"I saw an ad last night on the tele for a skin powder I need," said a very proper British gentleman.
"Ok," I replied.
"It had an unusual name. Something like 'Global Powder' or some such name."
"Ok," I replied.
"Well where is it, my good fellow?"
"I have not heard of 'Global Powder,' but our skin remedies and powders are on aisle five on the right."
He wanders off. A few minutes later he appears with a bottle of GOLD BOND powder.
"This is it," he states, giving me a look like I was intentionally trying to keep him from the menthol-tingling he's about to experience on his testicles.
"Ok," I replied.
"I thought you should know," he said, as he wandered off.

Full points for the title of the post!
I always wonder why logic and manners seem to magically vanish when otherwise normal people walk through the doors of retail establishments.
Why am I 'weird' for being courteous and polite?
Why is it 'different' to know what the heck I want and where it is before I walk into a store?
Why is it normal for people to completely lose their sh!t just to get free stuff and maybe a discount?
I have a theory.
Generations of 'muricans treating their 'precious little snowflakes' like 'princes/princesses' have led to some of most entitled, spoiled, emotionally out of control people I have ever seen. And what does corporate do when these mouth-breathing idiots complains for pretty much no reason? They get 'apologies' and gift cards.
I'm tired of the anti-intellectualism and the glorification of ignorance.
I'm tired of the erosion of my beloved profession of pharmacy by corporate profiteering.
I'm just plain tired.
