Woman gets shamed at CVS for 'son's' unusual name. The reality has people rolling.
It started like any ordinary pharmacy errand. A Michigan woman named Sarah was waiting at CVS to pick up a prescription for her “son.” When another woman waiting in line overheard the name of her “son,” she apparently couldn’t help but let out an unsolicited opinion.“You’ll really name your son anything, huh?” the woman said with a sigh.The name in question? Whiskey. At least it wasn't Bubbles.

So was everyone else.Except Whiskey isn’t a little boy. He’s a red golden retriever.Yep. Sarah’s “son” is of the four-legged variety, currently undergoing cancer treatments and racking up a pharmacy bill that could rival a small country’s GDP. She and her husband get his prescriptions filled at their local CVS because (fun fact) many human and animal meds are the same, just at different doses. You just know there's a person named Whiskey out there getting a kick out of this. media4.giphy.com As Sarah explained to Newsweek, this strategy saves them a few bucks, but can certainly lead to some incredible misunderstandings.In her TikTok video, which has now been watched over 3 million times, Sarah retold this CVS name-shaming incident, and viewers collectively lost it. @sarahwithscrubs I should’ve thrown in I was picking up his cancer meds too lol
