OPEN LETTERS
An Open Letter to My Pharmacy
Your job looks super stressful
Dear Pharmacy Workers,
Today, I went to my Walgreen’s drive-thru and there was a sign that read:
Closed today 1/14/21. Staff is sick.
I felt really bad because I know you are extremely hard workers. In fact, I feel like you are working too hard, because every time I go to the pharmacy I notice the same passion play.
I see foreheads laced with perspiration and mouth-breathing, and I hear a scolding tone.
I’m not referring to the customer’s tone, although I have overheard loud sighs and grumbling on more than one occasion.
Instead, what I see are white-coated professionals rushing around like meth-heads at a cheerleading meet. It can be hard to make out individuals, as you morph into a whitish blur.
Why are you so stressed out? And why are you moving so quickly?
My theories are very superficial but here they are, in no particular order.
