Walgreens
Is it just me, or does the Walgreen’s logo remind you of the infamous “coke moon” at Studio 54?

They don’t show you, but those sparking drugs are being lifted out of the mortar and pestle by a big disco nose.
I was waiting for my ADHD prescription to be refilled at Target this morning…and eavesdropping on the woman in the next “drop off your drugs” divider. She was asking the pharmacist about her prescription for Ambien. She wanted to know if she could, on “good days”, supplement Simply Sleep instead of always taking her Ambien. Or would Tylenol PM be better?
The pharmacist said sure. “You need your rest.” Lady Macbeth was worried that she’d get addicted, but seemed relieved that the pharmacist said she was only risking a psychological addition…not a physical addiction. She might even just take a Benadryl, because it was pretty much the same thing as Simply Sleep. Although she cautioned taking her Ambien with her pain medication.
Yeah right, you can’t sleep. This chick is dancing with Dr. Smack. She probably likes to pop a few and listen to Rush Limbaugh backwards.
At Target, I like looking at the the contraband items that you have to ask for from behind the pharmacy counter. The needles, bag balm, the Fluoride rinses. Why is Bag Balm an “ask for” item? Is it used for making crystal meth? Why are they hidden with the pseudoephedrine products? They have a vaginal wash behind the counter, but not the douches. Is this one particularly dangerous? There are even a couple of bars of soap back there! Why? Why? Why?
