(While I am answering the phone I have a huge annoying line and cannot really call for help for the line until K got back from using the bathroom. I am in the middle of helping a customer and cannot proceed until I ask her for her "Healthiness +" card. So I am sort of stuck. Thankfully, K comes back near the end of the call).

Ring ring ring ring ring the front end phone!

"Thank you for calling Aid of Rite, this is ralerin speaking, how may I help you?"

"*thick sounding, slow voice* Um. Yeah. Um...Is this the pharmacy?"

"No this is not and they have just closed for tonight."

"Oh. Um...I ne...I need some prescriptions."

"Well I am sorry but the pharmacy has closed for tonight. If you would like, they will be open 9 am tomorrow morning."

"Um...can you help me?"

"Me? Oh no I'm so sorry, the pharmacy has closed for tonight."

"Can you give me the hours? What time did they close?"

"They closed at 8 tonight and will open tomorrow morning at 9."

"Do you guys close?"

"No, we are open 24 hours. The pharmacy has closed for tonight."

"Oh...you guys don't close?"

"The store does not but the pharmacy has closed for tonight."

"Well...are there a...any 24 hour pharmacies in the area?"

"Yes, (rival Aid of Rite over the river) and (rival Aid of Rite off a large road)."

"Is Brooks Rite Aid?"

"Yes, they are."

"Ok...um...I...I'll try calling them..."

"Ok, which one?" (Both were former Brooks pharmacies).

"Um...*five second pause* (Rival Aid of Rite off a large road). Um...c-can you get my a...phone number?"

"Certainly!" *put on hold, call for Ih to get her the phone number so I can my fuscking line down!*

*

Fifteen minutes later, small line has formed again. As person closest to phone I answer it.

"Thank you for calling Aid of Rite, this is ralerin speaking, how may I help you?"

"*same exact person* Um...yeah...I...would like to order in some prescriptions."

"Oh no, we can't tonight, the pharmacy has closed."

"Oh. Um. Well...can...you tell me what your hours are?"

"Sure, on Saturdays the pharmacy is open 8-8..."

"Waita minute...*one minute pause, scramble for paper* Ok...can...yo...you tell me that again?"

"Sure. On Saturdays the pharmacy is open 8-8."

"8-8...ok...A...and on weekdays?"

"They are open 8-10..."

"*Pause*"

"......"

".............."

"................ma'am?"

"*SLAM PHONE HARD IN EAR*"

"GRRRRRRRR I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT!!! *customer in K's line gives me a WTF look*"

"What?" K asks.

"Slamming the freaking phone down in my ear and I wasn't finished with her!"

"Oh well." K says.

Bonus: Hyuck Hyuck Hyuck!

So I'm sweeping the rugs out front and the window washers are out front washing the windows. Woman walks right past me, sweeping the rugs, right up to the window washers and says,

"Oh! You guys can come to my house and do that for me!"

*RIMSHOT!!!!!*

Sometimes the phone volume huurrrtttss. I used to answer the phones, which sometimes had issues with volume control. Nothing like answering and physically flinching in pain so hard you almost drop the phone. Ouch. The next cashier over should not be able to hear the phone conversation because it's so loud.

[NateTheChops]

One thing I do not miss about Rank Aid is explaining to pharmacy customers that we cannot go back there when the pharmacy is closed.

[MaseMan]

"Oh! You guys can come to my house and do that for me!"

When I get stuff like that, my answer is always; "Sure. I work for $100 an hour, plus expenses."

[Kristev]

Usually asking "How much do you pay per hour" stops it when people bother me while I'm cleaning.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

"Oh! You guys can come to my house and do that for me!"

When I get stuff like that, my answer is always; "Sure. I work for $100 an hour, plus expenses."

I charge $1,000 per hour. So far nobody's taken me up on that yet.

[MoonCat]

I hate calls like that. It's like pulling teeth ask they ask the same questions Over. And. Over.
