Reflections

Members are asked to take a few minutes and jot down some thoughts and share sentimental, funny, historical and reflective memories while working for Osco Drug and Sav-on Drugs. We’d love to hear from managers, pharmacists, clerks and others. Experiences and observations during your career in the retail industry can be intriguing and are nostalgic to read. We all have those memories… a career experience, a customer interaction, a mentor, a protégé, etc.

Please email your recollections to Barbara Salerno at oscosavonalumni@yahoo.com
