Sam's Club Gives Kids Candy In Pill Bottles
by Sandy Maple Jun 30th 2009 3:00PM


Sams' Club is a membership store and has a checkpoint at the entry
where shoppers must show their identification before entering. But at this
particular store, employees weren't just checking member cards, they were
also promoting the in-store pharmacy by giving children prescription
medicine bottles filled with candy.



That's right, they stuffed Tootsie Rolls and Dots into real prescription bottles
with real prescription labels and handed them out to children. I think this takes
the prize for sending the wrong message about prescription medication.

After complaints about the promotion, Sam's Club dropped it and issued an
apology. Deeming it an "isolated incident," Sam's Club Corporate
Communications Manager Susan Koehler promised it would never happen
again.

It would seem that this was a case of a rogue pharmacy department trying to
be clever without corporate approval. But does it really take a degree in
marketing communications to recognize the sheer stupidity of this idea?

SQUISHY'S THOUGHTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happened to the good ole' days? 
When we were encouraged to be just like our parents?





Remember, when it was KOOL to be like your
favorite baseball player...







Bottom line.... Pharmacies are just legal Dope Dealers competing
for your prescriptions.  Why hold them to a "Higher" Standard. 
We, might as well get them started young!!!
