What type of customer are YOU?

Basically, there are several types of customers here in my little pharmacy:



  • The Proud: think they know everything and when u try to tell them they are wrong, they go huh huh huh really arh???, almost like a little song you sing to the pharmacist. Dun believe me, dun ask me lah..

  • The Ignorant: Dunno what they are looking for, dunno which 1 they wan, dunno the name of the med, the only thing they know are details that i dun give a damn. Like color of the tab is white, the cream is in the tube like a toothpaste, all this means shit in the bowl to me... FYI Im going to suggest the Singapore Dental Society to change the package of all toothpaste to pumps b4 pple start brushin their teeth with hydrocortisone..

  • The Rusher: Grab the med fr my hand before i can explain the dosage and splint to the cashier... fine with me if u dun wan to hear me out but dun blame me later when u ate the suppository that meant for ur asshole, asshole..

  • The Hard of Hearings: This is the second time u explain to them and they still ask you the exact same questions 2 more times.. They are not old and seem normal.... worst of this kind would be the ones who turn the table around and accuse you of confusing them. Apply 4 times a day, best time to do so would be at night = apply only once at night. Pls Im here to teach u how to use this cream, not english comprehension.

  • The Illiterate: If u noe that u hav nvr step into a school in ur entire lifetime and u r not planning to do so either, could u bring something along that can help me to identity the medicine u want to buy? and when i instruct u to do so next time after spending 1/2 hr showing u everything, u get pissed at me and start telling me ur life story of how u noe nuts abt A,B,C , like its my fault that u r what u r now.. I think its time that u go to school and learn how to respect others and be polite for a change.

  • The Cheapos: They are the siblings of So & So who are friends with pharmacist X and they expect discount in EVERY pharmacy branch. They are demandin and SHAMELESS... Hey, I dun owe u a living, u noe!! U wan to know why u dun get a discount in MY SHOP? Becos u dun deserve it.

  • The Big Shots: They expect you to be in for them all the whole time and they are always in a rush... I cant go out for lunch, I cant go to the toilet, I cant take a break.. Even God have a day off and u expect me to be here on Sunday juz to dispense chlorpheniramine to you? If so, u can hav my job.

  • The Asker: U ask and u ask, u enquire and u enquire but u never seem to purchase anything. Do U think im here to entertain you? I hav tonnes of mind numbing paper work to do and a few ass to kick, further more, u look like a pig. So get out of here before i slaughter u for lunch.

Well, thats pretty much for now.. So think abt it, which type are you?

hahaha.... the The Illiterate is the coolest.. :))) u know why? 'cause it's not only in your pharmacy! they are EVERYWHERE... kinda' funny those old ppl who think (and they are pretty sure) you want to hear their whole life!
once, an old man (he was 80) told me his entire sexual life (from the age of 17) while i was waiting for a friend to get out from a medical visit. umm... it was funny... didn't even bother to ask him why is he telling me all that stuff since the guy was pretty convinced it is ok to share that information with me.
my advice... so you don't go nuts; pretend to listen to them and think of something else :)

SAVE ME!!! ANYONE!!!
