Read the script before getting it dispensed

Computer generated prescriptions are the most easiest to read. No need to squint your eyes and make out if that is an A or an O. Because computer-generated prescriptions are the easiest to read, even patients can read what the item is. 

This scenario happens quite often:

Patient hands in a script for (drug name). So i dispense it. When I finish with the prescription and hand it to the patient, they say: "Oh I got that already at home. Can you please cancel it for me?" 

Waste my time. Waste of labels. Waste other patients time. 

You SAW what the prescription said. Did you just close your eyes, saw the doctor, the doctor gave you a script, and you never looked at the script during the journey from the surgery to the pharmacy??? And now you tell me, you didn't know what the doctor prescribed you and you just gave the script to your local pharmacy and then get them to dispense it then tell them to cancel it coz you have it at home already? Is this a joke???!!
