So last night we stopped by the local Walgreens – thinking we might be able to find a cough suppressant, one that didn’t have an expectorant or decongestant in it.

Good luck – they don’t have one. Almost every one of them has either the above two or an antihistamine.

I now refer to them as the Soviet Walgreens  – you’ll take what they offer and you’ll like it or else.

But here’s the rub – I can get said cough suppressant at CVS. So guess who gets my business?

I shot Walgreens a nastygram on their web site. Mentioned the Soviet thing and told them maybe they had better pay a bit more attention to their customers rather than trying to hawk useless crap. I’ll be interested to see what response I’ll get from them.
