Stupid rules 101

Ok today went like this…….

Hi, I need to renew my prescriptions,

Are you on the repeat register?

I should be.

Ok what’s your name?

TonyT

Yes you are, if you come in we will give you a white card then you just need to tick what you need and your prescription can be collected in two days.

Cool, I’ll pop in, BTW I see on your website I can request a new prescription online, how do I set that up?

You need to pop in with a photo ID and we will set it up

But I don’t have one, so can you not just set it up?

No, we need a photo ID

But I will be standing in front of you

Yes, but we need a photo ID

But I will be standing in front of you

Yes, but we still need a photo ID

Yes, but I WILL be standing in front of you, so you can see I am me AND you will be issuing the drugs then and there based on who I am standing in front of you, so what’s the difference?

We need a photo ID for online.

At which point I gave up.
