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.
I forgot a Sheetz opened here recently. 7 Eleven might open soon too.
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.
