I am new to the company and recently promoted to Store Manager after 3 months. Q1: why does this company love pay Licensed Pharmacist to being A DL? I am sure the salaries are not cheap. 9/10 DL’s are pharmacist. 1 DL salary can pay for an entire... — read more 

I just heard from my DL that we are reverting to the OLD coupon policy. I don’t know if this is a company wide thing or just my district. From this point forward we are to accept every single coupon whether it’s expired, for the wrong item, etc. It’s... — read more 

Corporate needs to reinstate the Head Cashier position! Getting rid of head cashiers meant losing the one other person who could do all those “manager card scans” so as a manager you weren’t being called to the front 30 times per shift. Really bad... — read more 

Pharmacists, why are we attending cascade meetings unpaid? Why don’t we all just not attended. If we are salaried that’s fine but why are we told to make up the hours we missed to attend the meetings? The meeting is part of our salaried hours. It... — read more

Are the pharmacist schedulers and admin jobs gone? Anyone hear anything? I have reason to believe that this will happen soon.

#itsAnnoyingWhen a customer walks in and just stares up at the aisle markers and/or the photo lab looking all confused

Why are DL and Rm ‘s so ethically challenged at this company?

So I was surprised to see this yesterday... A small folding table set up in store with a guy sitting behind the table promoting aetna insurance. Now I never got a chance to find out what that was all about, but I know the judge in the case has not... — read more

What cluster blank! This Plano is going to take longer than 70-90 hour...plus if your unlucky enough to have a beauty consultant that does absolutely nothing but texted all day, your double screwed.

This new coupon system is making it so hard to actually take care of the customer the way they supposedly want us to. Taking away the mfr coupon button is beyond stupid. Now we are supposed to apply the coupon amount by price modifying the item. For... — read more 

...in my opinion, are these: 1) Sales - 40%. 2) MCP- 30% 3) Customer Service scores - 30% All other metrics can be tossed in the garbage, because if you making all three of the above, your Store will be successful.

Looks like starting 2/3 cvs will give each employee $3 for every carepass they sell

Who’s doing it 100% by design? Is it truly successful? Low, mid, or high volume ? Are you receiving pressure to implement? Any other positive/negative feedback about it. Thanks

I need advice. Been here 15+ years. My new dl doesnt have a clue what they are doing. Has no fs knowledge and no idea on realistic time frames of events. Its their way or no way. What do i do?
