I think I already have trouble understanding why a pharmacy has the need for a drive through
They’re really annoying since they only do prescriptions. I suppose that’s useful sometimes but so is regular stuff. It seems like such a small part of their business
For example, one time my toddler was sick and my wife was out of town. I needed some Pedialyte and I forget what over the counter medicine, and it’s not like I could leave the little guy. I pull up in a cloud of stench with him vomiting out both ends, and begged them to let me buy stuff in the drive through. But nope, I had to take that into the store
Walgreens pharmacy line is around the store consistently where I'm at
I'll spell it out.
WALMART
but.... It does make sense. The elderly that can easily drive but not so easily walk benefit immensely. CVS and Walgreens in the US also have drive thrus usually.
I have my mother's prescriptions delivered by her pharmacy, as it's 100% USPS, but we have the Walmart as a backup if she needs something asap.
I love the drive through when my sick toddler has fallen asleep in the car on the way from the doctor's to the pharmacy.
I guess in the US pharmacies aren't located near doctors ? Even in cities ? Where I'm from I usually just have to walk 3-5 minutes if not less to find a pharmacy after I went to the doctor.
Oh. You just don't understand America. Yeah, no, the pharmacy is a 10 minute drive from the doctor's office. And that seems decently close.
Unless your doctor is in a hospital type setting; then there's probably a pharmacy on site.
@Jomn @candybrie With a few exceptions, nothing in the US is close to something else, because their towns were built for cars, not for people, and most of their cities, which were originally built for people, were bulldozed over and rebuilt for cars.
