One of the pharmacists at a local grocery chain was helping a customer with her appt.

for a booster shot.

He turned to another customer (who had an active account with that pharmacy) and said, "Are you interested in getting the booster? We have them available now.

The woman turned to him with the most hateful look possible and said, "DON'T...POKE...the...BEAR!"

Needless to say, the pharmacist was at a loss for words.

Is that a reaction of RW naysayers to most everything or of anti-vaxers? Either way, can't they be polite when they say no?

But I’m usually pretty quick with a snappy comeback. I would’ve said “Don’t worry. We’re not vaccinating bears at this time.”

I would imagine that her future prescriptions will mysteriously end up in the "No Rush" basket.
