I think the pharmacist that I'm speaking of name is Larry. Actually I'm pretty sure that's his name. I have been to Fred's on a number of occasions and have received alright or decent enough assistance when I went to the pharmacy. I only go to Fred's pharmacy when I have a medication that is not covered by my insurance because they tend to have the cheapest prices. Well the last time I went I bought my sister-in-law who had just had surgery on her foot and needed to get her medications. Because of financial problems she was unable to get all of her medications and decided that she would get half of all of them except for one that cost $500 because it would be too expensive. The pharmacist, Larry, told us that he could not fill the prescriptions because they were written all together and he could not separate it and give her just the ones she wanted. I later found out that this is indeed standard policy at most pharmacies but what got me upset was the way that he spoke to us as if we were just some drug seekers trying to get over. One of the medications that she wanted was in fact a narcotic but she had a hole in her foot the size a golf ball, now I have never had such a problem but it sure does sound painful to me, I can not even imagine the pain she must have been in. But he assumed that we were just trying to get narcotics for recreational use. I am stating this as if it were fact because I could tell that he was thinking that because of the way he spoke to us. When he asked why we could not get all the meds I told him because of financial reasons but that we would be back later that week to get the rest and he mumbled something to the extent of "...if you can't afford it now how will you afford it later this week?! When I said "excuse me sir I didn't hear what you said". When in fact I did. He responded with "nothing, I can't do nothing for you and turned away from us." I also forgot to mention when I went to talk to him he initially ignored me when I tried to get his attention by saying excuse me. He never turned his attention to me until one of the techs called his name and pointed to me and then he only glanced at me and looked away. When I decided I had stood there long enough and begin to walk off that is when he looked up at me and said. "yeah, what do you need?"
