Recipe For Disaster
PHARMACY | RIGHT | JULY 14, 2011
(A customer comes up to the pharmacy counter. Keep in mind, Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) is controlled in all 50 states as it is used to make methamphetamine.)
Customer: “I need some Sudafed.”
Me: “Did you want Sudafed or [store brand]?”
Customer: “What’s the difference?”
Me: “The active ingredient is the same but sometimes they change the inactive ingredients. It still works the same though. Plus, [store brand] is about 5 bucks cheaper.”
Customer: “The recipe said I need Sudafed.”
Me: “…”
Customer: *realizing what she said* “Um, s***. Never mind, I got to go.”

This Customer Has Trouble Written All Over Him
FUNNY, HEALTH & BODY, LIARS/SCAMMERS, NEW YORK, PHARMACY, STUPID, USA | RIGHT | APRIL 3, 2011
Customer: “I’d like to buy some syringes.”
Me: “Can I see some ID?”
Customer: “They’re not for me, they’re for my dad. He’s a diabetic and needs them for his insulin.”
Me: “Okay. I still need to see some ID. Do you know his date of birth?”
Customer: “I’ll never forget his date of birth. I had it tattooed on my arm the day he died.”
(The customer proceeds to show everyone in the pharmacy the tattoo of his deceased father’s DOB–the same father that he is trying to buy syringes for.)

Hard Drugs And Harder Pharmacists
CRIMINAL & ILLEGAL, EDITORS' CHOICE, NEW JERSEY, PHARMACY, PHYSICAL, USA | RIGHT | JULY 31, 2009
(A teen approaches my cash register very slowly.)
Me: “Can I help you?”
Customer: “Give me all the f****** medicine!”
(The teen pulls out an airsoft pistol with orange tip still glued to the front.)
Me: “The pharmacy is in the back of the store.”
Customer: “Oh… okay.”
(He holsters the airsoft gun in his belt and darts down the aisles to the back of the store. My manager comes out of the back room because of the commotion.)
Manager: “Who was that?”
Me: “Some kid looking for drugs. He went back to the pharmacy.”
Manager: “Why didn’t you call the police?”
(The teen runs screaming from the back of the store, out of the front door, followed closely by the pharmacy technician, a 35-year-old boxer built like a fridge.)
Me: “Doug started working today.”

There’s No Pills Like Home
EDITORS' CHOICE, PHARMACY, STUPID | RIGHT | JULY 17, 2009
(A patient called in to inquire about the medication she has just picked up.)
Me: *on the phone* “Pharmacy.”
Patient: “Hi, I just picked up this medication, and I think I may have a problem.”
Me: “Is there something incorrect with how it was filled?”
Patient: “No, it’s just that the cream here says to apply locally, and I’m going out of town tonight. I was wondering if I could still use it.”
Me: “Um… yes. Yes, you can.”
Patient: “Oh, okay, good… Oh… Oh, God. I just realized… Oh, my God, just forget I asked! How stupid of me

TMI Mom Tries To Help
PHARMACY | RIGHT | JULY 6, 2009
(A forty-something year old woman comes to the counter with her purchases. Amongst them is a box of condoms, which have security stickers on them. Before I scan the item, I swipe it a few times over the scanner to deactivate it.)
Customer: “Is it not scanning?”
Me: “No, I’m just deactivating the security sticker. I don’t want you to set off the alarm on the way out. Especially over condoms!”
Customer: “Oh I’m not embarrassed! They’re not for me, they’re for my son. I can’t even get an erection!”

Script Stupidity
HEALTH & BODY, PHARMACY, STUPID | RIGHT | MAY 28, 2009
Customer: *holds up two bottles* “What’s the difference between these two medicines?”
Me: “The one on the left is a capsule; the one on the right is a tablet.”
Customer: “I mean, which one would be better?”
Me: “They’re exactly the same medicine, just in different forms. Most people buy whichever one is easier for them to swallow.”
Customer: “That’s just stupid! How can you swallow a bottle?”

Me: “Sorry, we’re closed. Maybe you could come back in the morning.”
Customer: “No! I can’t wait that long-this is an emergency! Please help me!”

Me: “Wow, what happened to you?”
Customer: “I tried to go to your other location and it was closed!”
Me: “That location is flooded, sir. There’s about four feet of water surrounding it.”

Medication Frustration
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, HEALTH & BODY, PHARMACY, STUPID | RIGHT | JUNE 28, 2010
Customer: “I’m picking up a prescription for [Name].”
Me: “Okay. Just a second.”
(I check the drawer for the prescription and can’t find it.)
Me: “When did you order it?”
Customer: “Well, I saw the doctor on Monday.”
Me: “So you came in on Monday?”
Customer: “No, I went to the doctor’s on Monday.”
Me: “Okay, so when did you drop your prescription off?”
Customer: “What do you mean? I went to the doctor.”
Me: “And did he give you a piece of paper that said what drugs you needed?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Me: “That’s a prescription. You need to bring it here so that we know what you need.”
Customer: “But I saw the doctor on Monday! Why didn’t he do it?”
Me: “That’s not his job. That’s what pharmacists are for.”
Customer: “So, what, he’s a doctor but he’s not a pharmacist? Look, I saw him on Monday so he probably just did it then. You’re just not looking hard enough. Look for the things done on Monday!”

The Truth Is A Bitter Pill To Swallow
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, HEALTH & BODY, PHARMACY | RIGHT | JUNE 25, 2010
Customer: “Why isn’t my prescription ready yet?”
Me: “We’re trying to get in contact with your doctor because of a problem with the prescription. Your profile says you’re allergic to penicillin. Is that correct?”
Customer: “Oh, yeah, that stuff is really bad for me!”
Me: “The medication your doctor prescribed has penicillin in it, so we’re trying to get a hold of him to find out what he wants you to take.”
Customer: “Oh, well, he wants me to take the penicillin. That’s what he wrote down, right?”
Me: “Yes, but you said you were allergic to it.”
Customer: “But he’s a doctor, so he knows what’s best. If that’s what he wrote, then just give me that.”
Me: “Well, we’ll check with him first to make sure that it’s safe for you.”
Customer: “Of course it’s safe for me or the doctor wouldn’t have prescribed it! He probably just cured my allergies. Check my old prescriptions; I bet he prescribed me something to cure my allergy!
