Us [on Monday]: You can’t fill that script until Wednesday. It’s too soon and you should have plenty
Junkie: Wednesday?
Us: Yes. That’s still two days early.
Junkie: What if I come in on Tuesday, after 2pm?

Yesterday we had a little kid in the store with his mother. He looked to be about six years old, and was generally pretty well behaved while his mom was getting some prescriptions. Until…..

Little kid: Ma! Mom! Mom! Mmmooommm!
Mother: What?!

Happy Friday! Today marks the official end of the work week for people like Supertech, who's just getting into work right now and will most likely be spending today selling 10-packs of syringes and filling scripts for narcotics. I'm sitting around in my jimjams and drinking coffee ( Read more... )

Actual conversations we've had at work this week:

From the living room comes the unmistakable accent of Paul Hogan.

“Are you watching Crocodile Dundee?” I ask.

There’s pause. He’s hesitating. “No,” he replies, drawing the word out slowly.

“Are you watching Crocodile Dundee 2?”

“Yes,” he replies, defeated. “Do you know what’s sadder than me watching it though?”
