I no longer work at the Pharmacy.

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.
