  Speaker 1: I was back last night on social media. I went
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: viral and it scared me. Told you, I took my
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: post down because when it I know, because I'm not.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I don't trying to capture attention like you people do.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Like people like you, you would have killed. Do you
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: know I'm watching in real time a fairly innocuous tweet
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that I put up it on x It got to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand views.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Is that bad unless it's something that you think you
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: phrased badly or kind of want to rethink or something.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I didn't phrase it badly. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: got scared of the sheer volume. And then I was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: starting to get all these people who never heard of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: me before, threatening me and coming at me. There is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and it got and I thought, oh gosh, this is
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: going to reach I'll and I'll tell you what I wrote.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It was real simple.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You're in a safe space, now share with us.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: For the mpteen time. I went to my pharmacy CBS
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: yesterday to pick out that prescription. I went to it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I went to pick up a prescription at one in
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the afternoon.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And they close every day at once because the pharmacist
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: needs to get a sandwich. The pharmacists needs the pharmacy.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It's lunch and it's apparently this is a policy that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is country wide. All of them do it. Apparently, as
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I learned through they a million CBS, Walgreens, publics, they
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: all do it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: They got I thought it was just a CVS thing,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: because that's my pharmacy taught.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's across the board. They take a lunch break. It's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it has something to do with staffing. And my my
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: post was simply this, Am I the only one that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: goes to CBS at one thirty and they're always closed? Yep,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this it's an idiotic policy. Is it just me and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the one I go to? Or is across the board?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: It is, of course across the board. I brought it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: up and did you get any answers? Is what people
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: answers I was getting. We're gonna find where you live.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a pharmacist in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I'm coming
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to track you down, you son of a blank. I've
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: got scared. I deleted the post when it and mark
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it was wild because I'm watching you can see how
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: many views a post like that gets. Oh, it's like
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it's like a like a like a slot machine in Vegas.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It was going one hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and eighty thousand, and I've never gotten something viral like that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But then I started getting these threats, these direct message threats.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I thought, Nop, look like you said yesterday, and I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: talked about it. You can't get in trouble for something
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you don't say.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Well, you get in.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So the answer I got and I tried to have
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: this make sense because I think your logic is like mine.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: It's a store, have somebody working back up, just you
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: can you play? I mean, by what logic do you
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: have to close at all? If the pharmacy's open, you
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: should be open, period. Paragraph. The answer I got back
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: is you have to have an actual pharmacist there. Correct,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: some stores have only one pharmacist, like all day? What
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: from eight in the morning till six at night? What
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: kind of you know slave there? I know that there's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: just no excuse for this, no other way. Very few
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: other businesses do that. It's very weird, and I think
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you're one hundred percent right. Here's the other problem.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Let's face it, ninety percent of the transactions you have
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: at the pharmacy have nothing to do with the actual.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Pharmacy, but they got to be there. But they just
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: in case of question rises at the window, you got
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to go. Policy or by law, I don't know, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I would not disagree with either.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: If I've got an idea, then have a second pharmacy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I no, no, I got no. No, I got a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: better idea. How about we're going to stay, keep the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: pharmacy open. And if there's a question that involves the pharmacist,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: because you say they got to be there, well you're
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: gonna have to wait until two o'clock. But when I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: going in to pick up my hay fever medicine, give
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: me my damn hay fever medicine.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Give me the ball. Okay, let's leve.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it might be the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's law. I think it's policy. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: think they want a pharmacy there to cover their butts.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: A pharmacist there. Rather, I don't think, and I just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: think it's policy. But like you said, stagger the hours
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and what was really annoying to me. I ran all
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the way across town yesterday to get the stupid I get.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I take I take uh. And by the way, quick
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: pharmacy tip for fellow allergy sufferers. Years ago, I was
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: prescribed a nasal spray called a zastolin that has been
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a godsend for my.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Norse by Lisa Davis. I just pop it occasional xytec.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: She's got it way worse than me.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I used to say, absolutely.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Because she's she's allergic to something in the air. I
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: think they call it oxygen, and she's just.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Got it bad. Especially I'm doing. I'm allergic to trees.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I've got a true so if it's windy and there's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: trees around, I'm in the bed for about a month.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So but the as I think it's a z E
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: L ST I A st right it is.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Let's try you want to try this. Here you go
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: technology on the fly and try to act. This is
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: going to go horribly, which will be even more entertaining.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Let me do the dictation. Hang on a second, Okay.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: In discussing a rule found commonly in Texas pharmacies, Comma,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: where they are often closed between one thirty and two pm, Comma,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I understand that the desire to have a pharmacist on
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: staff period. Is that a policy matter for the company
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: or is it required by Texas law?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Right now? Who you're asking this groc or?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Is that is is pharmacy tech groc.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Pharmacy tech groc.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: It is primarily driven by Texas law written. I don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: know if it's Florida law requiring continuous on site pharmacist
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: supervision when a pharmacy is open for services under Texas
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Occupations Code.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So it's a long it appears to get well touched
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a nerve because people were and people were getting wildly
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: emotional about this issue, because.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, but what if I is it? Why would somebody
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: be mad at you for this?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They were well, they were well because they thought I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was attacking the pharmaceutical industry. I guess so maybe, And
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: then I started thinking about, like I'm going to wind
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: up being on a hit list of the big farm.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Really, I don't think you want to make anybody angry
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: about healthcare these.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Days, with no kidding, but most people were on art
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: were agreeing with you and me. Most people were saying,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: this is the dumbest thing I've experienced this myself. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: then they were getting into fights with each other on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this thing all on beads of sweat foreman
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on my forehead, thinking they're coming for me, and I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: looking at this going viral, and I thought, uh uh, nope,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I deleted. And now if you can look, it'll say
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this post has been deleted.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And now everybody knows why.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's pharmacy folks or CVS folks saying, look, if
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: we stay open for Mike and who's zest, and then
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the poor pharmacist can't get a lunch break or they
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: have to fire somebody because they the two pharmacists sixty seconds,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I thought I was you host of the common Man.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Pretty soon after I returned to my native Texas, I
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: noticed that I found like a car deal car dealerships
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: closed on Sunday or something. I went and I was
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: looking for a car on a Sunday. Is what's going on?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And they said, it's not that they have to be
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: closed on Sunday, but it was a rule that said
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: car dealerships can own A law said car dealerships can
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: only be opened six days a week. So that's stupid.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: If a dealership wants to be open, they should be open.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: I haven't we gotten past the notion of government telling
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: businesses when you can be open. Come on, come with me,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I'll ride you, I'll put you on my back, and

• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Lindsay's a runo. Lindsay did not have it. He was
• 13:21
