It turns out that not everyone is as pharmacy-savvy as I. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish our circumstances on anyone, but I wouldn't hate having a "Fast Pass" to bypass the line from time to time.
This evening, for example, I only needed to pick up one script - should be easy enough, right? Wrong. My fellow medication picker-uppers had an inordinate number of questions and/or problems and/or concerns. I have no questions, therefore would love to just grab and go!
Evidently with Thanksgiving coming up, our usual pharmacy staff has taken leave. This is sad news not only for the fact that I now have to spell first and last names, repeat birth dates, and home address multiple times, but also because I miss the four friendly faces that I am used to seeing. I wish my pharmacy family a wonderful Thanksgiving and remind myself that they will be back soon.
Also...this year I am extra thankful for familiar faces.
