In the US, Pharmacies are basically just convenience stores with an actual pharmacy/prescription pill-dispensary in the back. Not sure what they are like in the UK, are they more formal?
- davb 13y agoIn the UK, pharmacies sell pharmaceuticals, healthcare, beauty and toiletry products. I was really surprised when I last visited the US to find a pharmacy with a deli counter, electronics aisles and a fridge full of frosty beers. It really was just a slick, well-stocked convenience store.
