  • Pharmacy Jerk (language)

    After reading cloudiko's post I rather wish this kind of day on one of the local pharmacists. He went off on me when I went in to pick up my g/f's prescription for no apparent reason.

    PJ: Pharmacy Jerk
    Me: Ummm...nah, you know this one.
    SM: Store Manager

    Also, just to note, there was only one other customer in the entire store, which was an independent drugstore similar to CVS & Rite-Aid. So, I walked right up to the line-free counter.

    PJ: *doesn't look up from the computer or anything, must have seen me in his peripheral vision* Can I do something for you?

    Me: I'm here to pick up a prescription for <g/f>.

    PJ: *still doesn't look away from the computer* As you can see we're very busy. It's not ready yet.

    Me: Really? It was sent in three days ago and she really needs the refill. (it was sent in on Thursday, this was Sunday) Could you double check to make sure?

    PJ: *finally looks at me, for the purpose of glaring, and raising his voice* I told you it's not f---ing ready, what the hell is your problem? I'm f---ing busy here and I don't have time for this crap!

    Me: *in quick succession * I don't see a line and this was called in on Thursday. It was supposed to be ready yesterday, but we were out of town and got back a day late. There's no one else anywhere near the pharmacy counter and I notice you haven't even checked the f---ing bin. Maybe try being less of an a--hole while you're at it.

    PJ: That's enough! *grabs the phone, pages the store manger to the pharmacy* You're getting banned! I don't get paid to deal with this f---ing crap. *storms out through the back door*

    Me:

    SM comes up. Asks what I need. I lodge a complaint regarding the way I was treated by PJ. I included my final statement to him, verbatim, as I really felt I was entitled (evil word!) to treat him as I did at the end.

    SM apologizes profusely and checks the bin. What does he find? There's the prescription all ready to go. SM rings me up and sends me on my way. I inform him we'll be taking our business elsewhere despite the apology. And we've since taken all our business to Rite-Aid because my threats to go elsewhere are not the empty SC kind of threats.

      I used to work for a pharmacy in one of the chain stores. I just worked the registar and handed over the medication. It was all right except for the days when the whole world sent in their prescribtions.
      I always hated when they used that excuse "My doctor called it in this morning!" or "I just left my doctor's office and came right over. He said he would call in the prescription". I hate when they spout that excuse out. Especially when they don't take responsbility to make sure when their doctor will call it in or if they did at all.


      Worse is when they would hiss at me for the price of their medication. They believe since I'm working the registar that I must the one setting the prices. I almost wanted to insist that I go to the normal polo shirt that normal workers got instead of wearing the white coat that everyone wore in the pharmacy. Some how without the white coat I would rarely get any grief.

        If I'm not mistaken, you DO get paid to deal with this ****ing crap. Now, if by THIS, you mean my language, so sorry that I've mirrored your F***ing T***BURGERING ways, but I figured I should talk ***HOLE so as to not have to translate later as I apparently had to from COMMON ****ING DECENCY, D***OFF. Best grab my medicine before YOU need a prescription, capiche?!

        For chrissake...we deal with a lot of crap here, but I'd like to think we don't bring it on ourselves! Am I right?

          wow, it sounds like he was having beyond a bad day; still doesn't excuse the attitude, language or refusal to perform 'what he gets paid for.'

          good for you standing your ground and not making that sc mantra/threat!

          Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

              What a loser. Hope he got fired.

                Words fail me. What the frack was so interesting on his damned computer that he couldn't get up for a few moments to check?
                Random conversation:
                Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
                DDD: Cuz it's cool

                So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

                  Technically, he wouldn't even have to get up. The pharmacy computer there is on the counter next to the register. All he had to do was walk 4 feet to his right, open the bin, pull out the prescription and ring me up. Which, obviously, was asking too much.

                    Maybe he was trying to get fired? We had 2 employees do that at the Almighty Siren who serves coffee. One had gotten another job and didn't want to give two weeks notice (ooookay), so she started acting put out at customers and it went downhill from there very quickly. Another one just didn't want to work, and wanted to collect unemployment. She picked a fight with a customer. She didn't get to collect unemployment either. My manager fought it every time she tried to collect.

                    That's the only explanation I have for this guy.

                      Do you really want an answer to that?

                        Maybe he found GingerBiscuit's fetish web site.

                            And who knows, maybe he was. If so, then maybe he'll step up and tell us his version of the story.
