So, I guess I haven't purchased a decongestant in a long time. I decided that I might be having some chronic sinusitis and that I needed a decongestant. We had some in the house, but we were getting low, so I thought I would stock up. I went to Walmart to get groceries and thought, good, I will get some Sudafed. In the Allergy aisle, there was only a card in the spot where the Sudafed was suppose to be. It instructed me to take the card to the Pharmacy. I did a little more shopping in the health and beauty area because I knew that there was quite a line at the Pharmacy when I passed it to the Allergy aisle.
When I got to the Pharmacy and handed the card to the cashier, she yells out something like "code red" or something else, I wasn't sure. Another person comes over and asks for my license. But I didn't hear her and gave her my credit card. She gave me a "you are pathetic look" and asked again for my license. I fumbled around and found my license, which she then proceed to read with intense concentration and put all my information in their computer. Then she handed my license back to me and asked me to submit to a strip search and body x-ray, fingerprint, and retinal scans. Just kidding, but I did have to sign my name on the electronic reader. Then she walked away without another word to me. Then the other cashier was ready to take my money. My lord. I felt like I had just been vetted for a new security job or something. All that rigamarole to be able to get rid of my sinus congestion! It might have been easier to ask my doctor to give me a prescription for a decongestant.
