I stopped by the drugstore last night on my way back home from work. I had a few toiletries to pick up, as well as my prescription 1. Fortunately, the chain pharmacy 2 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 3. I've got hay fever, so I'm sneezing up a storm every morning when I wake up. While I was at it, I also got some antacids 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 new prescription, the pharmacist didn't have to do a consultation 4 with me. I just gave the clerk my insurance card and she rang up the sale. Fortunately, I have a low co-pay, so my HMO foots most of the bill.
