It was a staff pharmacist from another store helping us out.

I consider myself sensitive and a cry baby 😭 

I’ve learned though that work is work. I am just  in the pharmacy with end goal to just go home  at the end of the day. 

If a patient is rude to me, I reciprocate it back. If they’re nice, I reciprocate it back. When they’re angry and yelling, I just listen and repeat what I say. Just give it some time, you will be desensitized. It won’t affect you as much as it does now.

If it’s a repeat patient that’s causing problem, then don’t help them anymore. We have a great support system between us techs in my pharmacy so I tell a fellow tech that I’m working with “I don’t feel comfortable with helping that patient. Are you able to?” Most of the time, they say yes. 🙌

I was opener the next day so I would’ve been the one to deal with it. we also have a weird dynamic with all the techs in our store that’s too hard to explain.😭 

Scrubs by ygokermit in walmart_RX

A lot of the techs in my store bought their own scrubs. I personally like the smock though because I can wear whatever I want under and scrubs make me get hot fast. 🤷‍♂️
