I stopped by the drugstore last night on my way back home from work. I had a fewtoiletries to pick up , as well as my prescription . Fortunately, the chain pharmacy where I go has a little bit of everything: food, greeting cards , magazines--it's almost as big as a regular supermarket.
To begin with, I needed to get some medications for my allergies . I've got hay fever , so I'msneezing up a storm every morning when I wake up. While I was at it , I also got someantacids and some Band-Aids . Now it was time to pick up my refill .
I stood in line for a few minutes before being waited on . Since it was not a newprescription, the pharmacist didn't have to do a consultation with me. I just gave the clerkmy insurance card and she rang up the sale. Fortunately, I have a low co-pay , so my HMO foots most of the bill .
