A second said: “OMG. If you go to pick up a prescription with a red hat on, will they give you the wrong medicine? That’s crazy,” while a third added: “This person, packing your life-saving medication!”

Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are expected to be impartial, or not show favoritism toward patients based on their political affiliation, gender, ethnicity, or other characteristics.
The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, which trains pharmacy technicians in the U.S., says online: “Pharmacy technicians must provide services with impartiality and fairness. They must not discriminate or show favoritism in the provision of pharmacy services.”
Receptionists are also generally expected to be impartial to those they serve, particularly in a healthcare setting.
Anthony D’Esposito, a Republican congressman from New York’s 4th congressional district on Long Island, said: ‘Promoting violence after the assassination attempt on President Trump is horrific.
“We must send a clear message: this will not be tolerated, especially by those who work in healthcare and who take an oath to help and support all people.”
