Anyway, I have been most appreciative of our local Shoppers pharms. I can't even explain how outstanding they've been. We have stayed with them because of that - and I only hope our new Shoppers is as amazing (we're moving this week). They were so amazing here, I sent in a commendation letter to corporate/head office. That's what I care about, that's why I stay - the points thing was just a byproduct that was kind of nice, and allowed us to purchase some items for our kid when she was very ill, and all our money was going to keep her healthy.
I said "could have", but as a Franchise, Shoppers didn't feel it was a good practice to offer bonus points on prescriptions. That was a shoppers decision. You never could offer bonus points on specific medications though, that's federal law
