Perhaps I give too much credit to emporiums suffixed with ‘warehouse’, but I expect that a pharmacy that sells prescription drugs to be able to understand the most basic of grammatical concepts. I mean, these guys have the power to dispense codeine but can’t understand you don’t put an apostrophe on plural nouns?
If that wasn’t bad enough, they’ve neglected to include a question mark on what has become one of the clumsiest sentences to ever adorn a shopfront window. How do colds and flus save money this winter? It’s like they got one of their retarded, drug-addled Sudafed addicts to pay off his increasingly large debt by doing odd jobs around the store. One of them had to be this.
Naturally, a prim older sales assistant – a true Chemist Warehouse devotee – had the brainflash midway through dying her increasingly prominent post-menopausal mustache that white paper inside the window simply wouldn’t make their point strongly enough.
‘Stop! We need pink paper. And on the outside of the window- take that!’
Thankfully, some brilliant like-minded individuals, instead of shaking their head and angrily writing blog posts, took advantage of its vulnerability, and rectified said problem.
These grammar police deserve to be saluted. Smith street thanks you.
