Geez. Have you tried to buy cold medicine lately?
I had to sign a document at the pharmacy counter acknowledging my purchase of a “methamphetamine precursor,” first of all. Then, when the price didn’t scan correctly, I had to be escorted (because, you know, I couldn’t actually HAVE the medicine yet) to customer service by the pharmacy technician. Apparently, the cash registers at the pharmacy counter don’t “do” price corrections (doubtful). I eventually got my Advil Cold & Sinus, after many sighs and eye rolls. I was exhausted, I tell you. I was so flustered that I totally forgot to use the coupon that was in my blasted pocket, so I got to pay full price for my practically-black-market goods. Even better.
