  • Idiots at the clinic

    So I went in to get my shot today. The clinic opens at 8 am. I pulled up at about 5 minutes to, and approached the building at about 3 to.

    Two old women were elaborating on how terrible this clinic treats their patients by not letting them in. Um, hello, it's not 8 yet you dumb old bats. Not only that, but it's beautiful outside! You could have sat in your car and waited, but you wanted to soak up the sushine, didn't you? But you still just had to have something to whine about.

    Then Mrs Trailer Park and her clunking pile of junk come rip roaring into the parking lot and she parks in the middle of two parking spots. So not only is she a big winner already, she has an "I'm important because the world owes me!" attitude which can be concluded from her driving and parking habbits.

    She looks at me in the old bitties right in the eyes........walks right past us, and pulls really hard on the doors. They are both locked.

    "WHAT IN THE HELL!" her toothless mouth agape, she yelled. "It's FUCKING 7:59! Open the GOD DAMN DOORS ALREADY!", and *trust me, I used to HATE this when I worked at stores* begings pulling and pulling and tugging and tugging and reefing and reefing and then rattling and shaking the doors.

    Someone finally comes and opens the door. I obviously let Trailer Park and the two old bitties to go in first. I wanted to live to see the rest of the day.

    Oh, that's not all!

    The clinic has a new policy (which I don't see why this wasn't the original policy!) that patients must first sign in at the receptionist area and THEN proceed to the lab. It used to be that people could just go straight to the lab, but that must have led to way too much confusion. Of course, there is a SIGN that says "All Lab patients must sign in before proceeding to the Lab!", but of course, who reads signs right?

    I saw two old farts walk in, look at the sign, and huff and puff and walk to the Lab anyway.

    Needless to say, about 5 minutes later, both old farts hobble back to the reception area and throw a tantrum about having to sign in first. The typical "We've been coming here for YEARS! We could go anywhere else! How can you do this to your loyal patients?! Blargle blargle blargle! Back in my day blargle blargle......!!!"

    Oh. My. God............just.......what a shitty start to what I thought would be a good morning. Thank God I will be in bed soon before anyone else can rain on my parade.

    Ah yes, the old "I see the sign, but that's not a rule, its just a suggestion, and besides, I'm special" attitude.
    I love it when the SCs then realize that it IS a rule, it's NOT just a suggestion, and no, you sure as hell are NOT special.

    (I love "blargle", by the way. Its very....onomatopoeic.)

    If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

      On the other hand, what's the point of signing in at the front desk when it makes no diff to the folks in the clinic that's treating you?

        Here's an odd little comic I got while looking at an ad on a webcomic I found in an ad I found in a webcomic I found in an ad from Crap I Drew On My Lunch Break. Rather interesting this shows up the same day you mention 'signs are suggestions' attitude.

          Those signs are just suggestions. Like the speed limit, and pants.

                I love the sign in the comic: The customer is always there. If they're right, it's a miracle. How true...

                I don't understand the whole shaking of the door thing...Every time I see that Commerce Bank commercial with Regis and Kelly walking past the guy shaking the door and he says "It's my bank and they're closed"...I always think, then why the hell are you standing there shaking the door? Plus, it's after dark in the commercial, it's not like they're going to be opening soon or there's anyone there to hear him...Gah!! (Of course, then R and K take him to Commerce, where they're open late, but what are they going to do for him? He doesn't have an account there...lol)
