Covid 19
Be kind to your pharmacist, he’s really rather tired.
6 days a week, from 8-8 and he wished he had retired.
But they need to social distance,
So they work when they are shut.
So you don’t have long to wait around
And to spread those bugs to us.
WE DON’T WANT TO CATCH IT. WE NEED TO STAY OPEN FOR YOU!
He hasn’t any handgel and he can’t get a mask,
But you’re desperate for toilet rolls
So you all queue up to ask.
So we have to make some posters,
“Only 2 allowed inside.”
And please keep your social distance
For we’ve got nowhere to hide.
“But I really need a delivery!.
I thought that was your job!
Only 50, but I’m frightened.
I’m not coming to your shop!”
But one driver’s over 70 and says he’ll work until they stop him….
But he’ll go to those who need him, he’s not here to do your shopping!
IF YOU CAN SHOP FOR YOURSELF, PLEASE DO, SO THAT WE CAN PRIORITISE THOSE WHO NEED IT.
Be kind to your pharmacist, he’s really rather grumpy.
He’s had no lunch, its 4 o’clock and he’s getting really jumpy.
He’d like to have a drink, a mug of coffee, that would do.
But all are much to busy, looking after you.
They still serve you with a smile,
Though they’ve been here quite a while.
THAT IS ONE REASON WE HAVE HAD TO INTRODUCE A LUNCHTIME CLOSURE. THE STAFF ALL NEED TO EAT AND THEY NEED TO CLEAN THE SHOP.
“Paracetemol?”, you’re asking?
We are asking too…….
Our suppliers are all out of packs_
What are we to do?
But we locate some prescription only,
Just the same, but labelled wrongly.
They’re really too expensive
But we’ll re-pack them just for you!
TO THE INFLATED PRICE WE ARE HAVING TO PAY TO GET THEM AT ALL, ADD THE PRICE OF THE BOX, THE MULTIPLE SAFETY LABELS AND SOMEONE’S TIME.
EMBARRASSING BUT UNAVOIDABLE…..
The staff are all amazing!
Working hard, a team together.
They will get you through this crisis,
They don’t see this sunny weather…..
So when you’re clapping for the NHS
Please give them special thought
Because they’ve given thought and time for you -
Dedication can’t be bought!
EASTER BREAK HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE HAVE TO OPEN ON GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER MONDAY. WE WERE ALREADY OPEN ON SATURDAY ANYWAY…..
Written by his wife….
Facebook and poster maker
And paracetamol packer!
