A Game Of Kat And Birdie
PHARMACY | RIGHT | APRIL 5, 2012
(I work at a pharmacy and we are very busy, causing a few customers having to wait. The last woman in line finally steps up.)
Me: “I apologize for your wait. How can I help you?”
Customer: “Does your name tag say your name is Kat?”
Me: “Yes, ma’am, how can I help you?”
Customer: “Did you have some crazy new age parents or something? Why would they name you after an animal? That’s just dumb! You should have a good sturdy name, like mine!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but what can I help you with?”
Customer: “I need a refill.”
Me: “Of course. Can I get your date of birth?”
Customer: *gives me her date of birth* “And the prescription is under Birdie.”
Me: “Okay, it’s put in and will be ready in 15 minutes.”
Customer: “Thank you. I’m sorry you have such a foolish name.”
Pharmacist: “Did that woman just tell you your name was foolish and complain about people with “animal” names?”
Me: “Yeah.”
Pharmacist: “But her name was Birdie…”
