I Just Got My COVID Booster at the Worst Walgreens In America

I should’ve read the reviews.

See, the problem is that I want to stick with Moderna. I don’t want to be mixing up my mystery medicines any more than I have to. Is this the shot that will turn me into a rabbit? WHO KNOWS?

Now, this might be the vaccine talking, but how do you make an appointment for 3:45 pm for a 15-second shot and wait 45 minutes with NO PLACE TO SIT?

When one guy got up to take his paperwork to the counter, I seriously considered stealing his chair. Sorry, my dude, but my feet hurt and if you want this chair back, you’re going to have to fight me for it and I’m a decade younger, 25 pounds lighter, and a whole lot meaner than you. Trust me on this.

Speaking of paperwork, I completed mine online like a good little drone, but when I got there, the woman’s something or other wasn’t working and I had to fill it out by hand anyway.

That took 5 seconds because I didn’t read any of it, checked all the “no” boxes, and then signed my name on the back. Really, at this point, none of it matters.

She then wanted to fight with me over my prescription coverage, which I do not have.
