    The problem I have is there isn’t a 24 hour pharmacy in my town anymore, and sometimes you suddenly need to by immodium at 3 AM.

      We have one 24hr Walgreens left, and I think that’s it. Feels like the town used to be full of 24hr stores before covid, now it’s just that one Wallgreens.

        I don’t think any of our Walgreens stores are 24 hours anymore. Since I was a kid, I watched Kerr Drug go out of business, Eccard’s (or however it was spelled) merged with Rite-Aid and then Rite-Aid was bought by Walgreens and half of them shut down. Meanwhile Wal-Mart and Harris Teeter both now close at 11. So if Sheetz doesn’t have it you can’t buy it after 11 pm.

      Yeah our healthcare facilities close by 8. Which sucks since it forces everyone to the also underfunded and understaffed ER a 30 minute drive away after dark.
