I have a problem. They just opened a mega Shoppers Drug Mart three blocks away from me and I am there EVERY day! If you don't know what a Shoppers Drug Mart is, it's one of those super pharmacies that carry everything you need and do not need.

Anyways, the new one near me has everything - a really deluxe cosmetics counter, a jewellery counter, a grocery store, a home section that sells blenders and coffee makers. On top of it all, they're always offering all these buying perks like extra "Optimum" points all the time. Those Optimum points always get me, I now have more shampoo and miscellaneous cleaning supplies than I really need. It's gotten to the point where the counter people recognize me and ask me whether I am a neat freak. It's a little embarassing.

Those places should have signs outside "BUYER BEWARE! YOU MAY FORM AN ADDICTION" - it would be the responsible thing to do.
