The mind set of the entitlement crowd

@ 02:29 AM (7 months, 1 day ago)
Seen an intresting scene the other day......I was waiting at the wal-mart pharmacy to get some drugs..(nasty chest crud/bronchitis) when a rather large lady waddled up to the window and bellowed "I wants my scrips filled".  The tech working the window inquired about method of payment and insurance as part of her standard policy. "I gots medicaid" Orca lady replied. Ok maam, we need to see the card please..."I TOLD YOU .....I GOTS MEDICAIDE ITS ACTIVE" ...Well maam unless you are paying by cash or check we need to see the card and proper ID as per policy, we cant fill the prescription unless medicade authorizes, and we need the card to do that ...The woman/whale then  rudely responded   "I aint gots no goddamn checks " then demanded to see the manager....The manager then informed (politely) that in order to fill the prescriptions the card was needed, in order for medicaide to reimburse...and that it was not only the pharmacies policy but a medicare regulation, and she would be more than happy to contact the medicare office if she wanted.....The "lady " agreed ("Then callem then")...The call was made, the tech spoke to the office ...in front of the patient and  explained the situation in plain site of the patient, handed the phone to the lady......Don't know what she was told, but end result was "Well fine goddamnit" she slammed the phone down, reached into her massive bra and pulled out a medicade card, and drivers liscence..."Heres ya fuckin card, now fills my scrips".......To the credit of the poor pharmacy staff, they kept thier cool smiled politely  and said "Thank you maam, well run this through and see about filling your presriptions"  Which pissed the ole ungratefull bitch off even more because she couldn't bitch any more....I would not have been so polite, or tolerant.  What the hell was her problem, she had the card, had her drivers liscense, and was receiving medication for "free", courtesy of the people who work for a living?  I geuss she felt entitled. I bet if she got off her fat ass, and put in a few hours at a job and had to actually pay her own way and support herself and the large litter she had probably whelped, she would sing a different tune, she reminded me of "Rasputia" off that awfullllll Norbit movie....People like that do not deserve or appreciate what is handed to them.  I hope the pharmacist filling the meds dug his fingers in his ass before handling the pills......(yeah I know that was way too gross, but I might have done it...lol).....riff
