2. Just spent 15 frustrating minutes on phone with pharmacy AI idiocy
Thu May 14, 2026, 01:12 PM
Thursday

I am over 70 so time at my age is no longer unlimited. I am computer functional and internet proficient, unlike the person who programmed the limited responses of the AI the pharmacy uses to prevent me from speaking to a person on a basic refill topic evidently above the AI phone service's pay grade and level of programming.

I have a doctor's appointment in an hour and she will NOT be happy with my blood pressure after the time I spent going in AI circles with a dipshit program that saves corporation money on payroll while making a basic service impossible.

There is no pharmacy alternative in my town that does not use stupid AI phone answering program that cannot be bypassed.

I used to like computers a lot. Now, with the all encompassing greed of corporations who hire half-assed IT people, I am considering life in a cave with no internet.
