This is striclty adhered to (surprisingly it's the techs who are more anal about this than the pharmacists). They also clean out the fridge twice a year to remove items with a date greater than 1 week old. Signs are posted and emails sent to warn of impending cleanouts and no sympathy given to those who don't heed the warnings. I love my department!<br /><br />WV: arstri - person who makes artisanal pastries.SarahRxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-36105935679122596762011-11-19T03:33:50.909-05:002011-11-19T03:33:50.909-05:00the pharmacy has 4 fridges, 2 for drugs 2 for food...the pharmacy has 4 fridges, 2 for drugs 2 for food..( they are small fridges). Food fridge ( FF) had a bottle of coke and a bottle of water in the door. I didn't put the coke nor the water there so I didn't touch them. Nor did they move. The coke had no receipt, but the water did. I just never bothered to look at it. I finally decided to clean out the fridge and discard the dozens of receipts that littered the floor, I finally grabbed the water bottle. Dec 2008.
