    Usually, face to face, I try to keep a positive tone dealing with people I meet and interact with. Every once in awhile that cheerful and positive demeanor (yeah I might seem like a crank here but this is a politics board) takes a blow from a situation.

    Yesterday, since the mail order pharmacy was slow to get my prescription in the shipping lane, I had to jump through hoops to get 5 pills from my local pharmacy. 60 bucks but that's life.

    My gripe has nothing to do with the cost of the medication or the fact insurance wouldn't help because I've already ordered mail order, before the Bernie Sanders gang hops in. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I purchased a cart load of shit at Sams Club along with those 5 doses of diabetes medicine. I loaded up the car and after I drove away I realized I left the prescription in the cart. Went back to Sams and the cart guy help me out and found the bag in one of the shopping carts, without the pill bottle.

    After filing a lost and found another cart guy asked if I had parked around this area, & I said yes. He said he thought he'd seen it so we walked down to the cart return and there was the bottle. Empty. The bottle was just discarded.

    Of course Sams Club and the pharmacy couldn't really help, since it is a prescription medication and it wasn't anyone who works theres fault.

    I was just pissed off by the fact that there are scum bags in the world.

      In WV, the cashier and the customer would have crushed the pills up and snorted them before ever reading the label. There would probably be others in line asking them not to bogart it.

      Junkies will be junkies. They are the worst.

            No, it was the invokana. Metformin is free just about. I hope the cocksucker passes out from hypoglycemia.

              They have cameras about everywhere anymore. Wonder if they have the thief on video camera?

                  you could skip that medication all together if you just learned how to fast. Just saying. In any case, i'm sure the little shitlicker is on one of those camera's. Surprised you didn't ask them to review it.

                      Was thinking the same! But diet modification can, for some diabetics, dramatically reduce the amount of medication needed.

                        Oh absolutely. However, fasting is a bit extreme for a diabetic. That can get someone killed.

                          Oh I have been watching my diet and I'm not freaking out over the loss of the medication for a day or two. That wasn't the point of my story. The point is that if I find somebody's prescription I would guess he might need it. Which makes me even more of a scumbag if I steal it.

                            I'm very much of the same mind. I hate when people diminish my view of people in such ways.

                                    In WV, the cashier and the customer would have crushed the pills up and snorted them before ever reading the label. There would probably be others in line asking them not to bogart it.

                                    Junkies will be junkies. They are the worst.

                                    When I was in the navy I remember walking down the hall in our ship with a shipmate and he saw a dirty looking pill on the dirty floor and he picked it up, put it in his mouth and swallowed it and said "i wonder if I'll get a buzz out of this?". It takes all kinds.
