Pet Peeves: June 2022

Impatient Patients

Individuals who ask whether the terminal is open when you have been open for 5 minutes.

Chatty Cathy

Customers in the passenger window who try to talk to pharmacy employers in the drive through.

Dr No

A physician submits a prescription with no directions, so the pharmacist calls to clarify the script, and the patient gets mad and says, “I’ve been taking this medication for 10 years, twice a day!”
