So CVS claims that they have “no-wait” flu shots when you call their stores, but I have conclusive evidence that this is NOT the case. This guy has CLEARLY been waiting for a while. 🙂
Sunday Soapbox–The World Is A Scary Place
The other day I’m in a store and a customer came in with his little boy, around 6 or 7 I’d guess. The kid wandered away from Dad and into the Halloween aisle, and set off one of the sound-activated Halloween monsters. Kid freaks out and starts crying, Dad comes over and consoles him and Read More…
