It's not that those employees don't care. It's that they are burdened by corporate metrics and understaffing that makes their jobs a living hell. They don't answer the phone because they literally don't have time. A pharmacist will walk into a shift with 1000 scripts in their fill queue and leave their shift with 1200 scripts in their fill queue because corporate will not adequately staff the stores. They literally do not care about the employees. It's a shame, really. I don't hate the people, I hate the business.


I'll find a new career before I ever go work for Walgreens or CVS.

My CVS has 6-8 people working the 24-hour pharmacy at any given time (well probably not at like 3 am, but I'm not in at that time). They have people constantly answering phones and providing consultations. They're patient as hell with the old and poor folks. I've never had to wait in line more than 10-15 minutes for a prescription either (and that is rare).

Why dont they use the $11.60 (round trip) September 11 security fee thats added to all tickets to pay TSA?

That's mostly how TSA is funded already. But Congress still has to vote to spend the funds that have been collected.

I’m not going to try to figure out how to copy the graph and post it for you on my phone. Just google this -

“graph of historical gasoline prices versus adjusted based on inflation”

Or look here

Do you have a source besides a jpg from an anonymous Reddit user who does not cite their references?

1976 was also the middle of its own oil crisis. You're just comparing one period of exceptionally high prices to another.

. I use HEB. My doc sends over the script. HEB tells me they have the script and when it’s ready. Easy peasy.

CVS does the same for me. Walgreens did too before they quit taking my insurance. Not sure what OP's beef is. Must be on some serious meds.

If either party cared at all about TSA, the people that do the actual job, and the folks stranded in airports for hours, someone would introduce a bill to just fund TSA. You dont hate politicians enough. All of them suck. Including the current president that I voted for three times. Terrible people.

---

That bill has been proposed at least 8 times. At least 8 times it has been rejected.

Congrats! Had my first at 40, wife was 38. It's exhausting being an older parent. Fun but exhausting. I'm a little jealous sometimes of the late-20- and early-30-somethings in our parent group that seem to have so much time and energy. Definitely motivation to stay in shape so I can keep up with him as he grows up.

Until literally yesterday, over 12K. I googled how to mass "mark all read" and it turns out it's way easier than I thought.

Work email, family email, text messages, and WhatsApp are at zero every day.

I don’t know anything about our tax system, but even if there was a tax on every item purchased .0002 wouldn’t that cover the deed it if it all went into the pot and not stolen?

A national sales tax is a political non-starter. It may be the only constitutional power congress has but has never exercised.
