    more joys of working on Bank Holidays!

    ...You get to dispense handwritten scripts like this one, from the local eye hospital:
    "Betnosol skin cream 1/2%", for a patient who has red raw eyelids, like an albino Panda bear...

    [QUOTE=
    To give you a bit of background, this individual has a permanent hole in her groin, which she injects herself through. She showed me this hole once, and it was horrendous, all necrotic and had a very bad odour (you'll know what I mean if you have had any wound care involvement) with an anaerobic bacteria smell. She refused my advice to seek immediate medical help, but continued to use the scheme.

    The staff member said the addict lifted up her skirt, in front of everyone, and took a packed of bacon and cheese out of her knickers!

    What did the manager do? He just put them back on the shelf!

    I think it put me off my turkey that year.....

    Those holidaymakers have just plumbed new depths of cheekiness: I've lost count of how many times I've been asked to sell a single elastoplast, a single paracetamol tablet, even a single contraceptive pill; but today I was asked by a woman if she could just have ONE puff out of one of our inhalers...! Words failed me, apart from the obvious emphatic "NO!" and other expletives that I couldn't possibly repeat...!

    Oh yeah, all black and necrotic. It gets even better. She was also on the game! I found it hard to believe she could give it away, never mind sell it!

    this week's top soundbite from the counter:
    Man at counter: "my mate's got a cold, have you got a decongestant?"
    Healthcare assistant:" certainly. Is he asthmatic?"
    Man at counter: "No, he's Polish"

    You try keeping a straight face!

    had a customer in the other day complaining of thrush, I asked whether she had use anything etc. she went well............. "i thought all canestan products were all for treating thrush, so i saw some cream off the shelf in a supermarket and used it, i also saw a spray and used this aswell, after finally using it i looked on the label and realised it was athletes foot treatment" she started laughing after this and i couldnt help myself i laughted too . she then told me she was red raw

    how can anybody mistake using athletes foot treatment for thrush treatment lol
