The S In Sav-On Is Scarlet!

Last night Rob and I went to Burger King for dinner and then made a stop off at the drug store. *sigh* There's a reason why the S in the big neon Sav-On sign is red. I think you have to be officially retarded to work behind the pharmacy counter there.

Stupid person number 1: The pharmacy intern from USC behind the counter. If this is what our future pharmacists are like, I'm scared. Then again maybe you don't need a keen grasp of the alphabet to become a pharmacist.
After waiting in line forever I finally get to the pharmacy counter. The pharmacy intern behind the counter asks my last name. I give it to her (it starts with a B). She then proceeds to look through the last name section of A's. It's not there. She asks again. I tell her again, she then looks through the Be section and not the Bo section. This happens four or five times. She asks when I called it in. I tell her 3pm and it was supposed to be ready by 6pm (it's currently 7:30pm). She looks again. Still can't find it. She tells me it wasn't called in or isn't ready. I tell her it should be there so she asks for my phone number and wanders away. About a minute later she comes back with it. I tell her I also need lancets and then need to explain to her what they are. Finally, she puts the strips and the lancets into a little pharmacy basket and tells me to wait for the cashier.
As I'm waiting in line for the cashier, the woman behind me in line steps up. I hear her give the last name of "Booth". I joke with Rob that this is going to be bad since it's another "B" last name. Sadly enough, this future pharmacist goes through the SAME THING with the woman behind me in line. I guess USC's School of Pharmacy really has low standards these days.

Stupid person number 2: The woman checking out in front of me. After making her purchase she realizes she didn't sign her credit card receipt. The retarded cashier (who will be stupid person number 3) tells her she did sign it... until she looks through her drawer and realizes that no she didn't. The woman then says she never received the slip to sign even though she's holding it in her hand. It takes awhile, but eventually the two of them realize this and she signs it and leaves.

Stupid person number 3: The cashier. See above for the first reason. When I get in line, she's about to check me out with a few bottles of pills. I let her know the test strips and lancets are mine. She rings up the strips and some alcohol wipes I brought to the counter with me and then gives me my total. I've bought these exact items before and the total has always been higher. I ask her if she rang up all the items and if the total is correct. She says it is. I ask if she rang up ALL THREE items. She blinks and looks confused. I tell her I'm checking out the the alcohol wipes (which she rang up), the test strips (which she rang up), and the lancets (which she didn't). She then asks if I want the lancets as well. I tell her yes, that would be why they were in the same basket as the test strips. That's when the lightbulb goes off over her head. "Oooooooooooh, okay!"

You know, Gabriel can hear everything that goes on outside of the womb, if I keep running into this many stupid people he's never going to want to come out of there.

I had my doctor's appointment today. This is already a long entry and I don't feel like typing the night away. I'm not in labor yet. You'll just have to wait until I post tomorrow to find out about the appointment.
