Mistaken as a pharmacist

I went into the pharmacy to pick up my meds.

There was an older lady waiting off to the side near me.

They had just gotten online check-in.

I managed to do it pretty easily.

This woman was asked about vaccines by another customer.

I guess that, plus what I was wearing, made her think I worked there or something.

I was wearing a jacket and sweatpants.

She started asking me about vaccines and how long the wait would be.

The way she asked it felt more like she was just starting a conversation.

The customer eventually realized she wasn’t an employee.

So we ended up talking. We discussed the pharmacy for a bit.

Then, she paused. She looked at me and said, “Oh, do you not work here.”

I told her no and said I was just there to pick up my meds.

She felt like it was a strange encounter.

Honestly, that was my first ever encounter like that.

People usually assume I am a lot younger than my actual age.

So that was a nice change of pace.

And finally, I almost went with it, says this person.

Just because she knows a lot about something doesn’t mean she’s a paid employee.
