Sam’s Club Giving Kids Candy In Pill Bottles
June 25th, 2009Via: Consumerist:
The Sam’s Club in Salisbury, Maryland, is promoting its pharmacy by handing out pill bottles filled with candy to kids. I guess that’s better than filling Dots boxes with Vicodin. Or handing out gallon-sized jugs of Nerds.
On the downside, as a pill recipient at Salisbury News notes, “Now my 3 year old thinks all prescription pill bottles are just tasty snacks”.
in general, large retail stores are an extremely bad environment for children aged under six or seven years. especially up to about four. just like tv really. the Wal-Nightmare sounds like it is the last place to take young kids. but then again, i hear that a lot of places in the US have no other retail outlets apart from a Wal-Hell. isn’t the free market (sic) wonderful!
