Letter to the Editor

Editor:

I was reading the 'Letters to the Editor' column of last week's paper and I certainly agree with Rachael Lehmberg when she asked 'Where is the outrage' concerning our long gone pharmacy. I absolutely loved the convenience of it, the friendly and always available help, the candy counter and the fact that these wonderful people would deliver your prescription to your door. I was more than outraged when it closed its doors for the last time. I was devastated.

Now we are offered the services of CVS which is certainly not built around a senior's abilities. Everything is done by computer and you can't get a human to talk to, so if you have a complaint, too bad. The prescriptions are filled automatically, whether you like it or not, and they SAY that they will deliver; however, in my case, the computer told me that they can't deliver to my house because I have the wrong insurance. What? And if you try to get a human to talk to on the phone, you are put on hold until you fall asleep.

Whatever the reason for our little pharmacy's closing, I am sure I am not alone in mourning our loss. Oh, and also outraged, that's for sure!
