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

You are broke like the rest of us

Like all Pharmacists out there, I'm a cashier. That's right - I'm one of the highest paid cashiers in the entire country. Anyway, am I the only person that rings out a "rich-broke person" every single day? You know who I'm talking about...

"Okay, that will be $96.12 - You can swipe your card right there..."
"I'm going to use my debit card..."
[swipe]
"It says 'Card Issuer Denied The Charge'."
"What that's crazy. That account has over twenty thousand dollars in it..."

Yeah fucking right. My checking account has, at its HIGHEST one-tenth of that amount. How did you get all that money? And, more importantly, why would it say no for a measly $96.12? I'll tell you why - you don't have that much money and you're embarrassed. It's okay. I'm 100 thousand dollars in debt - The vast majority of my money is gone immediately after my direct deposit hits the bank. Don't lie about it. [I know, that's fucking harsh - forgive me]

Then there's my favorite...they guy that's Credit Card gets denied and he was hoping his deposit got applied already so he's back below his credit limit. That's fine - I played those games before...in college! But, once you're an adult it's time to grow up, and put away childish things...

People! Stop living outside your means. Credit card companies FEED on that idea nowadays. They want you to spend, spend, spend, and then live the rest of your life paying on the interest and not the actual debt. You're screwed. You're spinning your tires in a rut you'll never get out of.

Credit cards are for large purchases (and emergencies) only - something you don't have the cash on hand to buy but have the assets available TO BUY. Pay the bill as soon as it comes in and don't let the interest every acrue a dime on you...They get you buy offering ZERO PERCENT INTEREST UNTIL 2009! WOO HOO! So, you can rack up 5 grand on the card in the mean time, not pay a dime, and get your sigmoid pounded when it hits you in a few years. Don't be fooled...Transfering the balance may work - but it will catch up with you!

Of course that'll never work - otherwise Visa, Mastercard, and AMEX wouldn't exist. They'd be out of business.
