[QUOTE="BikerHT, post: 2133672, member: 24483"] Of course, filling prescriptions is not what “take your business to Walgreens” means. The phrase is dismissive, contemptuous, practically an insult meaning something like “don’t bother me with your ********.” It first appears in Burroughs’ work in Junky: When I complained about the wholesaler, Bill Gains got snappish and said I ought to cut the stuff more. “You’re giving a better cap than anybody in New York City. Nobody sells sixteen percent stuff on the street. If your customers don’t like it, they can take their business to Walgreen’s.” [/QUOTE]
