Tales from the Pharmacy
Tales of woe, insanity and sometimes hilarious activities. It must be a full moon, right?
This is a collection of mostly scamdemic-related tales from the store and pharmacy I work at in Ohio. Most will leave you shaking your head, but if your sense of humor is not completely mainstream, you may also find some funny, as I do.
I started at my job at this store on the sales floor, not the pharmacy. We’re similar to a CVS. About the time it was announced the “vaccine” would shortly be available, management shifted me to a position that included answering the store phone. The location was right next to and in sight and earshot of the pharmacy.
That is when the fun really began…
“You will offer the ‘vaccine’ “
Although I’m sure the store would have volunteered, it was the state of Ohio that told us “you will offer the ‘vaccine’ ”. In other words, that crap was coming whether we wanted it or not.
It arrived in dry ice and had to be held at negative 60F. It was only good for 6 hours outside the freezer. If it sat out a minute longer, it had to be discarded. Actually it had to be sent back - we could not just throw it out - they wanted accounting for every single dose. Remember, the government OWNED this “vaccine”.
When the “vaccine” arrived, it came by armored car and with a security guard. I am not making this up. The driver would take a picture of our store manager with the boxes of the “vaccine” to prove it was delivered. It was as if they had something valuable.
Along with each shipment came boxes of accessories, such as needles in various sizes, CDC “vaccine” cards, propaganda posters, alcohol swabs, gloves, face diapers and some face shields. They sent way more boxes of accessories than “vaccines” and most of it wound up discarded. I know this because once the scamdemic was over, under direction from the pharmacist, I’m the one who discarded most of it out after taking out the few that might be useful. Our tax dollars at work!
“Go to the website to sign up”
As soon as we had a date for this “vaccine” arriving, our store dealt with the rollout in a very intelligent way. Rather than having a line through the store and out the door, as I heard a number of stores with pharmacies did in the area, they had people sign up on their website. A third party company would call to schedule customers for a specific date and time. This system kept chaos down and saved the staff’s sanity.
The customers, though, were not happy. They hated the unbelievably simple sign up form, which only asked for a name, birthday and phone. They hated waiting all at: they wanted the clot shot and they wanted it RIGHT NOW. They were mad that they could not come by the drive through to get it, mad that they could not just walk in, mad that they had to wait once they got there, and mad that the available times were limited because the pharmacy, along with the rest of our store, along with every other business, was short staffed. This fact did not stop people from being mad.
“I can’t use a computer!”
We had a number of people call the store who claimed they were unable to use a computer. I believed it if they were over a certain age. However, others would make comments about “I heard on Nextdoor that you have the “vaccine”...” or “I saw on Facebook…” but then couldn’t figure out the extremely simple form to sign up for the “vaccine”.
I call this laziness. I also call it tying up the phone lines, which led to the next scenario:
“The phones are down”
For the first 3 weeks of the “vaccine” being available, the phone rang off the hook and all lines were always tied up. People who could not reach the pharmacy would call the main store number and get mad that the pharmacy lines were busy because it was VERY IMPORTANT that they talked to the pharmacy right now about their precious clot shot.
One day we noticed the phones were not ringing. The entire system had crashed, I am assuming due to the number of calls. This happened at least four times and usually lasted for a few days.
Full confession: the pharmacy and store staff were completely blissed out.
When the lines came back up, the callers - all upset - demanded to know why we didn’t pick up the phone. When I honestly said “the phones were down”, they did not believe me. An older woman, likely in her 70s with bright lavender poorly-dyed hair and two face diapers, was so rabid she came into the store and yelled at me “How dare you not pick up the phone when people are dying from “covid”!!” I bit my lip to keep from laughing. She only believed the phones were down when I picked up the phone in her presence and was unable to make an outgoing call.
“Oh,”, she said, “I guess they are broken”.
No duh, lady.
“What do you mean I have to be at least 80?!”
Ohio had an age-tiered system for the “vaccine”. The death jab was first offered to 80+ year olds, then 75+. Along with this health care workers and those with intellectual disabilities/serious illnesses were in line…. precisely those who should NEVER have received this.
Anyhow, then came 70+ and school personnel. Another brilliant move! Then those 65+, then I think they opened it to everyone else 18+.
Customers blew up over this policy, which was Ohio’s, not ours. One woman got angry at staff because her husband was 75 and could get his, but she was only 72, so she had to wait to be “protected from the virus”. (Insert eye roll here.)
To make matters worse, even though the date came for a certain age to get their death jab, the store refused to let them until all of the older ones who wanted death shots had theirs. This led to a backlog of eager crazies. The majority of the melt-down phone calls we got were as a result of those in an Ohio-approved age bracket but that we would not serve because people were ahead of them in line who were older.
As a side note, all melt downs and insane behavior, without exception, were all from women. Not a single man had an issue. Most of these women were in the 25-45 age bracket. You would think post menopausal aged women (I am one) would be the craziest, but nope. It was a whole boatload of Karens descending on us daily.
“I need it NOW!!!!”
I can’t begin to tell you the number of people who believed that they were so special that they deserved to jump the queue because the virus was “killing us all”. These people didn’t want to listen, they wanted to bully. We got hysteria, tears, fury, begging, pleading, excuses, attempts at intimidation and lots of cussing, but at least no outright threats to staff or store property.
I should have kept a tally of how many times I heard “I need it now because [insert sob story here]!!” A few of these folks should have gotten a side job writing for soap operas.
Frankly, my thought was they were all too excited to die.
“He cannot consent”
This still makes me furious and makes me hate the people who are behind the scamdemic even more.
A man was brought in to our store by wheelchair. I’m guessing he was between 25-30 years old. He was clearly very mentally disabled. He was laying halfway back, looking up at the ceiling, covered in blankets, not having a clue where he was or what was happening. The family/morons with him, whoever the hell they were, filled out the consent contract for him to get his death shot. I became livid and had to walk away.
That man could NOT consent. He could not understand what was happening to him. He deserved to live. No one had the right to use that man as a participant in an experiment. No one!
Am I the only one who thinks this reeks of the Nazis?
I would be surprised if he was alive and healthily now. Obviously I hope he is.
“This is taking forever!”
The customers who managed to get an appointment were angry when they had to wait once they got there. I heard a lot of “This is taking forever”, “What are they doing in there?”, “They are sooooo disorganized!” and “This can’t be rocket science, people!”
For those that don’t know, there is a significant amount of paperwork and nonsense that has to take place when someone receives a vaccine at a pharmacy, and even more so with this “vaccine”. It’s not as simple as filling a syringe.
First, the “vaccine” has to be entered as a prescription in the computer. There are multiple stages to that. While this is going on, the customer has to fill out a consent form, which I have NEVER seen a single one read. It’s more like a contract than a consent form, especially since this crap was experimental. Essentially, they were agreeing to be part of an experiment. This completed form had to be scanned into the computer before anything else could happen.
Second, in the case of “covid”, there were also government requirements and local requirements for record keeping, which included recording the batch number of the “vaccine”, its name, date, time, which arm, etc. A “vaccine” card also has to be filled out for the patient.
All told, this mess took anywhere from 15-20 minutes per person, all while the pharmacist, which we only had one of at any given time, was also trying to deal with regular pharmacy business and the non-stop phone.
Then, the pharmacist got to fill death shots, go to the people, and ask them a whole list of mandatory questions. One question they did NOT ask was if the person understood that this was an experimental drug.
After the person got their clot shot, they had to remain in the store for 15 minutes to make sure they had no reaction. The pharmacy had on hand emergency directions and supplies to revive anyone in anaphylaxis. To my knowledge, thank God, no one ever needed that service.
Incidentally, if someone did have a reaction - now or later - it was mandatory for the pharmacy to report it to the CDC. The problem is the customer had to report problems to us in order for us to report it to the CDC.
Interspersed with this whole mess, there were mandatory government and health department logs of record keeping for the clot shots themselves: how long they had been in storage, the freezer temps every hour, expired or useless batches (due to becoming too warm), “wasted” doses, etc.
I don’t know how our pharmacists and techs kept their sanity.
“You can read my obituary in the newspaper!”
Shortly after the store started offering the “vaccine”, my coworker answered a call from an already hysterical woman who called the store line when she could not reach the pharmacy. She was not in the age bracket that Ohio had approved yet. When my coworker explained this, she got even more hysterical and started yelling, finally ending with “I guess you can read my obituary in the newspaper!”
It’s damn hard not to laugh at someone like this. She’s living proof that brainwashing works.
“I’ll die waiting!”
About a month into the program, a woman called the store line absolutely sobbing. She told me she had called and/or gone to 9 different pharmacies/places and couldn’t get her “life saving vaccine”. She claimed to have stood in line all day at two different pharmacies, three grocery/pharmacy stores, the health department, and a few other places. She said Walmart turned her away because they couldn’t get through the existing line before the store closed.
I told her to sign up on our website. She insisted we would not call her and sobbed “I’ll die waiting!!” I said we would absolutely call her but she had to be patient. She sobbed, “But what if I die waiting??”
How exactly the hell am I supposed to address that? I can’t remember what I said but wanted to tell her she was going to die AFTER waiting for her precious clot shot.
She sobbed through the whole phone call. I actually did feel sorry for her - not because she could not get her death jab, but because she clearly was in severe emotional agony.
I have to wonder if she’s alive or if she died from a stress (or “vaccine”) related heart attack. Hopefully she is ok.
Death (likely due to “vaccine”)
This is a true and very sad story. An older couple both got their “vaccine” at the store. The husband died within 24 hours. The wife blamed our pharmacist for his death.
This is awful, but it was their choice to take the death jab, not our pharmacist’s. Who is to blame? I’d say the bastards that released this untested, deadly shot that has clocked over 1.5 million reports in VAERS. I’d also say the bastards who pushed fear on the masses.
Regardless of whose fault it was, the man is dead and that is awful. Of course no one can prove it was from the “vaccine”, but that’s just one hell of a coincidence, isn’t it?
Rest in peace.
“I’m not giving that to kids”
So here’s some good news. Once this death shot was approved for kids age 12-15, one of our pharmacists flat out refused to give it to anyone that age. They said they didn’t think it was necessary and felt that the “vaccine” had not been adequately tested for children. No kidding! Really?!
So YES, there were pharmacists that refused. That person earned my respect and my trust that day.
There are good people out there.
Now, fast forward to 2023, and I am now working in that store’s pharmacy instead of right next to it. I moved there because I needed the money. The majority of scamdemic nonsense has ended, although there are still morons who want their “boosters”. We actually had one today.
Not much of the following is directly scamdemic related, but does show the resulting mindset of those who lived through the last 3 years of hell.
Disappointed
After the government changed the recommendations for who could get the “vaccine”, we had callers who were quite disappointed that the “vaccines” were no longer available for them. They were also mad that they were - in many cases - no longer free.
One woman asked me “Why can’t I get it when ‘covid’ is still out there and can kill you?” I had a hard time containing my expressions, which I am sure she could see right through.
How can anyone be this brain dead at this point? Someone please explain.
That’s a felony
The area of town our store is in has a high rate of drug abuse. Earlier this year, a person attempted to pass a fake script for a class 2 narcotic (class 2 narcotics include drugs like oxycodone and fentanyl, for example.) The pharmacist recognized it was fake immediately. The person said they would come back later to pick it up. The pharmacist called the police, then ran after the person to get their license plate. The police responded very quickly and caught them within a block of the store.
Attempting to pass a fake script is a felony and this person is looking at prison. Wonder if it was worth it?
Entitled Much?
Our pharmacy deals in both medications and at home health items, like walkers. All health items require a prescription if the person wants insurance to pay for them.
On average, 4 out of 5 prescriptions for drugs/health items are never picked up. Of the ones not picked up, 1 out of 10 are because the person can’t afford them. However, the other 9 out of 10 unclaimed scripts or health items are not picked up by people who are getting them at absolutely no cost whatsoever. Nearly every one of them is on public assistance, mostly Medicaid. They are literally being handed medication, a walker, or something far more expensive FOR FREE and can’t find a half hour to pick it up.
Others come through the drive through and scream at staff because there is a nominal co-pay on their prescription. They are covered in tattoos, are usually obese, and are smoking in a car I could never afford and talking on a new smart phone. They can afford the car, food, phone, tattoos, and smokes, but think they are entitled to free drugs that people who actually work have to pay for. It’s infuriating.
The people who don’t pick up things have wasted our staff’s time, the insurance company’s time, Medicare/Medicaid’s time, the doctor’s time, etc…. and we wonder why medical ‘care’, drugs and insurance costs so much.
“Jooooooooooooooe Biiiiidennnnnn!!!!”
The funniest thing I’ve uncounted was around May of this year, when an older male, probably in his mid 50s to early 60s, came through the drive though at the pharmacy. I rang up his prescription, told him the cost (which apparently had doubled from the last month) and he started yelling "Joe Biden! Joooooooooe Biiiiiiden!!!! He's the cause of all of this! Orange man bad, Joe Biden good!!!" He went on yelling this for a good minute while I'm trying to ring him out, desperately trying to keep my composure.
He also ranted that a quarter pounder with cheese was $5.69 and had doubled in price since 2019, then something about kids needing to use litterboxes because they identified as cats, all interspersed with yelling "JOOOOOOOOE BIIIIIDENNNNNN!!”
I had to turn down the volume on the mic twice since he was so loud the customers on the sales floor could hear him. I lost it laughing more than once. I told him if I was not on the clock I could tell him exactly what I thought.
He went on yelling about Biden for a while longer before leaving. I thought the whole thing was hysterical, but the new girl, who had literally started a few hours ago, appeared not to. The look on her face was absolutely priceless. Although she showed up at work the next day, she quit shortly thereafter. I’m not sure if it was that guy’s rant or something else.
Between his attitude and sense of humor, I should have gotten his number. That’s the kind of friend I’d like to have!
As a final note, today in the pharmacy was pure hell. It’s not a full moon or anything, so I don’t know why. The computers were slow and had glitches, phones rang all day, there were a lot of last minute rush requests, there were tons of script transfers (from one pharmacy to another), and just lots of scripts in general. People seemed more upset than usual. Some didn’t like the cost of their meds and wanted us to try every saver method we had (think something like Good RX). Reversing and rebilling the same script on 4 different saver cards plus their insurance, sometimes just to save a few cents, can take 3-5 minutes per script. If a person has 10 scripts, the line of customers can be tied up for a half hour. It’s not like our system can do a side by side price comparison.
Obviously being busy is good for business, but we were very short staffed today. At the end of the evening, the pharmacist said today was like “covid” days all over again.
If THAT is what every day was like for that staff during the height of the scamdemic, my hat is off more than ever to my coworkers. I can honestly say I would not have been able to handle working there then no matter how much they paid. It was stressful enough being on the sales floor with all the mask crazies, 6-feeters and toilet paper hoarders… but that’s another post altogether.
Let me know in comments if you have any scamdemic related stories!
It’s hard to put into words my feelings after reading this. It’s hard to wrap one’s head around this madness.
I will say though, that some of it was hilarious! I too, would love to be friends with that guy ranting about the joke in our Whitehouse.
I can’t help but think how God feels to look down upon his children.
PS. Thank you for this. We need records of this time in history.
"Frankly, my thought was they were all too excited to die." 😂
So true, for so many of these peeps.
These are the ones who also suddenly discovered they had a "serious immune condition" neither they nor we had ever known them to have before.
GREAT column, so hilarious. Keep this up!
Not a full moon, but I think a mild CME is hitting earth this afternoon/evening.
