Phoxy Photos

Back in the glory years of pharmacy, before the digital age, there used to be this service called photo processing. For those that don't remember, it involved dropping off 35mm film from a camera then sending it to a company who processed the photos and returned it the following day. Rarely, the pharmacy had its own processing lab and could have the photos processed in an hour. That was like 5 years ago...

I was lucky enough to work in a pharmacy that actually had one of those processing labs. Often, one of the assistants that was trained to process photos would bring someone's unusual photo to the dispensary and show the staff - and we would laugh! Boy did we laugh sometimes... good times.

On one occasion, an assistant brought over another unusual photo to the dispensary and said to us, "This is how I like to watch TV!"

On display was an overweight, blonde sheila sitting on a couch - not unusual so far, I mean, that's where you see a lot of overweight people sitting. The unusual thing was... She was completely NEKKED!!! (That's 'naked' for those that don't know how to spell cool on the internet - because I'm hip).

Imagine pale white skin, some of it red and chafed, rolls of fat (definitely not p.h. phat - that's a cool way of saying 'fat' ;)), droopy boobs and Allota Fagina! (Not the character from Austin Powers - See Alotta Fagina).

Gross!

So for that, the customer that had those photos processed were charged a dishonour fee. I think it was around $10... but only after we laughed at the photo first.

In a different time, at another pharmacy that had film sent off to a central location to be processed, one of the male pharmacy students was a little bit... horny, so to speak.

What seemed to be a fairly regular occurrence, attractive women would drop off film to process. Each time he would attempt to chat the girls up. He would fail, but he would mark their processing envelope so he would remember which one was theirs when they returned.

On one occasion, he accepted film from a woman he described as, 'Saucy.' He had a feeling she would be the dirty type so he couldn't resist, when her photos were returned, to carefully, ever so carefully, open the tape holding the envelope closed with a razor blade. On inspection of the photos, there was nothing special, a few people in a group photo at a house, party perhaps. Flicking through, oh there's a dog, picture of food, until...

He found something! On one of the occasions the camera was used, there was another party. The girl he failed at picking up at the pharmacy counter was in it with two of her girlfriends dressed, in what could only be described as, 'slutty attire.' SCORE!!

But wait, there's more! As he scrolled through the photos, an object started to be incorporated into their poses... a banana! Now if you are a dirty little pharmacist like me, you can imagine the banana was being put in people's mouths, held at backsides in a provocative manner - and it was! LEVEL UP!

Unfortunately, the photos with the phallic object ended, and so did the sluttiness. Wait, did I say 'unfortunately?' I meant, 'Thank god,' because I'm professional.

The horny student, after having his fix, replaced the sticky tape so the photos looked like they were never tampered with, because that is wrong! And the attractive woman had no idea. End story.



Aren't you glad your photos are digital now and you don't have to print them to view them? Just don't put them online, or have you computer hacked, etc.



*Disclaimer: I don't condone the viewing of other peoples personal items without permission, but from what I hear, it happens every day. This is no excuse for what these staff members did and I urge all pharmacists to be professional. This story shows you what could happen, or has already happened to you, so be careful with your belongings.

The best is this "an associate" had her digital pictures printed at our store from disk, real close-up pics of her naked shaved pierced private lady parts and her doing an act on another co-worker, the whole store got to see them...........can't look her in the face again. She still to this day does not know everyone saw them.....
