Walgreens

I needed to buy some deoderant on the way home tonight. Since there are really 2 ways I can take to get home, i had the choice of going to either CVS or Walgreens to get some. I chose the way that took me past Walgreens. Now, being a pharmacy, you would think they would have a decent section of thier store dedicated to health related products. This was not the case. They had more space for Valentine's chocolate and home audio/video accessories than shampoo/soap. After walking around the store for 5 minutes, up and down every aisle that didn't have toys/office supplies/etc. I gave up and went over to Kroger to get the goods. That only took me 5 minutes, 3 of which were spent standing in line. How many people go to get a prescription filled and think, "While I'm here, I should get that composite video cable I've been needing!" While all-in-one stores are handy, ala Walmart and Meijers. Every small store doesn't need to stock a bunch of stuff that has no relation to what their main business is. Chocolate, I can accept. Home audio stuff, I can't

You preach it man! I'm sick of these all in one places that have nothing of real value and nothing pertaining to what their purpose is...
