Let's just pause, I get that there is probably protocal and things that I am not aware of since I don't work in a pharmacy, but they also kinda looked like people, with hearts, who looked at my little girl, and just turned her away when the medicine she needed was right there behind the counter, within 20 feet of us.
So I loaded my baby into the car, she screamed the whole time. All she wanted was to go home and rest and instead we had to go to yet another pharmacy because of two minutes.
When we got to the next CVS it was 6:12, as I walked in I could see the wall drawn to block off the pharmacy, my heart sank as I asked the checkout clerk if their pharmacy was closed. He said that they were, and the pharmacy I had been referred to was 20 minutes away.
I asked if the pharmacist was still in and you were. You unlocked the pharmacy and looked at my tired sick little baby, who now only had silent tears rolling down her cheeks, you took my prescription and filled it. Even though you had already closed. Even though doing so added 28 minutes to your night. (Probably more because I assume you had to do some type of extra inventory after we left) You don't know me, and I don't know anything about you, but you put aside your plans for the night. You ignored the fact that you could have simply clocked out and told us to find another pharmacy like the previous women had done. But you didn't, you stayed and filled my babies prescription. I kept thanking you and you just said “of course, she is a baby.”

Annie, there is no way to express to you the gratitude that I feel toward you. You chose compassion when you could have walked away. You didn't have to help us, you didn't have to even open the pharmacy wall. You could have clocked out and gone about your night without ever laying eyes on us. But you chose to take that 28 minutes to treat others like they are humans rather than just another prescription, and I can never thank you enough. You are truly a blessing in a hard time. Thank you thank you thank you.
Awww man poor Malia, poor Mom!Im so glad someone helped you Annie sounds like she rocks!
