WrongAID? or RiteAID?

Am I the only one who has been hearing complaints about RiteAid in Punxy? It seems to me that ever since they took over Eckerd there has just been one computer problem after another.

 

One reader reported to me that he was offered three prescriptions for medicine he had never heard of or taken and another time their automated refill system got the wrong prescription information from the Rx number and not only didn't have that one ready, also claimed the correct one had expired (which it won't do until next year according to the information right on their bottle.)

 

And, is their FAX machine really down? I can find one at WalMart for about $30 and I bet RiteAid itself actually sells computer printers which can act as fax machines.

 

What can you do? Well, be extremely careful about any prescriptions ordered through or picked up at RiteAid – of course there are two other pharmacies within 300 feet but who am I to suggest you do the obvious.

 

I can say that I won't have any personal experience to report on the store after my current prescriptions run out so let me know if you have problems and I can post them here, your personal news site for Punxsutawney.

Did you ever notice that teens who think they know everything are usually the same ones who don't even know how to read or speak English above a third grade level?
Perhaps they think they know everything because they don't have any idea what other people actually know- jm

Gas leases for all of West PA reach $2,500/acre

Link to a map showing the extent of the new gas fields and information:

Lease rates have recently gone from $300/acre to $2,500/acre. That does NOT include the royalties, that is just the upfront cash for the rights to drill.

WARNING- WalMart Punxy Optical - your time is their time

Just thought readers should know that I have confirmed a report from a friend about the eyeglass service at WalMart Punxsutawney.

They advertise in the store that they open at 9 a.m. so she was there at 8:30 to shop. She was at the eyeglass store at 9:00 a.m. to pick up her new glasses.

By 9:20 they still hadn't opened so she found the store manager and he phoned someone who told him that they would open at 10 a.m.

Now if your time is worth nothing that shouldn't matter to you but if you have a life outside WalMart you might want to know about the casual way these people operate the eyeglass store.

What the heck, keep 'em waiting, the're only paying customers.

BTW, their response was that it was a scheduling error.

Beware the danger of the wrong sunblock

Beware, Neutrogena is now ADVERTISING that their sunblock keeps out UVB as well as UVA..
UVB is what generates Vitamin D in your body. UVA is what you want to blockif you want to
decrease your chance of getting a fatal cancer. See the medical studies in www.newmedicineonline.com.

Just because something is advertised doesn't mean you should buy it - in fact,
a great rule of thumb is: if you need something they don't have to pay big $$ to
advertise it on TV.

Canadian study shows link with low Vitamin D and cancer deaths

A Canadian medical study of 512 women showed:
those with low Vitamin D levels were 94% more likely
to have their cancer spread and 73 per cent more likely to die.

The study is not available online or listed in PubMed yet
but I will post links as soon as they are available.
