Say what?

You've just chewed me out for waiting for your prescription, ... while I ran to catch the phone, type your prescription, count your pills, verify it with the pharmacist and run back to the cash... 
Next you load the counter up with 20 odd articles expecting me to ring them up with your $3.49 prescription, while 8 others sit in the waiting room waiting for their pain medication...
Say what?

Break Time

Breaks are fun, when you get them.
Today on my break, I got to sit and watch people have their passport photos taken while eating my snack in the lunchroom. This was followed by a wretched smell of someones foul smelling turds in our bathroom which we share...
Gross!
Note to self:  bring lysol to keep in locker so I can spray away those nasties and enjoy my break in peace.
