Drug Stores
Drug stores in America sell more than drugs, though all will have a section where prescription drugs--ordered for you by a physician--are dispensed. Drug stores can be as big as supermarkets, with aisles selling stationery supplies, light bulbs, cat food and greeting cards. Larger drug stores may even have lunch counters. Drug stores are also called “pharmacies.” In some wealthier neighborhoods fancy drug stores are called by the British term “chemists.” Like most types of stores, they vary according to the neighborhood and the income class they serve. What they have in common is that they sell health and beauty aids, over-the-counter medicines (drugs that do not need a medical prescription) and prescription drugs.
