Recently, our pharmacy started doing deliveries to home-bound folks as a courtesy.

Corporate wants everyone to sign up for a store savings card (which can be linked to your checking account) and that way, the meds can be charged and paid for before I even leave the store, no money has to change hands, I only need a signature when I drop it off

Naturally, none of these elderly folks want to hear about this, they all watch Dateline, they KNOW what happens when you use a credit card for anything, they find your bloated corpse in an alley with it's throat slit!!

So, even though it's hopeless, I still have to pitch the card to everyone at least once, if only so they can decline it, and I can note that I'll be taking check or cash from these people in the future

Lamest argument so far?

-"Do you want to sign up for our store card? It will take the cost of the RX right out of your checking account"
-"I can't afford to take money out of my checking account! I'll go broke!!!!"
-"Okay, how would you like to pay?"
_"I'll write you a check"

Well, that made no sense.

I hear you on that one.

Another one we got was the bacon customers. "Lean bacon please."
It came in a 10 pound box, and was less than a dollar a pound. It wasn't all that lean. There was no way I was picking through a tray to find only the slices with just meat and no fat, because it would have taken way too long.

Oh yes! How could I forget that one! Lean bacon! I laughed everytime someone would ask for that. Talk about an oxyMORON!
Arg! All these deli memories are flooding back! Must run.Hide.

Me: Hello this is Tanasi how can I help you?
SC: Yes is John round?
Me: No, he's a basic human shape that is a little rounder than some, anything else I can help you with?
SC: Uhhhh, can I speak to John.
Me: Well considering you conversing with me I would assume you're capaible of speaking to John, anything else I can help you with?
SC: Uhhhhh, is John there?
Me: Yes.
SC: May I speak to John?
Me: Sure just a second
John: Hello, this is John.
SC: What's wrong with Tanasi?
John: Nothing as far as I know, why?
SC relays conversation to John...
John: :laughs: Do you know the difference between can and may?
SC: Oh.

I love being a smart-a$$. I've said before if I couldn't be one I'd die, a friend replied "You're going to live forever."
