I reported it to Walgreens management but I’m curious what can happen to the technicians in this situation.
I have triplets and their pediatrician submitted an RX for one of my sons yesterday and when I got the Walgreens notification that it was ready it was filled for one of my other kids. I called the doctor in case it was their error but they confirmed they sent it over under the correct child’s name. Turns out Walgreens admitted that when they received the script they typed in the birthdate and selected the first person that popped up. Luckily it was one of my children but I keep thinking how dangerous that is. The fact that they aren’t confirming who they are filling prescriptions for can be extremely harmful if the patient is not paying attention to what the pharmacy is handing them. Anyone else experience this?

Hi, I worked at this terrible pharmacy in Palm Harbor, FL for about a month. They're called E-Rx Hub. Here's the copy/pasted review I left on Indeed. Complaints are in no specific order.

When I was hired the owner told me I was going to be full time. Toward the end I was lucky to get 20-30 hours per week. I am an adult who has bills to pay, not some college kid doing this as a side gig.
They advertise themselves as a compounding pharmacy but their clean rooms aren't even set up yet and they outsource everything.
I was told that mistakes are completely unacceptable during my first week after being trained for 10 minutes by someone who had been there a week. I was also told in front of everyone that I cannot be making mistakes at all and when I was clearly embarrassed and about to have a panic attack the owner said she was just doing it for accountability. But the girl who has been there for many months sends out the wrong medication to a patient and nobody says anything. I also explained multiple times that them playing loud music was distracting me which was leading to the mistakes. They pretended to turn the music down for a day then it went right back up.
I caught a discrepancy with one of the clinics that were sending prescriptions over incorrectly and was told I was wrong multiple times and it only got fixed when the pharmacist refused to fill the prescriptions.
The owner tried to argue with the same pharmacist that we should be sending out NAD vials that were close to expiring.
There was a terrible bug infestation that took days to fix and then the dead bugs were just left everywhere.
There's a bathroom with no locks on it so anyone can just walk in on you.
They used an air freshener that messed with my asthma and did nothing when I told them it was bothering me.
The owner does nothing to verify credentials. There was a girl whose license was expired that worked there for multiple days. The only reason she was fired is because she admitted her license lapsed. They didn't make me print my license for a month and just took my word for it that I was licensed.
I didn't get paid for my first 2 days where I worked 4 hours each day.
The FedEx account was never paid so the shipping department had days they just couldn't do their job.
The manager who opens the building is up to 30 minutes late most days.
There's pill dust all over the counters that gets on their syringe packaging supplies because there's no set area for filling.
You can have food and drink in the direct filling area. They told me small snacks only but I'd come in and there would be mcdonalds containers in the garbage in the main room.
One time the trash in the break room was overflowing for multiple days before someone finally took it out.
The owner expected me to go to advertising events and call clinics to do marketing when that's not in my job title.
There were days where all I did for 8 hours was put syringes in bags. When I asked if I could help fill I was told that syringe kits were just as important. Meanwhile the manager who is not a licensed tech was helping fill.
There was no sharps container (at least not one openly displayed) until I brought up the fact that we needed one when I found a broken syringe/needle. When I found said syringe I made a joke about worker's comp and was told by an employee "we don't have that here."
They are constantly running out of medications causing the filler to sit there twiddling her thumbs all day waiting for them to be delivered.
I was told they were "working on" getting insurance and PTO benefits set up. That did not happen.

I am a pharmacy tech in training. Earlier today, I left a medication in a drawer by the register, it was a return to stock and I put it there so I wouldn’t hand it out by accident! I can’t remember if I took care of it or if I forgot all about it and left it! I’m freaking out! Will I get written up for this? I don’t want to get fired, the pharmacy is closed already and I hope someone caught it before they closed. I don’t know what to do!
Edit: This keeps getting taken down by Reddit filters?? Not sure what that means.

When I tried to appeal it Reddit deleted my account data as well. Instead of just banning me.

I’ve made 3 accounts since then and each one gets banned for speaking out against hims and hers.

Do I not have a right to complain about an HR Representative who forgot to show up to the initial screening, then tried to hardball me into taking a night shift role despite putting open availability beyond night?
