Hello? Life on the line here!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

As I mentioned in a another thread, on Monday we had a guy pass out in our pharmacy. He was completely out cold and makign snorting noises as if he was trying to breathe. I suspect he had a heart attack because another customer who happened to be right there was performing CPR on him.

Another customer wasn't so understanding. She bellowed to the people behind the pharmacy counter "Can't you roll him over to the side or something? I need to pick up my prescription!"

I guess that's the kind of thing you can say when you're not the one clinging to life, or know the person clinging to life.

Are you joking???

I mean, I know you're not, but for frig's sake, you have GOT to be kidding me! I think I'd have thown her into the street!

[ShortTemperHatesStupidity]

It's a shame they let people like that out in public with the rest of us respectful and situationally aware individuals.

Sucky pharmacy lady

I would have handed her the prescription, along with a request not to ever darken the doorstep of the store again. I also would have exercised my "right to refuse service to anyone."

I may or may not have even dug up her hardcopy for her. God, what a bitch.

"Certainly lady, just step right this way..."




You'd think she'd have just a /tad/ more respect for someone who's suffering.

[ToasterQueen]

That person is ripe for a GTFO.

And you just know that if somethign happened to her she would be wanting all the stops pulled out for her, regardless of how put out it makes everyone else.

Remember the Fire at Work Today thread, where you said

That reaffirms my faith in humanity a little bit.

and I said

I think at least when it comes to actual medical emergencies people tend to find their inner, well, human.

?

Well, I take that back.

"Can't you roll him over to the side or something? I need to pick up my prescription!"

"Me, me, me . . . Can't you see that I'm the one suffering here?" [/end sarcasm]

"Me, me, me . . .

What opera ya singin' there, you ungrateful cur?
/not usually a bitch...

[BusBus]

I betcha her prescription wasn't even those vital ones (i.e.blood thinners, heart meds etc....)

I'm speechless with rage towards that woman.

This seems like it would be a great source for song lyrics.

Specifically 'Why Does This Always Happen To Me?' by Weird Al.

Seriously lady, someone's possibly, ya know, dying. Your meds can wait five minutes.

Bonus points if it was a wrinkle cream or yeast infection stuff.
