 My pharmacy used to have a red line on the floor and a sign stating something like "one at a time" or do not go beyond this line til it's your turn...or something like that. My bf/roomate likes to stand "too close" for my comfort at the checkout and I was SO glad when the pharmacy had the sign, the line, and was kinda more strict about people standing to close to the person they are helping. Now the pharmacist just looks up and says, "oh...you must be together." And my bf keeps testing those boundaries....and i am pretty much clueless on how to handle the situation...without causing a big fight. Any ideas? I know i gotta do something. One thing I want to do is call my pharmacy and ask if their policy changed (if i ever get a moment of privacy that is)...but i know i can't depend on stores' policies to protect me...they can help...but I know it's not right for me to stand up for myself. I am just speechless and dumbfounded when it comes to my bf sometimes. Had i known i was like this, i would have NEVER have had a bf. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 Ask him to wait in the car. That should take care of the problem, hugs, Norma

 Your slip might be Freudian LOL Honey, just grow a backbone and speak up.

What are you afraid of??? You can say things nicely and still voice your opinion. Tell your boyfriend to wait outside you want some privacy when getting your meds. Or tell him to step back behind the line. Common sense.

 No line anymore....I was really BUMMED when i noticed NO LINE...NO SIGN...and how the pharmacists NOW just assume we're "together"...which we SORTA are... I KNOW KNOW KNOW KNOW you are right, don't get me wrong. I just don't know how to deal with the aftermath of making such a request

 hopefully the aftermath is going to be you gain some respect for voicing your opinion and wants. if boyfriend gets upset and you have said it nicely then his problem not yours.
