I hate the first of the month.

The woman with the check sounds like she may have had OCD.

That's exactly what I was thinking. We have one of those at my pharmacy. We can't actually fill her prescriptions until she comes into the store. After filling them we have to keep them sitting out separately so they are not touching anyone else's stuff. When she comes in she gives us these instructions and asks us to page her over the loudspeaker when her stuff is ready. She then confirms this with us five or six times before walking away from the counter.

Why get up? A lot of pharmacies have drive throughs. Go through one of them, and demand that the pharmacist get you a coke, refuse to leave until they do it.

After all if you have time to wait in a drive through for a drink you have time to harass a pharmacist.

Please don't give them any ideas!

I wondered if you'd see that, heh.

Well if that happens to you you have the right to blame me for thinking it up (though sadly I'm sure somebody has tried it)

SC: "I don't give a shit! You need to be parking those people in the damn parking lot to wait on their food and you need to be out here with pen and paper in hand to take our orders down! All I wanted was a goddamn Coke and I have had to wait FIVE minutes in this line without someone coming to me and asking what I want!"

would you like some Midol to go with that coke?

Be sure to have a prescription for that coke.

I remember this one woman writting a check at the dollar store.

Actually, it's a long story, that involve me and mom being in line first, and as my mom tried to get 8 cents out, a line formed. The SR then got to the next register and started to ring up the other people. We had our money out and 2 people pass us. The third person starts to write a check. I tell the SR "here's the money" and check writer says, "some people are impatient." and I'm thinking, "you are writing a check at a $1 store, couldn't you use some cash for buying those two things?" and also what a bitch the SR was for not taking our money and started to argue with us. That woman writting a check is taking longer then when my mom was looking for change.

ugh.

I'm surprised fast food places take checks.

Boss Lady isn't really trying very hard (at all, actually) to get it fixed. Something about it costing $100 bucks.

We had a turnstyle installed in our library that was suppose to keep the homeless people out of our area. People kept on pushing down on the handles and the turnstyle broke. The part to replace it was either $1000 or $10,000. I think it was $10,000 because we all were thinking, "WTF! just hire a guard then!"

No.

Just, no. Not gonna happen.

I will send certain OTC meds out the drive through if the patient has a prescription that they're dropping off or picking up; i.e. has legitimate business in the DT. I will not go out and do their grocery shopping for them. The geniuses at corporate (Chain of Verylarge Stores) wanted us to do this; they can come to my store and do it their own damn selves, if they want that done.

Back when I worked at the Aid of Rite, we wouldn't even send prescription medications out the DT if they were liquids, because they mostly used pneumatic tubes, rather than drawers. Seems one of the cashiers sent a bottle of cough syrup out the tube and it exploded. Not sure if this was from the high vacuum in the tube, or from the WHAM when it hit the end of the pipe where the rubber cushion used to be. They had to throw away that whole canister; never did get all the syrup out of it. Ever since then, solids only. The Chain used sliding drawers, so there wasn't this problem; even so, in some of the stores I'd unlock the window and hand the stuff through to them rather than use the drawer. (The acquisition stores (ex-Drug Fair?) had some weird wooden home-made drawers rather than the Diebold ones that the Chain specified for new construction; these drawers tended to jam on us, and Diebold's techs didn't know how to fix them, as I found out when we called them. Easier to use the window.)

But drugs only, no eggs or bread. Sheesh.

I had to think "OCD" too when the woman was writing check after check until she got her "signature right"; my signature is an illegible scrawl at the best of times and I'm long past trying to make it look like letters.

But drugs only, no eggs or bread. Sheesh.

Am I a horrible person for wanting to send a carton of eggs through a pneumatic tube, just to see what would happen?

Hell, even bread might be fun.

Add some milk and cheese, and you could make quiche...

Love, Who?
*WHAM!*

Somebody sent a container of yogurt through the tube system here, and it didn't make it to the end before it exploded and leaked out the the container. They had to shut the entire system down for cleaning.

Yogurt! I hadn't even thought of yogurt...

This TOTALLY looks like a job for the Mythbusters; they could send a little camera through with the eggs to determine whether the vacuum pressure or the impact is responsible for the breakage...

Man, the prank value of this can't be understated. Bank pissing you off? Add an egg to your transaction...

(*koff*) And that would be wrong.

Love, Who?
