You can't make this up

When you have to work Christmas day you can really get some strange phone calls such as:

Caller:  Is this the pharmacy
Response:  Yes how can I help you
Caller: Are you filling prescriptions today?
Response:  Yes that is why we are open!

And then you have people all over the store on CHRISTMAS DAY. Two young women show up at the prescription counter and ask if we could get them some cheese from the cooler since the shelf was empty.

You have to get the manager in the front of the store to help you with that. 

Oh, they are too busy and the lines are long.

Sorry, we don't have access to the cooler so you will just have to wait!

Caller:  Oh, so you are open.
Response: Yes, this is a 24 hour store that is always open
Caller:  So you are open all day
Response: Yes we never close.  They have lost the keys to the front door so we can't close!!

It is truly amazing the things people will do on holidays.  Don't people stay home on holidays, especially Christmas.  Don't they want to have family time?

I know one thing, if I didn't have to work, I would have been home with the family!!!!  You never know how long you have on this earth, so I enjoy being with the family as much as I can.
