Thursday:

Me: *calls Walmart Pharmacy to order RX that I need in order to function and need to fill by Saturday*

Person 1: “Sorry, we’re out, if we order today then we’ll get it by Tuesday!”

Tuesday:

Me: *calls Walmart to check up on prescription because I haven’t gotten an email for it*

Pharmacy Phone Tree/Menu: *is as broken as always (seriously, it is impossible to put your RX number in and no amount or combination of octothorpes/pounds and/or asterisks have helped) and ultimately tries to connect me to a person. It takes about three tries/several minutes before someone FINALLY picks up*

Person 2: “Hello,” *insert rest of greeting here* “How may I help you?”

Me: *explains why I’m calling*

Person 2: *takes a couple minutes or so to look up my info and stuff*

Person 2: “Sorry, we don’t have it.”

Me: “What? I was told it’d arrive on Tuesday.”

Person 2: “We don’t know when we’ll get it…”

Me: “But I was told it would arrive on Tuesday.”

Person 2: “Sorry, we never can give an exact arrival date for ‘nArCoTiCs’ because of—” *insert some stuff about it having to go through something and some other stuff I didn’t quite hear because its a telephone and telephones are always cacophonic, voice warping abominations bred from chalkboard scratching and amplified mumbling*

Me: “Oh…” (((IT’S A PSYCHOSTIMULANT, NOT A NARCOTIC, YOU TWIT))) “But I needed it like three days ago…” (((YOU RUSTY HINGE)))

Person 2: Sorry, we never know when we’ll get it.

Me:” … ok… thank you…” (((YOU CROOKED COG)))

*call ends*
