ESLPodcast 30 - Going to the Drugstore
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. Fortunately, the chain pharmacy 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. 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
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.
