A Spoonful Of Violence Helps The Medicine Go Down
PHARMACY | RIGHT | JULY 15, 2014
(I am on quite a few prescription medicines, one of which costs $170. I am picking up four refills.)
Pharmacy Clerk: “This one is $1.17. The second is $7.79. And the third is…”
(He trails off and takes a few steps back from the counter separating us.)
Pharmacy Clerk: “Uh… do you know how much this costs?”
Me: “If it’s the [Brand Name Medicine], then it will be about $170.”
(He looks relieved and returns to the register.)
Pharmacy Clerk: “Sorry. On my first week on the job, a customer assaulted me after hearing the price of his medicine.”
