Crayons?

You came storming into the pharmacy with your 3 children. They were already at the back of the store before you were half way down the aisle. Screaming and hands flailing, things were clearly out of control. For that one moment, the entire staff in the prescription department came to a grinding halt to see what the noise was all about.


While your children were banging on the blood pressure machine and tearing magazines you yelled at our pharmacist to get crayons for your unruly children! Are you serious?


I stood there in disbelief, wanting desperately to say something. Luckily for me a client I was serving looked at you and said, "Do you think this is a Day Care Center?".
Awesome! I could have kissed her for reading my mind.


You told us to hurry the prescription up, you didn't have time to wait. As with all prescriptions, we did our best and completed your order.


When I got up to the cash, you started to question me whether or not your husband needed these 3 prescriptions only after you saw they were $63.87.  I told you I imagined he did seeing how a doctor examined him and wrote the prescription up.
He had a very bad sinus infection and you still doubted he needed the cortisteroids.
I casually mentioned from the sinus things can spread up to the brain if left untreated.


It was your next reply that still haunts me.
"Would  you pay for medicine for your husband"? 
I quickly replied I sure would at any price as well.
You then said to me, "No man is worth this".


Wow.
What about the $143. worth of cosmetics you just purchased? 
Should I charge you for the damages your children made while you left them unattended?


What about the mental damage you've done to your children now? They heard everything you said about your husband. 


Just another day.....
