she looked pregnant i swear!(not me but a collegue)i work in a well known phamacy named after popular footwear and well... we have to ask certain questions and do checks before we let people have certain medicenes. Now i was doing some training in my healthcare book and my friend was giving me a hand, then this one girl comes in and ask for a packet of extra strong painkillers. to show me how to put my healthcare theory into practice my friend reads the back and it said 'do not give to pregnant women'. I thought she was pregnant as she looked rather like it. and i can only assume that my friend did too. so she said'I'm sorry madam you can't take these if you're pregnant.'
*a deathly silence*
'I'm not pregnant.'
my friend went three shades of beetroot and i had to go and stand in the dispensery to stifle my laughter.
oh and another time a lady in a wheel chair came in and i said 'dont forget to look on the disabled counter, you might find some real bargains.'
She looked at me like i had just threatened to rape, murder and pillage her family.
i ment reduced counter. >.<
