Remember when you handed out a dozen packets of condoms in one day?
No? Well it happened to me.
I'm working at a certain pharmacy that will go unnamed. It's an uneventful day, but at around 12pm half a dozen school children show up. They're all asking for condoms. None of them look older than 12. However the pharmacy is obliged to provide free contraception, no questions asked. Here you go kids, have a good time...I guess.
5 minutes later, and more of the little ingrates appear. Guess what they're asking for? More packets leave the pharmacy.
In case any of you wonder, my job isn't just to give out condoms. If it were, then that would be the easiest £35K ever. I actually have real work to do. Checking prescriptions. Lots and lots of them.
Another group come into the pharmacy. I take a glance and instantly remember one of them came in earlier. This is getting quite irritating, because I have work to do. I confront the kid and tell him he was in 10 minutes ago. You can tell he's either very stupid or just not good at lying because he tells me he has a twin brother. More condoms are given out.
Am I the only one who thinks this is so wrong?
It's 4pm and despite the interruptions, the pharmacy is in a good place and the backlog is dwindling. I'm so pleased with myself I've forgotten about all the irritating stuff that's happened. Until more kids show up.
One of them is dressed in a wonsie. My stance on wonsies: anyone older than nursery age should not wear one. The only thing worse than a wonsie is a themed wonsie. Like the one I see in front of me. The kid looks like he walked out of an amateur theatre production of Lion King. This could be adorable if he wasn't asking for condoms, for the third time.
