Mobile phones

Is it me or are people becoming increasingly rude in their use of mobile phones? I've toyed with the idea of buying some signs for the pharmacy such as this or this. However, I doubt that this would convince my thick-skinned customers to shut the hell up. Glaring at them does not work and putting their prescription to the back of the queue does not work either. It is hard enough to juggle three jobs, answer the phone, check a dosage without listening to some half-witted drivel. I've never overheard a half-way interesting conversation.

Anyway, I found an answer here.


"The Y300 triple system jammer is similar to the Y300 dual model, except that this Y300 triple includes 3G jamming too. This model is only available from us and will take care of your jamming requirements as more and more 3G networks are created over the next few years. The Y300 comes in 2 models, one for GSM and the other for the Americas/Canada. Each transmitter outputs 3 Watts, the total output is 9 Watts. If you want a cell phone jammer to last into the future, then this is the one to buy"



That should do the trick nicely. Now, when I get frustrated, I can simply switch it on and cut off their stream of inanity. How much fun will that be?

we have signs posted all over our pharmacy that state "due to the nature of our business, we will be happy to help you when you have finished your phone call."
we have one clerk who's actually quite mean about it and won't even pick up a script someone lays on the counter if they're on the phone. we enjoy it too. it also means that sometimes you can be waiting in the pharmacy for near a half hour instead of 10 minutes, since we can't seem to get you off your phone to ask you about your insurance. it's actually a violation of hipaa laws for a patient to receive counseling on a med while on their cell.

Kudos to you, for this article, and also for correctly spelling "drivel". :-)

Remember in the United States that these are the PUBLIC airwaves and that the operation of a device designed to cause undesirable operation of other devices is a felony. If someone reports the use of this to the FCC and they come knocking, don't say you weren't warned...
