Welcome to Mortar and Pestle RX, where prescriptions are filled, patience is tested, and absolutely nothing goes according to plan.
Meet Mic, Janice, Monika, Bronco, and Sammy-five pharmacy employees held together by caffeine, sarcasm, and the thinnest thread of professionalism. Whether they're dodging irate customers, surviving corporate chaos, or staging passive-aggressive Post-it note wars, this band of lovable misfits is just trying to make it to closing time without strangling each other.
A sharp-witted satire of customer service culture and workplace dysfunction, Next in Line is for anyone who's ever worked retail, waited in line too long, or wondered if the pharmacist was secretly judging them (spoiler: they were).
--
Next in Line is a hilariously sharp and painfully relatable peek behind the pharmacy counter, delivering biting satire, chaotic charm, and a cast of lovable misfits that anyone who's ever worked retail-or survived it-will instantly recognize and root for. - NewInBooks
Comic and episodic, Next in Line is the prose version of wacky, off-the-wall television sitcoms that pave the way for easy chuckles and workplace entertainment. - Independent Book Review
It is like reading the literary version of the hit TV series, The Office. But in this case, it is actually centered around a lively pharmacy and its unconventional workers. If you're a fan of novels that depict comical work-related misadventures, unique personalities, and social connections, this book is the perfect read for you. - Makeda Cummings for Readers' Favorite
