So I've been awful at this whole keeping a blog thing, I doubt anyone cares though. But I will make a post today of why as a retail pharmacy technician I really hate Halloween.
First I work at a discount retailer won't say which, but we have a hefty halloween section right in my line of sight. I saw so many girls in slutty costumes I wanted to burn out my retinas because most of them had no business being in them. Plus everyone would like thier recreational drugs (also why I dislike New Year's Eve). It's sad when our supplier knows to send us two extra cases of Sudafed 24 Hour in preparation for the fantastic holiday weekend. Note: Meth users don't think you fool us when you come in line saying your buying for your grandma (which is illegal to purchase for anyone but a minor, opposite of alcohol huh), or when you come in line with the sniffles I will send you to the Benadryl faster than you can blink. And we know that hardly anyone in my area (redneck city) with no teeth would be caught dead buying name-brand Sudafed unless it was for the meth. Science quiestion: Why is the Sudafed 24 Hour the preferred pseudoephedrine product for meth users?
A: Because Sudafed 24 Hour puts the most pseudoephedrine in each tablet, meaning more pseudoephedrine in each tablet meaning less filler and garbage the meth maker has to get rid of in the process, meaning a simpler work-up and a higher percent yield (aka less likely to blow up house and more drugs with less shit to dispose of.)
But I digress, because not only do the customers come in cracked out but apparently so do some of the other employees at the store. Woman who works there, we call her Gustapo because she is in charge of the door and will stop little old grandmas with a case Boost because it's not in a bag. Well Gustapo has a lazy eye and is a little bit batty, classic old maid though somehow she reproduced, jury is still out on how the heck that happened. But she comes to work in a wedding dress, veil and all. And not a conservative one either, things that make you go blahhhhhhhh.
Back to recreational drug use, this happened to our newest pharmacy tech (let's call her Eva) and we shall tease her about it relentlessly. A wife comes in for the family meds, and on that list is her husband's Viagra. Which all of the ED medications are quite pricey, and so Eva tells her the cost and the wife asked which one cost so much. Eva says the Viagra is the biggie, and the wife says, "for that price it better be!" Sorry to disappoint you lady but Viagra just makes it go up, not grow up.
Thus ends my "Why I hate Halloween" post, tune in next year when I might possibly have another post.
