A mom came in today to pick up a script for her 5-year old for PediaSure (yes, Medicaid covers it here in New York.) Problem was, she didn’t realize it was for 90 bottles, which is 15 packs of 6. Unfortunately, the mom was pregnant (I could go off on a diatribe about someone whose kids are already on Medicaid getting pregnant–but I won’t.)

I, stupidly or not, offered to drop it by her apartment after work. She was pregnant, and said she didn’t have anyone to help her pick it up. I admit, I felt sorry for her, and since her apartment is only a short walk from our store, I figured it wouldn’t be a problem to bring it by.

The pharmacist I had today (a floater because my boss is on a do-nothing-go-nowhere vacation) even gave me a ride so I didn’t have to walk 6 blocks with 15 cases of PediaSure.

So yeah, I probably got suckered. But I (we) did my (our) good deed for the day.
