prescription to Walmart. Which I understood. One of the prescriptions was a steroid for my son. I wanted to get exact directions to make sure I did it right. My son is only 2 and I've never given him that before. And this older woman named Hannah behind the desk was extremely annoyed and so mean and rude when I was trying to ask for directions. Any time I asked her a question to make sure I was informed correctly on everything she snapped at me and acted like I was bothering her. So I thought maybe she's not the specific pharmacist maybe that's someone else. So I asked her if she was the pharmacist she pointed to her badge that said pharmacy manager and said "Last time I checked I was. Why you asking me that?!" Acting like I somehow intended to insult her when she had made clear she was looking to pick a fight with me. I didn't want to engage anymore so I just politely took the medications and went over to Walmart pharmacy where they were much more accommodating at the Walmart pharmacy and they were actually kind! It's really not cool for people who work in pharmacy's to treat people so poorly. It's not like she was working behind the counter at McDonalds and I was complaining cause she got my order wrong. People need their medicines and I had a major scare with my son just the night before to where something terrible could have happened had he not gotten the right medicines. Please hire people who will actually treat people with respect. They are not working with trivial things like food or clothes. They are working with peoples medicines that could either keep them alive or not. It needs to be taken more seriously and treated with care.

I'm weak from days of fasting and a surgery I had undergone about 20 hours previous. Neighbor asks me to get his O2 bottle exchanged while I'm out and he called these folks to insure it was OK. I didn't feel up to it, but agreed since he couldn't drive and the lady on the phone said it was no problem. I heard the lady say, "Just bring it in and give his name and we'll swap it for you." I went in with the tank, explained I was exchanging for (friend's name) and the lady asked "Birth Date?" "I have no idea, the lady on the phone had simply said give his name and they would swap, that was 20 minutes before." I am dizzy and weak and made some exclamations "I have no time for this BS" as I called my neighbor. As I got hold of him an overtly aggressive shortish man came out and started telling me I was 'breaking the law', I gave the phone to him and he yelled at my neighbor for several minutes. This is scaring the hell out of me. I'm very weak and about the faint, I lean on the counter and shortly I realize I'm on my knees. The 'tough guy' begins telling me to get up, get out and stop acting (believe me, it was no act) finally asked them to call an ambulance. I had began deep breathing, shut him out, closed my eyes and after a while was able to stand. Soon a new lady with brown hair came out, brought me the canister and I left. I was grateful she had called him off. After my appointment I dropped by the Police department and made sure they were aware of the rampant hostility expressed. I'm no expert, but I've been around steroid abusers enough to be wary of this place. We're getting our friend his own compressor now to keep from having to deal with this anymore. Probably a nice place if it didn't have a hot head bouncer with no ability to converse. He does a nice "POPEYE" muscle flex and he admittedly scared the hell out of me... Anyway, local monopoly or not, we'll not darken their door sill again.
