Overheard at the pharmacy

Yesterday I went to the pharmacy to pick up some allergy medicine for my wife.  The poor dear has been suffering from her spring allergies and had run out of her antihistamine.  She likes one of the brands that you have to buy from behind the pharmacy counter.  What a pain in the neck it is to have to go through all of that rigamarole to buy something that is supposed to be “over the counter” medicine with no prescription required!

But that is not the point of this post.  While standing in line to be waited on, I heard a guy at the counter telling the pharmacist that he wanted to buy all of the Tamiflu in the pharmacy so he could sell it online and make a huge profit off of the fears of ”the people” catching the swine flu!  Well, the pharmacist told him that he needs a prescription to buy Tamiflu, and he tried to argue with her.  Of course he went home empty handed, but I was quite angered by his desire to try to hoard the medicine and make a fortune with it over the Internet!  What a low-class kind of guy!
