While I may be a pharmacy counting monkey, this technically happened outside of the pharmacy, but please move this if necessary.
After my shift I was waiting for my boss, K's, fiance to show up with their puppy so I could see how she'd grown. So I did my shopping and was waiting by an empty register with K, chatting about work, when a customer of ours walked in. She is known as Crazy Lady (CL).
Now, everyone in the pharmacy knows this customer, and she has an obsession with me because I was nice enough to buy some of her products.
CL: HI!!! *mumble mumble mumble* Did you like the earrings?
Me: Yes, very much so! (The earrings she is asking me about are a pair she pulled out of her own ears because I said she looked good in them, naturally I was freaked out and only took them because she wouldn't leave a couple weeks ago... naturally that should have been the hint to disappear whenever she showed up, but apparently my brain just doesn't work like that)
K: *giving me a wtf look*
CL: We're going to San Francisco! *Mumbles a lot more and pulls K and I into a hug, kissing me on my cheek*
Me: *traumatized for life* Cool! *mentally begging K for help*
K: *trying desperately to get her to leave* Your prescription is ready, but we're closed for the night! You can get it tomorrow morning!
CL: Oh of course I'll *mumble mumble mumble* need my medication! *mumble mumble mumble* San Francisco!
Thankfully K's fiance N walks in at that point. Unfortunately, CL takes that chance to hug me again, much to my awkward non-confrontational dismay.
N: *carrying the puppy* [puppy] says Hi!
K: *conveniently places N in between her and CL, and tries to get him in between me and CL, but fails*
N: *slightly oblivious at this point* See how she's grown! Here, hold her! *passes me the puppy*
Me: *trying to enjoy the cute puppy while avoiding the awkward invasion of my space by CL* So cute! (while thinking "Take then hint and leave, take the hint and leave!)
CL of course uses the puppy to get into my space more and I quickly hand the puppy back to N and say my goodbyes fast. But CL takes this time to grab K's hand and my hand and kiss both of them. Naturally K, N and I leave, but CL follows. She had absolutely no purpose in our store except to speak to us about absolutely nothing.
I walked to my car and CL followed partway.
After I got home I checked my texts to find one from K that said she and N had watched closely to make sure I had gotten to my car safe because they were afraid CL would try and kidnap me.
I understand that I live in a strange town, but holy schnitzel, this took the cake!
