Here in Tampa, people rob pharmacies of all their oxycontin so much that an armed pharmacy robbery rarely makes the news. It's gotten to the point that oxycontin  pharmacy robberies  are pretty much background noise. At any time day or night, there is as much a chance that someone is robbing a pharmacy as the chance that a guy is eating an egg at any one the thirty seven Denny's restaraunts in the area.

Today an oxycontin robbery made the news. This morning at about nine AM, when most of us suckers were getting started at the second to last day of work, right before a three day weekend with a holiday perversely name "Labor Day", (A holiday that celebrates work? What in tarnation?) a guy wearing a blonde wig and packing some kind of semi-automatic weapon was pointing his gun at Armenia Pharmacy employees demanding all the oxycontin in the store. The guy had already jumped the pharmacy counter and screamed the standard demands, and the pharmacy employees were dutifully carrying out the man's request according to their "we're getting robbed of all of our oxycontin" official procedures. The transaction appeared to be going smooth as silk when a fire truck rode by with it's siren blaring. 

Much to the dismay of the pharmacy employees, who had already filled a large bag full of oxycontin and ordered a replacement supply, the guy got scared and took off with no drugs or nothing. All because of a stupid fire truck. So the pharmacy employees had to put the oxycontin back in the oxycontin closet and cancel the order for replacement oxycontin. All the while thinking "I betcha dimes to donuts that some other sumbitch will come in here to rob us just as soon as we get all this shit put back".
