I'm just going on recall, but are you sure the guidelines specify not to count if separated by ANY barrier? If I'm remembering correctly, you count the pharmacy associates who are not on a phone, filling a prescription or behind a glass window. I believe you count them if they are just behind the desk area and within seven feet.

In the guidelines for my grocery shop, there's an instruction to not count, nor evaluate (i.e., see if they acknowledge you in some way) associates working in a pharmacy department if:
a.) They are filling a prescription OR
b.) They are separated by a barrier or glass window.
Quick Question 1: This seems to pretty much exclude almost anyone who's working in a pharmacy, though, is that right? Since pretty much all pharmacy workers will be behind the counter (which is a barrier), unless they're on the floor for some random reason (usually helping someone find something, in which case they are already occupied and not free), then what workers are left that you're allowed to count and evaluate?
Shortly after the instructions up top, my guidelines also say:
Anyone else who does not fit a.) and b.), evaluate them ONLY if they're within 7-feet of the pick-up counter. If the associate is on the phone or at a drive-thru window and helping someone AND are within 7-feet of the pick-up counter, then we should count them as helping a customer.
Quick Question 2: Maybe I'm missing something very simple, but I was thinking huh??? Wouldn't anyone on a phone or at a drive-thru window already be behind the counter or glass of any pharmacy area? If so, then wouldn't they have already been excluded from a.) and b.) above?
If anyone's familiar with these types of shops and can offer any clarification/insight, I'd greatly appreciate it. Just think I'm missing something here. tvm!

I'm curious why this post was considered inappropriate and removed? I saw this post prior to it being edited by a moderator. All it said was that the instructions give you everything you need to know and the Irene does these all the time with no problem. What's the deal?

LisaSTL, there was nothing inappropriate in my response saying I won't feed the troll. I merely told her to read the instructions, I'm not doing her work for her. I'd love to know which Moderator lacks common sense. I didn't read her reply, but I bet it was a dozy. Why is SHE allowed to keep starting threads that go on and on when she just needs to read instructions to find her answers.@LisaSTL wrote:

op's removed post much shorter than usual but yelled in all caps for moderator help or some whackiness.@Irene_L.A. wrote:

At least I stand vindicated.

shoptastic, it looks like they aren't going to let go of the noose. Maybe take a break, change your user name and ask questions in a less verbose way?! That's what I would suggest.
