Strep. AGAIN.

  • Posted on April 14, 2009 at 11:31 am

I have strep for the second time in a month. The doctor asked me if I’d been exposed.

I looked at him over my glasses and said “I work in a grocery store”.

He nodded, sighed and handed me the script for my SECOND round of antibiotics.

So, my friends, hear my cry:

IF YOU ARE SICK STAY HOME!!!!!

Similarly – if you are sick, yet thoughtful enough to call the store and SAY “I am sick, do you have someone that can pull a few things for me?” most of the time we can accomodate you. However, the response to “I’m sorry ma’am, I won’t have enough staff to do that for another two hours” is neither Your competition would do it for me!!! or whining BUT I NEEEEEEEEED NOOOOOOOOOOOW!.

Yes, my competition would do it for you – it is a service they offer for a fee AND they have a staff member that is dedicated to meeting that need.

Is there anything more frustrating than deliberate stupidity?

Last night, I had what is quite possibly one of THE most disappointing conversations in my life:

Customer #1 – you should check out this website. It’s all about how Huckabee is going to abolish the IRS and put in a sales-based tax system.

Customer #2 – I’m not online. I drive a truck.

Customer #1 – Oh, wellthen – I do a similar job, and I’m able to get online through [digital device #1] and [digital device #2] when I’m travelling.

Customer #2 – (blahblahblah country music blahblahblah don’t like computers blahblahblah)

Customer #1 (to me) – You should go check it out.

Me – I will definitely do that, I’m online a lot more than you might think.

Customer #1 – If you don’t have time to get online, you can print it. And then you can give it to Customer #2.

Me to Customer #2 – If I print it, will you read it?

Customer #2 – All I know is gears and road and load.

Me – but if I print it, will you read it?

Customer #2 – I’d have to change glasses…

Me – If.I.print.it.will.you.read.it??!!??

Customer #2 – oh well I (insert absolute crap excuse here)

I’m not sure if that exchange disgusted me, disappointed me, or what. It certainly set the tone for the rest of my evening – and not necessarily in a good way.
