I went to have a prescription refilled--the poor pharmacists, however, were swamped, so I went and grabbed some needed toilet paper and hopped in line. No big deal. I could wait.
It was taking a while because, as I heard, they had three people on hold on the phone, the drive-thru backed up, all of us in line at the counter and only two people working--which would be normal, as it was nine at night (I go that late to get a quick refill, usually works, not tonight). There was a lady holding up one guy bitching about how she wanted more Ambien than her doctor had prescribed to her. WTF number 1. Everyone in the line seemed pretty chill about having to wait, except the woman behind me.
SC: Excuse me!
Me: Yes?
SC: Are you actually getting a prescription or are you just buying that stuff?
WTF number 2. I rolled my eyes at her.
Me: Do you really think I'd be waiting here if I wasn't?
She huffed and puffed and went back to minding her own damn business. So I get to the counter and ask for a refill, and decide to come back tomorrow since the wait would be an hour. Not a big deal. So I head up to the front to buy my toilet paper so huffy lady wouldn't have an stroke watching me buy that--and just that--at the pharmacy counter.
There are two registers up front. And at both, yes both were old women tutting and bickering with the cashiers about coupons. As I listened more, it became clear to me that both of them were trying to use more than one "only one coupon can be used per transaction" coupons and wouldn't just pay out the extra damn fifty cents. WTF number 3. One of the cashiers directs me to the photo counter.
The poor girl looked tired. I made a comment about how the crazy people were out and she laughed a little and said, "Yeah..." I told her to hang in there.
Man, WTF altogether! Is it a full moon or something?
