Some more favorites...
At the drive thru, a man came through to pick up his rx. I saw that it was for a ton of Viagra and was like $689.
Me: Sir are you aware of the price?
Man: Yup. *Pulls out a roll of hundreds and hands me seven*
Me: Are you sure? You don't have to get the full quantity now.
Man: Trust me. Tonight will make it all worth it.
WAYYY too much information...

At my store, you can buy needles without a script as long as you have some sort of proof that you need them for a medical reason. It can be anything--you have previous needle scripts on your profile, an insulin rx from another store, a medical card, whatever. Just give me something to work with. So I'm at the drive thru again and two guys pull up.
Guy: Hi I need two needles.
Me: Ok, have you filled with us before?
Guy: No but I think my brother has.
Me: Are the needles for him?
Guy: No they're for me and my friend here. We need to give ourselves vitamin shots.
Me: *rolling eyes* Vitamin shots, of course, do you have some sort of prescription for those that I can see?
Guy: No it's at home.
Me: Sorry I can't sell these then.
Guy: C'mon baby, just do this for us and we'll take you out and buy you a beer when you get off!
Because I'm just dying to get intoxicated with two random junkies I met in my drive thru...

Guy: Hi I need to get my nasal medicine refilled. I think it's my Xanax.
Me: Are you maybe thinking of Xopenex or something? Because Xanax isn't a nasal medicine. (He had both on his profile)
Guy: Yes it is. It helps my nose. Aren't you supposed to know that?
Me: ......it's not a nasal medicine.
Guy: You're not a pharmacist. Ask the pharmacist. She'll tell you.

This one taught me just how important counseling can be...
An elderly man came in to get his Ultram refilled. He was given 270 of em (a three month supply) and he was coming in about a month and a half early. I told him he was way too early and should have plenty left. He argued with me that the doctor only wrote him a one month supply and he was totally out. I pulled up the original rx image to show him that it was in fact a three month supply. The sig on it was Q8H.
Guy: See!! I told you! I'm supposed to take 8 a day! That is NOT a three month supply!
Me: Sir....that means take one every 8 hours...please tell me you haven't been taking 8 a day.
Guy: NO it means TAKE 8 A DAY!!!
Me: Please step over to the consultation window, I really think you need to have a chat with the pharmacist.
Guy: *mumbles something about me being incompetent and storms off*

Guy at consultation window: My grandson has problem. It's his little pee-pee. It burns.
Pharmacist: Oh, like a UTI?
Guy: Yes, that. I am going to put baking soda on it. (what the hell?)
Pharmacist: No, don't do that. Take him to the doctor, he needs antibiotics.
Guy: Those don't work. Where is your baking soda?
