Hi Crimson,
I would definitly stay away from that one. It isn't your place to say anything. That other guy could have been just her brother or family friend. You say that you know it was his wife because you've seen her in a picture? I wouldn't trust that one at all. I've had people think they've seen me out and about when it isn't me at all. Even if your assessment of the situation were accurate....it's just not your place or your business to get involved. And you shouldn't be telling others either. What if you are all wrong and it gets back to the boss's wife that it was YOU spreading the rumors?

oops...just read your comment above. Can't you just play dumb if he asks you what she bought? You don't have to say that you were the one that waited on her do you? I would just say that I saw her in the store and that I had no idea what she was buying.

Thank you!
I'm surprised that you did because I thought to myself that I was maybe getting a bit too harsh but still, I had to say what I really felt. Glad you learned from it. I think anyone who has had to work in the public has had to face these situations at one time or another.

The thing is, I also told him I was the one who helped her. I wasn't planning to mention it but I did by accident. Sheesh

No, she doesn't really know me. I just recognized her 'coz I've seen her in pictures. Yeah I know! When I heard her asking for a Plan B, I was like, "Huh???" Well actually, I already did tell my boss that I saw his wife at the pharmacy but I didn't say she was purchasing Plan B. I was scared to see his reaction.

The Plan B could be for him and his wife. The guy could've just been there for moral support. You never know, or do you? It'd be funny if you got blasted at the office party and blurted it out. Or, if she came to the office and recognized you from the pharmacy. Then, again, maybe it wouldn't be so funny.

didn't know what plan B is until I read your comments
I think it's enough you told your boss about his wife buying 'something'
if he comes to work and asks you what did she buy
just tell him you forgot or make up something that sounds like plan B lol
that way if his wife admits she buys plan B
he would think you just forgot lol
bad advice I think but that's all I can think of now that you have told him you saw his wife lol

If it were me, I'd keep my nose out of your boss' business. I'd go hairless if someone told my partner about what I was doing, and accusing me of things. Even if you're a really close friend, its always best to stay out of it. Anyway, if you do go and spill the beans on her, I hope your suspicions are true. Could get quite embarrassing for everyone involved if not.

i just curious my friend are you sure that guy was accompanied with the wife of your boss? If you are sure better to tell in a casual and little bit private to your boss. Not telling with other guy but about seen in the pharmacy not telling the items (however if asking if you see what she purchase tell him) that's my opinion only. In that case the husband will check to his wife about that and I'm sure that your boss not to tell you are the one saw her. see you around

Crimson, You can't tell anybody about these kinds of things. If you have such a difficult time keeping it to yourself then you need to find another job. There are privacy laws. I'm pretty sure someone buying a prescription is protected by those laws. I hope for your sake that this blows over.

What if I've told my boss already that I saw her wife purchase something at the pharmacy but I didn't mention what medicine it was, but he'd certainly have figured it out by now 'coz he would definitely have asked her by the time he got home last night. What should I do now. I feel scared about what my boss would say to me this weekend when I go to work. He might think I'm being nosy. But it had been really bothering me and I just felt like I should tell somebody about it so instead of telling other people I just told my boss himself.

You could arrange for him to get an anonymous letter in his office mail. Just make sure that you do not do it in your own handwriting. Print it out on a computer printer, then leave it on his desk, or mail it to the office and have him receive it in the daily delivery. Either way, it would probably be best if he doesn't know who sent it.
OR, you could just take a chance and tell him that you saw her buying it, and that she had some guy with her, and that you thought he should know. The worst thing he can do is to tell you to mind your own business.
A third option would be to just let it go and not say anything...
