Thanks. Repped ya. I passed this on to all my fellow ex-coworkers. We were all laid off this month.

Wow too bad they don't have one of those here. That's great they're doing that...now if only they could train their employees about qs :)

I can certainly see a plus side to their bottom line.

Patients will likely fill their prescription right there at the WAG pharmacy, and they'll gain some brand loyalty after the crisis has passed.

Just re-read it. Yep - looks like it's only for those who los their jobs after 3/30 AND are unemployment.

That stinks. What about all the people that have lost their jobs in the last 6 months.
