ANGRY YOUNG WORLD
Were We Always Mad As Hell?
Enraged at Walgreens
The world has gone mad. That, or it was already pissed off and awaiting a catalyst. Life these days feels like someone walked into the tavern with a loaded gun. Or a Walgreens with a prescription they needed to fill.
I went to Walgreens to get my COVID shot yesterday. The line looked like Beyoncé was inside. Everyone who showed up, surveyed the line and said, “Is this the actual line?”
I wish I could have told them about the non-actual line, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.
Some people tried to skip the line and go to the front window, but we growled at them and they took their place at the back.
We were all protective of our blue dots — the six-foot-apart blue circles where we were designated to stand on and wait our turn. Due to the crowds, there were more people than blue circles. Tempers were simmering as we all guarded our places.
The lines were not only for people who needed COVID shots, but people getting prescriptions filled, people having difficulty with their orders, people at the wrong pharmacy, and people who needed translators.
