Whaaaat??? And what did you say?

OOO! I hate it when I get taken off-guard.

Some weeks back I had some scripts to fill. As I approached the pharmacy, one of the staff told me she would take my temperature before I entered. I complied, got the all-clear, dropped off the scripts, then departed to go to the next-door supermarket to pick up few things while the scripts we made up.

On my return after 1/2 hr, the same girl approached to take my temp. 'But you just took my temp', I said. Oh, we have to take it every time, she told me. Again I complied. All but one of my scripts was filled, but one I would have to come back for, as they were waiting for it to come in.

A few days later I awoke with the determination not to have my temp taken again. Off I went to pick up the late script. I was approached by another staff member who went to take my temp, but before she had a chance to, I asked her, has anyone ever refused her. She looked surprised then said, no, nobody has ever refused. Oh! What would you do if somebody refused, I asked. Ah, they would not be allowed to go in, she replied. Well, I am refusing, I responded. 

As I had already paid for the meds I told her she would need to have them brought out to me. As it turned out, although the meds were in, the script had not yet been made up. I got fed up with waiting and went off without them.

My dear husband, who can be just as stroppy as I can be on his day, willingly went through this demeaning process for me. We haven't been back, but now go the other pharmacy. Just as well we are a 2-pharma town!

I like this....

lol....I wouldn't be surprised if they're out there to be purchased online.  I heard there are masks with Disney characters out there.  Isn't that ..... charming?

At my 9 yr old's dentist appointment today they told me "if it was ok" my son could go back to the exam room and be seen after a temp check--and I could  go wait in the car.

We gotta start fighting fire with fire.  So, if this happens again, respond with something like "Well, I don't leave my children alone with adults because how do I know if they'll be taken advantaged of?  In this day and age, you never know.  If priests can't be trusted, who can?"
.
It probably won't work, but it's worth a try.  This is an extreme response, but we live in extreme times.

The first mask is EXACTLY what my husband wants to wear when they call for mandatory masks at stores.  

A Doctor said on a radio program said that wearing masks may protect the person who at lease six feet away
from you but may cause serious health problems to the person wearing it. The trapped germs inside the mask
can cause eventual respiratory problems where non existed before.
A disposable mask has to be thrown away after one use and not worn again.   Others mask that are non
disposable  have to washed and sanitized after every use.

Well wearing a mask for.a twelve hour shift I can attest to my sats dropping to 94-95 and waking up the next day hacking up a lung. Every time
