Hmm, I recently had to deal with switching pharmacies (in the US) mid-prescription and I didn’t really have any trouble. Went from CVS to a family owned shop.

People on lemmy are often polarized between “the problem is all the democrats” or “the problem is the voters”. I think both are to blame. There are definitely more voters than democrats though.
Outliers exist, yes.
Right, you can only blame groups that are smaller than others.
They only have to wake up tomorrow, pluck the lowest hanging fruit and never shut up about it for 10 years and the GOP would crumble.
Except this only works on right wing morons
Someday I’m gonna check out NixOS
Most prescriptions aren’t on paper anymore though. I have heard that Japan (a very tech savvy country) is actually worse than us with checks and faxes and certain other low/old tech solutions. Not sure if that is true but either way I don’t think the US is unique in this stuff.
I have had somewhat similar experiences at times, but not as bad as yours I think. My worst one was this woman who kept claiming to almost have arrived as I stood outside in below-freezing temperatures for over 20 minutes to give her free stuff.
Finally left the item on the sidewalk and went inside. 40 minutes later she sent a text thanking me for it. I don’t understand why she lied over and over about her location. So stupid and inconsiderate.
That is some brazen shit.
For every good use, there are 100 bad uses
Black Mirror ain’t got shit on reality. If anything they undersold how fucked up things can get.
You got me! Nice avatar, btw.
Maybe I just tune out the high prices, but I don’t notice as much of that
There’s no “preset range”, but I would agree that if something is worth anywhere near $300, an offer of $20 is akin to saying “come on stranger, I want this for free”
Then it would seem you are not like the person I’m taking issue with.
probably
Based on… ? My experience indicates more of an issue with people basically wanting free stuff. I had a woman once haggle me over a refurbished in-box phone that sold new for $600 at the time. $100 (which she already had agreed to) was worth haggling over. Like do you want it for free?
I once had some dude offer me $2K under blue book for a car and then taunt me when I told him it wasn’t a serious offer. “yeah right like you’re ever going to get that for it” he said. Got that price within a week and since I’m petty sometimes, I let him know
Of course I’m not saying I’m the arbiter of popularity. Comment sections are for sharing personal experience or opinion. I hadn’t heard of it so I said that.
I will say I’ve at least heard of most popular things, but that’s clearly not an absolute fact
Yeah, we can.
