Annoying

TJ has been unfortunately fighting a weird cold thing. He thinks he might have gotten it from one of the many kids he played with last weekend. Anyway, i have never seen him so worn out. So we stopped at Meijers (this could have been any store though) to pick up some cold medicine, and you can't pick the product up from the shelf, you have to bring a little card with a picture of the product you want up to the pharmacy. TJ hated this new michigan law when it first came out, before it even directly affected him, so he is not too happy now that it does affect him and he isn't feeling well. There was quite a long wait at the pharmacy. TJ was going to buy a bunch of boxes of cold medicine and make meth in our meth lab, but having to go up to the pharmacy detered him. So then he finally gets his medicine and we get a few other items and head to U-scan. TJ scans the cold medicine, that he could only get through going to the pharmacy, and the U-scan comes to halt and has to wait for cashier authorization and verification. Ridiculous! I felt like we were trying to buy crack or something. TJ is just a guy with a cold. Meth people will find another way. This won't stop them, it will just annoy the rest of us.

I hope TJ feels better soon.

Also, that is not the case at Target. We do not have a pharmacy. We still sell those items. Now, whenever someone purchases them, the computer prompts you to enter the birthdate. There is a button to press that says "guest looks over 40" and this overrides the need to enter the birthdate. Just so you know for future reference :)

Good to know! Thanks Tara. I will have to pass that information on to TJ. Oh, and he does feel better. :)
