Pharmacy Number to Give Out?
Our store’s signage has the old Walmart pharmacy number on it, and it’s confusing customers. Do you keep a printout of all department contact numbers just in case?
Mail Order Pharmacy Contact?
Does anyone have the Walmart mail order pharmacy phone number handy? A customer said they couldn't find it anywhere on the main site. Would be helpful to post it by the pharmacy counter.
Pharmacy Open on Sunday?
Had at least five people ask today if the Walmart pharmacy is open on Sunday. Ours is, but limited hours. Anyone’s store still totally closed on Sundays?

Does anyone know what Walmart pharmacy technician pay looks like in 2025? I’ve heard anywhere from $17 to $23 depending on certification. Just wondering what’s real.
Prescription refill via website?
Can a customer do a Walmart prescription refill online without calling in? I’m trying to direct folks to the fastest option, but the process seems clunky.

Do Walmart pharmacy hours for lunch vary by store? Ours closes from 1:30 to 2, but another location nearby does 1 to 1:30. Customers get real confused.

It can't be that compilated
I’ve explained how to use an inhaler more times than I’ve used a microwave this week. And I love microwaves.
It's not my fault if you are stupid
Explained insurance coverage to 6 different people today. None of them understood. All of them were mad. I'm not a wizard, I just work here.
Nope
Someone asked if we had medicine to make their husband stop snoring. Sis, that’s either a CPAP or a divorce lawyer.
Smh
Try explaining insurance coverage to someone screaming at you while their toddler is licking the counter. Working at the pharmacy should count as a survival skill.
Pharmacy is a wild place to work in
It’s wild how many people think we’re magicians back here in the pharmacy. We’re filling hundreds of prescriptions, taking calls, checking insurance, and dealing with folks who yell because we don’t have their exact flavor of cough syrup.
