tried to get a covid booster
I made an appointment this morning for myself and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude to get covid booster vaccines this afternoon, at a CVS drugstore. When we got there, the pharmacy clerk apologetically said they were out of the vaccine, and that the website shouldn't have offered us that appointment.
He also said that three other CVS's in the area had the vaccine in stock, if we wanted to go somewhere else. At that point, Cattitude decided not to try again, but to run other errands (post office and grocery store), and I used the CVS app to make an appointment at a CVS a few bus stops away.
The pharmacist there also told me that they had run out of the vaccine, and apparently their computers aren't good at updating the inventory information. I thanked him, and went across the street to Otto's, and bought a slice of pizza for a snack. I then discovered that the second appointment had been cancelled ten minutes after I made it, but they hadn't sent me a text, which I would have seen in time to go straight home instead of getting on the bus.
Since I bought a bottle of rubbing alcohol, CVS sent me an automated "tell us how we did" message. I took the opportunity to complain about the repeated bad scheduling. The system then asked if I would like to write a Google review. Yes, I would, please do connect me to a place where I can warn everyone about how badly you're handling scheduling. Two stars out of five, if you must go there for a vaccine don't even bother making an appointment.
I got the pizza partly to check whether I could comfortably pick up a slice of pizza in my hands and eat it. Basically, yes, though I didn't try the chewy part of the crust.
