Its interesting what I see at work...

• A elderly man wearing a sneaker on one foot and a pink ladies jandal on the other.
• A dude in his late teens scouring the pavement for cigarette butts, picking them up, lighting and smoking them. EWW!
• A woman came in to inquire how much it costs for ear piercing... when informed its $20 she said she'd be better off doing her daughter's ears herself. Great idea, she'd enjoy it so much more with non sterile practices and probably without the necessary equipment by someone who doesn't know what the fuck they're doing.
• A middle aged man being arrested by the police over the road. It took 3 cops to get the handcuffs on him and into the car. He fought them all the way.
• A woman coming into the pharmacy with a cut on her finger going right though to the bone. She wanted a plaster :|
• A elderly man coming into the pharmacy with a cut on his hand dripping blood everywhere. On closer inspection it was discovered he'd sliced off part of his hand with a wood working tool. He wanted a plaster too, he got an ambulance instead.
• A woman came in wanting a fake tanning product for her face. I told her only Loreal had a specific product for the face. She was really rude and bought a Nivea body fake tanning product instead. A week later she was back, turns out the Nivea didn't work so good on the face. She was nice as pie, went home with the Loreal product I originally showed her.
• A very young teenage boy was loitering around the hair products looking very uncomfortable. When approached he sheepishly asked whether we sell the Emergency Contraceptive Pill. I asked him who its for and he answered his girlfriend. I told him his girlfriend needed to come into the pharmacy to speak with the pharmacist as he needed to ask her about menstrual cycles and the like. This seemed to embarrass the poor kid even further. So I suggested if she didn't feel comfortable coming in to talk to the pharmacist that she go to either the family planning clinic or the sexual health clinic at the hospital. I hope they did actually do something, crossing your fingers and hoping for the best isn't always the best move.
• A guy didn't like the fact he had to pay $3 for his prescription so started spouting a whole heap of 'Heil Hitler' and 'Seig Heil' shit. He left without paying and without his medication.

• A woman came in with a prescription for asthma pumps. The particular one she wanted requires a specialist number. Her specialist number had expired. The pharmacist could only dispense one pump as an emergency dose. She was told to ring her doctor and ask him to reapply for the specialist number and once that number was provided the pharmacy would dispense the rest of her pumps. She thew a hissy fit. A couple of hours later she came back with her husband. He yelled abuse at the pharmacist, threatened to go to the newspaper and created quite a scene. We ended up calling the police and got a trespass notice served on him.

And thats only with three weeks full time working. Theres some weird and wonderful people in Tauranga!!
