Pharmacy Pet Peeves

319. It always gets me when you ask a patient if they have filled a prescription at your pharmacy or in your system, and they respond with, 'no, but my husband/wife and kids have.'

320. A parent asking me to watch their child/children while they go to the bathroom.

321. A customer calling the pharmacy to ask what time their appointment is with the physician.
