It was a walk-up, not a drive-thru, but I made the mistake last year of needing feminine convenience products (or something) at the CVS on Senior Discount Flu Shot day ... during the Flu Vaccine Shortage Crisis.

I actually was the only person in the store looking to buy something, but the line of seniors stretched all the way around and through the store ... they were passing out juice and cookies to the folks waiting so they didn't pass out from low blood sugar. I had to shove a couple oldsters on walkers out of my way to get to the StayFree pads, but there wasn't anyone in line at the registers ... I was the only customer who wasn't there for the shot.
