Answer 4

Tobacco manufacturers pay for the counter as long as it carries their logo and is near the front. If it was near th back the tobacco company would not pay and the shop would have to spend more money.

Answer 5

That is one good question! I never thought of it but you make an excellent point! Ridiculous,isnt it? But many drigstores have a drive thru now,so thats even easier but God forbid you have to go inside,Im a real miserable mess when Im sick.

Answer 6

I am thinking that it may be because the drugs are safer in the back of the store. Sometimes people break into drug stores for their drug habit. If it was in the front there would probably be more robberies. Drug stores are set up like 7-11 and WAWA for convenience..easy in and easy out.

Answer 7

Simple dear. It is to spread the sickness in the shop to get more customers as well as get the sick person more sick to extend his customer relationship.

Great Sales Tactic
