So I had a doctor's appointment today. Think of the slogan: Check Up or Check Out.
So I was there for that among other keep-myself-healthy-and-alive reasons, one of which was getting some new birth control (sorry if that's TMI but it's moderately important).
Well I wasn't expecting to get the birth control today, so I didn't have cash on me. Also, I used to just get a prescription for it then pick it up from the pharmacy (for free - thank you drug plan) on my own, however I've just switched to Depo Provera aka "The Shot", meaning I have to get the doctor to administer it.
I guess I could do it myself since I can pick it up from the pharmacy, but why in goodness' name would I want to?
Anyway, so I told the receptionist that I needed to pay for my shot, but had no cash. We agreed that it would be alright for me to go up the street to get some cash then come right back.
So I did.
When I returned a different receptionist was helping me and asked what I needed.
Me: "I just need to pay the $25 for my Depo shot."
Her: "Well how am I supposed to know that!? You look completely different with those [sun] glasses on!"
Well I can see the mistake. I do have special sunglasses that warp my face, change my hair colour and alter my clothing.
Note: she didn't say it in a playful tone, but rather a completely snotty one. I couldn't believe it.
She basically bit my head off and I can't think of why. She was especially snotty through the rest of the transaction (I was also making the doctor I see my official regular doctor, as my family doctor passed away).
When I asked if I could have a receipt, so I can claim the cost of the shots on my drug plan and get the money back, she huffed, puffed and complained through the whole thing.
She even said, "*sigh* You want a receipt now, too?"
This office is small. Tiny even. Even if it were a particularly busy day is it really too much to ask for a little politeness? After all I DID just endure a full physical. Give me a break woman. If anyone should be a little testy here it's the one who just had... well I won't go into the gory details but I think you (ladies especially) can see where I'm going with this.
