      <![CDATA[I like it when they have the diapers, always, and depends all in one aisle. It's like a woman's entire life condensed down to 20 linear feet.<br />
<br />
Also, condoms & pregnancy tests <i>do</i> get stolen a lot. Don't be embarrassed to ask the staff for them or any other item in the pharmacy. That's what we're here for. If you want advice about medications, the pharmacist should be happy to talk to you.

People steal pregnancy tests because they are expensive and embarassing, even if you want to be pregnant.

      <![CDATA[I've heard condoms and pregnancy tests are one of the most frequently stolen items in stores. I had to get a test from the pharmacists a few months ago. I had more shopping to do so I started to walk off and she was like, "um... you have to pay for that here."<br />
<br />
WTF?<br />
<br />
First of all: good job on making a married woman feel like a dirty, irresponsible slut. Second of all: I'm not a goddamn teenager who has no money to pay for it and has to sneak pee on it and hide the results!
