Do NOT take kids to the movies, prick…

Posted by The *Angriest* Pharmacist as --Not Pharmacy--, Me being a dick, Stupid People, True Story

I got back from the movies a little bit ago. I saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets. It was okay…very predictable, but okay. I realize it is a Disney movie, but don’t take your fucking kids to the movie. Now, I realize some people may have kids that are capable of sitting for two hours quietly — most of you, do not. If your kid is incapable of shutting the fuck up, don’t take him…point blank.

Some waste of life decided to bring their kid tonight. That’s fine. Kids have just as much right to see movies as I do, but would a child really understand National Treasure (even if it is a Disney film)? Fuck no. Also, the movie started at 10pm. I went to the late show for a reason — to avoid you and your stupid ass fucking children. Take them to the 5 o’clock showing of Ratatouille - not to the late show of a movie targeting older children, teens, and adults. If they can’t keep quiet, remove them from the theatre. Don’t continually tell them to shut up and watch the movie. You lost your money — Nay, you wasted your ticket money on yourself and your retarded child.

The next thing I want to bitch about is people’s overwhelming urge to have their property either in their hand or directly in front of them. It’s like they think that someone is constantly behind them staring at their pocketbook thinking, “If she steps to the side, I’m swipin’ that motherfucker and she’ll never see it again.” Give me a break. We’re in a pharmacy. I have 10 cameras pointed at me, and 4 cameras pointed at you. I also have 10 others throughout my building. No one is going to try a snatch and run.

Here’s my layout:

==Counter=========== [Register1]=|Door| =[Register2]========

People step to the far left as if that’s where we perform all our transactions. Then when we have them step in front of Register 1 to slide their credit card or sign our little log book, the have to pick up their purse, pocketbook, and the items they wish to purchase and move them to the 3 inches of space we have between Register 1 and the door. Do you think I don’t notice all the stupid crap you are wanting to buy? Do you think I’m just gonna scan your Rx and say, “Sorry, too late. You didn’t present your other items soon enough, I can’t ring them out. You’ll have to take them to the store’s front register.”

I just don’t fucking get it. On top of all else, the bags are on the left side of register 1 and the right side of register 2. They are plainly visible. When you move them to the narrow sliver between the door and register, I just have to move them back. Me saying leave them there does nothing. They still move them. Maybe people are afraid someone else is gonna sneak up behind them, pay for them, then run out of the store with the crappy shit. Do you really have to pick up your purse as well? No one is going to snatch your purse with me standing their facing the opposite direction. Usually, snatching a purse and running is a difficult crime to prosecute, but one someone be as retarded to perform such a dumbass crime with a pharmacist standing their watching them? Especially a large, athletic-built pharmacist? I’m not a little old lady. I look like I played high school football - I don’t look like a small chess player.

Get over yourself. Maybe people are worried about identity theft. That too is bullshit. If someone wants to steal your identity, rack up charges, and have some fun with you - they will do it, have their fun, and be done and gone a month before you ever know. It’s a cyber crime — not a result of a snatch and run job. Those crackheads (who are not usually located in a respected place of business) are in it for the potential 20 bucks you have in your wallet — they don’t want your credit cards. Using them is futile as they can all be cancelled in minutes and an arrest will follow. Paper trails would also exist as well as video of their use. Criminals are stupid for doing the crime, but they are usually smart enough to not get caught every time.

Leave your license on the counter after I set it down. It’s not going to run away. I’m not going to let you forget it. Calm the fuck down. Sign the book. Pay your bill. Get the fuck out. Stop acting like your ‘personal property’ is gold…your shit is actually copper, dude.

The last motion picture I saw in a movie theater was “Forrest Gump.” For some of the reasons you listed, I have not set foot inside a movie theater since 1994, for the following reasons:

1)too expensive; what is it now, $10? I can affford it, but it’s a rip-off considering the absence of quality in 95% of rhe films . The motion picture industry panders to the least common denominator of minds. For$10? No, thank you.

2) Why pay too much just to get chewing gum or semi-dried spilled soft drinks on my shoes?

3) the noisy kids were just beginning to appear in 1994, along with cell phones

I’m very happy to wait six or eight months and see the lousy movie on cable. I seldom even rent these things. I’lll buy only classic movies on DVD.

I did try to go see “The Passion Of The Christ” when it debuted at my local theater, but it was SOLD OUT!! I finally got to see it, and I’ve seen better films, but it was just the idea that Hollywood shunned this one. Yeah, it’s a remake (grin). Look at all the remakes–All The King’s Men, Psycho, The Omen, Village Of The Damned, The Manchurian Candidate–when are we going to learn that these guys in SoCal have completely run out of ideas, so they borrow others’ ideas and want to charge us to revisit them?

i had the exact same thing happen when i went to see national treasure. except the kid was probably about 6 months old. seriously. get a babysitter or don’t go out.

On the identity theft thing:sometimes people don’t want to keep their little leaflet that we give them. I’ve had a few people ask me to throw it out. Then, after a few seconds change their mind and say they will shred it themselves. I tell them we have trash that we shred. I’ve had 2 people tell me they don’t trust that the trash will be shredded. I don’t know if these people realize I have access to a whole lot of their other info that I put in that same garbage that will be “shredded.” Ugh, people annoy the hell out of me. Nobody cares if you’re on atenolol, for God’s sake. Lose the ego.

I don’t get that. Who doesn’t trust their fucking pharmacist? I’d be finding a new pharmacy!

As for what medicine people are on - from what I can tell, no one has any concerns for their own privacy. The vast majority of people will just blurt out the name of their medicine in the middle of the New York City Street - like it’s a badge of honor to be on “HCTZ, 80 milligrams of Lipitor, Metformin two times a day and the new one called Aten-awl.”

Except for you Valtrex people…you guys wear big sunglasses, hoods, gloves, and speak in a falceto voice…very secretive for some reason — perhaps it’s the crotch rot?
