I have a question for my readers. Is there a social stigma around buying Valentines Day gifts at Walgreens or Rite Aid?
For those who are not fortunate enough to live in the Pacific Northwest these are basically chain pharmacies that sell a little bit of everything. At the moment they are selling impossibly soft teddy bears, loads of semi-fancy chocolate, and cards with more glitter than a second grade craft fair. It all appears to be fairly good quality merchandise, not too kitschy, but they are a mass produced item that can be bought quickly. So do they carry the stigma of being "cheap" and "uncaring"?
