first, i'd like to note that at 1:17 she states there are 25 days in a month.
well i work at CVS, and thank god no drive thru, fucking hate those things. if you can drive, get out and come to the pharmacy, if you can't, we deliver. fuck that fast food BS.
second, i'd be calm at first, i've had people throw prescriptions at me, yell at me, the works. thats fine. i don't know the situation, but its likely 1 of two situations. the pharmacy did not have enough, and asked if she would like a partial fill, so that she has some medication, and can come back for the rest the next day when the order comes in. CVS doesn't charge until you get the majority(usually when you pick up the rest, we'll give enough for 2-3 days so we can give partials to other patients). in this situation, its likely the woman was trying to dupe the pharmacy out of pills.
if the prescription is for 60 pills(1 month, twice a day), one does not simply count out 10(a 5 day supply at 2 pills a day). a technician usually counts the pills, puts them in a bottle, and labels them, then passes to QA(pharmacist) for verification. they'd notice if it were 50 pills short. i can understand giving 55-59 pills instead of 60, and if a customer said that for a normal medication, we would apologize and give them up to 5 pills, whatever they are missing, even if we think its BS. it COULD happen. some medicine is more regulated as it has a higher chance of abuse. Control medications are double counted(vicodin and the like). Narcotics(vyvanse, morphine tabs and the like) are kept in a safe and only handled by the pharmacist.
anyway, i'd at first apologize and see what i could do to remedy the situation. if she kept at this, i would explain to her that she can come into the pharmacy and come speak to the pharmacist, if she does not calm down, i have no problem calling the police. i have dispatch(yes direct line) for most towns in my area in my contacts, and starting the call saying "hi this is so and so from blah blah ambulance corps, im at the CVS on blah blah, send a unit for a disorderly person, possible involuntary commit" and there'd be a squad car there pretty quick =P

You're lucky to work in a pharmacy without a drive thru... I didn't know that CVS does not charge for a partial fill. At Wags, we charge for a partial fill, and sometimes we charge the full amount depending on the copay cost. I avoid dealing with police unless I really have to! When someone brings me a fake script, I just tell them I have to verify the script with the md and they just walk away. Only one time, this idiot brought me a script from the er and it was poorly written: precoset blah blah, and I told him I have to verify it and started being an ass and even dared to say, go ahead call md and verify it. I called the er, md wasn't available but I was told the patient was a hospital employee! That bastard knew md wasn't there and asked for the script back, but I made a copy of it anyway. 10 minutes later, the er manager calls me and said employee wasn't seen in the er and to make the story short, the dumbass got arrested when he reported to work later that day. Cops came and wanted me to go the station and identify the guy. I said I can't unless I close the pharmacy. Cops looked at the camera recordings and someone else identified the guy and he confessed, and luckily they didn't call me to go to court!
today i had a lady come in droppin of perc 5-325, she didnt know the patients bday, diff address, wanted to pay by check, didnt have a drivers license, and gave a diff adress...at 9pm when we close at 10... i was like really lady? you fucking fail.

yeah ur fine, these original pads were failing at like 8k-12k and sometimes even less. there was a class action and most of us got reimbursed for the work done.
I also managed to warp my front rotors by 18k when i got my pads serviced but to be fair to the car I was driving it like a 19 year old that just got his hands on a new car
