Tips:
- This drugstore has a post office in the back left corner of the store.
- There's a PC Financial ATM by the checkout area.
- Beware of folks parked next to your vehicle in the parking lot. I had a man swing the passenger door so wide that it hit my vehicle and didn't bother to apologize until I explicitly stated that he should.
This Shoppers Drug Mart was great in that it had everything that I needed. What I didn't need was having a careless man swing his passenger door wide open and startling me when I was inside my vehicle. I heard a loud thud, which was his door hitting my car's side mirror.
Here's the longer version...
I was in the area. I needed a Shoppers Drug Mart. (SDM) This one was across the street in a plaza that I had been to maybe a decade ago. The Baskin-Robbins store is still there. I had never been to this SDM, so I drove over here.
I parked fairly close to the entrance. I got out of my car and walked in.
I have owned a few night guards over the years. My dentist had always said to rinse it under water after every use. He never said that I needed to use toothpaste and a toothbrush to clean it. I'm guessing it's because the toothpaste and brushing may be abrasive to the night guard's material.
I learned that Polident has a gentle cleaner for night guards. I wanted to get it. I walked into this store and found the oral hygiene section. I was pleased that the product that I needed was on sale. I was happy.
This store has a post office in the back left part of the store. It was open when I was here on a Saturday at around 4 pm. Next to it was an electronics and game section that looked cool.
I browsed around the store. The clearout section was by the frozen foods. It's worth looking at what's there, as it's different in each store. I also welcome savings.
I was here on Valentine's Day. Easter merchandise was alive and kicking. Poor Valentine's Day.
I decided to go with the human at the checkout to pay for my goods. She asked me if I had a PC Optimum card. I had the barcode from my SDM app scanned. I then paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good.
This store does have self-checkout kiosks. It was nice interacting with a human. I thanked her and headed to my car.
I put my items away in my reusable bag. I then looked at my phone to figure out eateries close by to fetch takeout for dinner.
A minivan backed into the parking spot next to mine. I was startled by a thud. The passenger swung his passenger door so wide that it hit my car's side mirror.
I looked at him, startled and angry. He looked at me, got out of the car, and walked behind to the back of his vehicle.
I rolled down my window and asked him why he ran away. His wife said that she didn't want to hit my car. Of course, you didn't. Why chime in? You didn't hit my car. Your husband did.
He and his son, who drove the car, stood behind their minivan. So weird.
I got out of my car to inspect the side mirror. No damage, thankfully. I took a photo. I then went in front of their minivan and took a photo of their licence plate.
I then confronted both men. How about an apology for hitting my mirror? The son apologized. I acknowledged his apology. However, his dad who did the act should have apologized. He claimed that he did. Nope, I watched you after you hit my car's side mirror. You didn't say a word. You got out of the vehicle, shut the door, and ran to the back of it because you were likely scared.
I'd recommend being careful when you are parked in this area. You could deal with a careless person who doesn't seem to care about his vehicle's door hitting your vehicle.
It's best to own up to hitting a vehicle and saying that you're sorry. Having the person whose car you hit prompt you to apologize isn't ideal. Be a good, responsible human.
