Plan B!

Two 18 year old girls purchased the morning after pill from the pharmacy today. I found this very interesting. Perhaps Mother's Day instills a real fear of actually becoming a mother. So, they panicked and quick ran to the pharmacy to buy the "plan B" $50 protection against motherhood. Oh, gosh. Happy Mother's Day?

I can't think of a good title...

Sometimes customers come up to my register with a bad attitude. They get frustrated over the cost of a prescription or something else that is equally out of my control. Sometimes they get angry at the credit card machine because it asks for their pin number several times. By the third or fourth time they are literally pounding the machine with the stylus. It's pretty hilarious. Yet, no matter how angry or frustrated some people get, a lot of them still manage to give the me the most genuine smiles and pleasantly say "Have a nice day!" at the end of the transaction. It surprises me every time. I wonder if they feel guilty for getting mad at me or just really hope that, although they aren't having a nice day, that I will. I just don't know.

Bomb Threat Checklist?

At the pharmacy where I work, we actually have two registers. The one is at the front of the store and the other is at the back. The one at the back is where the actual pharmacy part of the store is. Well, I was working at the front register one day, and I was really bored. So, I was looking around at all of the stuff under the counter. One of the things that I found was a "Bomb Threat Checklist". LOL! Like, what the heck?! It had all different sections that you were supposed to fill out if someone called in with a bomb threat. The sheet asked for the sex of the caller, the duration of the call, what the bomb looks like, where it is located, etc. Ok.... So, if someone calls in with a bomb threat, I am supposed to quick grab the checklist and then continue on to ask the bomber all of the questions on the sheet? Right. I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that if someone actually did call in with bomb threat, filling out a checklist would be the last thing on my mind. Plus, we don't have a checklist in the pharmacy. So, what are we supposed to do? "I'm sorry. Unfortunately, we keep the bomb threat checklists at the front of the store. Could you please hold for one second while I transfer your call?" Once again, I don't think so.
