starschmucks and flu shots

Did you know that having a starbucks kiosk 8 feet in front of your pharmacy will drive you batshit, almost immediately, everyday? Anyway, my rant subject of the day is flu shots. One of our pharmacists is trained to administer immunizations. So we start asking, last flu season, how are we going to do flu shots? Clinic style, by appointment, what. So the corporate morons can't decide on anything until October, when the vaccines are in the fridge and the old people are on the phone asking "when are they? " The morons decide that with 8 extra tech hours a week for 4 weeks, we should be able to do 250 flu shots. No extra pharmacist hours, he'll have to use his regular hours,HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! In a pigs eye. It seems to me if you are going to run a large department of a large corporation, you should have some clue what goes on in the everyday operations so that you don't make completely stupid decisions everyday. But thats another rant. So anyway, we have flu shots scheduled everyday that this pharmacist works, and only when there is another pharmacist also on duty, so that someone is still available to do the regular work. The freaking shots are stretched out clear to December. And the customers are pissed off too. I wish I could give them the corporate morons personal phone numbers so they can call and tell them how they feel. If we are doing flu shots again next year I am taking the entire month of October off. Maybe I'll just sit at starschmucks and watch while everyone goes postal.
