I don't love when people walk up to the pharmacy counter to pick up their medications and after being asked their name, they only give their first name.
"Oh, Sara!"
Ya, I don't know who you are.
We always laugh at the scenarios we are placed in on a daily basis at Smith's, it's a crack up.
"My Name is Jon Doe"
Okay ... Jon I don't show that I have anything ready for you."
"YOU SHOULD. I dropped it off 30 minutes ago."

"I have a prescription here for your wife, Jane."
"Ya, that's the one I'm talking about"
"Ok, two things. When I ask for the name, I'm referring to the name on the rx, not your name. and two, you're an idiot."
My Pharmacy friends LOOOVe the story I shared about my name.
I had been invited to sub on an indoor soccer team at ogden indoor a while back. I hadn't played for a while but I wasn't sure how long 'a while' had been so when they asked me my name, I hesitated.
My first {legal} name is Elizabeth, but I've always been called Libby.
Which is just the beginning.
Because I couldn't remember the last time I had subbed, I was also unsure about which last name it would be under.
I believe the conversation went something like this.
"Libby Arnold"
"Nope"
"Elizabeth Arnold?"
"Nope"
"Elizabeth Carter?"
"Still No."
"Libby Flor-"
"I have an idea, why don't we put it under something you can remember."
I refrained from jumping over the counter and punching anyone in the face.
I also stopped myself from blurting out my whole life story.
The one about how I was single, then married, then single, and married again.
Instead, I agreed with the @#$hole and asked for suggestions.
It feels really good to get mail addressed to Libby Carter.
Mail addressed to any other last name, doesn't get a second glance.
I like to tell Colby that I don't know who that girl is, so it must be trash.
Last week at church I was asked to say the prayer, I still smile when I'm called Sister Carter.
:)
Love love love love love.
