Synopsis

At Mortar and Pestle RX, the only thing more unpredictable than the customers is the staff.

Mic is one meltdown away from flipping the register. Janice hasn’t smiled since 2003. Monika’s running a secret snack ring in the breakroom. Bronco might be part-time tech, full-time conspiracy theorist. And Sammy? Sammy just wants to go home.

Together, this barely-functioning team of pharmacy misfits navigates screaming customers, insurance disasters, exploding pill bottles, and a corporate overlord who thinks motivational posters can solve everything. Spoiler: they can’t.

Next in Line is a rapid-fire satire of workplace hell, customer “service,” and the fragile mental state of anyone who’s ever had to wear a name tag for minimum wage. Chaos is always in stock—and someone just called to complain about the wait time.
