Today I was in the store and the cashier was checking out something the family ahead of me was buying and YELLS across the aisles to another cashier, "Can you buy (such and such) with WIC?" Personally, I didn't think it was the rest of the store's business how these folks were paying for their groceries. I hear you - some people just don't think.

They can get in trouble for that!!! How embarassing for the mom!
Um, why don't you switch pharmacies? Obviously they don't appreciate your business and I think they are extremely unprofessional!
I drive an extra 15 miles to mine just because the local one is similar to yours.
I recently had a tooth pulled and went to the closest pharmacy to get my scripts for Darvocette and antibiotics filled. They told me it would be 45 minutes, now keep in mind I am standing there with my mouth filled with guaze. I wait the 45 minutes then go back and ask for the meds. They tell me it will be 45 minutes. I say-"That's what you told me 45 minutes ago". I get a smirk and no apology she just repeats it will be 45 minutes. I asked if there is a problem with the script. I get no reply so I ask for my prescription back and take it to another pharmacy where it takes all of 10 minutes for it to be filled. I think they were much more compassionate because I was sitting on the bench rocking back and forth in pain. Needless to say I will not be going to that pharmacy for ANYTHING ever again.

This reminds me of when I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled and had to do the same thing. The girl behind the counter kept saying "10 more minutes" every time I went up there. I finally took the wad of bloody gauze out of my mouth and acted like I was handing it to her and said "would you mind throwing this away for me then if it's gonna be that long?"
It's amazing how quickly they were able to count out 30 Vicodin!
I agree witht he above poster, the word HIPPA is gonna spout from my mouth on a regular basis now. If it's got to make my workday so much worse, Imight as well get some leverage out of it!

It would seem to me most useful to take the immediate step of insisting to speak to the pharmacist in charge (or store manager in the other instance) RIGHT NOW whenever these kinds of things happen.
THEN, if the pharmacist doesn't quickly correct the situation, move on to another company. I'd give the "boss" at least this one chance to fix it, AND to learn about this kind of problem if it hadn't been brought to her/his attention earlier.
That's what I do, at any rate (except at places where obviously nobody would care, from top to bottom--like a McDonalds, for example).

Okay, Has anyone had this problem? I was at pharmacy to pick up script and clerk had a attitude. She practically yelled out what my prescription was! I find this to be rude. Its my business the meds I am taking, not everyone else sitting there waiting for their scripts. This store is usually very busy and the customer is rushed. Its like I can't write out my check fast enough. Oh, and than sometimes you get the rolling eyes. You know what I mean? You can tell when someone has an attitude when having a busy day. If I did this to my pt. I'd be out of a job. What happened to common courtesy? Thanks for letting me vent.
