Debated where to put this and whether to post it at all - I've haven't been around much because, well, assholes gonna asshole, but this is too good not to share and chances are a few of you may know this guy.
Austin Compounding Pharmacy has been preparing two controlled substance prescriptions for me on a monthly basis for about 18 months. During Covid I had them delivered because I was spending my lockdown in cancer treatment (BTH out of it, second time, FU cancer). So anyway three out of the first four months I had the prescriptions delivered they "forgot" to put one in the bag. This freaked me out because no way was the doctor going to replace the script. I always called and they would say "Oh, yeah, sorry, we forgot to put one of the prescriptions in the bag". We'll send it out tomorrow. Well, I figured the odds of that happening so regularly was pretty close to 0% so I figured someone was trying to steal the drugs. So I started picking them up.
Then began a series of months where one of the scripts was randomly not ready when promised. Whenever that would happen I'd just pick up the one and have them delivery the other. They always waived the delivery fee. Not that it was a lot and I didn't want to be a Karen but my medical bills are high enough and I sure as hell wasn't interested in repeatedly paying for someone else's mistake.
Fast forward to last month, I went to pick up my prescriptions, made the mistake of not checking, and of course when I got home 20 minutes later there was only one prescription in the bag. I called back and the same lady who had told me they were both ready tried to tell me some bullshit story about the needing to call the doctor about the second prescription and he didn't call back until I had already picked up the first, which was total crap because I had just left 20 minutes before. I asked her to please deliver the second prescription. Two days later I called back to check the status and got some kid who said he had one script ready for pickup. I said no, it needs to be delivered because it wasn't ready when promised. He snapped back that he was only reading what was on the screen and that he'd take care of it, then slammed the phone down in my ear. OK fine, whatever.
The next day I got the prescription with a delivery charge. I called to get the fee removed and I get put on hold. Their hold advertising was pimping Ivermectin. And Zinc and Vitamin C to prevent Covid. And all sorts of other shit they said you should come get if you tested positive and didn't want to call your doctor. None of that sat well with me. Next thing I know the owner (who didn't identify himself, I just knew his voice) got on the phone and just started bitching. He was tired, he was overworked, he was stressed, and was I really calling to bother him about a delivery charge? Last straw. I told him to do whatever the hell he wanted with his delivery charge, that I was switching pharmacies and he should be ashamed at himself for shilling Ivermectin. Then I hung up.
The owner called me back and left me a voicemail telling me I was fired (you can't fire me, I quit), that he wasn't going to take my shit about Ivermectin, and that I should just piss off. I'm now going to Tarrytown Pharmacy. They are much nicer, much more proactive, and I even got my third Covid shot when I was there this month.
Anyway, don't got to Austin Compounding Pharmacy.
TLDR:
Austin Compounding Pharmacy may have been trying to steal my drugs
Austin Compounding Pharmacy is totally incompetent
Austin Compounding Pharmacy pushes Ivermectin
Austin Compounding Pharmacy's owner is a psycho who called and left me an expletive-laden voicemail.
