That is what I'd like to think. People have made it a habit to call up with strange questions that have no answers. They use me as a sounding board to confirm their own postulations. This is nothing new to pharmacy, mind you, but I've noticed a steady increase in these types of people the last couple of months.
Do you want to know why? Well, I will tell you.....just as soon as I figure it out. Actually, I can't wrap my skull around why any of these mutants call me. Here's an example.
A lady calls me and drones on for about 30 seconds about how she's been to our store before, and how she picks up prescriptions and she was there last week and how it was so busy and how she got a prescription for her husband (poor fucker) and how.......WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION MA'AM? Oh....well.....my husband (poor fucker) has a cold sore. THAT'S NOT A QUESTION. WHAT'S YOU'RE QUESTION? Oh, well my husband's cold sore, uhhh, what, uhh, what's good? I'M NOT FOLLOWING. This witty repartee went on for a good little while. I don't recall how it ended, I try to block out painful memories.
So, the next time you're in the drive through and your shit's not ready, remember the lady with a question that doesn't have a question. It's not my incompetence or even the doctor's, but it's the time-waster's fault. So pull around and simmer down.
