Argh. Fuck CVS.
I went to my usual CVS this morning to get a prescription filled. They said their computer system was down, and I could either wait until later or go to a different pharmacy. I can wait until tomorrow, but getting this filled today would be much better, so I went to the CVS a few blocks away. The pharmacist there checked and said that they only had 10 pills of my medicine, and my prescription called for 60. I asked if I could get the ten now and the other 50 later. She said no, it's against policy. She called the other local CVS, a few blocks away, to see if they had it in stock. They didn't. She also conducted this conversation on really loud speakerphone, so everybody within at least 50 feet could hear what medicine I'm on.
So, I waited a few hours. I called the original CVS, explained that I'd come in this morning with a prescription, and asked if their system was back up yet. The guy said yes. So I got back in my scarf and jacket and hat and gloves and walked back down to that CVS. I handed the guy my prescription. This was the same guy I'd talked to on the phone. He handed it back to me, told me that the system was really backed up, and they couldn't process it for four more hours. I said, "But I just called and you said the system was back up." He said, "Yes, it is working, but there is a backlog and we cannot process anything new." And then he walked away.
"Yes, it is working, but there is a backlog and we cannot process anything new." And then he walked away.
Wow. Customer service FAIL.
Oh, had that been me, it would have gotten very ugly at that point.
The Baby Name Genie gave me Fisher Saul, first try for gender "Surprise Me." I dread to think what any child named "Fisher" would have to put up with in school.
Most recent gem is Keanu Lucas Alter. DEAR INTERNET, I JUST REWATCHED THE MATRIX TRILOGY SO DO NOT TEMPT ME.
"Yes, it is working, but there is a backlog and we cannot process anything new." And then he walked away.
Need help burying the body?
Since he's on my mind, I put in Tennant, surprise gender, and got Justine Molly Tennant. Ehh. Not bad but nothing special.
Then I put in RL last name, and got Lily Lexi. Which is interesting b/c I know at least four wee Lilys at this point and I have been toying with naming a potential female sprog Lilla, which is my paternal grandmother's first name.
Then I put in the last name of a boy from HS I've developed a long-distance fantasy crush on via FB and got Jaqueline Lily. Lay off the Lily, already!
Yes, it is working, but there is a backlog and we cannot process anything new." And then he walked away.
Lemme guess. The name tag said Tino, amiright?
I have had crap experiences with my local CVS (we don't have anything from your doctor, etc.) but they're so dang convenient I haven't switched.
Hil, the CVS at Dupont has consistently been good for me. Hopefully that's not one of the ones that's sucked for you, since it's near(ish) to you.
I got a Caroline Faith. Also saw a lot of Serenity and Kaylee.
One poll asks "What should I name my kid? Thea or Halo?"
WTF, HALO? I'm thinking -- video game or Beyonce song? And which is worse?
Ahahaha! The Genie just gave me Blaze Bryce [RL last name].
