Went to Costco today to buy a box (100) of insulin syringes. Syringes are not a controlled item in my state (Montana). 100% over the counter.
The Pharmacist wanted my prescription before I could buy them. “I do not have a prescription,” I replied. “They are syringes. It's not necessary.”
I need your prescription for INSULIN - it's our policy.”
“I do not have a prescription for insulin. You do not sell the insulin MY CAT requires (it's pork based and will not work on humans) and furthermore you cannot get it (PZI). I just need the syringes.”
“Sorry, it's our policy.”
I went to my usual pharmacist and bought a box for 50 cents more than the Costco price.
I think the guy was just too new to the trade. Or too scared.
I'll take a VET any day.
My best,
Leo (of course, I'm not really Leo Farnsworth)
