Pharmacy fun times

I finally completed my residency and so am all finished and ready to get a job.  unfortunately, Bruno's corporation filed bankrupcy and closed most of the Bruno's and Foodworld pharmacies in the area, flooding the market with hungry pharmacists just before I finished.  Murphy's Law strikes again.

 I interviewed with CVS for a pharmacist position.  The District Manager told me during the interview "I don't need a pharmacist, I don't want to hire a pharmacist."  He told me he wanted salesmen to push the "up-sale" at the register, referring specifically to the sale on Gummy-Worms"

I didn't go to school for 8 years to PUSH sales on patients, especially sugary snacks when diabetes is on the rise.  I suppose it is no suprise where CVS' priorities are!

That being said, I agreed to do so since I need a job, though I guess I was not convincing enough since I did not receive a call back.  

All likely worked out for the best though, I have an interview with a home infusion pharmacy this week, which is much more in line with what I want to be doing.  And I have to admit I have (mosthly) enjoyed the unplanned vacation.
