In the 1980's I worked until 11pm and could grocery shop in Nixa after work. I think this area goes backward.

Yeah, before COVID every Walmart was open 24 hours. Even the neighborhood one up the street from me.

Lame as fuck

Fuck yes. I work until 11p. I'm an asocial night owl. If there was a grocery store open until 12am or 1am, they'd know me by name because I'd be in there two or three times a week.

Better conditions: it currently seems that these folks are working a very busy location that appears to be severely understaffed if folks are waiting hours. This is a brutal work environment. If you have the appropriate number of techs scheduled at the right times, this would probably take care of a majority of this category.

Better pay: you said it yourself, they jump to the highest bidder and good for them. Be at or near the top of the pay grade and this issue is also fixed.

Define "better conditions" and "better pay." These are highly ambiguous terms. In that industry, these workers will just jump around to whomever is paying 50 cents more per hour. As long as Walgreens continues to have an increasing bottom line, that is all that matters to them.

False. Walgreen's first obligation is to provide earnings for its shareholders. Walgreens, just as many other companies do, might "frame" themselves as putting customers/patients/health first to increase their business, but in reality, nothing goes above profits.

It’s not that expensive to renew your registration and since you let them expire you’ll have to pay a late fee now

What was it do I can avoid it ?

Walgreen’s first obligation is patient safety and health. You may not have medications that you depend on to live and feel well, but I and many others do. The manager definitely has control and can himself report the failings to the board of pharmacy if he doesn’t have the resources he needs to operate safely.

It’s more than $12, but most of that $500 was probably the tax.

Fighting for employees to have better conditions and pay is the actionable item that will provide him real value.

Go to his GM with how many people they’ve hired in x timeframe, what they were hired at and correlate that information to how long they stayed.

Now, obviously nothing is guaranteed to work, but outright dismissing the idea saying it’s not actionable isn’t participating in good faith.

Revenue generation. The nee prison..I mean jail totaled 156 million.

The entitlement is strong. Be grateful that you had the ability to get the medication.

This town needs a bunch of 24/7 businesses. There's plenty of night owls that would work the shifts no problem. I come from Las Vegas, that city is never asleep.

Then Walgreens should update their website because it is still listed as open 24-hours.

I have noticed there’s been so so many around. Crazy.
