I never remembered blasting off to another planet, but I am elderly, maybe it happened.I went to "wally world" to get some medical equiptment.I tried explaining that I wanted the needles to a levermier insulin pen.The person had no idea of what I was talking about, it was like describing an elephant to a blind person. So she left and got help, this only made matters worse.Someone speaking a kind of african tongue trying to get help from a barely literate latina, did not help my blood pressure at all. So they got 'da boss" who told me I would need a prescription to get a levimier pen. I blew my stack, when I finally made it clear to these individuals, that I HAD the pen, but needed the needles, the lights came on. WHY do they put people with minimum english understanding, in positions where they have to communicate with the public? My grandfather was an immigrant, when he came here to work, they handed him a scoop shovel, showed him a pile of coal, and pointed to a place to put it, he did, for a long time. and he went forth and prospered. Looking around today, i realized that I was a white elderly male, and a minority. Beam me up scotty!!!!
