Walmart pharmacy is so underrated
Shoutout to our pharmacy team. Customers don’t realize how much pressure they’re under, from constant phone calls to filling scripts fast while dealing with insurance nonsense. They deserve way more love.

I’ve explained how to use an inhaler more times than I’ve used a microwave this week. And I love microwaves.
When does Walmart pharmacy close?
Quick question—what time does the pharmacy close at your store? Ours shuts down at 7 PM, but folks always wander over at 7:15 like they’re shocked. Had to turn away three people yesterday. Do you announce it or just close the gate and hope for the best?
... read moreCustomer passed out
There was this old lady who came in yesterday to ask for something for his headache. Right after she asked, she passed away. I got scared as he^l because I’m a newbie around here. It’s the first time I've seen something like this. Anyway, we helped the customer get up and when she was conscious again, she said that she almost had no sleep for the last 2 days. Apparently, the reason was her son was having problems in her marriage. Anyway, that happened, I got scared and I just wanted to share. Toodles.

I have worked at Walgreens and I have worked at CVS and I can tell you that while far from ideal, working as a pharmacist at Walmart is by far the best option of the three. At least here I'm not alone trying to run the entire thing by myself because of how stingy they are with staffing. I have to say I'm grateful I now work here.

I've noticed many pharmacist job openings in the Atlanta area and wondered why. It seems pharmacists are dealing with increasing requests and it's reaching the point where it's superhard to do the work period - unpaid weekly meetings before work and promoting additional vaccinations like Shingrix and Gardasil to make even more profit and it's so hard for poeple who are suposed to do the work. They're also expected to help nearly every patient to upsell more services and make specific calls that will help Walmart make even more $$$. This extra workload has contributed to a nationwide shortage of retail pharmacists, as many who left the industry are reluctant to return, preferring to avoid the retail setting. The poor treatment during the COVID pushed many to look for better jobs (as the did, many left), as any other job seemed better compared to the negative experiences they had at the pharmacy here (and other large chains are as bad as we are). Frankly I have no questions just want to vent a bit. I see that there are no posts in the pharmacy section on this website so I am not even sure if someone will see it but that's how I feel on this Friday afternoon.
