No idea how to title, help with facebook post?

My daughter works in a pharmacy and I was thinking of crafting a facebook message encouraging people to use their drive through services. I am not a writer, so thought I would crowd source and see if anybody would be interested in helping out.  Something along these lines:

Pharmacy employees come into contact with hundreds of people everyday. Lots of pharmacies have drive thru windows, and during these extraordinary times might be a great time to try them out. If you are coming to pick up prescriptions or even over the counter medicines like Tylenol or cough medicine, you can use the drive through window and the employees would be glad to help you out. With increased traffic the wait times might be longer, but that's ok! Use that time to sit comfortably in you vehicle and listen to your favorite radio station, text your friend or call your mom. Interacting with pharmacy staff through the drive thru window cuts down on both your and the employees exposure. But remember, be patient! Everyone is working very hard to ensure you get what you need. Oh, and if you have a noisy vehicle (looking at drivers that have those big diesel trucks 😉 shutting your engine off will help the staff hear you better. Thanks for working together to get through this!

Thanks in advance!

Honestly, I think it sounds good as is. You did a great job!

Too many words. few people will read such a wordy post on facebook.

Put a short post (80 characters or so) so that it shows in the large print, make colorful background, and put all extraneous info in a comment

Great text. If you can find a picture to go with it, add it because that gets attention to posts. And then if you make it public when you post it, you can ask your friends to share it too. Just be sure to change your post setting back to "friends only" if that's your default the next time you post. And if you choose a picture of your daughter, then ask her about it. You can also choose a vague open source picture. Pixabay is the best quick source for those.

Does she work for a national chain or a small independent company? If it's a national chain, I wouldn't post anything without approval.

Bullet points are easier to read, and more likely to be read, than a wall of text

 

Here are some ways you can help us serve you better during this time

1. Use the drive thru window to minimize the spread of germs and viruses for yourself and pharmacy employees
2. You can pick up OTC medications and items through the drive thru as well, just ask!
3. If you have a noisy vehicle, please shut your engine off to help us hear you and others better.
4. Please remember to be patient! Use the inevitable extended wait time to catch up on FB, text or chat with a friend on the phone.

Thanks for your help! Together we will make it through these trying times!

Are you wanting to post regarding a specific pharmacy location or do you want to encourage drive thru use in general?

If this is general, I'm not sure I'd include the otc bit or suggest calling first.

I agree that shorter with an image is better.
