From the What’s Happening in Paulding County Facebook page: need to site better stories and other pages
Sheri Kennedy Wickline originally from California “I want to make you all aware of the very RUDE, NASTY pharmacy manager at the Rome Walmart! I had taken my prescription to the pharmacy week ago. They told me it would be next Tuesday, it would be ready to pick up. Well they made a mistake ordering and my RX got put on hold! I asked…. was someone going to call me? Pharmacy reply..that not my job! She raises her voice at me and said that I was to call before coming to the store! I was a bit miffed but replied…I can’t go shopping and stop by to see if it was ready to pick up? As I was talking everyone was talking over me which made me raise my voice. The pharmacist hollers at me and said…I’m giving you back your RX and told me to find and other pharmacies! She said I was disrupting HER business 3 time in a loud voice over her counter and she said she will never fill my RX!!! This was there fault that they can’t fill RX correctly. I went to the manager and she when went to the pharmacist and she came back to said she was sorry but she refuses to fill my RX. PLEASE BEWARE this pharmacist. She used her privilege to refuse serving me because of there mistake! Just a side note.. everyone in the pharmacy was in shock! So was I!!!”
These are your responses from actual Paulding County citizens - as reported on What's Happening Paulding County
Sean Spratt from Cartersville “Makes sense to post all of this here where nothing can be accomplished except getting your anger validated vs just contacting Walmart to see if your Rx issue can be resolved.”
Sherry Thompson Hullett from Temple “If you have her name call Walmart’s corporate office and report her.”
Chani Ford from Atlanta “It's not her pharmacy, for one. Leave negative reviews and file a complaint with BBB
You can also file a complaint with corporate. There is plenty you can do, it just takes a little work”
Gail Oneal from Bowdon “You people are so ridiculous.
Your comments are so immature.”
From the moms of Paulding, Georgia Facebook page:
Jenna Viehmeyer originally from New Jersey “Hey mamas! Does anyone know if the Paulding PD or FD can help moms with getting a car seat? Im 4 weeks away from my scheduled C-section & hubs and I have honestly been struggling to get everything we need for this baby given the fact weve got two toddlers growing like weeds already at home, and the cost of everything going up by the month it feels like; and the car seat has been the biggest of my worries cause its one of the 'big purchases' we need to get. When we lived down south the PD got us set up with one for my oldest as hers was in an accident, so I was curious to know if paulding offers it anywhere. Thanks in advance everyone!”
Others commented:
Krista Jennifer Cotton from Hiram “I have an infant car seat with no base”
Rachel Bassett from Dallas “Please make sure if you accept a car seat from somebody or purchase one from somebody that it is not expired “
Jennifer Andrew from Hiram “I don't believe most PD or FD departments do car seat checks anymore unless they have a staff member who is CPST certified. Otherwise, it's a huge liability for them if the install is incorrect.
You could check here to find a CPST near you.
Kayla Danielle Reagin from Dallas “I believe the GA state patrol office can help or at least they do in Bartow County. My scheduled c section is October 31st so I'm a little behind too and still haven't done it. Walmart does have one for around $60 if all else fails.”
