No that's annoying, Teppy. Mine often has one drug I get that they don't stock, and have to get next day, and they always end up calling me after I call the automated system for a refill, and asking "is tomorrow after 1pm ok?" (Once it wasn't so I ended up driving to the branch that stocked it)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Walgreens tends to overcommunicate, which is fine except for that one time they told me the drug I needed was discontinued by the manufacturer. Which it was not.

Awww, RIP Opportunity. Apparently NASA called it. Ya done well, Opportunity!
Just got back from taking the dog to the park in the pouring rain. She refuses to go outside when it is raining, unless I go with her. I don't even bother with a leash, just get my umbrella and walk over to the park and she happily tags along, quickly does her thing, then runs home. And with her taking water pills she goes often!

Steph, could also be some kind of ordering computer problem -- or else they're running short of some meds and falling back on the "if the customer complains, they must really need it" school of corporate pharmacy scheiss.

Someone could have pushed a bad update to the CVS app, too.

I'm supposedly signed up for automatic refills with CVS but periodically they don't refill them until I specifically request the refill ... and then tell me that it could have been refilled sometime before and asks if I want it refilled now.

According to my news alerts Lyndon LaRouche won't be among those running for president in 2020. Too soon?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm about to go pick up my prescriptions, and I'm just going to mention I had a problem with 2 different refills and see what they say. If they brush me off, though, I might turn into Can I See Your Manager person, which I really don't want to do. No one likes Can I See Your Manager person.

Hey. New board.
Someone wasn't thinking things all the way through when they rationed eggs but not mayo. Although I guess no one's eating bacon and mayo for breakfast?
When I make mayo I use one egg yolk for like two cups of mayo, so maybe this was a pretty clever push in a less eggy direction? Also, I totally use mayo to "butter" the bread fry for morning sandwiches, it's like the mayo grilled cheese hack.
My go-to vegan gluten free dessert would just be some high quality sorbet, but I know you weren't feeling the cold so that is definitely tougher. Rice pudding would be my vote I think.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The nice pharmacy tech at CVS told me they were swamped with work for the past week, and as a consequence, they were about 2 days behind.
Shit, folks, who *can't* identify with falling behind at work? If the dude had told me they were behind when I called, I would have been WAY more understanding. If you don't say anything, I assume that your customer service has gone to shit.
Thus endeth the saga of CVS.
