New Pet Peeve: My local village Pharmacy Again!
Step into Pharmacy,
Me: Hello, I'd like to buy a roll of Sterile cotton, I know you don't have any in store, can you please order a roll in for me?
Assistant: You What?! What do want? Sterile Cotton?
Me: Yes Please, can you place an order for me?
Assistant: Well, What do you want it for? Anyway, once you've opened it you do Know it won't be Sterile anymore!
Me: Good Point, but actually it's made under Sterile Conditions, that's why I would prefer to purchase Sterile cotton.
Assistant: I'll check - goes to computer, taps away a little - returns:
No, we don't supply it, you can only get it at the Hospital, or at the Doctors. NEXT!
Go to Different Pharmacy (in town):
Yes, we'll order it in for you, collection after 11am tomorrow.
If I was anywhere else but a Pharmacy I'd understand, but aren't these people meant to know about "Sterile" products?
It's my fault really, I keep going back!
