Another Throwback Tales From the Pharmacy

Just when you thought that people couldn’t get any stupider, the world produced not one but three complete morons and dropped them on our doorstep today.

I submit example #1, a little old lady who was at the cash register with BossRPh.

BossRPh: This prescription is written for a 90 day supply of pills, do you want us to fill that much?

Lady: How long will that last for?

And later in the afternoon we had example #2, who I had one the phone. She called our store when she meant to get another store of ours up the road. I see that she jumps between 3 different stores, and that she’s got something waiting at the other one.

Me: What store did you mean to call ma’am?

Her: [audibly annoyed] THE ONE THAT I DIALED!

At some point in the day we also had a woman who got annoyed with Supertech, because neither of us is psychic and we were unable to pull her foster kid’s insurance info from her brain. When she dropped off the scripts on Monday, she told me that she’d just “got the kid” and didn’t have his card yet, but would come get the meds when she got the insurance cards in the mail this week. She came in this afternoon, without the cards, and expected the drugs to be run through the insurance using the info on the card that she received and then threw out. Because why would we need insurance info, right?
