Got embarressed refilling Viagra

[RSKY]

Called in a refill for my Viagra, I am getting older you know. Pulled in to the local CVS and walked back to the counter. Told the young lady, about 30-35 years old, my name and that I had a call in. She retrieved the package and walked back to the counter looking at the tag stapled to it. The conversation went as below.

"Mr. ####, you do know that this is not covered under your insurance?"

"Yes ma'am, I do know that."

"Well I wanted to be sure you knew before I rang in up. It is $208 for six pills."

So I explained. "I know it seems like a lot but those are 100mg pills and I only need 25mg. So I break the six in half twice and that gives me 24."

"Okay, that is good," was the reply.

"Yeah, 24 pills will get me thru four or five weeks anyway." I told her not smiling in the least.

She looked at me for a minute, I could see the calculator going in her head. Then she started smiling, then laughing. She couldn't finish the sale for a few minutes and everybody was looking at us. I never cracked a smile, just looked at her very serious like. Every time she looked at me she would start laughing. I finally told her that I really needed my prescription and that I was in a hurry. That set off another round of giggles.

She finally finished punching on the register and I paid. As I reached for the bag she reached out and patted my hand and started laughing again.

I never figured out what she thought was so funny.

Yeah me too. But that wouldn't have nearly as funny because she would have known you were lying. In this case, her uneasiness was because she was not sure if he was serious or not. Great Story!!!!

Sounds like she liked you! I wouldn't take any offense to how she reacted.

Contrast your experience with one I had, many years ago:
I had a part time job when I was 16, working at the local family run pharmacy in town, after school & on weekends. I made $1.97 an hour and thought I was on the fast track! There was a classmate of mine who was a real wise-*****, to say the least. He really had a hostile thing going with a regular customer, an old woman who always argued about the change we returned. She was just one of those unhappy souls you run into from time to time. One day, she ordered a pack of Philip Morris Commanders (cigarettes). Without skipping a beat, my classmate, with a straight face, asked "Will those be lubricated or unlubricated"? There was a few moments of complete silence as she processed the response. I instinctively took cover behind the Timex display. Then all he11 broke loose. That was his last day at the pharmacy, although the incident was always told, with glee, to any new hires.

lol, yes that is a pretty good one, I think I might have said something about the same.

Back 25 plus years ago, I was getting a new pair of glasses, had my prescription in my check book. Well I had stuck my check book in my inside jacket pocket. My buddy and I were in the eye glass place that takes an hour in the local Mall. It was just after pay day and first week of the month so the place was pretty packed.

Over came a good looking female worker in her 30's or so to greet us and asked if she could help us out. I told her sure need some glasses and pulled out my check book. Well one of those square packaged devices some how wedged into the check book and fell out as I opened it for my prescription. On instinct seeing SOMETHING falling she made a quick grab for it and it bounced off her hand once or twice as she almost juggled it around.

If finally fell to the floor at which point she grabbed it (still not realizing what it was.) She picked it up and held it out in front of her between thumb & finger for everyone to see. I could see her eyes re-focus on what she was holding out at arms length in front of her. Well she shrieked slightly (drawing even MORE attention than the commotion had done already) and tossed it up into the air. At this point she was back at juggling for it and managed to clamp it between her hands like a bug after several bounces. Everyone was now intently looking at her & she turned about 10 shades of red and laughed nervously, (still holding it in both hands like a butterfly) she handed it back over.

Yep my buddy was rolling by this time (I was pretty much un-phased cocky 25 year old,) I had something smart to say about going out that night & asked her if she had any plans . She ended up turning about 10 shades redder at that point and half the store was giggling... :/ I think she will never forget that day about like myself...

Pharmacies and small town........
Nowhere could you purchase birth control items as the priest would not allow the pharmacist to sell them.
Guys had to go to the next town!
