3 minTim rants about a CVS/Duane Reade pharmacist refusing to sell him Advil Cold and Sinus because his driver's license expired a week ago, spiraling into a bit about Orwellian meth-tracking systems and his inaccurate Long Island address.
- 3:20Tim has a cold and a Duane Reade pharmacist refused to sell him Advil Cold and Sinus because his driver's license expired a week ago.
- 3:38The store requires entering the license date into their system, supposedly to prevent meth production, though Tim questions the logic of this tracking requirement.
- 4:11Even if you know a customer for twenty years and they're your neighbor, the computer system won't override the license date requirement to sell the medication.
- 4:42Tim questions whether there's actually an epidemic of people manufacturing meth from Advil Cold and Sinus that would justify such restrictions.
- 5:18His license has an inaccurate address from Long Island that he's kept for a decade despite living in Queens, so the tracking system doesn't even work properly.
- 5:50Tim blames the police state for his inability to get medicated, then jokes about buying artillery on the dark web.
