I'm kinda embarrassed, I'm at my pharmacy so much for psych meds they know me by name. At least they are super friendly.
Thanks for this!

Yes. I've been going to this pharmacy (located in my pdoc office) for like ten years now. I go up to the window and they don't even have to ask. They just grab my scripts lol

They know me, but the pharmacist is one of my former students.

It seems to help with everybody else that I don't get upset like some do if the meds aren't ready. I'm "the nice guy".

!!! Wha?? But you are young!
I WISH for mine to be remembered so as to not actually have to say it out loud!

They pretty much know me, yup. One of them even rides the same bus to work. Well, the one I aim to catch so as only to be a little late. Soooo, usually not.

But back to recognition, visually, yes, by all. By name (or part of), nearly all. It's a small place, but some recent staff changes. They'll figure it out soon enough. As long as I don't have to say my birthday out loud, it's all good.

Haha yep. But I have to get mine weekly and have been going to this particular one for 3 years so would be surprised if they didn't know me by now!

Yes but to be fair I take several non-psych meds as well.

Most of those who work there know me but the two new assistants don't. I used to go monthly now I just go once every three months.

They all know me because I am there so often, plus the fact that they know what my meds are for so they got really scared when I yelled at them for screwing up my meds again. They screw up a lot where I go but I get hundreds of dollars in free merchandise for everything I buy there.

Yes they know me by name. They recently said, you're doing so much better than you were when you first started coming here. That was 5 yrs ago and I was a paranoid mess...
Thanks for this!

Except for a couple of newer folks, everyone at my pharmacy knows my name AND my son's name.
