Any of you guys that work in pharmacy notice how much birth control goes out on sundays?? You women really shouldn't wait until the last minute lol!

It's pretty much like this: Around noon the line forms... woke up late and hungover... sometimes wearing sunglasses... almost always on a cell phone and completely unaware a transaction is even occuring, or the other type nervously requesting her Yasmin feeling awkward that the "guy" is ringing her up lol....

Any other stereotypes to point out? This could be fun.

I have not notice the one about birth control....( or maybe i have not notice anything b/c most of those come by the drive thru..... )

but the one about Viagra....i have plenty of them

when i started working there it did not take me long to understand which drug the patient was talking about ....when he was saying " My doctor called it in and i want 3 of them .most ( more like all) of them would not say the word Viagra ever in their lives...

Ps: nothing wrong with taking Viagra PRN ...just to see how far people are willing to go just so that they don't have to pronounce the word Viagra is funny.....

You mean besides male "pharmacists" who think its a "stereotype" that women fill their Rx for birth control the day its due?

My favorite is the 30-something guy who comes in for his Viagra refill on Friday night. And the tech has to ask "Paying for this all together?" because, of course, he's buying a Mountain Dew (pun intended) and a box of condoms. Nothing says "Friday afternoon around 6 pm" like guy-who-doesn't-really-need-it standing at the pharmacy complaining about paying full price... or taking however many tabs insurance will pay for (whether its one tab or five), or paying cash for 5 and billing 5 to insurance... the possibilities are endless!

You were right about one thing... this IS fun!

I think I've told this story on SDN before, but the best Viagra episode was the guy who came in and was arguing with us about the price. While the pharmacist was trying out all of his 101 discount cards to see which one was best, the old dude was picking up on this older lady at the counter.

There was talk of champagne, strawberries and caviar. It was gross. AND I'm not saying that just cuz they were old. It was just too explicit for my tastes.

Yes, I have noticed this. My personal favorites are the ones who wait until Sunday, and then we get to tell them that they don't have any refills left (it says it right on the package they've just handed us) and we will have to contact their doctor tomorrow. Oh, the wailing that goes on - "but I'm supposed to start them today", like I don't know that since they've just handed me a completely empty package.

I'd say Cialis is favored 3 to 1 at my pharmacy. This one is true as well, generally before the weekend on a friday night... of course this is all tied in together with the need for birth control by sunday. I'm dying to open up one a those blue nuvaring boxes and see what the heck we're talking about here... doesn't sound fun at all.

The ED customers are either VERY meek or they won't shut up about it cracking jokes... no middle ground to be found.



Don't forget, "I lost my.. (insert your favorite: hydrocodone - clonazepam - carisoprodol)

My favorite ED customer is this one guy, mid-40s, kinda shady lookin' who doesn't want them in a vial. What we do is give him the vial and a little change envelope. He dumps the pills into the envelope and we shred the label.
