The Three Ninjas

I finally gave in to peer pressure and went to see the doctor about my eye.  So a quick in/out to get it confirmed I have conjunctivitis and need drops, get a prescription, and sorted, all under 10 minutes.

So I’m standing outside the door to the doctors, prescription in hand with a decision to make.

1. Go to my normal Chemists (When I say normal, I’d not been there in 20 odd years)  Which means a drive to the local village, park wherever I can, walk to Chemists and collect my drops.
2. Walk the 3 paces from my doctors door to the Chemists next door.

So I settle on the next door  Chemists, Wander in and hand over my prescription.  The chemist wandered off to her terminal

<tappity> <tappity> <tappity>

Chemist 1: “You’ve never been here before!“

Me: “I never been ill before“

So she starts to enter my details into the computer

<tappity> <tappity> <tappity>

Chemist 1: “How do you get to the next bit of the address, its wont go there?“

Chemist 2: “err you hit that button, then type there“

<tappity> <tappity> <tappity>

Chemist 3: “you just  move the mouse over there!“

Chemist 1: “oh the mouse!“

So they finally get my details entered into the computer, print off the labels, and come to give me my drops.

Chemist 1: “Here you go, sorry but your address printed out wrong, and you cant really read it”

Me: “err, its ok, I know where i live!“

so. Doctors = 10 minutes, Chemists = 30minutes

Is it just me? Or does everyone else have these same problems?
