I can't even stand people who work in a pharmacy and think they're expert at injections. When I was in nursing school we actually had to practice (using oranges), and pass an exam to show we were competent at it. Store clerks and fast food workers armed with needles and syringes? No freaking thanks.
I agree, funny that my doctor doesn't even offer the jab but I can walk into Giant
( local grocery store) and get the poison....something definitely not right!
One of the few times I got a flu shot, a few years ago in a chain pharmacy. I watched the clerk get the needle ready, and as she was lining up the wrong spot I told her where the deltoid muscle is located. She had no idea what I was talking about.
I was having blood taken once and instead of the actual doctor doing it they had the trainee do it. The trainee stuck the needle in my arm and was wiggling it around looking for the vein. Like, what the fuck?
So the way I see it, Jim Bob at fucking Burger King can take a hike.

I haven’t thought about that but true.

I had to take an actual course in Phlebotomy to be able to do that.
