When I figured that one out, I took the "Dad" aside and said that if I ever saw his kid on our computer system again for pain meds, (I worked for CVS), he has better be on his way out of town because I would be knocking on his door with a few friends.<br />He said he was going to report me to corporate, I handed him the damn phone and my DM's phone number and said: "Let's call him right now." I was so mad I had to hold myself back from jumping him right in the store.<br />I hate pillheads.goosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793561531129775733.post-67508263620137435502013-03-14T19:31:07.073-07:002013-03-14T19:31:07.073-07:00The police report thingie only means that they too...The police report thingie only means that they took the time to speak with a member of our esteemed law enforcement community, not that they actually lost their pills.

The pharmacist called us and let us know - apparently the call was quite funny, as she couldn't pronounce half the names, and left out half the details of the prescriptions. She was SHOCKED that we weren't OK with her doing that.
