Should Keep Their Hopes Low About Getting High
PHARMACY | RIGHT | AUGUST 1, 2016
(I’m working the Sunday shift on my own at the counter, when three young boys in their teens walk in.)
Me: “Good morning, how can I help you today?”
Customer
#1 : “We’re looking for some salvia.”
Me: “Excuse me… what? Could you repeat that?”
Customer
#1 : “Salvia.”
Me: *having never heard of this* “I… I’m not sure…”
Customer
#2 : “SALVIA, you dumb b****! SAL-VEEEE-AAAA!”
Me: “What is it used for?”
Customer
#1 : *sighs* “I thought you were meant to know all about this stuff? It’s a drug, to get you high, like weed or heroin and stuff.”
Me: “…”
Customer
#2 : “It’s legal. They haven’t banned it yet!”
Me: “We… we don’t sell recreational drugs here.”
Customer
#3 : “Well, then, where the h*** are we meant to get it?”
Me: “You could try your local dealer…”
(To this day I still don’t know what possessed them into thinking that a pharmacy would sell recreational drugs!)
