    Default Great day at the store

    How it all began was with a mistake. I gave the pharmacist the wrong script. They always give you a $20.00 gift card when you transfer or bring in a new script so I got a gift card. So the next day I went in and told them what happened and they filled the right one...which had already been transferred. Another card. So I get home and my dear dh said I need my scripts so I called and had them filled. Off I go to the store again only to get there and they messed up the script. Had to get the right one. While I was waiting they had an elderly lady there they were trying to help and it took longer than they thought. By now my scripts were ready I got dh's two scripts which they had to transfer and got 2 more cards. After he had everything rang up in the register he handed me my bag and another card thanking me for being patient. (I didn't mind waiting) I got $100.00 in gift cards to do my grocery shopping. This store is kind of expensive but I got some good deals. All because I grabbed the wrong script in the beginning.
