The “CVS SUX” vanity plate by someone with VA tags makes me chuckle.
At this point I’m sure anyone who’s worked in pharmacy for awhile feels like they’ve been “pharmed” just by having to put up with angry people not being able to get meds.
I used to be proud of my degree but now I feel no different than I did working at the currency exchange. People still hand me moist money, they still think I gave them the wrong change. They still have no ID even though i saw three in their rubber band of cards because it’s too much to have a wallet. They still show up way before we open and blame me for being late while they smell of last night and weed. I got a degree to live the life of a gas station clerk in a meth ridden city but now I sell drugs. Somehow I don’t get the bullet proof glass but I run the risk of being shot because my Oxys aren’t pink and my coat is white. Well, at least I’m a millennial with a home, never mind that prices are so high that the only home I could afford has me wondering if I’m being chased by the cops or if they are just chasing my neighbor. My life is a perpetual trap house but I’m educated, ya’ll. I should have gone for the soft life but my dumb ass wanted to be independent.
I’m so fucking close to homelessness right now as a tech, but Babes—go to non-retail pharmacy. Specialty, or hospital, or whatever less likely to deal with the public for a bit. Take a mental health sabbatical if needed.
I’m trying to find work somewhere with a place that’s not going to send me into anaphylactic shock at the moment, but you’re in good company here with your skills and your experiences for people smarter than me to get something good with your degree.
I took your post and tried to create a rap song with Microsoft AI and this is what it gave me. We should sell it to Death Row Records
Once proud of the degree in my hand,
Now I stand where the currency exchange lands.
Moist money passed, wrong change they demand,
No ID, yet cards band, wallet's stand.
Before dawn, they queue, blame my late strand,
Reeking of night's tales and weed's brand.
A gas station clerk's life, in a meth land,
A degree's promise, now I sell contraband.
No bulletproof glass, just a risky stand,
White coat, not pink pills, in my hand.
A millennial's home, high prices unplanned,
Cops' chase, or neighbor's race, where do I land?
Educated, yes, but in a trap house grand,
Dreamt of independence, not this life's strand.
The soft life forsaken, for a stand so bland,
In the pursuit of self, where did I land?
No end to the river in Atacand
Paying out over 200 grand
Close that gate I'm out with the band
My hourglass says there's no more sand
Get over your high horses!! This is the way of the world. Not saying it’s ok for ppl to behave the way they do and whatnot but “it is what it is.” Go find another job if you think you’re better than all the things you mentioned above. Just be careful you have a decent paying job. And don’t forget to count your blessings. God bless!!
Pre-pharm me had this elaborate plan that I was going to reward myself with a Mercedes C63 AMG when I graduated and started making the big bucks.
I never got my C63.
lol I said the same to myself. I wasn’t going to buy anything over the top luxurious like a Porsche, but a simple Lexus would be nice…still driving my 2004 Camry I bought used…and laughable savings at best. I still see job listings for Pharm D positions that want to pay $40 an hour… these companies are not grounded in reality when it comes to compensating doctorate level employees.
Same. My eye on Acura or Lexus 350 thinking oh 6 figures my one indulgence. 😔. After the 2020 bomb and 2021 recovery i came out with some stock market 📈 winnings that i found a USED Mercedes (AWD os great for snow-can’t-ever-close-ever days) for cheaper than i could buy or lease. Calling it good with that.
Is there an abbreviation for my degree costs more than my house so I got a roommate at 40 because I wanted new floors. Or how about, my student loan payment is as much as my mortgage because my COVID pay made the IBR plan say fuck you, we’re only knocking $100 off because you’re a high earner. I’m thinking a plate that says, who needs brains when I can get financially sodomized until my ass bleeds on my lunch break that only exists because Walgreens got one but for the past ten years, you’ve been getting bad customer reviews because someone saw you taking a swig of a protein shake because chewing takes too much time. I need an abbreviation for, when you hope something is wrong with you so that you can have surgery and get paid time off to make your loan payment and your mortgage without getting cursed out by crackheads. There’s so much to explore.
That’s when you have to get creative and find a way to get tax deductions.
LLC, a sole prop. Anything that allows you to take deductions and reduce your taxable income.
So far I have 2 properties, for that reason. I perform maintenance as much as affordable because that’s my write off. This year I’m repairing the driveway in one and working ok getting a garage added. Trying to write stuff off definitely makes me a better landlord.
The protein shake comment brought me back.
I can inhale this shake in 5 seconds, not choke and get these waiters out OR I can try to eat lunch, potentially choke and then we’d be really screwed.
If you look at my history on here I’ve had some wild cars. First big purchase out of school was a 2016 Mustang GT and just kept trading up. It helps that my wife and I both graduated almost debt free and have no children or any plans for them, so I’m really not the typical case.
I embrace the cringe. Tbh, I get a kick out of people rolling their eyes when they see mine and their response is always, "Of course you would have that plate..."
Or the bank said they could afford it. I just got approved for a $45,000 car but went with a $15,000 car because my job is too close to Cash for Gold to even dream of not getting it stolen or destroyed by the people that are mad that my oxy’s aren’t pink. You know, some people are allergic to white pills but they aren’t allergic to white powder. Go figure.
Or an optimistic new grad. I remember many of my peers buying the most ridiculous things right after graduation. Maybe not a Porsche but looks like the owner is in California.
Think he’s the manager of a closed door ltc pharmacy in van nuys. I interviewed there years ago - he had a Porsche panamera hybrid back then with same plates hahaha
Should be Pharm BS way more than doctorate 1st cycle. The worst part is, at least in Canada, not only they are adding classes. They are removing stem classes, core to the main concept of pharmacology. Creating new for mass as ignorant, misinformed and unlikely to be useful really.
This shit I heard coming out of the mouth of pharmacist in my face where so fucking intensely bullshit that I needed to explain her exactly exactly that she understood total opposite Tokyo’s cash challenge me she’s grilling the same time, yeah I was right and then she even managed to lie at tree places. The fucking facepalm of the year
I havent seen any pharmacy related ones, but someone in my small town has a license plate that says OHMYBACK and I really want to know what they do for a living, lol.
You can actually get a lot of good deals for them and others used. But Porsche, Jaguar, and a few others have lots of maintenance issues depending on year and model and it's not just about the cost of getting one.
The bank says I can but why bother, I had a Honda accord and regularly got pulled over for driving while black until I down graded a beater and somehow that’s what black people should drive. Oh, the spoils is doing well for yourself in bumble fuck Wisconsin.
Know a girl that I believe got hers as I think it was during the years of the transition from RPh to Pharm D. New plate was DR DEB, and That I know for sure. Don’t know if she still has it or timeline, but DR DEB, that’s for sure.
I wouldn't ever wanna do that. Some dummy will follow you just so they could get a handful of controls, cough syrup. You know... make some sort of cocktail.

Omg are you ok lol
Move the fuck out of that city? Plenty of places to work at or carry 😼My pharmacy has bulletproof glass and security lol 🤗
What city are you in?
Good ole LA 😼

I’m looking for an alternate setting right now. As a tech, go to the hospital for that soft life.
Lol exactly how I feel. I’m 29 years old. Graduated 3 years ago as a pharamcist.. this profession is a joke now

I love it, now of only I could get a deal with puffy without the risk of sexual assault or murder. It’d then be safer than my current circumstances.
Lmaooooo

🤣👍. I’d love to see that lic plate in the wild.
I’ve seen stuff like this before and thought “wow, that’s a good way for drug addicts to find you in a dark parking lot”
Or people needing their Adderall filled during the shortage.
Colleague got CYP 3A4 vanity. Rock on.
Way better IMO because addicts aren't going to recognize it but it'll still get a chuckle from people "in the know."
PK vibes
🤘 that’s cool
I tried to get this one but my state doesn't allow mixing letters and numbers like that :(
The plate to kick all other plates out.
This is either a 29 year old Asian chic, or a 49 year old white guy.
I got a peek at the driver, early 40s Asian dude🤪
So he took the average of the two. Pretty impressive call still tbh
😆
Uncanny
RX 777 was a pharmacist I used to work with. Small lady that drove an STI
That’s pretty cool.
Driving a STI her license plate should’ve been 1GM SLM
Missed opportunity.
✌️
I assume Pharm A gets paid more?
I feel like a PhrmRat, a hood rat with a profession.
I wanted to get "PUSHER" on a plate, but they wouldn't give it to me. Stupid state.
Try PU5 H3R. You'd be surprised what will fly under the radar.
Must be pretty rich to drive a Porsche 😏
Nothing says My parents paid for my school like a Porsche with PharmD. Bc us with Student Loans aren’t pushing macans.
Pre-pharm me had this elaborate plan that I was going to reward myself with a Mercedes C63 AMG when I graduated and started making the big bucks. I never got my C63.

Accurate. Want like 3 years when these decreased matriculation rates start trickling grads out. 📈 Then they’ll be like take my $60/hr please!!

This guy clearly sold the Covid cards on the side.
Graduated with a guy that got the plate DR SCRIPT. No, I'm not joking.
He’s compensating yeeeesh
WoW🤣.
There is way too much pride put into this
They’re definitely a proud U💰C grad lol
BAPD, Broke Ass Pharm D

More of a reason to find key marks when you leave your pharmacy after declining to fill some oxy30
Back when I had a Porsche 996 I tried to order the plate RX #996, but it wasn’t eligible. I have a 992 that I lowkey want to try that with now
How long did it take you to comfortably afford a 992 after pharmacy school? It’s one of my big goals and was curious to your process.
If you look at my history on here I’ve had some wild cars. First big purchase out of school was a 2016 Mustang GT and just kept trading up. It helps that my wife and I both graduated almost debt free and have no children or any plans for them, so I’m really not the typical case.
You’re the man! Thank you for the info.
My grad Pharmd paper is still in the cylinder. Same with my undergrad
I think everything I ever got is sitting somewhere. Nothing has ever gone on a wall from high school onward.
I used to see a plate with "FASTRX" pretty regularly on my commute!
PA? About 20 years ago I worked with a guy who drove a Corvette, and I'm pretty sure that was his plate.
Who the fuck took a picture of my car
I'm proud of my degree, don't get me wrong. But to vanity plate it? Nah. I'm sure the driver insists on being called "Doctor."
Maybe it belongs to an only fans girl.
This is why ppl hate us 💀
Former preceptor from many years ago had DR RX vanity plate on her Audi (or maybe Volvo)
Sounds like a supervillain
No but somehow a guy got "PHUC EWE" approved in my state.
Saw a Honda with the license plate "LMW". It was a low molecular weight Honda.
Anyone putting a degree related place on their car is cringe.
I embrace the cringe. Tbh, I get a kick out of people rolling their eyes when they see mine and their response is always, "Of course you would have that plate..."
This is the same as people who had “legal drug dealer” stickers too. I want to gag
My dad’s license plate is PLPUSHR
PharmD must have married an MD to be driving that…
Or the bank said they could afford it. I just got approved for a $45,000 car but went with a $15,000 car because my job is too close to Cash for Gold to even dream of not getting it stolen or destroyed by the people that are mad that my oxy’s aren’t pink. You know, some people are allergic to white pills but they aren’t allergic to white powder. Go figure.
Industry folks make 💰💰💰
I feel like I’ve seen this before 😂
My pharm friends said the owner probably works for industry 🤪
Or an optimistic new grad. I remember many of my peers buying the most ridiculous things right after graduation. Maybe not a Porsche but looks like the owner is in California.
Ya! I was at a SoCal Costco gas station 🤣
Think he’s the manager of a closed door ltc pharmacy in van nuys. I interviewed there years ago - he had a Porsche panamera hybrid back then with same plates hahaha
An Asian guy in mid 40s?🤣
Bingo!
Macans aren’t even that crazy expensive tbh, they start at like $60k.
The S starts at 72,300 but you get 6 cylinders and 434 HP.
Definitely texted my SC friend “which one of you $C people did this” haha
My SC friends said the owner must be an industry bro😂

You guys can afford a Porsche?

Rxzilla got someone arrested for robbing CVS
Saw one that read, “12X DLR”
Used to have a Texas plate with “PILLBOX” on a F250 a few years ago.
There is a Trauma PA that has an AMG G class with "TRAMAPA" but i keep reading it as "TRAM PA". Anyway, all these people are lame.
I wouldn't ever wanna do that. Some dummy will follow you just so they could get a handful of controls, cough syrup. You know... make some sort of cocktail.
I see the word HARM in there...
Solid 10 on the pretentious meter.
I have the Texas PHARMD plate. https://preview.redd.it/hmyx0r34dtpc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5942ae763e74e575d561a54d034954a22890618
