Grocery Chain PharmTech Embarasses Customer... US Privacy Violation?
I recently walked into a major grocery chain's pharmacy. The tech that took my prescription, looks at it and very loudly said "are you trying to lose weight?" I was so embarrassed and then told me that she was surprised because I was a male. Is that a hipaa violation?
