The stupid question thread.....

[Frank Gallagher]

I love stupid questions, and this board is just a wealth of information to answer them all. So lets have a thread were we can ask questions that we're too embarrassed to ask in person.
 
 Why is it when you go to the pharmacy, there could be three pharmacists and no customers but yourself, yet you still have to wait 20-30 minutes for your prescription to be filled? Why can't they just grab your shit off the shelf right there and then?
 
 
 *NOTE*
 They confirm your health insurance before they even take your prescriptions so I'm not buying it that they have to confirm coverage.

The real question is, don't you phone your pharmacy orders in advance so you don't have to wait?
 
 If you are waiting, it's because someone smarter than you phoned their order in and it's being filled ahead of your walk in order.  When you phone an order in, they inevitably tell you "it will be ready in 20-30 minutes."

Okay Mr. Marty McSmartypants....then why are all three pharmacists stood around doing nothing instead of filling in all these phone-in prescriptions you speak of?

Because they want to reward the smart people with their drugs faster than the stupid people.  Consider it their own brand of "natural" selection...

if everybody in our country became vegetarians and lived off the land with no electricity except for what was generated by solar/wind, and gathered water from rain, planted their own food, established their own forms of small "governments" for and by the people . . . wouldn't we just be invaded and slaughtered by meat eating brutes that live by the futures of money controlled destruction and chaos?

why would we have to be vegetarians? why couldn't people just hunt their own food?

because most people with guns nowadays only know how to shoot each other, and human tastes horrible.

Yes.  And we'd deserve it.  A better question is would we become Canadians or Mexicans?

...and they don't taste like clam tacos either so I don't think we're taking about the same thing here.
