seriously, whoever gets their prescriptions filled out at Shoppers is getting ripped off, it's so much cheaper at independent pharmacies.
plus you're helping out a small business owner vs. a massive drug chain store

YAY Shoppers Optimum Points lol.
No but seriously, I used to have a Optimum Credit card and with paying for textbooks and everything I easily racked up 80$ worth of points for Shoppers.

I prefer small pharmacies. The one at MUSC knows me by name and are great with filling out my scrips, even in a rush before they close when I've needed them. I will still go to them vs Shoppers, but if they're closed, I'll go to Shoppers.
I feel like you're going to get a lot of people at Starbucks who sit there all day. I could be wrong because the only Starbucks I have any experience with is the one near Square One which is a very high traffic area and wasn't previously near any universities, but that's just my thoughts on it. I also have a feeling this could get annoying really fast if people save an entire table for 5 people at one time and you need to sit down. Could be wrong and if so, I'd love to hear more about the flow dynamics at Starbucks.
