I was just at the local drug store (one of the few remaining, after many of them were shuttered over the past year), picking up some prescriptions related to my upcoming surgery. (Neomycin and Metronidazole — I think both of these are to prevent infections during the surgical procedure).

Very long line in there to pick up prescriptions. Long enough that multiple folks abandoned the line.

Finally, finally I got up to the counter and they asked for my date of birth. I said it, but oops, they couldn’t hear me, so I repeated it — oops they couldn’t hear me, can I speak up? So I had to shout out APRIL 30 1974. Loud enough so allll of those many people behind me could clearly hear it. Good times
