After 48 incredible years of dedication, we are announcing the retirement of a very special member of our Consort Pharmacy I.D.A. family, Linda Paillard. ❤️
Linda began working at the pharmacy on June 21, 1978, and what a journey it has been! Over the years, she has seen countless changes, different owners, many employees, and plenty of ups and downs. Through it all, she has remained a familiar face and a vital part of our pharmacy and community.
I recently asked Linda to share a few memories and reflect on how much the store has changed since she first started.
✨Did you know? Linda has kept a list of everyone she’s worked with over the years — 89 people! How incredible is that?! If you’re one of those 89 people, leave a comment below! We’d love to make sure Linda gets to hear from you!
Linda also shared how special it has been to work alongside so many generations. She remembers working with many people and years later working with their children!
Linda recalls when she first began working here, before computers, all transactions were done manually by writing down the PLU numbers to receive stock and to track sales. It was very time consuming compared to technology now!
While we will miss Linda deeply at the store, we are so happy for her to enjoy this well-deserved next chapter and look forward to seeing her for frequent visits!
We’d love your help celebrating Linda! 💐
While details of an official retirement celebration are still to be determined, please feel free to stop by the pharmacy to sign her retirement card.
Or leave a message, favourite memory, or well wishes in the comments below. 👇We’ll be sure she gets them all!
THANK YOU for everything, Linda! Your dedication, kindness, loyalty, familiar & friendly smile have meant so much to Consort Pharmacy and our community. Wishing you all the happiness and relaxation retirement has to offer!
