Thank god Inever got myprescriptions at this particular branch of Duane Reade! What’s not clear from this statement, is who she sold the prescriptions to – obviously an accomplice.
I would appreciate his technique normally, if I didn't know all about the crisis in our Health system. His case goes to show that pharmacies should keep a better account of who they hire, because obviously this guy wasn't the best people person.
