A Spoonful Of Vodka Helps The Medicine Go Down
Extra Stupid, Health & Body, Pharmacy, UK | Right | March 29, 2019
(A customer comes to the counter with three boxes of different medicines. I inspect them.)
Me: “I’m sorry, but I’ll only be able to sell two of these to you. This one should have the same effect and this one… I would recommend putting this one back.”
Customer: “Just sell me all of them.”
Me: “I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
Customer: *huffs* “Just put them through separately. The register should let you do it.”
Me: “No. I’m not legally allowed to sell you all three. It could be life-threatening if you take all of them at once.”
Customer: “No, it isn’t. I have a friend who mixes them all the time and chugs a load of vodka. Knocks her out for several hours. Great stuff!”
Me: “…”
Customer: “I… I shouldn’t have told you that?”
Me: “No.”
Customer: “You’re refusing my service?”
Me: “I’m afraid so.”
Customer: *leaves looking utterly distraught*
