Rather than jump into the sea and cool off I did the prudent thing... I went to CIRCLE K... where ALL SIZES of fountain sodas are just 0.69 cents (yes, just SIXTY NINE CENTS ! ! ! ) I Parked at tank number 4, dodged a few wild roosters, climbed the steep steps to the front doors and there it was... the heaven of all fountain soda machines with more choices of any fountain soda machine I have ever seen. My thirst demanded I go with 64 ounces of mountain dew... gone in less than 5 minutes and an apology to my bladder and I was ready for my return to the beach. It's not just a fountain machine stop. They underwent a make-over not too long ago so all the self-serve machines (coffee, frozen icy's, hotdog/sausages, boobs) are brand new and the staff has been good about keeping the machines clean. They even have milkshake machine and considering the milkshakes are half the price of Dairy Queen they are well worth it. In addition to all the other typical convenience store goodies, they even have a walk-in beer freezer. And it's all open 24/7 The only negatives: They tend to get quite busy and normally only have one cashier and a line builds up blocking the whole self-serve area (aka Take Away Cafe). And sometimes the cashiers make small talk with patrons leaving the rest of us in line scratching our heads wondering how soon is it okay to say "move it along please"

But Mr Bonapartes ego prevents him from such thoughts. I think our tiny friend needs a little slice of humble pie, and a new job not working with the public. I will note that the guy running the chicken counter was obviously bothered by the cashiers behavior and tried to step in and help the guy.

At the End of the Line: How Walgreens' Supply Chain Fails Key West Patients…read more Living in Key West--and living aboard a sailboat--means accepting certain realities. Groceries cost more. Deliveries take longer. We are, quite literally, at the end of the road. What should not be part of that bargain is going without life-sustaining medication. Yet that has become my experience at Walgreens. As a patient who depends on daily medication, I routinely wait three to four days after placing a refill order before it is actually available for pickup at my local Walgreens. During that time, I have had to go without my medication entirely. When I asked why this happens so often, a pharmacist explained that Key West sits at the southernmost end of Walgreens' supply chain. Shipments arrive later, inventory is thinner, and delays are common. That explanation may describe the logistics--but it does not excuse the consequences. For patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, missed doses are not an inconvenience. They are a health risk. The problem is compounded by how Walgreens dispenses insulin. Long-acting insulin such as Lantus is typically prescribed as a 30-day supply, but because it is sold in fixed, sealed packages, many patients receive closer to 20 days' worth per fill, depending on their dose. Insurance copays are charged per prescription fill, not per month. The result is predictable: two pharmacy visits, two copays, and more opportunities for delay. In a place like Key West--where even Walgreens acknowledges that we are last in line for deliveries--that structure becomes dangerous. If your refill is delayed by several days and you were already given less than a month's supply, you don't just pay more. You run out. Walgreens will point out, correctly, that it does not manufacture insulin, that it cannot break sealed packaging, and that insurance rules govern copays. But those explanations miss the larger issue: Walgreens chose to operate a national pharmacy model that does not adequately account for geographically isolated communities like ours. If a company is going to dominate the pharmacy market--closing competitors, centralizing fulfillment, and cutting staffing--it also assumes responsibility for ensuring reliable access. In Key West, alternatives are limited. When Walgreens is delayed, patients don't simply go across the street. We wait. Or we go without. This is what profit-driven efficiency looks like at the edge of the map. Inventory kept lean to control costs. Refills routed through distant supply chains. Patients absorbing the risk when the system fails. Public health experts have long warned that gaps in medication access lead to higher emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and preventable complications. That risk is magnified in communities with fewer providers and fewer pharmacies. Key West may be a tourist destination, but for those of us who live here year-round, it can feel like a pharmacy desert with palm trees. Walgreens likes to describe itself as a healthcare partner. Partners do not tell patients to wait several days for essential medication. Partners do not design systems where people pay more and receive less--and then blame geography. If Walgreens intends to serve communities like Key West, it must do better. That means maintaining adequate local inventory, aligning insulin dispensing with real-world dosing, and treating access as a health obligation rather than a logistical afterthought. Because at the end of the supply chain, the cost of delay is paid not only in dollars, but in days without medicine--and in a higher risk of diabetes-related illness and death.
