A 52-year-old man from the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area walked into Walgreens at 2781 Lavista Rd. and tried to fill a Lipitor prescription, DeKalb County police said. But when it came time to pay, the man and the pharmacist began arguing over a $25 coupon for the medication. The man asked to see the medication, and when the pharmacist went to help another customer, the man was gone, the police report said. The medication is worth about $160, but because he had health insurance, the suspect was only required to pay a $42 copay. Is this an interesting anecdote in the …
