I called a competitor for a transfer yesterday. I
laughed with the other pharmacist about our mutual coupon woes. We call for a
transfer, hand out a $30 gift card. In 30 days, the other pharmacy transfers it
back, and they hand the person another $30 gift card. I told her, "This is our
way of rewarding people for not shopping with us regularly." She laughed and
told me about a guy who asked to transfer a prescription to their pharmacy, then
went in to pick up the $30 gift card. She said, "Sir, you have to pay for the
medication, then you get the gift card." He argued with her, stating there was
nothing in the verbage of the coupon stating that he had to actually get the
medication... As it turns out, he didn't want the medication...
he was under the impression that he could just TRANSFER the medication and GET
THE GIFT CARD.
