I have been working at a pharmacy where the last pharmacist has moved on, and they can't get a replacement. She did everything for the customers. They tell me she never even took a break - maybe she left from kidney failure or just starvation.
All this has done is to give that store lots of customers who expect you to do everything for them. They are also probably the most rude bunch of people I have ever met! If you are gone for even 10 minutes for a bite to eat, the staff get grief from them. If there is a queue, just even a 5 minute one, they want to leave their script and expect one of us to drop it in to their house on our way home! Obviously I refuse, but this is what they expect because the last pharmacist was so passive she would agree to do that! Hell I have waited longer for a kebab!
Why do we seem to have so many people like this in pharmacy? Helping people is one thing, but when they just expect to treat you like trash, and walk all over you that's another. I once got reported at a large chain I used to work for, accompanied by a solicitors letter, because of a comment somebody made in the queue behind the person I was serving! How the hell can I be responsible for what other people say?
Why are so many pharmacists passive little mice? Is it the universities fault? Are they churning out wimps? What the hell's going on???
