Treated like a crazy person at the pharmacy.

My regular pharmacist has been really great. Always telling me what to expect from new meds. She unfortunately got breast cancer and is out. They now have traveling pharmacists so it's never the same one twice. The other morning I had to physically call to get refills. I have phone phobia, can't call people. So I managed to do it and tell her what I need. Later I go to pick up and there's only 2 out of 8. The pharmacist looks at me like I'm stupid and says she sent a text asking me which ones i needed filled and I should have responded. I told her i talked to someone that morning. The lady I talked to was there and she gets a deer in the headlight look. Pretends the phone call never happened. So they tell me give me 20 minutes. I'm so anxiety filled I can't stand it and go home. I live 15 miles from the pharmacy so it's kind of a big deal to make a trip. Half an hour AFTER closing I get a text saying 5 are ready. I need 8. So I go to the pharmacy the next day. Tell them again there should be 8. They tell me three can't be filled until the 9th. I get all of them, every month, on the same day. Why would it be different all of a sudden? They look at me like I'm crazy, once again, and she tells me they can let me pay out of pocket. Right. Like I can afford my meds out of pocket. So I go home. That's going to be 3 trips total, and they seem to think I'm crazy and a drug seeker, even though none of my meds are drugs you can abuse. I feel made fun of. I don't want to go back. I just want my old pharmacist back.
