The irony makes this hilarious

Is that even legal?!

Ages ago Germany had a fun ad for condoms. A young guy nervously at the till, trying to hide the condoms he's buying under the rest of his shopping. Lady at the till tries to scan them, giving him a understanding wink. Condom doesn't scan, so she shouts through the whole shop "BERTA, (Berta being an old-fashioned German first name), WHAT'S THE PRICE FOR THE CONDOMS?" Guy almost dies and pretty girl and the next till makes some encouraging comment. it was meant to show that condoms were nothing to be ashamed of. Was pretty nice and got people talking about condoms. Well done!

TBF there will be a printed sheet inside the box, but yeah, pretty stupid.

Walk to the drive thru like you're walking a bike and if they complain, say your bike is invisible

Coupons!!! Just tell them you don't want a receipt. You can access your coupons online at CVS.com. They'll accommodate you.

CVS has a staple fetish. I swear they use a box of them on my family for a month's supply of prescriptions. I'd call them and tell them they need to deliver a new prescription to your home, and they're covering all costs.

Good grief!

Could be a judgement call from the pharmacist. There are a few reasons they could've done this but seems overkill to me. Basically, chemo d***s are very very bad for someone not needing to take them. Even touching them ungloved can cause negative effects. A blister pack would be a better way to keep them separated & sealed. But blisters aren't childproof and just one of these could kill a kid. The flip side is that given the purpose of chemo, there may come a point where the patient isn't able to handle this child-proof top and thus can't self-administer.

Can they not be stored in the same bottle? Maybe an actual reason?

So... chemotherapy pills are like Beta fish? /j

🤦‍♀️

you will have to build an annex.

Every so often I have quite a collection of pill bottles. I clean them thoroughly, let them air dry and then donate them to our local Humane Society; they employ a vet. Check with your local shelter or HS to find out if they'll take them.

Walgreens is the worst

And I keep trying to convince my doc to give me 90-day supplies of my meds to cut down on the plastic waste...

they gotta be taking the p**s here

You can get both receipts and coupons online. Most CVS have a little gizmo where you can tick off "no receipt". If you're in drive-thru, let the clerk know you don't want receipts before everything is rung up.

As usual, QR stands for "Quite Rude".

This is the kind of c**p pulled on black Friday and cyber Monday as well. Just peel that sticker back and wow! It's 10 bucks more expensive! WHAT A DEAL!

Contact your government's health board. These kind of mistakes can kill. If they don't respond, contact a reputable media source. Keep everything for proof!

I would have my doubt about how sterile that is, given that it is something that shouldn't be anywhere near the pills. A rat could have brought that in!

Look on the bright side, all those vitamins are free!

Well, she convinced me! 😆

Our city homeless shelter accepts recycled prescription bottles. Check with yours.

They need to yank those staplers out of every pharmacy. They get staple crazy.

Anti-seizure med. That sucks.

Possible theft inside the system. Contact your pharmacy immediately. If they don't respond, go to your government's health board. Still no response? Contact reputable media! Keep all packaging, photos and this post for proof.

Outch waiting to happen. And infections, did I mention those?

I doubt that this is legal. It's definitely illegal here.

Those not already in wheelchairs, soon will be as they trip over 'the ramp'.

It didn't puncture the safety cap, did it?

Take the pills to the pharmacy and ask them to explain. Follow the above information if you get pushback.

In Ireland, prescriptions are capped at €80 per family per month, anything above that is not charged. Saves us a fortune.

Fun fact, my Dad once had a job as a tampon tester (okay, so it was testing the quality of the kapok used in them, but that doesn’t sound as good!)

Most pharmacies I know use paper bags.

Hmmmm, should I get Viagra or Frontline for my sick kid?

It would be correct in the Netherlands. Lots of pharmacies have an automatic distributor to serve clients outside of opening times. We are in a rural area with no emergency pharmacy anywhere near a 1h drive, so they invented a mechanism that can distribute medication remotely. No idea how it actually works, but it does.
