It will be in place so the staff come across as your best friends as thats what has been determined is the new way in customer service plus ensuring they dont get sued if someone takes a pill and gets ill.
If ever you get annoyed just whip your trousers down and ask for their opinion on a matter.

Offline Similar to your problem, my garden has SO MUCH DOG S**T in it. And, yes, we have a dog but we ALWAYS pick up his s**t. So that means people realise we are not home, go in our garden and tell thier dog to s**t.

Similar to @meanmistermustard’s complaint about staff in banks and shops slowing things down because of wanting to chat when you just want to get in and out.
I went to the chemist this morning to pick up my prescription. It was all ready as my doctor had sent it through electronically yesterday. Should have just been able to just walk in, have them handed over, and walk out. But could I?
The chemist turns around and says they have a new directive where they have to ask how I’m doing with them.
I say, “Fine, thanks.” He then opens the bag and pulls out the first of the seven drugs I’m taking at the moment and asks how I’m doing with it.
It’s the blood pressure tablets my doctor prescribed yesterday. “Yet to find out,” I tell him, “just prescribed yesterday. I discussed all my drugs with my doctor yesterday, thanks very much.”
“But I have to do this,” he says, as a queue is forming behind me, and he pulls out the next drug. “We’ve been told to. How are you doing with these?”
I do not want to have to discuss my medication and what it’s for with the chemist, especially when there’s other people waiting and overhearing.
And even if I was getting side-effects from one of my drugs, which I’m not, apart from sleeping lots, how would I know which one? Those are discussions to be had with my doctors, and I don’t want to be forced to discuss my health issues in the middle of a busy chemists.
Felt like snatching them out of his hands and running out of the chemists, but instead had to stand there and have him go through all my medications, with me giving monosyllabic grunts of “Fine” just to get the barsteward to give them to me.
Feckin’ ridiculous!!!
Was it Boots?
Here are the bullet highlights:
–Medicine-use reviews are carried out by pharmacists on patients who have just come out of hospital, with specific diseases or on high risk drugs
–NHS pays pharmacies £28 a review but caps total number at 400 per store
–Email shows Boots managers urging staff to review at least 400 people
–Could earn chain almost £30 million every year across its 2,500 UK stores

Surely since the Pilgrims sailed West from Europe and arrived on the East Coast of the North American continent, the Pilgrims should be facing the opposite direction in this picture. The way the picture is, it looks like the Pilgrims landed on the West Coast of N.A.

Maybe whoever painted the picture was doing so using a mirror.
Or it was done to make onlookers question the subject of the painting and reflect upon the whole Pilgrims deal

Exactly what I was thinking. For some reason it made me think of the old TV show Murder, She Wrote. The setting was a fictional coastal town in Maine, but was filmed in California. With the proper camera angles, it always looked like the East Coast.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

meanmistermustard does live in Scotland, @Starr Shine?, and health is one of those powers devolved to the Scottish Government. So, the Scottish healthcare system, of which pharmacy is a part, is completely separate from the English healthcare system.
Not that that makes the English approach any better, as I remarked earlier in the week. In fact, to order repeat prescriptions and make appointments online, you have to register at your GPs that you want to access those services to be able to access them.

Its due to something called ‘Patient Access‘ which looks to be some kind of database which is throughout the UK hence why I need to be in England to register if I haven’t first seen my Doctor to get a letter with a code on it.
Somehow that method has been deemed far easier than the old way of clicking on a link and then filling in a form online.

But the artist should have known that the world would revolve around *me* and painted as though someone in Mississippi (where I was as a little girl learning about the Pilgrims) were viewing the sceen…looking North. LOL.

Offline Here is one, it’s quite a dark-themed Pet Peeve but it has been really annoying me for the past couple of months and it’s something my friends are saying quite a lot
“I would rather kill myself than *insert something stupid that anybody can do it’s just you’d rather not do it”.
It isn’t just that saying though, I was talking to my friend after the Easter break and I asked her how she got on during it and whatnot and she said “Well I was going to kill myself before I came here but now I’m here it’s alright”.
Note: They aren’t saying it in a serious way at all, it is as a jokey- ha-ha thing but I just do not find it funny. Suicide isn’t a joke, it’s a serious matter and the fact that everytime they don’t want to do something they say they ‘want to kill themselves over it’ really pisses me off.
A couple of years back I had a friend who just had a mental breakdown, she started starving herself, she became depressed, had anxiety, she had could have been self-harming for all I know and she really was near the end of her tether. I used to call around to her house everyday after school because she wouldn’t go in and we’d just talk crap for an hour or two just so she’d have some company from someone who wasn’t family, a doctor or a therapist.
And the fact that they so casually throw around ‘suicide’ as if it’s a joke, it really, really annoys me and I kind of just want to say “just shut up” about it.
Gah, this has been annoying ASJ for a while, so that’s why I posted it.
I have another pet peeve about people throwing around the words “anxiety” and “panic attacks” as if it means you were just ‘slightly nervous’ but that’s for another day I think.

Offline Now because nobody likes following the depressing posts, I’ll add a few more light-hearted pet peeves:
-Idiots who cross the road without looking left and right.
Ma gherd is it that difficult?!?
-When you’re eating chocolate, some of it falls onto your clothing, it melts and leaves a stain 🙁
– When people ask stupid questions.
There is a girl in my French classes and after every. single. lecture. she goes up the lecturer and asks them stupid questions that she would know the answers to if she was paying attention in the lecture. Although I guess I’m lucky that she doesn’t ask them during the lecture 
– When you go onto a website and unbeknowst to you a pop-up has appeared in the background and it’s one of the ones with sound and it scares the living daylights out of you.
Phew, I think that’s all for today.
