Thank You Mrs. Betty Bowers

If you work in a drug store and refuse to provide a customer with birth control, you don’t have a deeply held religious view, you have a deeply annoying inability to mind your own fucking business.

One of my now-former employers/colleagues at the pediatric office from which I retired is a very observant reform Jew. I once asked him what he would do if he went into the room of a new mom to perform the usual newborn physical exam and the parents were covered with swastika tattoos, the dad had a Hitler moustache, and they were wearing T-shirts with anti-Semitic slogans on them.

He said he would do the in-hospital exam with as much neutrality and grace as he could muster, and then quietly suggest to the parents that he might not be the best fit for them.

OMGWTF

22. A new shop sign I've just developed:

"Customers are expected to leave their attitudes and opinions at home or parked outside the shop.
The people who serve you are expected to conform to the same requirements.
Please report anyone working in this shop who does not comply."

Walgreens - you are doing it all wrong!

Betty says it better though . . .
