Spoon-Feeding You Some Advice
Extra Stupid, Health & Body, Pharmacy, USA | Right | May 9, 2018
(Sadly, I’m the stupid customer in this one. I have bronchitis and have just made it home from the pharmacy with my cough syrup. When I open the bag, I notice the cup that you use to take the medicine isn’t in there, so I call the pharmacy.)
Pharmacist: “Thank you for calling [Pharmacy]. This is [Pharmacist]. How can I help you?”
Me: “Hi. This is [My Name]. I just picked up my prescription for [cough syrup], and when I got home I saw that it didn’t have the cup thing you use to take it with.”
Pharmacist: “I’m sorry, [My Name]. Do you want to come back and pick one up?”
Me: “Well, I have to take the bus, and I don’t want to get everyone else sick, too.”
Pharmacist: “Okay, well, do you bake?”
Me: *slightly confused* “Yes?”
Pharmacist: “Then you can use the teaspoon measuring spoon from your baking set.”
Me: “But… but… I need medicine teaspoons, not baking teaspoons.”
(She then proceeded to calmly explain to me that teaspoons were teaspoons, no matter what they were used for.)
