At a drive thru??? You mean the ones with the huge picture windows? What the heck was the pharmacist thinking? Do people not know how to put up any fight what so ever any more?

I wonder if they take text messages too?

This doesn't make sense. Why not lock the doors and call the police?

Seriously?! The pharmacist actually handed over the drugs?! It's called, you're behind glass and a wall and a counter...dive for cover, call the cops, and warn all the other employees while running to secure the front doors! I'm sure the robber would not have given chase if he was too lazy to walk in and rob the joint!

A lot of duggies in apex lately

next year it will be some stuffy nosed guy pulling up to get some sudafed.

Please keep in mind that ANYTHING in excess is bad, people who have debilitating chronic pain, who would otherwise have no quality of life, depend on these medicatons so they can enjoy the same, and obviously pain free, life that all pain medicine detractors enjoy. If you experienced ONE MINUTE of the pain I have to endure constantly, you would sell your kids for relief. Its junkies like this guy that give these medications such a bad rap.

Hmmm... I stopped using this pharmacy lastyear because the pharmacist shorted my son's prescription for Focalin XR by 5 pills. Since that drug is a controlled substance, it was a big red flag that there was something fishy at that store.

This news story sounds ridiculous. Given our experience, I'm very suspicious of the "drive-thru robbery" story.

What more do you want Wiser_now, the guy is an addict and they will do anything to get their next fix. Drugs including prescription drugs are bad news. An addict is an addict whether it is meth or percoset, desperation hits and the mind goes crazy...

The police station is a mile away. You could have called them before the guy got away. I agree that there must be some details missing here. The pharmacist should have shut down the pharmacy, especially if s/he felt threatened.
