It's monday and it's flu shot season. Enough said…we are friggin busy. Along with all the other NORMAL crap we do, we are also adding drop in flu shots into the foray.
I had this LOL (little old lady) with nothing else to do waiting for her flu shot. I put her in the queue with all the others and she had to wait approx 15 minutes, which is normal for a monday. She poked her head into my door and huffed "am I ready yet?” and the tech said, “just a couple more minutes.” There are at least 6-8 people milling around the pharmacy area waiting for something. It's CLEARLY a busy place.
I get to her shot basket and head to the wait room. "Good! I am sure tired of waiting for this flu shot,” she retorted. Non plussed ( because I was snarky today) I said, '"Well, Louise, I am tired of working my butt off in this pharmacy today, wanna trade?”
It worked like a charm. She made a well timed attitude adjustment, I gave her the shot and we left as friends.
