Our small town Wal-Mart doesn't do that.
There is a person at the door in case the buzzer is activated but I have never been asked to show a receipt unless the buzzer has gone off.
Depends where you live? Small town big city? sm
Hospital billing? Clinic billing?
$2.09 in small-town NE. Seems to have hit a standstill :(

I live in a very small town...
and it is so scary to think about all of this, even here. Just 30 minutes away from us this week they put several schools on lock down because there was a "fugitive" on the run. As the other poster said, it is such a scary time when we cannot even feel safe sending our kids to school. I thought living in a small town would be better, but the Amish community issue has quickly changed my mind of that.
Are they in a really small town in Georgia?

Sounds like my small town!
Except we actually have 2 choices, cable internet and then Embarq. Embarq is the only choice we have for phone service.
I got fed up with the cable service and switched a few months ago to Embarq, it has not gone out one single time. I am extremely pleased I switched.
I'm not in CR, I'm in a small south central town. nm

Mine doesn't either, and they are not small town, any of them. nm

I wouldn't worry about it, unless you work in a small town.
I can't see any big hospitals or doctor's offices going back to that.
I live in a small Southern town and they have posted pictures of sm
people convicted of passing bad checks in the newspaper. How humiliating would that be?
By posting the bad checks, they see your name, but by posting your picture, they could recognize who you are.
Opinions please! I have been asked by a small rural hospital to do their overflow. SM
It is clinic notes that are pretty easy to type. Some of the work is digital and some is still on tapes. They want me to come in and pick up tapes, and they want me to print and deliver reports when I pick up the tapes because they don't know much about setting up a remote printer. I made an introductory offer of 12 cpl for the first month and then 15 cpl if we both feel like continuing to work together. I felt that since I am going to be out the cost of gas and ink, my offer was more than reasonable. Well, they countered with a flat 12 cpl period with a one year contract and then we reevaluate at that time. While I was mulling that over, she called back and asked if I would be interested in doing some radiology for them in addition to the clinic work. So basically this account will keep me very busy and is not going to be just overflow.
So now I'm back to thinking 15 cpl and because they balking, not offering the introductory rate anymore.
What does everyone think?
Allegiant has clinic accounts and is busy, busy, busy
If you're an IC and are looking for plenty of work, freedom to set your own hours, low daily line requirement (500), great supervisors, and easy clinic accounts, then Allegiant may be the right company for you. You can apply by going to www.allegianttranscription.com.
Allegiant's pay scale is 7 cpl also, but would you rather get 7 cpl and easily transcribe 250 lph or get 10 cpl and struggle to do 150 lph. Give me 7 cpl any day and spare me the headache.
That's good! Have used it myself on occasion sm
Another time I said I was on top secret governmental business. Haven't been asked anymore. 
What is the occasion, how many people...
and does it have to be a crockpot? When I think of Italian cooking I don't typically think "crockpot". I have a ton of recipe sites plus my own so just trying to help.
Depends on what kind of hospital? Large urban hospital or small community hospital? SM
Also, is it a large teaching hospital? If so you have to consider there will be A LOT of different residents dictating, usually a lot of ESLs at teaching hospitals, and the residents rotate out and new ones rotate in every summer. So you can't expect to get the same dictators and build up your macros because the dictators change all the time.
I would say 9 cpl would be a pretty good offer for a small to medium community hospital where you will be doing the same dictators on a daily basis. But for bigger, urban or teaching hospitals I would want at least 12 to 15 cpl.
My mother-in-law got me a box of all occasion cards for Christmas.
I take it that was a hint, although why I should have to remember everyone else when none of them remembers me is beyond my comprehension. Her son can remember to buy gifts for his whole family. My family doesn't do stuff like that. We maybe send a card or call each other, but no gifts and parties are expected for adult relatives.
I've been called DIRECT on more than one occasion
and they DIDN'T mean it as a compliment. Hah!
I had an occasion to personally ask a weight loss physician...
about all these cortisol products on the market. She said FORGET IT. It's a waste of money. If you read the bottle, they all say that you must follow a sensible diet and exercise regime. In my belief, you'll lose weight without the pills if you watch what you eat and exercise. I've lost 8 pounds since January 1. No pills, no special diet food, no membership fees, nothing. I try to eat food that comes in the form that mother nature provided. No white bread, pasta, or rice. All brown forms of those foods. Lots of salads, vegetables, fruits, lean meats. No cakes, cookies, pies, or other such junk. I have some occasional fat-free candy like Mike N Ike just to keep my sweet tooth happy. It's working. Slowly, but it's working.
Harry and David does NICE gift baskets for any occasion
I adore getting gift baskets myself!
she was too busy for you the way you are often too busy for her...what's the question? nm

small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.
Maybe in their town.
I can' t say but I can tell you with line rates and incentive pay, I make over 65K at the medical center where I transcribe, located in Nebraska.
Not in my town.
The patient sitters at the local hospital here are not licensed personnel, not even CNAs. Generally, a high school diploma and short orientation with CPR is all that is required as far as training or credentials. Also, the usual pre-employment stuff is required--drug testing, preemployment physical, etc. It also pays less than $10 per hour.
We have those names in our town too.

Anyone going out of town tomorrow?
I'm going to Cincinnati 2C my sisters! Yikes! Wish me luck...
We have a place like that in town. sm
It's a teeny little grocery store and their prices used to be off the wall because they were owned by a big grocer (IGA). I never shopped there for anything but meat as it is cut right at the store while you wait or it's fresh in the cooler.
When big Wally World decided to build the Superstore the teeny grocery store decided to buy out from IGA and named it their own market. The prices there now are even cheaper than Wally World and I no longer shop anywhere else. What used to cost $75.00 at the local market costs about $30 because they got rid of the "middle man."
They had to save themselves and they did. I can actually walk there if need be and sometimes I should as the teeny parking lot is usually packed full. The checkout girl (or girls if it's busy) don't wear name tags because we know them. They go to school with our kids. It's like, "Hi Megan, still playing soccer?"
Good for them. 
mt seminar in my town
There is a seminar about MT in my town tonight and I wanted to go to see what lies they probably are telling. My son's first ball practice is at the same time. I would love to hear what they are saying up there tonight. Most embelish our wages and it is a shame.
Hospitals in town
I hear sometimes that there are still hospitals doing their dictations with their own transcriptionists, and I'm lucky that I found one through their website... but wondering, just how do you find out who does the hospitals in your city? No one ever advertises in the newspapers anymore and most hospital websites have nothing about transcription. I live in a pretty big city with lots of hospitals and clinics and outpatient surgeries. Surely they're not all outsourced to the Big Greedies.
We have a huge 4 day celebration in our little town
There is something going on from tonight right through until the fireworks on the 4th. There is a street dance, a bean hole bean supper, a lobster bake and just tons of stuff going on.
Our town is only population 7500, but the celebration has grown to over 30,000 attendees for the 2 hour parade, followed by fun, games, entertainment and music in the park and then fireworks that start at 9:00 and last for hours. It's great fun!
I'm lucky too. I live just a mile from the festivities, so I'm home for a long time while people are still waiting in traffic. The traffic goes smoothly though. The events have always been very well organized with our school bus drivers giving free shuttle bus rides.
Happy 4th everyone!
Denver beautiful town
Granola tree huggers?? Sounds good to me..better than cholesterol artery clogged tree destroyers. My cousin lives in Westminster, another in Estes Park.
What does a gallon of gas cost in YOUR town?
$2.39 here. Northwestern Wisconsin. It is pathetic.
dead town-ban WM stores
A little over 20 years ago WM opened in our town even though they had a Howard's at that time and put them out of business. Our nice town also had a sporting goods store, fabric store, several pharmacies, several local clothing stores and pool supply place. The only one that survived were the pharmacies. WM moved out a little over a year ago. Now we have to go 30 miles to find anything that we can't find in a dollar store. Not only do we have a big empty building that they left, now we will have another empty building that a chain grocery store is leaving because WM built super stores in the surrounding towns that use to shop in our nice little town. I suspect it will take years, if ever, to recover. Our only hope is that we have good leadership in our community.
Have you taken a course? Do you live in a town/city that - sm
maybe you could get some PRN work or part time work to get your resume started?
Try Googling him with his old address or name in the town he was from - also
I think there is an on-line site called privateeye.com, or something like that you pay a one time fee that could probably dig up all you want to know and more. If you have kids, kick him out (change locks), stay in the house if you have one, document any bruises, cuts, etc, with pictures, tell people, mom, dad, friends about it. My husband ask me before we married if I would ever leave/divorce him and I told my husband only if he hit me (1 x would be all it would take) or cheated on me that I was gone (he cheated on his ex-wife-- not with me, did not know him then and he'd be out on the street, and about $100K poorer at this point)--Good luck and I hope you land on your feet (running).
Yep, very very quiet town. Not much happening there

LOL ... 8 pm central, NBC ... but not in Little Rock or some town nm
in Indiana ... they are not showing it.
get outta town! congrats!
Well I'll probably be stoned and run out of town, but SM
it is the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life, and then asking you to PAY to sit the beta is beyond ridiculous.
For me, the CMT is unnecessary. I have never been without work a day in 25 years. I can work tomorrow if I lose my job today.
I've always said I may not be able to pass it for all I know - it may be over my head. But for me in my life, it is not a thing I've given a moment's thought to in 15 years. Yes, when I was supervisor of transcription at a big hospital, I thought about taking it and was encouraged to do so, but I just never did it.
I don't hold anything against somebody who does take those tests but for me they mean nothing.

Used to use Hand-Eze but can't find in my little town sm
any more. Found "Thergonomic Hand-Aids"
in my local Hobby-Lobby (an arts and crafts store), which is a similar item. I wear them inside out because the seams rub too much on my skin, so inside out is more comfortable.
Is there a way to find out if new doctors are in town?
It seems I've heard of a website like this before, but just can't remember. Thanks!
Asheville is pretty town from what I saw
a few years ago, visited the Biltmore. That place is really old inside. When you retire, you can always come to my little piece of heaven. Only draw back I have to here is too many tornado warnings, watches and threatening of tornados. Just don't care for those!
every question asked on here could be documented in some book. So? cant a question be asked?

No more Wal-Mart for me
Did you read the article on how they are going to save money by cutting out full time employees for part-timers, going to hire younger people who don't look sick to save on health insurance costs, etc., making the job requirements include a lot more physical activity to exclude the retirees, etc. I refuse to shop there any more. Wait until all the younger ones turn up pregnant, are on drugs or alcohol and don't show up for work because they were out all night partying the night before. I am so sick of the corporate mentality! They don't give a rip about people any more-- just the almighty dollar so they can buy a new yacht every year.
Wal-Mart.
Point Is???? Walmart/Medquist….Sound The Same To Me….lol. It’s Called ‘Corporate America’…..Get Use To It Ladies, It’s Here To Stay And Growing Like A Giant….(Corporate America That Is; And Wal-Mart Also). I’m Afraid They Are Just Like Every Other Business In America At The Moment. Think It Will Get Better: Dream On!
I Don’t Care What Wal-Mart Does. They Can Hire Children And Beat Them With Wet Grape Vines & Feed Them Vinegar And Piss, I Will Still Shop There. At This Day & Time You Have To Go Where You Get The Most For Your Dollar. If I Were To Boycott Everything That I Had A Problem With, I’m Afraid I Wouldn’t Be Able To Buy Gas, Food, Cigarettes (Right & Left-Handed), Liquor For The ‘Social-Functions’ I Must Put On….Or Attend. Oh, also I Wouldn’t Be Able To Finance Anything…Ever. So In Short, I Must ‘Turn The Other Cheek’ & Suck It Up & In Short I’ll Show The Other Cheek, Through In The Finger From Time To Time And As For Sucking It Up…Use 2 It….No Worries…LOL.
*No Worries
Wal-Mart
Here in the deep south, our Wal-Mart is definitely cheaper than our grocery stores. Winn-Dixie or Sav-A-Center do not hold a candle when comparing prices and I have done this with receipts. Wal-Mart definitely is cheaper on all products here and even though I do not like the hours it takes me, my pocketbook is better off. Had to shop around because DH is disabled and I need all the help I can get.
Wal-Mart
My two cents for what it is worth. Wal-Mart (like all other companies) offer insurance benefits to all of their full time employees. They do not offer to part time employees. This is just regular business practice. Also the statement made about selling insurance through Sam's is just a business decision. And people that do not work at Wal-Mart and do not have insurance, can now buy that insurance at a better price.
Get the facts before you post please. I happen to have family members that work at Wal-Mart and they all have insurance but they are full time employees.
Just saw some in Wal*Mart the other day
But that's one aroma that may be hard to capture!
Wal-Mart
I think the qualifications to work at the Wal-Mart in our town is that you need to have 1 tooth, dirty bra straps hanging down your arm, a tattoo on your neck. That's for the women. It might be different for the men.
sorry, that is call out of town family and friends, nm
