"I have been at MedSave Family Pharmacy working on a regular basis for years. I've come a long way from when I used to dust shelves at age 10+, did deliveries in High School, and have now become accustomed to working at Data Entry. I can do pretty much anything from cleaning the bathroom to drawing blood for tests. I have the privilege of working with breastfeeding moms and their newborn infants. The best part of the job at MedSave is getting to know the customers and making them a part of my family. A perk, and yet a curse, is that I get to be a part of the "family business" with my hero, my dad." |
