Just outside, or inside too...? Our Wegmans spent the summer renovating the pharmacy area... got it done earlier this month... or at least the part inside, I'm not sure if the driveup window is operational yet... Mostly it seems that they opened up the space so the whole back part of the pharmacy is now visible from the customer side of things... it might have made things more efficient for them....

Ah, so the inside as well.... ;) I guess you'll see what the new decor is when they unveil it... ;) Have they announced an expected date of completion....? :) NB>>>> Richard's usually the one grabbing the milk... sometimes they're NB>>>> all the same date, sometimes there's a wide spread of dates... so NB>>>> he always looks at least quickly at the selection... :) BM>>> Good man! :) I bought orange juice the other day -- they must have BM>>> just restocked as full except for two. Glance at the dates: left BM>>> front 6th, all the other ones appeared to be 3rd. Hmm! Grabbed the BM>>> 6th. NB>>> Yup... we would have also.... :) BM>> I'm thinking most people would but there are always those who do not BM>> pay attention -- and I'll admit to being part of that group at times. NB>> We try to stay attentive... ;) BM> I purchased a bag of 88› salad the other day: the bags at the front BM> were all the same date and far enough out we'd eat it before the BM> expiry. Do a quick check to make sure no gunkies inside. Last week had BM> gallons of orange juice on sale -- did pull one from the second row in BM> as a later date than the first row.
