I guess it's officially called Martin's Southgate Drug.
It has a post office and pretty much dominates the block it occupies on Capitol Blvd. just as your coming in to Tumwater south.
I went in for post-its thinking it was reasonable to expect a sampling of office stuff since there was a post office.
I wanted the kind that just mark a page or point to where you need to sign. I had to navigate through a maze of "country" gift collectibles and flowery body products just to find the small office supply section. They had the 3x3 size and it was packed the size you'd have to buy at Costco...ok, whatever.
And then I thought, "Pharmacy = personal care...
I'll get some tampons while I'm here"...
Back through the maze, this gift and collectible stuff is soooo predictable, we've all seen it and I can't escape it! Well I looked and I looked and do you think I could even find a section resembling personal care?
So, I was done...TOO HARD!
I thought about putting back the post-its because they weren't even what I really wanted but I decided to get them. I stood in line behind a woman who had a basket brimming with the country stuff.
I apologize for judging that country stuff, I know some people really like it. Maybe the name should be Southgate Gift Store.
