The *Angriest* Pharmacist You want your prescription filled when? Eat shit…

Complete and utter rudeness

So, today a lady comes to my counter and asks me to show her where the baby aspirin is at. I always oblige, especially when someone says, “Please.” (and made a vain attempt to find it themselves) Then, as I grab it off the shelf for her she asks me what I know about the new inhalation insulin, Exubera. I told her I was a long way from an expert on the issue, but from what I read the actually insulin dose achieved after inhalation varied a lot from dose to dose based on correct use and whether or not the patient had a stuffy nose. Before I can finish the latter part of that little blurb I hear some jackass blurt, “Excuse me, sir. Where is the Fish Oil?” from behind me.

Listen up, fuckers. Saying, “excuse me” does not make what you are doing polite. Is it okay to T-bone somebody in your Escalade if you say, “Excuse me”? NO. Use some common sense…if you haven’t pissed your common sense out the window with pot, opioids, and Soma. If I am standing in front of someone that is NOT you, it is NOT OKAY for you to speak with me. Wait your damn turn. I will be more than happy to show you were the fish oil is, even if you are to lazy to find it yourself (or even attempt to look).

It’s not so much that you are being rude to me, I am there to help you no matter what. That’s what I get paid to do. You are being rude to the person that I am helping when you help yourself into the middle of what I’m doing. Would you like that if the roles were reversed?

How did I handle the situation you ask? I glanced at him, put up a finger as if to say, “Wait your motherfucking turn,” and I said, “I’m helping this lady right now. I’ll be with you in a minute.” Yeah, it was polite. It was the right way to handle the situation. I just wish I could think of a way to make someone’s head explode with a flick of my wrist then I’d be able to adequately handle the situation. I should have been a Jedi.
