I tried to buy some antacid this morning at a major supergrocer downtown HRM. I couldn’t. The are locked behind the glass walls that protect the pharmacy counter. When I complained to the clerk, he told me that I would be surprised at what people try to steal. AhwoOO!?!?!? This is a store. I am trying to buy, and I can’t because you are worried about someone stealing some Tums? Your business philosophy is back assward. —Turned Away Customer

First world problems.
Is the baking soda under lock and key?
Just get some of that shit, add water and consume.
There.
glass of milk works too.
Oooooorrrrrrr….you could’ve went to pretty much any OTHER pharmacy/corner store/gas station in the downtown core. If it’s where I think it is, there is a Slobeys like, a mere block away WITH a medical centre across the street, I might add. There’s also a gas station with a corner store about 2 blocks away in one direction, and a giant ass hotel virtually next door in the other direction, where I’m sure you’d be able to get an antacid either from the front desk or from one of the vending machines on any one of the floors. Use your head for more than a hat rack.
You were not prevented from purchasing the product…….. you just couldn’t pick it up and take it to the counter yourself ……. why state “I am trying to buy, and I can’t because you are worried about someone stealing some Tums?” You give me a tummy ache with that lame fucking excuse.
Ever buy razor blades?
tums mixed with other shit can give you quite a buzz, and can be also used as an explosive, if you mix it just right. a poor man’s bomb.
Their preventing thousands of dollars of loss is more important than your dollar purchase. Don’t blame the store for protecting their stock, blame the fucking thieves.
Valid for Meth making supplies only. You ain’t blowing up shit with fucking Retsyn.

A couple people here are talking out their south end. The stupidstore on barrington has a glass retractable wall infront of their pharmacy whenever the pharmacy is closed.
It is closed in the early morning, if you want cough syrup, halls, pepto bismal, tum, aspiran, etc…the staff will not open it pharmacy for you.
in Vancouver they lock : all razors;big blocks of cheese;lighters..etc. etc…
Well now you know OP.
Big blocks of cheese?
..yea..druggies love to steal them..fast money.(I guess)..
I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this cookerguy. I might be walking down the streets of Vancouver and some guy might come up to me and say “Psst, want a little Havarti?”
Personally, I don’t buy cheese from anybody dressed in a trenchcoat, just a rule of mine.
I hear you OP. And I also understand the antacid isn’t the point here. They do that at many SSs when there’s pharmacy staff on duty. Extremely annoying.
..actually it’s more ..a Fontina and Raclette crowd ..:)
