I popped to the local pharmacy today. There was a sign on the door saying two customers at any one time. So I waited outside.
A pharmacy assistant came to the door.
“You have to wait outside you know, you can’t just barge in!”
I looked at her, a bit confused. “Yep I know, that’s why I’m waiting here.”
She asked me what I wanted. I said a pregnancy test. She took real umbrage to that. “THAT IS NOT AN ESSENTIAL ITEM! You can pick up a prescription or medication ONLY.”
I just looked at her. “Well I would like to see if I’m pregnant or not, please can I buy one or can I speak to the pharmacist?”
“I’ve just told you no. You shouldn’t be trying to conceive at a time like this anyway.”
I walked away at that point, came home and ordered one on Amazon to arrive tomorrow. I am left dumbstruck by this interaction. I was polite, I stood well back from her, I didn’t raise my voice. But it’s okay to be shouted at now? And being told I shouldn’t have a baby? Very bizarre.
