Just wanted to say thank-you for all your service over the years. It was nice to always go in and get greeted and to have help choosing what would best help our kids when they were sick. Thanks again and have fun traveling and enjoying everything you do. You will be missed.

Bob and Carol thanks for ripping us off for all those years and being jerks to people you thought were beneath you. Have a nice, miserable retirement.

Wow Alice how low are you!!!! I'm just hoping and praying that you don't have any children that you are raising with that type of attitude in life. Maybe you should put your last name or real name on here so everyone can grab you by the throat and teach you a lesson about morals that your parents seem to not have and morals that if you do have children that you probaly are not passing on to your children. If you have issues with someone you need to keep them to yourself you should be ashamed to act like that and wish hatred on people. Don't forget that is why they say KARMA always come back to bite you in the A$$

yea they probably were good to you because you were sporting a medicaid card. To all us working people who actually pay for their health insurance they suck. And looking by the way you spell coming you are definitely a loser...

I had insurance from the work place not Medicaid, an I would go in for an inhaler that the doctor said if one was needed once a week that was fine, I would go every two to three weeks for it to be refilled an get told your insurance company isn’t going to like this your using this way to much ,they weren’t very nice about, an I use to tell them I don’t really care if they don’t pay for it I will. I didn’t feel it was there place to be telling me how the thing got used that’s up to the doctor, it happened all the time I got sick of it so I switched to a place that didn’t give you a hard time over it. Apparently they didn’t want business.

If you didn't like the prices, you didn't have to shop there. They could have made a lot more money by doing business outside of the 'boonies', but they chose to set up shop in their own community and provide a much needed service to their own neighbors.

Thay are a gracious, kind & helpful couple and will surely be blessed and rewarded.

You, on the other hand, might want to be a bit more careful - life tends to serve its own justice and the bad that you wish upon good people most likely will boomerang to hit the deserving target.

Actually, it was not only their place to comment on your frequency of use but it was also their responsibility to mention it. Pharmacists are held accountable for much more than filling prescriptions and accepting payments. They are legally liable to some extent for errors, oversights & questionable practices of those who are writing the prescriptions.

The pharmacy keeps a record of your medication history and has an obligation to tell you about meds that might conflict or any product warnings (including cautions about extended or 'too frequent' use of a product that can lead to more problems).

When it appears that a prescription drug is being used beyond the 'normal' or 'recommended' usage, insurance companies raise flags that can lead to a pharmacy being investigated by regulatory agencies. They have to follow guidelines and mandates and laws that you aren't aware of; for them, it's just part of their 'licensed' professional service.

It's amusing that you are so critical of them for doing their job so well and for caring so much. If they were only concerned about payment, they would be like some other pharmacies and fill it without saying a word - but then which pharmacy really cares about what you are taking and how?

You can rest easier now - one less concerned, caring professinal pharmacist to have to put up with - there are plenty of licensed pill pushers who will fill your order and not give a damn about you. In fact, chances are they won't even remember your name.

If you need to defend your opinions you'll manage to do so without sounding aggressive or dictatorial.
