I’d like to focus this post on personal space related to your fellow customers…

…You know how credit card machines have those little wall/ blinder things to make it hard for others to see your pin number? And how you’re always paranoid the person behind you is going to steal your identity?

Take the bank for example. Your account number, pin number, check number, etc., placed in the wrong hands could be a very bad thing. That’s why measures like the lines you stand in, calling out “next”, and hushed voices are taken for privacy.

This also applies to the drug store. There are privacy laws out the wazoo shrouding the pharmacy and all its customers. Be polite, give the person at the counter some space and step away when asked. You wouldn’t want others to know what meds you’re taking so don’t eavesdrop on others.
