Being a customer

Ever find being a customer can be quite annoying? Weather you are hearing or deaf...

Background noisey, don't depend on hearing aids. Try lipreads... Doesn't work. Never mind. Here that's what I want. Give it to me! I'll pay for it.

Ppppfffttttt, I went to the pharmacy to get the medication. I know that certain medication doesn't accepted by the insurance. Yet, I'm paying it anyway!

Every month, I always get my medication as usual. Until one day, I went to the pharmacy and told them my last name (which it is always misspelled my name everytime and never failed). Once I clarfied my name, she said that "I can't have the medication because the insurance wouldn't pay for it." (Well, DUH!! I already knew that.)

I said, "of course, I will pay for it without the insurance." She said that she can't give me the medication. I said "why not?" She said "because of the insurance would not pay for it." I said, "that's okay. I will pay for it without the insurance." She still refuse to give me the medication. I can see the shield that she put it up and being resist and all.

URGH!!!

I continue to be calm as best as I can. I said, May I ask you a few questions? She seem more calm and her resist seem clamer and said "yes, you may." I asked her "how much is it cost without the insurance??"

She said "it is 35 dollars." My respond, "okay that is what I usually paid for last several months." She said "oh okay." I continued, "I am willing to pay 35 dollars for this medication. I do know that I have the extra money for the tax, too." She went like "oh okay, well then you are going to have to wait an hour."

URGH!!! Thanks a lot! I've waited an hour ago and I have to wait again!
Pppppfffffttttttttttttt

Whatever ... However, my respond is "Thank you Ma'am and I guess I will wait until then."

I walked off and decided to come back in next few hours, at least before the store closed.

I have other errands to do and I can't wait for another hour. Geez.

Doesn't matter, what's done is done.

Why can't things be so simple? Here it is and this is what I want. I paid for it and I am the one who get outta here not them.


Here's another story, I went to resturant (gratefully my parents are with me), I sat down and wait for the waiter. Here comes the waiter starting blabbling. It is usually for what the special for the day that you usually see on the board when you first enter. So why talk about that? If people can't read then that means they can't read the menu, either. DUH

Only problem with waiter is when they are lazy to talk such as usually men (no offense to men) their lips are barely moved. Look like he doesn't talk at all. I can't even hear his voice. Geez. I have to look at my parents to see what the heck the guy is saying?

There is another waiter who is a spanish woman, she have such a heavy accent and it is impossible to understand her but grateful I know the most usual questions. What do you want for a drink? Then come back with the drinks. What do you want for dinner. As usual, I order as I already knew the next question would be either how do you want to cook is for the steak or do you want veggies, potato, or rice. If you order potato, what do you want on it? Butter.
Salad or Ceaser? Salad. What's the dressing? Ranch. That's the most typical in order of question first to last. It never changed around. Same o' and Same o'

Feel like talking to the robot, maybe we should get robots? Then again, maybe not.
