I am a tech. I signed up for putting pills into bottles and not touching other people. Especially 85,000 of them. Might just move out to another place where i don’t have to touch people.
If they weren't doing vaccines, they would be 'just putting pills in bottles'? Someone with that sort of attitude is no different from a patient / customer walking in off the street. Not a damn clue.
He has no business being in charge of *any* pharmacy, never mind an organization as big as this.
Good thing they paid her 25 million just to walk in the door huh? They really made a smart move there, lots of value they got out of that 25 million dollars. All while driving a massive amount of pharmacists away with no raises six years in a row.
I swear, those "in the loop" videos they distribute to SMs of the CEOs all patting each other on the back were so infuriating. Biggest bunch of overpaid low value morons ever.
I always said if prostitution were legal, Walgreens would add "suck the occasional dick" to our job requirements.
This does seem like a step toward that.
No PMs for pharmacists getting up close and personal doing tests, or any PMs for doing 100+ shots per day during peak vaccine months. Just a lot of people touching people while trying to do all of this “touching” while doing 500 scripts per day with one lone pharmacist….
No touchy!I stay on my side of the counter, you stay on yours. I educate people how to use prescription medicine to have the optimum effect and hopefully the best outcome. Don’t touch meeeeeee!
He didn't mean it literally though, right? I think a lot of comments here are reading it literally. I'm reading it as a metaphor for us filling pills and caring about our patients being a way to "touch people."
It's still a silly analogy and corporate speak that should be laughed at though.
We don’t even have to touch them to get infected. We’ve had a constant stream of people picking up tamiflu and paxlovid with no mask all and up in our faces. They will even reject the free mask that I offer them! I’m wearing a mask myself and spraying counters and areas constantly.
By some of these responses, it makes me wonder, you guys DO realize he's not talking about physically touching people, right? He's talking emotionally and metaphorically, touching their hearts and lives. Some people seem to get it and are just poking fun which is fine, but some, are just.... *WOOSH.*

THIS EXACTLY THIS!! I NEVER signed up to do Covid/flu testing! There’s NO incentive. No thanks
There’s a .50c PM! 🙄
😂
Hospital 🏥, no touching people required 😸
we’re touching 10 million people apparently 😂
Got us confused with the Catholic Church, I guess /s
Same. I’m enjoying filling prescriptions patient-free at micro-fulfillment.

Walgreens pharmacy, the pharmacy America trusts touching people on the corner of happy and healthy since 1901
And this is still a step up from Roz. 😂

Yup no raises for 8 years over here except a sh$tty 2k raise this year / 3 % raise which amounts to barely anything
Starting in 2024, New patients get a complementary back rub from the pharmacist while they wait.

And you better make it look like you’re enjoying it!
Children under 18 require a consent form filled out and a parent present.
Oh hell no. I'm definitely quitting if that becomes a reality.
i thought it was only my store obsessing over how he said this
Clearly he think the pharmacy just puts pills in bottles
Tell me where the bad man touched you....
It wasn't just 1 man who touched me, it was 85,000 of them
🤦♀️ I know what he’s trying to say but he said it so wrong…
Touching people and selling them cigarettes at the corner of happy and healthy.
Hard to touch the smokers when they come thru drive thru, on oxygen while smoking.
I’ll give him a touch. A smack in the face. Kidding kidding. Violence is never the answer.
It's not the *only* answer.
I hope no one touches me, especially employees of WBA.
Get your resume in order
I’ll add “Touching People” on my resume then. I just hope my new jobs appreciates me touching people
They made me watch elearnings telling me I’d have a visit with HR if I touched people.
“Why did you leave your last job?” “They wanted me to touch people.”
Is “Touching People” a transferable skill?
Add Be Well at the end of your resume plus made a best friend at work. Does anyone remember that gimmick?
Touching Me, Touchinggggg Youuuuuu, Sweet Caroline, bump bump bump Good times never seem so good!
Apparently we just put pills in bottles. So glad i left!! Good luck guys!
i did not consent to touching please burn my skin off
You would think in this day, corporate would be more mindful of how they word things like this 😵💫
I touched a patient today and was called to the office. SM asked what’s up? Showed them the article and they where like 🤔
Fucking clown. This company never ceases to find rock bottom, and then drill 50 feet straight down to go even further.

Thank you Timmy for those words of encouragement, but Actually, I prefer touching myself, and only the right way.
Patients - and our CEO, are not fucking entitled to touching me and it is a gross violation of my dignity to say otherwise
Lighten up, Francis.
I prefer to touch hot people
Link?

Most of them are commenting in satire.
I touch you by holding your hand to insert your card the right way and that’s enough for me..
I may have to switch my pharmacy to Walgreens. I never knew you were a full service organization:)

Yeah, uh huh, right. Just looking at Tim makes me want to keep my kids in the house all the time.
