Christmas Ideas

I was stopped in traffic near Walgreens. I read the outside bulletin board: doz eggs on the first line, some kind of lotion on the second, and Flu Shots Gift Cards on the third. The "Flu Shots" posting had no apostrophe, but spelling has deteriorated so badly that it could have been an oversight. I studied the sign and decided that I could get all my Christmas shopping done in one convenient store. After all, who couldn't use some eggs and lotion? My favorite, however, would be gift cards for flu shots.
Does anyone remember when a drug store was a pharmacy, some over the counter medications, and a few toiletries?
