so my rural/suburban town of just over 20k people has two walgreenseses on the same road that are separated by about a 5-10 minute drive depending upon traffic / the time of day.
this woman comes to mine today wanting her script that was filled and ready to go at the other one in town. she was told this and wanted it filled here instead. my coworker who was working with her went to check and see if we even had the medication in stock and we didn’t. so she tells the patient this and that it would be at least a day for us to order it in and the patient said yeah go for it.
so instead of just, driving from her house to our pharmacy and over to the one that actually has it all ready to go, she’d rather go home wait at least a day and drive back here. and the goofiest shit is that this is a pretty regular occurrence with different patients lmao. it literally just does not make sense to me
