I got a robo-call from Duane Reade (pharmacy chain in the USA), saying that one of my scripts was up for renewal that week and provided the nearest address for pickup.

 

I was chuffed enough about it to write a blog pos a few months back.

I think it was brilliant.

Doctors offices regularly use them to remind people of their

appointments to reduce missed ones.  A major US based online pharmacy

(yeah US based!) also does it to remind people their medication is on

its way so they know to expect it and report it missing if it does not

arrive.
