I really tried to like him, tried to work with him, and I just really don't want to start hating on him because once I start I won't be able to stop. Still, I can't stand him. When he just started, he was really blur which was acceptable because he was new. I did half his work for him, plus I had to do my own stuff too. It turns out he thought I was an intern so he treated me like the slave who does all the dispensing, counselling, while also taking scripts in and out. Okay, fine. Told him I wasn't an intern. Told him about the flow of the workspace, where the scripts go and that he should always check if there's any waiting to be done.
For the first few weeks, I either had to dispense on my own or I had to remind him there's stuff on the shelf because he just wouldn't notice. He got a bit better now, he notices things now but he still needs reminding. Fine, good enough.
I noticed he dispenses really slowly but I never say anything about it because it's not really something I can change, as long as he gets it done. But then, he's always super free around the dispensary when there's no customers. It's as if he doesn't have anything else to do but dispense and counsel. I told my manager about it and she said he does have stuff to do, he just doesn't do it. Like what the hell man.
He's much much older than I am but he's got this really weird 4D personality which is exactly the type I can't stand. In simple terms, he's another Yap photocopy. It's so annoying. He makes all these lame jokes and he sometimes likes to ask customers what their favourite number is for the buzzers. Everytime I hear that I just wanna curl up and die because it's so cringy and lame. He's always joking about asking me to stay longer or start earlier and it's so irritating. Like what the fuck it's not funny when you tell me to stay longer every single shift I have.
But today. Today he just ticked me off so much because I noticed he always gets me to clean up his mess. Like what did I do man, I don't know anything about the situation yet you want me to handle it. So there was this customer who came in with a script and it was in the queue. He waited ten minutes till it was his turn and in the end it turns out we didn't have the item. He was dispensing the script but he asked me to take it out and said 'just apologise profusely' like it was some joke. It's not funny?? I didn't take the script in, I didn't dispense it, and I just came back from my ten minute break. In the end I gave it out to the guy and he was upset and made a complaint. Great. I didn't even do anything and I had to be at the receiving end of it. It was so obvious that he purposely made me take it out because he never asks me to take any scripts out, ever. He always does it himself even if there's a million scripts waiting behind, or he leaves it on the counter and continues doing his stuff. Seriously what the fuck. Clearly he knew the customer would be upset, he just didn't want to deal with it and made me do it. Get your shit together man.
This even happened last time when a customer wanted four boxes of Gastrostop and he didn't know that we're only allowed to give one at a time. But lucky him, we only had one box left and he gave that one out. Then the customer asked me again and I didn't know we couldn't give more than one at that time so I offered her the smaller pack and I gave her three plus the big pack he gave her. My manager was so pissed and asked who did it. We were both there and my manager told me off but when my manager left, he was like hahaha lucky that wasn't me, not my fault. I was like, what kind of attitude is that?? Your professionalism, where is it??
Seriously I think I'm really ticked off by his attitude of nonchalance and not being professional at times. One time an Asian lady had a mouth ulcer and he commented 'oh you know Asians like to eat spicy food so tell her not to eat spicy food for awhile'. What the hell? I get your point, but could you have worded it a little better? I'm Asian and I don't enjoy spicy food, where is your God now?
Every time something goes wrong he doesn't try much to fix it, even if he was involved he'll just be like oh I don't know, leave it to the manager and she'll fix it. I hate that he's always relying on other people to get stuff done. Hate that he's always making his lame jokes. Hate that he's always giving weird suggestions like chamomile tea for insomnia. We're a legitimate pharmacy with medications for fuck's sake, not a supermarket selling tea bags in aisle three. Hate that he just gives out any medications as long as customers ask for it, even if they don't actually need it, or if they can't actually have it.
Ugh I just really hope the new pharmacist gets here quick because I am literally about to run into a wall soon.
