Foreword

What would you do if one of your coworkers became your WORST NIGHTMARE?!! Are you prepared for this situation?
In this book, you will read REAL stories about REAL pharmacists and REAL pharmacy drama! The identities have been wiped clean. If you are looking for a high dose of positivity and inspiration, then you need put this down and read Chicken Soup For The Soul.

One time my aunt called me, and rather than exchange pleasantries, she said, “Chad, just give me the dirt!” This book is the dirt of the pharmacist world!

Even though people love to hear gossip, most pharmacists only share this information with close friends. Why is pharmacy gossip kept on the ‘down low’ when there is so much to learn from it?

One thing I have learned about people is you never want other pharmacists to think that your job is easier than theirs. The same rule applies to your non-pharmacist friends. If others think your job is easier than theirs, not only will they be envious, but they will come to you for help. Most people don’t have a clue about what challenges the pharmacist faces on a daily basis. If someone asks ‘what do you do as a pharmacist’, and you want to tell the truth but don’t have time, then refer them to this book!

When I first thought of the idea to create this book, someone told me, “you are teaching pharmacists how to fight each other.” My instant reaction was, “Good, only the pharmacists who read this book deserve to learn how to fight so they can learn how to hold their position.”

I have written this book for the purpose of transparency and amusement. Here are some of the questions you will find answers to. What really goes on in the Walgreens corporate world? What is the truth behind the lunch break situation? Is the company truly a revolving door? Who are the pharmacists in charge and why are they in charge? What are the core values of the cruelest and the nicest pharmacists? What really happens to lazy Walgreens pharmacists? How are the behaviors of adult pharmacists similar to small children? After all, we are all just big kids.
