Okay, I got back a little while ago, but I had to take care of some things. Anyway, here we go…
First I had to go to Walgreens to pick up some prescriptions. I got there at about 9:20 PM, so the place wasn’t really busy. About 8-10 customers in the store at large, and 3 at the pharmacy. Now this pharmacy is kind of special, in that every female pharmacy tech is between a 7.5 and a bonafide 10. It’s wild! At this time of the evening, they only have the pickup/checkout window open, so I’m patiently standing there, 3rd in line behind a really overweight brunette, late thirties to early forties, and a brown haired woman in her early forties that had Spanish-sounding accent. I think she may have been South American. She was average looking.
Let me interject here to say that by this time, I’d been wearing the MX292 for about 40 minutes and had noticed that I was feeling really calm, as if I was taking life in general in stride. I didn’t feel rushed, like I always tend to be when running errands, and I noticed several times that I was naturally wearing a very pleasant, mildly smiling expression on my face. I like this. It coincides with that “smooth” vibe I’ve seen reported here with MX292.
So anyway, the girl behind the counter, 30ish, Phillipino, and very nice looking sees that I have a prescription slip in hand and she tells me that there’s still someone by the drop-off window, despite the “Next Window, Please” sign, and that I could give them my slip. I smile and say “Ah, thanks.”, and head towards the window. I notice out of the corner of my eye that both women in line are staring at me and watching me walk the 15 or so feet around the corner to the other window.
I handed the slip over and told it’d be about 20 minutes. “That’s fine,” I said, “I can wait.” I decided to browse around the store for a bit to spread my cloud around and check for reactions. I passed this young mother with two small kids in the cough medicine aisle. No doubt picking up meds for the coughing toddler she had in tow. She looked mid-20s, blonde, and very attractive. About an 8. I passed her and she shuffled her kids to the side to make way, giving me an apologetic smile. I smiled back and paused in front of the cough drops about 8 feet away. She was reading a box of Children’s Motrin, but kept glancing up at me. Finally, I looked over at her and said “You know, I can’t ever remember seeing this many different varieties of Halls when I was a kid.” She chuckled and said “Yeah, got one for just about everybody.” I grabbed a package of Fisherman’s Friend and commented about how those were the best I’d ever used, etc., and I noticed she was listening intently and started fingering a lock of hair over her ear. She even lost track of her older, apparently not sick little boy who decided to take off down the aisle. I broke her reverie with an “Uh-oh, we’ve got a runner!” She took off after him, with her younger one still held by the hand, and I took the opportunity to casually disappear back to the pharmacy waiting area.
The South American lady was still there, and when I took a seat she glanced over at me and smiled. I smiled back and started looking around, reading the various signs on the walls. She kept looking over towards me, but quickly looked ahead when I so much as began to turn my head to meet her eyes. And then… husband showed up. Heh. Evidently he was browsing through the store while wifey was picking up meds. They finished at the counter and left a couple of minutes later. A few minutes after that, my name was called and I got my meds and left.
Part 2, the Wal-Mart episode will come shortly.
