Pharmacies are a vital part of the healthcare system. They help local communities answer health-related questions and keep them in the best shape possible. However, it’s not just about medicine and prescriptions but also the people and the quality customer service they receive.  

Unfortunately, not all visits to the pharmacy are pleasant, and these instances down below are the proof. Scroll away to find times people left the drugstore frustrated and don’t forget to share your own experiences in the comments below.

#2 Pharmacy Stapled Receipt Through My Syringe’s Plastic Wrapping, So Now It’s Not Sterile. I Picked 4 Of These Up About A Month Ago And This Was My Last One, So I Didn’t Notice Until Today

#4 Was Told To “Use Uber” If I Wanted To Pick Up My Antibiotics From The Pharmacy I Was Standing At

This is a Walgreens in a city. I don’t have a car. Not exactly sure how to “use Uber” to sit and wait at a busy drive thru. Wish I’d known ahead I could have gotten them sent somewhere else.

#8 My Pharmacy Uses An Enormous Amount Of Plastic. I Asked Them If I Could Remove The Label And Recycle The Orange Bottles Back To Them And They Said Couldn’t Accept Them

Each pharmacy is going through thousands of these bottles a month and there are ~80,000 pharmacies in America.

#9 At My Local CVS, Pushing This Button Announces Over The Pa System To The Entire Store “A Customer Requires Assistance In The Family Planning Department”

The shelves are only about 5 feet high, so almost everyone in the store can look over them while you awkwardly wait for an employee to open the case.

#30 I Need Antibiotics And My Doctor Prescribed Them To Me To Take Two Per Day For Five Days. Only To Find Out That There Are No More Boxes With 10 Tablettes, Only 8 And That I Need Another Prescription. Opened The Box And There Are Literal Two Empty Places. I’ll Have To Get Another Box For 2 Tablettes

#31 My Birth Control Prescription Didn’t Have Any Pills Inside

How is this even possible?
It was completely sealed so it’s not like I took them out and put the empty box back in my drawer and forgot. Luckily I have 2 more boxes so I’m okay for now but this is ridiculous. I can’t understand how this could have happened.

#52 Bought Acne Patches From The Store, Opened The Package When I Got Home And It’s Empty

Went to my local CVS near a college to buy some pimple patches. I didn’t think I needed to open the box to check if there are any patches inside, so I just drove home with some other groceries and thought that was that.
Came home, took a nice shower, cleansed my face, and was ready to use this brand of patches for the first time. When I opened it, it was just empty. Nothing. Thank God the store is willing to help me get a new box when I called them about this.
Mildly infuriating that I have to go back outside in the cold to get a new box, I was so ready to unwind from work too.

#67 Went To Take The Antibiotic Prescribed To Me At The ER, And They Accidentally Gave Me 25% Of The Wrong Antibiotic

 I have a very bad jaw/throat infection, doctor sent me to ER because it’s dangerous to have an infection in that area. Did all the ER stuff, get my prescriptions and head home. I am really careful with antibiotics because I have a very bad allergy to one of them. This one is an antibiotic that I am not allergic to, Clindamycin.
So, I read the little orange attachment to the label that describes what the pill looks like “Light blue, oblong shaped capsule printed with a C and a 40”. The first pill on the top of the bottle is blue and oblong, but printed with something different. I google it quickly to make sure it’s still the same antibiotic, and was surprised to see that it is a totally different antibiotic (Doxycycline) that is used to treat STDs (among other things!) This has never happened to me. I’m guessing I should just go back to the pharmacy and they can refill it?? So weird that manufacturers would make them look so similar.
