A letter I just sent to Target
Aug. 11th, 2005 04:35 pmMy pharmacist's name tag only shows a first name [omitted in LJ]. This is unacceptable.
A pharmacist works for many long years and spends ludicrous amounts of tuition money in order to become a doctor. A pharmacist is an expert medical professional who has earned the title "Doctor" as a mark of respect.
A pharmacist working at a Target pharmacy simply must have a name tag that reads "Dr. ___________". I don't care if the tag says "Dr. Smith" or "Dr. Karen Smith", but a pharmacist is a doctor and deserves to be addressed as such.
Target guests deserve to be able to tell the difference between a pharmacy technician and a pharmacist, too.
I am absolutely horrified by this situation and I hope that you will instruct your store managers to make new name tags for your pharmacists.
