Hi, I'm a new pharmacist working retail for a big chain and they send me to some of the most problematic stores. I'm fine with driving 2 hours at a time to work these stores but a lot of these stores have horrible techs. One store in particular has some of the laziest techs ive encountered with attitude problems. They can type fast but just talk most of the time while i work to verify and answer patient questions.
So a couple instances where the phone rings and they literally tell me "hey pick up the phone" while i was in the middle of verifying an interaction. I ignored them and then one of them yelled it louder. It got me pissed off so i told her why dont you pick it up and dont tell me what to do. Lo and behold the next day i found out I was written up by this tech. Unfreaking believable. I was so outraged I talked to the pharmacist manager at that store and that dude pretty much backed up the tech and said I shouldve helped out. I fear this will probably be a black mark on my reviews. How does one deal with difficult techs? I mean i spent so much sweat and tears only to be reduced to taking orders from a technician? I hate pharmacy!
