I had to go in once when they first came because my SILs medical
insurance insisted prescriptions had to be filled there. My daughter
gave me grief (probably rightly so) when at first I wouldn't agree to
pick up my grandsons medication there. So I swallowed hard and went
to pick it up.

While waiting I had a look around. I saw cheap goods, clothing with
miserable, cheap little hems etc and an HP laptop that looked good
until you saw it was a junk HD inside. I heartily disliked their
attitude (rather like Costco) of blatantly assuming you were there to
steal.
