Closing Time...The Perfect Time To Run To The Pharmacy


Why is it that no matter how incredibly long the pharmacy is open, people will still wait until you have the doors shut, lights out, computers shut down, and registers counted out to show up banging on the door with a sob story about how sick they are? Do you really expect me to believe that you just barely realized you were sick and had to run to the pharmacy? If we were open 23 hours each day, I guarantee these people would show up at closing time and want their prescription filled.

It happened not once, but twice tonight....One person shows up 5 minutes after closing, and in the middle of helping that patient, a second person showed up. I guess I can't blame them. What?...We were only open for 10 hours today. I don't know how I could expect them to find some other time rather than 7:05 p.m. to make it down to the pharmacy for their prescription. I'm sure they weren't feeling ill at any other point in the day other than right at our closing time, right? And, of course catering to these people is MUCH more important than spending the few moments I have in the evening with my kids. Are people really this self-absorbed, or do they just not care? Don't answer that...
