So the big pharmacy in the U.S is the buy Boots. I wonder if somewhere down the line all Boots stores will be renamed as Walgreens?

Question, would you reject the idea of Boots renamed as Walgreens.

They've been rubbish for years. I used to buy tons of stuff from there every week and knew many of the staff by their first names. Nowadays I hardly ever set foot in the place.
