I no longer work at the Pharmacy.

Thanks all of ya'll for understanding and being so nice about this. It's good to have you guys to talk to about it.

Pomtzu, I truly understand what you mean about having to stay at a job you hate because you have to have $$ to survive. I hate that you and some others here have had to stay w/ jobs you didn't like because you simply had no other choice. I'm sure it was/is hard because I was only there for 2 short weeks and absolutely didn't wanna go back! If I had to of worked there and had no other choice I guess I would have, but since its just me and I live w/ my mom I don't have to really work to take care of myself. I only have to pay my cell phone bill and for my clothes and gas for my car.

I know I'm 21 and It is about time for me to find a better paying job so I'll have $$ in the future for my self incase I ever had to support myself intirely, ya know? I really am trying though. Things are tough and it is hard to find a job right now with the way things are.

I couldn't report him though; even though that's what probably needs to be done--I couldn't. My mom wouldn't want me to go that far w/ it. My uncle gets his neds. filled there and he has even been rude and snappy with him which is un-called for if you ask me-I mean my uncle wasn't the one that quit workin for him, I did... but I guess that shouldn't surprise me cause like I said before he's rude to lots of his customers.

Anyways thankyou guys for being here!!

Genny - you really should report him to the health department. You're 21 and old enough to make your own decisions, so I don't understand not doing it because your mother wouldn't want you too. Reporting him being rude and it being a hostile environment would be a waste of time - and who would you report it to anyway? It may not be right, but it's his business and he can run it the way he wants. There's no physical abuse or sexual harassment, so like I said, it's simply a case of "if you don't like it - then leave".

And just something to think about: you live at home and basically are still being supported by your parents. What if - and God forbid - something happened to them? - what would you do without an income to support yourself? I won't bore you with what I was doing at 21, but it wasn't living at home, that's for sure. Most people your age are either furthering their education or working a full time job and paying their own way. I'm not saying this to be mean, but I really don't think you're looking at the whole picture.

I don't think any of us should encourage a young person to go against their parent's advice- no matter what we think of it. I am a lot older than 21, and if MY mother told me not to do something in a situation like this, I wouldn't do it either. It has nothing to do with age.

I lived at home until I was 22. I moved back home at 29. Big deal. Genny, you should not feel any pressure to move out on your own. Trust me- living on your own ain't all that it is cracked up to be. Time is short, time with our parents even shorter. Enjoy it for all that it is worth.

I never said that she should move out - only that she should have a source of income with which to support herself in the event that her parents were unable to continue supporting her. Poop happens!

And there were some instances where, as an adult, I took my mother's advise, but wished I hadn't in the end. Genny would be doing a lot of people a favor if she reported the less than sanitary conditions at this pharmacy.
