Nougat = Oxycontin

Dear readers.
It has been 2 years. Two VERY eventful years. Why did the blogging stop? I can only answer for myself.. I just found it easier to make my husband's life hell and complain to him rather than use my rather tired fingers to annoy others. Since I've been here since 9am and have only done 30 rx, I figured my fingers could use some exercise. A couple months ago I had an experience that will resonate with me forever (sorry for using big words). I was minding my own business (not my business, someone elses, but I get paid to do that), and this ornery dude (more big words), came in.. Rather should I say STORMED in... and here's how it went.

Angry man (will be subsequently reffered to as AM): I MUST SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: Hi, I'm the pharmacist, can I help you in any way? (I was so kind, trying to spare the manager from AM)

AM: MY NOUGAT!!! THE WRAPPER WONT COME OFF!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!! MY NOUGAT AAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Me: Hm. Ok, bear with me, I will get the manager (not really my area of expertise, I'd say).

Me to Manager : crazy dude, really upset about his Nougat.. can you take this?
Manager: Uff. Ok.

Manager: hi sir, how can I help you?

AM: MY NOUGAT!!!! THE WRAPPER WONT COME OFF!!! I BOUGHT THIS GARBAGE FROM YOU!!!! I WANT TO EAT MY NOUGAT AND THE WRAPPER WONT COME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS DISGUSTING!! HOW CAN YOU SELL THIS!!!!

** I will break in the story to explain what nougat is in case anyone is wondering. Nougat is a type of candy, and is often encased in rice paper, which is edible, and keeps it from sticking to other things, and makes it easier to cut and serve - back to our scheduled program**

Manager: Sir, this is rice paper. It is edible - it is not a wrapper. You can eat this! Nothing wrong with this candy bar. Perfectly great candy bar.

AM: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!! IVE NEVER SEEN NOUGAT LIKE THIS!!!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!! ***WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH***

Manager: Sir, I assure you that there is nothing wrong with this nougat.

AM: BE QUIET!! GIVE ME MY DAMN MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT NOUGAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAHHHHHHH

Me: SIR!!! IT IS JUST CANDY!!!!! FOR GODS SAKE IT IS JUST CANDY!!!!! CALM DOWN!!!!!

Manager: here is your money. that is quite enough.
