I went to do an act of kindness for my daughter, I went to pay for her meds, and the pharmacy started to give me shit, this is what made me mad....they were ALL women! I am thinking good...my feminist side coming out...but NO they are dismissing me until WGB asked WHY...suddenly every thing "I" was friggin asking was ok! They wanted me to leave my credit card on file! I don't do that for MY meds! That would be a hell no...so when I said what about cash...I get the stupid blank look until WGB asked WHY?
I was NOT happy!
I think it was a cultural subservient thing with these women working there...and it just made me so spitting mad that they would do what a MAN asked but not what another WOMAN was asking! GRRRRR
Then I get this, oh she doesn't have insurance...I raised my eye brow...and instead of saying it just thought it, "Oh no! She HAS insurance I am just fucking rich and wanted to pay for it!!! Dumbass!" Instead I gave the RAISED EYE BROW look!
There would have been NO PROBLEM if I paid for the meds and LEFT WITH THEM! But because I wanted to pay for them and HAVE HER pick them up I got issues! Grrrr And they wonder WHY they have issues at that Pharmacy!
At the end I said to the gal, I have NEVER HEARD of anyone REFUSING money for their company! I figured in the end YOU would take it! And walked off! (Raising my eye brow all the way out the store!)
Then my daughter told me they gave her attitude! I will sleep on whether I will go to a HIGHER up the chain to chew on some ones ass tomorrow! WHY make things hard people? I just don't get it! I told HER not to make a stink...but I just may! I don't need her following my bad habit of being ASSERTIVE! RAISED EYE BROW!

Gotta love what my husband calls it..."clerk mentality". Ugh.

As my sister always says, "incompetency abounds". When coupled with sexism (same sex no less!), it's just TOO infuriating!
Maybe a call to the Action Line on the local tv news station? Ya know, where they expose rip offs or STUPID situations w/stores, etc.
