What is she going on about? Don’t you need a degree to be a dispenser? The other staff are shop assistants aren’t they?
My Mum was a dispenser back in the 70s and didn't need a degree or training but I don't know about like 00s, which is likely when it was! However, a quick Google shows you now need a BTEC/NVQ in order to register, which means she would have likely needed to go to college for this? Unless the pharmacy offered it as an apprenticeship/vocational training? And let's be honest if she'd have done an apprenticeship then she would have screamed about it.

NVQ Level 3 qualifies you to hold the paper bag and pass it from the Pharmacist to the Customer and ring up the price of an OTC packet of Senna pods on the till if somebody asks for it.

A mate did one (said it was a few days over 6 months) when she had a Saturday job in a chemist. She's now a qualified (as in with a degree and post grad qualifications) Psychologist. Her university were not the slightest bit interested in her ability to stack bath products and go and get the Pharmacist when somebody asked a question about their piles. I'd imagine that, like with other level 3s, it's now possible to do it online - read a screen document, answer a question by rewording what the relevant paragraph is in the book, it gets marked as 'did they repeat the words without actually quite plagiarising the content?' and the certificate arrives a few weeks later.

She's oddly proud of not being able to pronounce "tutelage", isn't she? It's an odd choice of hill on which to die. I didn't think it was a particularly obscure word, but thanks to JM, I stand corrected!
Thank you for "hill on which to die" not "hill to die on". I salute you.

She wasn't just an ordinary pharmacy dispenser. She was GOOD at at, because she got to use her quirky weird mind to solve problems. She was the BESTEST pharmacy dispenser EVER!

First of all, I don’t think her poverty was nearly as dire as she makes out. I imagine she struggled financially, and that was exacerbated by her inability to adapt to the drop in income. She probably did find making ends meet difficult for a short while, but I don’t believe her stories about selling her lightbulbs and SB’s toy dinosaur for a minute

Secondly, unfortunately there are people out there who will harm their child to ‘make a point’ or get attention. Narcissists believe they are the only people that matter, and even their children are just props. I’m not accusing Jack of this - as I said, I don’t think SB ever lived in the extreme poverty she claims, so of course I can’t believe she subjected him to it on purpose. Just making the point that sadly, there are some awful parents out there

I do however believe Jack’s narcissism means that she doesn’t think enough about SB. He’ll eventually read her stories and be extremely confused. These claims also reflect so badly on her extended family and SB’s dad / his family. Imagine being falsely portrayed like this. She doesn’t care about anyone else’s feelings - she just wants all the recognition for living the worst life ever
100% agree, have always known her whole schtick is based on bullshit. The only people that believe it , are either very kind and naive people who are lucky enough to have never dealt with a Narcissist before, or other members of The Sisters Of Perpetual Victimhood. I used to feel a tiny bit sorry for her, however her spitefulness and weaponising of illness/trauma/abuse to silence anyone that questions her narrative.....nah.

Thank you for explaining re pharmacy dispensing guys - she has that middle class obsession with (pointless) qualifications doesn’t she, how could I forget 😂

Loose women was underwhelming - I don’t like DW but don’t think it’s fair to bring a black woman on who hasn’t even read the books & have her listen to a load of awful tweets and react for a white audience’s benefit...? Would be more interested in a proper debate on it tbh where all parties had read a full book?

I'm back from thinking that maybe, just MAYBE, Jack had turned a corner a couple of days ago: now it's blatantly obvious what a Grade A mare she is...... I felt I had to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Re: Loose Women - why ask the opinion of someone who admits that they hadn't read the books? I hate the way J.M's being portrayed as the saviour of children's morals and opinions 🤢🤢

Plus the more I see it the more I can't help to think that tutelage is actually quite a good word for young kids to learn and broaden their vocabulary. ( If of course used without potentially misread racist connotations.) Reading as well a broadening the mind is also a good tool to widen a child's vocabulary range. I have gotten to the point in my life where the only words I can offer is "0h jack'

Yes I thought this. Brenda was not aware of and had never seen any of the books and was basing her opinion on the tweets of Jack's being read out by Andrea. They did make it very clear that these were Jack's words but it still didn't give a very balanced debate.

What a crappy snide take. Have you any idea how much work the majority of Pharmacy Assistants do, for one putting up with people who have an attitude like you towards them. Even more so in the current climate, they worked all through lockdown trying to provide a service in very difficult circumstances.
