You might not know this about me, but I'm obsessed with Target.
(I'll pause while you all absorb that shocking revelation.)
Another fun fact is that I have to take medication every day to stay alive, in addition to the other medications I take every day just 'cause. As a result, I frequent the pharmacy A LOT.
Yet, despite the terrible service and anti-social staff at my local grocery story pharmacy, I only recently made the connection that I could combine my love of Target with my prescription needs. And so it was with great glee that I switched my pharmacy to my local Super Target.
You might think I've been pleasantly surprised by the service, and you'd be wrong. The service is so freakafantastabulous that my quality of life has been improved tenfold.
First, the staff is nice. Like, I think they might actually like their jobs, rather than my other pharmacists who probably stole narcotics to make it through the day. They are fast, friendly and informed. And they're happy to fill the prescription while you're waiting. With a smile. I think it has something to do with the lighting.
Second, the bottles are cool. They have this cool inverted design and color rings you can request to help differentiate between your myriad of medicines. Miss Dub recently had an ear infection and got a liquid prescription, which has a small opening that you insert the syringe into so there's no mess or awkward measuring.
Third, I have no third, but I just really, really like Target. Although, I must confess that I said to my friend the other day, "I think I'm getting bored of Target." And it's not that I want a new lover or anything, it's just that I need a second refuge from the cold and snow when the Miss and I get bored. I mean, I think I've bought every piece of costume jewelry on their clearance rack by now.
But I digress.
The moral of this story is that you should change your pharmacy to Target. Don't have any prescriptions right now? Go lick some dirt or infect a small wound. It's worth it.
p.s. I just got a call from the pharmacy asking how Miss Dub is feeling. Bonus points!

just don't go there when you are 8 months pregnant and suffering horrible pain from massive kidney stones - the Target Pharmacist accused me of being a druggy and wouldn't give me my pain meds...I with all my prego hormones told the kind lady pharmacist what she could do with my pain meds and transfered to another pharmacy.(I made her cry) see in my life before becoming a domestic goddess I was a pharmacy tech and I know a bit about drug etiquette and how to treat customers and this pharmacist was lacking! I actually baned the store for a while, but I really can't live with out target and maybe after I am over the horror of being called a pregnant drug addict I will come back to Target pharmacy...I DO love their bottles. I mean who wouldn't want a red bottle with a cool colored ring?!?!? Maybe if I went to a different Target pharmacy....
Because prescriptions and Choxie can solve most maladies. This I swear.
I hope Miss Dub is feeling better too.
our target pharmacists are nice, but the pharmacy is almost always super crowded so service is slow. which equals lot of time to find things to buy which equals an expensive prescription. anyway, i do love their bottles - easy to measure, and i can tell at a glance who each rx belongs to. love it. hope miss dub is better. my ruby took two rx before she beat her ear infection. yuck.
I frequent the beloved Target RX quite a lot, too - and they are THE BEST! (big surprise, right?) I, too love their bottles AND that they will check you out with all your cart's contents at their register - LOVE those people more than words. Think I'll head there today and pick up my soda and popcorn for $1 while I'm at it.
I love my Target Pharmacy, too.
i wish i had a closer super target. but it's too far away and walgreens is two blocks away and has drive-through service.
i myself have worked for target before. not in the parmacy departmet, besides pitching in a couple times for them by getting prescriptions for customers, but you get the point. i enjoyed it myself.
i even worked in guest services and it was hilarious to see how upset people would get over our return policy. (ok it's a little harsh, but there are so many options to help you find your purshcase!) but i also cheated legally a few times to help people out.
I love the Target pharmacy!!! It also gives me an excuse to go to Target. I also have a daily medication that I will take for the rest of my life and I was almost sad that my last Dr. gave me 90 pills instead of 30.
Those bottles are amazing! Almost makes me want to get sick. Okay, not really.
But I do have to agree with Mel... I love a drive-thru pharmacy. It's getting harder to shop now that I have three kids in tow.
Wow I've never had a good experience at Target Pharmacy on Howard. However I do love the staff at Dominicks on Green Bay.
I love Target too. I really love your obsession with the place. I used to say that I am a walking Target ad because all mine and my child's clothes come from there. So fun...glad the pharmacy didn't disappoint.
I brought a bottle from Target to switch a prescription from there to somewhere else, to get some money for changing stores. The pharmacists actually laughed at the bottle!! I was so embarrassed, it's not like I invented the bottle myself.
I didn't even know that Target had a pharmacy! I know...embarrassing to admit. I usually only get one or two prescriptions filled per year for the random ear infection and what not. I'll have to try Target sometime. But when you have a sick child, the drive through is oh-so appealing!
Are you sure you don't work for Target??
I haven't tried T's pharmacy but your account does make it sound appealing. As long as people go anywhere besides Walmart, it's fine with me!
I agree that the only thing that would make the Target pharmacy better would be a drive-through. I use the Smith's pharmacy near my house just for the fact that they have a drive-through. I sometimes fantasize about asking the pharmacist to please grab a gallon of milk for me while I'm there, but I don't think it would fit in the tube...
We too found out the wonderfulness of the Target pharmacy about two years ago. I love the colored rings!! And really, with all the meds we have in our family it was nice to look at a bottle that was a vibrant red other than the standard poop brown. Alas, we had to move, and now Target is not close enough to use them for our pharmacy--I miss them.
Hi. I just discovered your blog! I love your honesty!
I am so tempted to switch pharmacies now! The bright colors are very alluring.
Feel sad for me. My nearest Target is 2 1/2 hours away.
Boooo!! Hissss!
Oh ya, but thank heavens for www.target.com, am I right, folks?
ok.
poor beckie! I wish I had some meds to take and pick up (not really!) but just so I could check out those cute med bottles. Yes, I have serious "sucker for marketing/packaging" issues.
I also have an obsession with Target. I love to go to the end of the isles and see what is on clearance. I lived in a town that didn't have a Target. I had Target withdrawl. My friends think I am a loon. I was so happy when we moved back to Target town. I have donated lots of money to our local school with my Target Visa. Ok I will stop now I could go on and on though.

I forgot to say thank you Miss Dub. I feel better knowing I am not alone in my love of Target.

It does seem we have alot in common. I had preeclampsia with my first daughter who was born premature and very small too. It is a very nasty thing. She didn't have very many problems and is perfect and healthy. Yes the pain is hard but I too am at peace. I know I will see my girls again. It was the hardest thing to ever go through but I would do it agian to have the experience that I have. So many things came from it. No, I would never want anyone to go through it but I am glad I did. I am glad you posted on my site and I will definantly have to check up on you.I promise with time it does get a little better. I agree with you it will never heal but it does get better.
Target also offers five dollar prescriptions!
I, like you, am a newcomer to the Target Pharmacy but I have fallen in love with the inverted bottle with the hole and syringe combo. It has never been easier to give Lincoln his medicine and I don't have to waste the stuff at the bottom of the bottle because I can't reach it!! God Bless Target!
I love Target as well. Aren't they owned by the French or something?? I just remember when people were boycotting french fries and such, that Target was brought up.
Now, does anybody ever go natural or homeopathic? Are we just a world of DRUGS??
Another HTT?
Okay, WHAT???? I'm so sad that you have been missing out all this time! Our pharmacy is SO nice (and if they are slow I am forced to shop longer...the horror!) Our family has just about every color ring they offer and the neat insert lids that let you invert them for filling syringes for kids is fan-freaking-tastic. Welcome home sister, welcome home!
