Seeing Red.....

I'm feeling cranky....so while I'm in an irritable mood anyway, here's my handy guide to Not Annoying Your Local Pharmacy Staff....

1) Please do NOT come storming into the pharmacy, throwing your unsigned prescription at the girl on the counter, and yelling 'Hurry up with that - my car's on a yellow line'. (For some reason, behaviour like this always results in the prescription taking longer than it otherwise would have....)

2) Please do NOT shovel L'Oreal cosmetics down the front of your blouse and then get pissed off when I ask you politely to put them back. (Fourteen mascaras 'hidden' in your top is just ridiculous.)

3) Please do NOT get sarcastic with me when you don't like the advice I'm trained to give you. (Cold sores will not disappear within ten minutes of applying Zovirax - it's not a miracle cream, and there is nothing I can sell you which will make your streaming cold clear up by this evening. Sorry.)

4) Please do NOT shout at me when you want to buy a decongestant/co-codamol/Neurofen Plus/, and I ask you questions about what other medications you're currently taking. Even though you're an exceptionally rude person, I still wouldn't want to sell you a drug which might interfere with something else you're on........

That was my day. How was yours?
