I do that when clothes shopping, but when I'm in a pharmacy I'm all, "I'm a Sickie McSickerson and I needs me some drugs" so the anxiety isn't as bad because I'm too sick to care.
Plus I now know pharmacists and am learning to work with them, so that makes them easier to talk to. I also had an easier time approaching retail sales folks when I was working in retail, if that makes any sense (and now that I've not been in retail for a while I'm back to square one. "PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT ME, SCARY CLOTHES-SELLING LADY! I SWEAR I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS! JUST LEAVE ME ALOOOONNNNNEEEE!").
As to how to artistically convey that, maybe have a panel where you look at the pharmacist and look nervous and then turn around and suddenly find the face creams fascinating? I don't really draw or anything so I don't know how feasible that is, but maybe that makes sense?
Anyway, I recaptioned panel 3 when I was inking it, so maybe the anxiety thing is clearer now? I guess it could still be read as simple dithering, but I guess that's also okay.
