An etiquette tip...

[telophase]

...that I picked up while reading through a forum thread of pharmacy techs venting about their jobs:

Never hit on the pharmacy tech at the counter while picking up your herpes medication, even if she is very cute.

Squicky.


A general rule of thumb is never hit on anyone you're currently engaging in economic transactions with. There's a subtext of prostitution in such an act.

But damn, that needs to be on fmylife.

Why are you reading a pharmtech forum? Stay out of the swamps, 'phanie!

(And there. Continuity established, and I won't call you 'phanie again. I promise never to use 'phanie in any context whatsoever, unless you buy a messenger bag. Then I'll call it your 'phanie pack. And I WILL BE UNABLE TO STOP IT.)

I'm not sure where or why I originally found the forum, but I bookmarked it a couple of years ago in my "To read later" folder, and forgot about it until I was exploring that folder yesterday. :) So I read it, so I could delete it.

This is valuable advice.
