[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 418034, member: 84"] It sounds as if you have a pharm tech or pharmacist snitching your medications. When I worked at Rite Aide we had a young pharm tech who was "skimming off the top" of certain medications. At first he was careful, usually just a few off so that most customers didn't realize they were shorted......and the few that did, just brought it back in and demanded their full script amt. As the money started rolling in for it........he got sloppier and sloppier about it, and larger numbers of pills per script came up missing. Enough customer complaints to the store manager and district manager was enough to have the pharmacy closely watched and investigated. Didn't take much looking for them to realize that the scripts that were coming up short were ones he'd filled. He was arrested shortly after. Nice kid, but very gullable and dumb. He wasn't even taking the pills, he had been talked into it by his girlfriend. He went to jail, she went and found a new mark. ugh I'd go back to counting it in front of them everytime again. I know it's a pain, but better that than coming up short. And if possible, I'd report it to the store manager, then whomever his boss is. Otherwise only thing I can think to do is to go to the police or maybe call the district attorney to have them look in to it. If it's the pharmacist, he needs to have his license pulled at the very least. I know a "skimmer" who works at one of our local pharmacies. I know him because he used to supply bff from time to time...........and we took classes together while he was doing his pharm tech training. I've reported him a few times.....each time he supplied bff and I actually was there to see it myself. So far he's still working. I won't use that pharmacy. But at all of them, I dump pills out at the counter and count them before walking away. Because once you get home it's next to impossible to convince them they made the error. ugh [/QUOTE]
