Hi, Everyone!👋
So… it has come to our attention that our last couple of social media posts about our new robot have given folks the impression that we were adding some sort of animatronic robot pharmacist to our arsenal.
As cool and as scary as that sounds, that is not what happened here. The new robot that we got is much like the old robot that we had. You know that thing with the big googly eyes that sat in the back? Essentially, it’s a metal box, with robotic arms (on the inside) that counts, and puts pills into bottles for us. It will not be replacing Joe, or giving medical advice, or taking over the pharmacy, or the world. It doesn’t actually even have external arms, legs, or a head.
You see, we thought it would be humorous to make an Ai photo of the robot just casually strolling into the pharmacy for work one day. So, that’s exactly what we did. But, in reality, it was not nearly that easy. It was actually quite the project to get the new robot where it needed to go as the way the old robot came in was no longer an option. Because of that, the pharmacy counter had to be removed, and part of the wall above the pharmacy had to be taken out in order to gain enough clearance for the new machine.
The team at Garman Construction and Concrete were absolutely instrumental in making this project go as smooth as possible, with as little impact on what we do as possible. They got everything torn apart, and out of the way quickly. Then, they got everything back together in record time with almost no trace of them even being there. They even helped with moving the robot, which was definitely not in their scope of work on this project. But, may not have happened successfully without them. We cannot thank you guys enough for all of your help, hard work, and minimal backsass (looking at you, Cale).
In closing, this thing is a lot like the last thing. Hopefully better. It’s not replacing anyone. It’s not changing us, or what we do. We are still here for you. To listen to you. To advise you. To help in any way that we can. As only we humans can. We thank you all for supporting this little family business that Gib started almost 85 years ago. And, we apologize for any confusion that our cheeky posts may have caused. Take care, everyone!✌️😘
