two lane drivethrus at the pharmacy. seriously, how freaking illogical is that?
1. Only one person can be rung up in drivethru at a time
2. Communication through the drivethru is via a loudspeaker in the lane, therefore, while yelling at the incompetent, deaf, imbecile in lane 2, the person in lane one gets a free non-hipaa approved listen to all the other patient's issues
3. Many stores only have 1 technician/intern and the double drivethru misleadingly makes patients think that their drivethru wait won't be that long b/c, hey, even though there's 2 cars in lane 1, there aren't ANY in lane 2...
The drivethru is idiotic in a pharmacy anyway but the double drivethru is just plain cruel. Everytime I send the little basket/tube out I want to throw a stick of dynamite in it so it can be out of service for awhile.
Additionally, for anyone out there who may use the drivethru, please understand, it is a driveTHRU... that means you do not get to sit there and wait for your prescription(s). Also, if you have new insurance or have never filled with us or you plan on getting boxes of albuterol or some other large item or english is not your first language or you are deaf -- for the love of God and all that is holy, come in the freaking store! I hate the drivethru. Isn't your healthcare more important to you than a big mac? I truly hope so.
That is all for now. The double drivethru drove me to pursue a residency :-) Not really, but I sure am glad that hospitals haven't found a way to offer drivethru services - can you imagine? Yeah, I'll have the gastric bypass special number 7... and can you throw in breast implants too while you're at it? Yeah I'd like to have that in the drivethru, I'll be there in 20 minutes, thanks...
Ok, goodnight
i'm still trying to work through the complexities of you comparing a big mac to ones healthcare, how exactly did you come up with such a oxymoronic pair lol?
