I've also found that 1mL vs 10 mL vials can depend on pharmacy. There's a CVS I've been to that only stocks the 1mL but then I've been to a CVS that stocks both and will give me the 10. I've been to Targets that only stock the 10. It seems to vary simply on which location you go to sometimes whether they even have the 10 in stock to give you. I know that's why I was refused a 10 at CVS once, they didn't have a 10 at all.

Right, but technically they can always order a 10ml vial. That's what Walgreen's did for me.

No, they didn't. I now go to a different branch of CVS for my other prescriptions -- one in a better neighborhood, which tends to keep the staff polite -- and I pay out of pocket for the T at Walgreen's, using the GoodRx coupon.

No, it's just how things are in general. And I should have said that the requirement for a paper copy of the Rx may not apply in all states -- I just know that in mine, they can't do it electronically.

In my case, I'd been getting the 10 ml vials there with no problem until I ran into that one woman who wanted to be a coprophagous douchenugget about it. But once she called my insurance company, they noticed, and that was that.

Exactly, douchenugget is the best word to describe it. Honestly, I think that some form of bias/discrimination can be involved as well. The CVS pharmacist felt determined to prevent me from getting a 10 vial, stating that they never sell the 10 ml as a rule, which is just not true.
