The unprofessional woman at an "urgent care" center on Huron Church

My dad recently had an infection for which he needed antibiotics. When he had a mild reaction to them (although he's never had one before), we had to go to a pharmacy to get a new prescription.

The pharmacist couldn't just change them, and we had to go to a walk in clinic. An "urgent care" center on Huron Church was recommended to us.

It was still open when we got there to see the doctor, but when we got in and got in line an older woman came out from the other side of the counter while the younger receptionist was talking to a pair of women in front of us and said, gesturing toward the door "After you two that's it... we're not letting any more people in".

Now, this place wasn't terribly crowded, and the "open" sign was still on when we got there. The receptionist had told me over the phone when I called just previously to not be long because they "might be closing soon".

That was fine I thought, and we were there within ten minutes.

Why this shrew felt it necessary to tell my dad and I this I have no idea. Is she so inept she can't lock the door or put up an indicator showing that they're no longer open herself?

It seemed to me to be really just a way for her to possibly work out her frustrations, whatever they were. The place wasn't terribly crowded, and I can understand if you want to close, but why not just do that instead of finding a very snarky way to tell us you'd have preferred if we hadn't showed up.

This woman is UN-professional, and quite rude. It really was quite a classless thing to do I thought. There's no other, and no better way to put it.

I run into plenty of very nice people in this city, and occasionally some who go out of their way to be nice to others. I'm looking forward to being able to post that. Actually I have a story like that and I'll be sharing it after this one... this just wasn't that one :)

How do we know?

Yesterday I was at the Super Store on Dougall. While at the self-serve checkout I found that someone had left $40.00 in the bill return. I gave the money to the clerk. Here is my question: How do we know if the money is ever returned to the proper owner and if no one comes back for it, what happens to the money? I don't want praise or a reward, I would just like to know "what happened" to it.

Ungrateful

People begging for money..I used to give and now I try to avoid because we all weren't born rich and all have to work for our money..and sometimes the people asking for money have all day to sit around with their signs and are better dressed than myself which is the reason I stopped handing anyone $..anyhow this morning at 6:30am (on my way to work) on the corner of I believe crawford and univeristy a middle aged guy waved me down..(i was stopped at a red light or else i would've drove off being a young 30 yr old woman and also you never know nowadays what someone is capable of)..so yeah, i unrolled my window a smidge and offcourse he was asking for $ , had a whole sob story saying he was fropm essex and needed to get a bus home..ok whatever true or not i wouldn't go anywhere away from home without a penny..sooo i was like ok i will quickly check(i do still have a heart), well then he was like you know a $20 would be good! I was like excuse me , or a $5..beggers can't be picky.(.and I have 2 little babies at home..the $ that I go make I use for my children(diapers, formula, clothes, etc)..I said no not 20, i will see what I have, and gave him as much change i could quickly grab and he took it and started counting ...his first story was hes from essex has no $ has to get a bus, then when he asked for a specific amount of $ he also said you know I could get a coffee as well!!.....What the heck, I was trying to be a nice person and to have someone take $ count it and then say well that won't get me too far!!!! wow!! I said well you know it is something i didn't have to give you anything..count your blessings..he went off saying well i guess its better than nothing!!!! Shake my head at you..after that now I think you were for sure lying and probably needed that $ for something else (alcohol, drugs, etc)with that rotten attitude! Be thankful for what anyone will give you, because they definetly do NOT have to.!
