This is something I experienced today... The way pharmacies and pharmacists work.
If you don't know what EMLA is it's Lidocaine+Prilocaine topical anesthetic cream it makes areas of skin you put it on numb it makes several hour long sessions of high current electrolysis on my neck and upper lip just about tolerable. without it I can rely on my own high threshold for pain but I will leave with blisters all over my hands from where I'm squeezing and tensing so tightly (I'll never cry out tho.
)
It can't get you high in any way and barring an allergic reaction isn't dangerous in any way.
I goto super-drug and I ask the Pharmacist for 3 tubes of EMLA to save me having to go back next week as they only come in really tiny 5g tubes. (which are about 40% air anyway sleazy manufacturers ¬.¬ ) She says
"no that's against the law I can only sell you one tube at a time"
"Wha? no it's not."
She just wobbles around and shrugs in-front of me like a brainless jelly
"You explain to me ONE way how I'm supposed to abuse this stuff and I will give you the benefit of the doubt."
*No reply*
Ignoring her stupidity I brought 1 then went down the street and brought 2 more in a different pharmacy no objection there.
It's just shocking. She's a Parmacists presumably she had to TRAIN as a pharmacist at university for 3 years yet she doesn't know the law. And she doesn't know what the stuff she's selling is!

Low caliber professionals has anyone else encountered them? hopefully not too traumatically.
