1. Ahhh, Shoppers Drug Mart. A store that is treasured by all Canadians. A guiding light, promising shelter, tampons, snacks, and trashy magazines to all who wander through those sliding doors.
2. And unlike CVS, Shoppers isn't simply a store. It's an experience. It's really a journey.
3. And just like any journey, it's not always easy. It's not perfect. I mean, sure, they might not always get the displays right.
4. And sometimes they* forget their shopping carts outside… overnight… in the middle of the winter.
5. But just like most things in life, you have to work for what you want.
6. You have to overcome those obstacles and appreciate the little things. Like their sense of humour.
7. And their sweet, sweet deals.
8. It's more than just a pharmacy. Imagine if a pharmacy, a Sephora, and grocery store had a baby. That's something really special. A special baby.
9. Not to mention, they've got some unique items that you really can't get anywhere else.
10. You never know who you'll run into while you're there.
11. Or if today is the day you'll make a new furry friend.
12. It can also put on one hell of a show. Grab some popcorn. Settle in.
13. And they are truly a one-stop shop for all the holidays, especially Valentine's Day.
14. But more importantly, they know when enough is enough.
15. Now let's get down to the serious stuff. The real reason why we all go through this long, exhausting journey: The points.
16. Because even though you might spend an ungodly amount of money while you're in there, you are always a little bit richer when you saunter outta there.
17. I mean, would your dad ever get low-key mad at you for going to CVS without him?
I don't think so.
