  • i wish the left could just pass a law banning harmful religion

    i personally don’t care what you believe nor should freedom of religion go away, but this is exhausting

    it’d be nice if we could just split into different countries; tired of dealing with these people. let them have their own fascist christian everyone-that’s-not-a-cishet-white-man-phobic country with zero taxes and fucked up roads and people realizing they have no choice but to hang themselves by their bootstraps when shit hits the fan. the rest of us will have a country where we take care of each other and don’t engage in harmful, childish drama.









  • as someone who takes many medications and has had to deal with pharmacy nonsense for years… was this the pharmacist, or were they a pharm tech paid $7.50 an hour? not that that somehow justifies the denial. rather, it makes sense that when someone can get an “easier” position (easier in quotes because i’ve heard being a pharm tech is really difficult - but again, iirc, it’s a job a lot of people can get) that they would end up in this situation where they choose to deny filling someone’s medication. i imagine most actual pharmacists won’t be denying medication (but it DOES happen, no denying that, just less likely imo).

    if this was a pharm tech, i would have demanded to speak with the pharmacist. especially since THEY can decide whether or not i “need” a certain medication. if they won’t get the pharmacist, get the walgreen’s manager, or just shout for the pharmacist to come to the front. the actual pharmacists can be soooooooo busy, so they could easily be tuning out what’s going on at the counter. lots of customers can be frustrated - what do you mean my insurance doesn’t cover this? this doesn’t look like my normal meds! i’m not paying that price, charge me less! etc etc. so any confrontation going on up front is just a regular part of the job, and can be something you just tune out.

    also sharing this info so people know what to do, if they should find themselves in this unfortunate situation.
