No

I use the drive-through window to pick up prescriptions so while there may be a line, it's a comfortable wait. There is always a line inside the store, too, so may as well be comfortable.

No

Good Timing - that happened yesterday.

No
Extra Credit:

Did you have to wait in a line, or were you served promptly ? Yes, I waited 3-4 minutes. But worse than that, I went at 9 a.m. to drop off a prescription and was told the pharmacy doesn't open until 10 a.m. on Sundays. I think it's time to look around for another choice, other than Rite Aid.

No to all of the above. I like business casual, or beach casual. Those patterns/color mixes are not attractive to me.
Do you ever wear a vest of some sort ? No
Today Is:
Napping Day (first Monday after the time change) No time today for a nap. I'm an early riser and this time change started me off wrong.

Thanks cloven! Hope you all have a great day!

Today’s Question:
Have you ever tried to use an ATM (cash machine), only to realize it was empty ?
(you knew there were funds in your acct. but the machine itself had run out of money)

I have. Once in Las Vegas I went to use an ATM at a casino. I remember chuckling to myself that at least I will break even. Boy was I wrong. The ATM spit out a receipt showing it gave me the money. The only problem was it never gave me any money. It was almost 2 weeks before the money showed back up in my account.

Have you ever used an ATM that dispensed multiple (different) denominations of paper money ?
(amounts other than just $20 bills, or whatever is most common in your country)

I have.

Extra Credit:
When is the last time you had to go out to pick up a prescription ? Last month
Did you have to wait in a line, or were you served promptly ? Went back the next day to pick up

Being a guy I have no fashion sense. So I do not worry about what pattern or color my clothes have

Do you ever wear a vest of some sort ?
Only when I have to

Today’s Question:
Have you ever tried to use an ATM (cash machine), only to realize it was empty ? Yes, when I used to bank at a particular big-box bank, their ATMs ran out of cash a lot. One of the reasons I don't bank there anymore.

Have you ever used an ATM that dispensed multiple (different) denominations of paper money ? My current credit union has that capability, though I've never tried it.

Extra Credit:
When is the last time you had to go out to pick up a prescription ? About 2 years ago.
Did you have to wait in a line, or were you served promptly ? There was no line, but I had to wait since it wasn't ready when I went to pick it up.

Just one time. Lucky the bank was still open.

No, at the ATM'm in California they only give out $20's.

About one month ago. Had to wait (at Camp Pendleton Marine Base) about one hour, but all medications were free. My husband is retired Navy. Well worth it. The base is about 45 miles away, and we go once every 3 months.
