With great regret, We've to share with you this story with you...it's sad, but very true.

I was at the job last night so we had our usual craze between 10PM to midnight (and beyond...yup, I work the overnight shift!). We were looking to sort out an insurance issue for among our patients in the first lane of our drive-through (we'll call her Sally) while another car sat waiting inside the second lane. While my colleagues were dealing using the drive-through patients, I was about the phone with a not too happy patient. Evidently someone was here to pick-up her medications and among them wasn't ready...she said the person picking up to be with her was inside drive-through in the red Bronco (take note of that last part, it's somewhat important!) So, I solved the issue while using upset patient on the phone and had among my colleagues sell her prescription for the person collecting on her (to the red Bronco guy in lane 2). Meanwhile, Sally ended up coming inside to call her insurance in hopes of solving the problem. Unfortunately her insurance had expired so she wound up taking her prescriptions back (one of that has been for Percocet). We carried on with our work, helping patients because they came along and keeping things straight within the pharmacy. About Thirty minutes later, Sally called us and he or she was obviously a bit freaked out. Apparently, the red Bronco guy (who ended up in lane 2 while she was at lane 1) came up to her outside after she left the store and asked her if she'd got a new prescription for a narcotic. If so, he planned to find the narcotic prescription from her. NOTE:  Narcotics are prescription medications utilized to treat severe pain, plus they can be sold illegally on the trail as a recreational drug (gets people high and happy).

The red Bronco guy had overheard the discussion between Sally and my colleague while sitting inside drive-through. Somewhere for the reason that conversation, the Percocet prescription had been discussed so he knew she was there to pick-up an opiate medication. Even though his business ended with the pharmacy, he stuck around inside car park until Sally became available in the store...that's when he made his move. Luckily, Sally we had not filled/purchased her Percocet prescription - who knows what may have gone down if she had! It is unlikely that Sally would have been hurt, but there have been cases like Sally's where people have been attacked. Instead, Sally was just freaked out (rightfully so) and desired to warn us in relation to the red Bronco guy. Not only can pharmacies be held up, but you can be too - you might have what the bad person wants. If they desire your medications badly enough, they might take drastic measures to get them. I don't wish to scare you because it is rare that similar to what happened to Sally would happen to you personally - simply wanted to make sure you eventually be cautious of the surroundings! If you feel you will need more privacy at the pharmacy, please allow the pharmacy staff know and I'm sure they are going to do what you can to fulfill your needs...besides, it could be the law! Has Sally's situation happened to you personally before? Definitely share your story because I believe the more cases shared, the harder cautious others will be!
