Hands Up!

My mom and I were shopping for last minute items and remembered we needed to get Advil cold medicine for the family in Uganda. We hunted the shelves and could not find it. Finally, we realized you had to take a card to the prescription counter to get Advil cold medicine. We chuckled and went to the counter; not knowing the shake down we were about to go through. To get this medicine- you must now show your ID, sign an agreement, pay right there, two more signatures, and then you receive the medicines in a stapled white bag. All of this for Advil cold medicine. We walked away feeling like we had just bought illegal drugs!
