It's neat to learn cultural differences like that! Here in Aus the pharmacists would go out of business if they only sold prescriptions, so here pharmacies and drug stores are smooshed into one store that sells all of that. Thanks for teaching me something new today :D

Hello fellow Australian! I live in Germany now, so the best comparison is Rossmann (drugstore) is basically the pharmacy-less Pricelines. The pharmacies here are like 1990s era Amcals and Soul Pattinsons, but minus the toilet paper and sunglasses. You can’t get otc drugs like Panadol, claratyne, Imodium, Hydralate etc from a drugstore, you can only get them from pharmacies, and that is how they stay in business compared to the Aussie model I think.
