I really do hope some places shut down the pharmacy part, I'd love to see the situation reversed. see the public outcry and the store simply saying we cant have a pharmacy in a place that sells smokes.
I think this will hurt places like shoppers more than you think and wouldnt be surprised if they shut down the pharmacy. I dont see anyone going grocery shopping there. Most of that stuff is only sold if someone is in shoppers anyway for a pack of smokes or picking up prescriptions. If you are in desparate need of milk or eggs then there are countless more macs and 7/11s around that are much more convienient. So either way they are going to see a huge hit to their bottom line.
