On the way home last night I ran into the pharmacy to pick up my drug refills.
My pharmacy (as most) is set up with two windows, one for 'Drop-off' and one for 'Pick-up'.
I got in line at the pick-up window, where there was a lady already waiting. This lady was standing all the way at the counter, while I went and stood behind the red 'privacy' line about 3 ft back.
There seems to have been only one person on duty, and she was helping an elderly lady at the drop-off window with lots of questions.
The lady in front of me was clearly impatient. She was tapping her fingernails and her keys on the counter. She was also shiffting from foot to foot, loudly shighing and huffing and puffing while glaring over at the drop-off window. Then she started fake clearing her throat, while the tapping and huffing got even louder, with a few "I can't believe this" and "This is rediculous"thrown in.
I had only been there for maybe 5 minutes, enjoying the impatient show (and trying to word in my head how I'm going to post this for the peeps), when Mrs Impatient loudly huffed and puffed her way over to the drop-off window and stood right behind the elderly lady (not behind the privacy line there) with more foot shiffting, key jingling and even louder hrumphing.
Mrs Impatient was so focused on showing her displeasure and making as much noise as possible and glaring down elderly lady and pharm tech, that she did not notice another employee coming out of the back, recognising me, grabbing my prescription and stepping up to the pick-up window with "Hi Mrs. X, there ya go. Please sign here."
I stepped up to the counter to sign. At that point my movement must have been caught by Mrs. I out of the corner of her eye. Her head whipped around, there were death rays shooting from her eyes and the steam out of her ears propelled her toward me with a loud "This is f-in bullsh!t" followed by a really loud frustration grunt.
Poor pharm tech just looked like a deer in headlights.
I made sure to pay my $1.99 co-pay in exact change which I had to dig out of the bottom of my purse.
Mrs. I just about popped a vein. I hope she was there to get her Valium refilled.
Huffing and key jingling never work. She should have yelled loudly "I am more important than everyone else so please stop helping that old lady and wait on me"!
