When it occurs that everyone at the pharmacy recognise you, know your name and even remember what medicines you take, this is when you realise how frequently you visit the pharmacy. I made the mistake once of walking down the make-up aisle, an error I will not repeat. The sales ladies are truly relentless and aggressive in their selling techniques, appearing to sneak up on unsuspecting customers, ensnaring them to buy things they never intended purchasing. I suddenly found myself virtually being accosted by one of the enthusiastic staff and before I knew it she was applying make-up to my face, and seconds later was escorting me by my arm towards the cash desk. I was almost in a daze with which the speed of it all happened, and clutching face cream, rouge, and eye shadow, none of which I needed, I fortunately came to my senses and put down the items quickly leaving the pharmacy. Although I give the sales assistants 10 out of 10 for being persistent, I now steer clear of these zealous women who must work on commission and will go to any length ensuring a sale. So a little advice, when in the pharmacy, avoid the make-up aisle at all costs, unless of course you intend purchasing.
