For personal reasons or did they do something generally evil? Because Walgreens is my jam and I refuse to go to CVS, but only because of long, protracted, frustrating battles I have had with their stupid mail order pharmacy.

I'm just mad that they wouldn't sell me Sudafed. Also the one time they said they'd page me when my order was ready and after an hour, I went to check and they said Oh, we're not going to fill it at all.

I like their rewards system, especially on prescriptions. Every couple of months I get enough points to get $5 off a purchase.

Yes! Walgreens rewards card actually regularly pays off. It's awesome.

You get big rewards if you get a flu shot, too.

Getting breakfast, cereal flakes arranged in such a way that when milk is poured, it hits a big flat flake at the top of the bowl and just bounces right out and all over the counter― ornamental cabbage (James Morrison)
― ornamental cabbage (James Morrison)
(massive hotel drama x-post)Yes! I've taken to studying the layout before I pour to find a good spot, and failing that, moving the ski-jump flake out of the way.

On our last vacation, room service showed up so quickly after ordering that I was standing naked in the middle of the room. I panicked, tucked myself between bed and wall and pulled a blanket over myself on the floor! Heh. Husband was there to open door, dude walked the tray in and put it on the bed I was hiding against.

there's this good friend who likes to invite me to stuff, and I appreciate it, but he tends to be...annoying about it.
like he'll send a long, detailed text during work hours that I can't even barely unpack because I'm hella busy this week, and then less than an hour or two later, he's calling me because "he hasn't heard back from me". granted it's for an event the next day, but like...gimme a chance to read and reply, man.

I wanted a bagel really badly, a chewy New York bagel with scallion cream cheese and the whole deli shebang, and that is not something you can readily find around here, so I looked up a cafe with good reviews, checked their hours, got dressed nice, biked there with my book...and it was shuttered.

people who say the same things across various social media platforms. automatic reposting of tweets in facebook is bad enough but it's worse when people take something they wrote one place and rephrase it somewhere else. like their thought is so amazing that it needs to reach as many people as possible.

also i just went to walgreens to buy almonds and while they did not give me a huge receipt, i had to punch through like 10 options on the electronic paypad before i could finish paying, including indicating two different times that i didn't want cash back. on the other hand, this walgreens sells sundresses.

Twitter needs a feature where it suspends the accounts of anyone who tweets more than three times in a seven day period about not knowing about X because they don't have a TV.
Every time I complain about twitter on this thread, I'm referring to the same person. Why do I follow this person?????
