Thank God this is my last day working here at Thagard!!!! For the life of me I simply can't understand how a people on a whole can be so impatient. From folded arms, to tapping feet and drumming fingers, to thrown money and credit cards. An ill-mannered little heifer just exclaimed, "Six hundred dollars!" in my face, as if I had anything to do with the cost of medication. I wanted to...... There is a sign that says if you have insurance let the pharmacist know. They look so shocked when you tell them the price of their medication, and then they exclaim, "but I have insurance!" Now tell me how the hell as cashiers and pharmacists are we to know that you have insurance, and what kind. I try to be Christ-like, and sympathize, even empathize, but in my opinion there's absolutely no excuse for rudeness, especially if I'm neither responsible nor can I alter your situation. Over at FAMU we wait in line 3-5 hours at time for Financial Aid, yet I don't see tempers, or things thrown, yet over here if "they" have to wait for even 20 minutes many of "them" are ready to throw tantrums. I don't get it. Ms. Stephanie, the pharmacist told me a guy told her "F**K You," and shot her the bird, because his prescription wasn't being processed as expediently as he wanted. I don't get it, and probably never will.
When Thagard became my only option about a month ago, I had wondered if God was sending me to this place I despised so much as a test of my character. Had I grown? Had my attitude towards "them" changed? I think I've grown, but I'm not perfect. Issues, grievances live on. One day, maybe...
