Pharmacist: Good afternoon! Welcome to Health Plus Pharmacy. How can I assist you today?

Customer: Hi there! I need to pick up a prescription. It’s for Emily Johnson.

Pharmacist: Certainly. Let me check our system. Ah, here it is. The prescription is ready. Is there anything else you need?

Customer: Yes, I also need some over-the-counter pain relievers. What do you recommend?

Pharmacist: If you’re looking for something effective, I’d suggest our store brand ibuprofen. It works well for most types of pain. We also have acetaminophen if you prefer that.

Customer: Great, I’ll take the ibuprofen, and, do you have any allergy medication?

Pharmacist: Absolutely. We have a few options. Claritin and Zyrtec are popular choices. Do you have a specific preference?

Customer: I’ll go with Claritin. Thanks. Oh, and do you have any travel-sized first-aid kits?

Pharmacist: Certainly! Right this way. We have compact first-aid kits that are perfect for travel. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Customer: That should be it. How much do I owe?

Pharmacist: For the prescription, ibuprofen, Claritin, and the first aid kit, it comes to $45.50. Will that be cash or card?

Customer: I’ll pay with my card, please.

Pharmacist: Perfect. Just insert your card here. You’re all set. Anything else I can help you with?

Customer: No, that’s it. Thank you so much for your help.

Pharmacist: You’re welcome! If you have any questions about your medications, feel free to ask. Have a great day!
