I seldom apologize in emails.

Alternatives:
- Thanks for flagging!
- Good catch - I will make the updates/changes.
- Many thanks for noticing the error, [name], we will [verb]
- Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will [verb]

Stop over-apologizing at work.

If you ever wanted community goss, come to the pharmacy. We know so much more than the hairdressers.

#dearcustomer:I’ve been waiting here like 3 minutes!
Me:That’s really not that unreasonable amount of time.

If you don’t think we all roast the living daylights out of you the second you leave the store, then your grumpy ass is even dumber than I thought. #pharmacyrants #pharmacy

[Jane 🦕💫🇬🇧 @j_consilio]

Do you want your receipt in the bag or to take it?
#dearcustomer:Yes.
Me:Which one?
DC:I said yes.
Me: In the bag or handed to you?
DC:YES!
Me:which one?!
This isn’t a yes/ no Q!
This goes on for a few mins. I give up & put it in bag. DC shouts at me for not handing it to her.

@OriginalReRe Customers have it tought, having to remember their own name and all... 😋

[PharmacyRetailRants @pharmacy_rants]

Customer: How does this work?
Me: Gives a detailed description.
C: Do you take it?
Me: No.
C: Oh it probably doesn’t work then. *leaves*
Me *under my breath* Or maybe I just don’t need to use Horny Goat Weed....
