I’m Over Your Hangover
PHARMACY | RIGHT | FEBRUARY 20, 2015
(I’m another customer waiting for my prescription. A young hungover male customer is talking to the pharmacy staff. She is asking him some questions to be sure he’s not drug seeking.)
Customer: “I need some strong headache stuff.”
Pharmacist: “Okay sir, just a couple of questions. Are you allergic to anything?”
Customer: “No.”
Pharmacist: “Okay, are you taking any other medications?”
Customer: *annoyed sigh* “NO! D*** it, I had too much to drink last night and my head f****** hurts; just give me the f***** tablets.”
(I hadn’t noticed the head pharmacist hovering till the man got aggravated. He is a 6 foot tall, usually quietly spoken, older man.)
Head Pharmacist: “Sir, there is absolutely no need to swear at [Pharmacist]. She has to ask these questions for your safety.” *hands over some headache tablets* “Here you go, sir.”
Customer: “Whatever.”
(He pays and leaves. The pharmacist turns to her coworker.)
Pharmacist: “I should’ve given him the strongest laxatives we have.”
(I couldn’t help but giggle.)
