    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

      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.
