The first occasion was to fill a prescription that was not covered by our health insurance. My other occasion to shop at the Rinconada Pharmacy was at the direction of my high schooler's orthopedic physician. These incidents, coupled with the Rinconada Pharmacy's inconvenient hours of business, caused most of the neighbors I know and me to shop elsewhere. The former Rinconada Pharmacy has changed its name and moved to Vasona Station. This location is significantly closer to the medical parks and Los Gatos Community Hospital located on and around Knoll.
Strong anchors bring in more good business for all stores within a shopping center.
What about those of us neighbors who have busy schedules with work, school and volunteer responsibilities. We would like to have to drive less, maybe do less stringent schedule planning, and not expend quite so much on fuel. I don't enjoy going out on a rainy night to purchase medication for an ill child or spouse, and I enjoy it even less when it takes 30 to 45 minutes to accomplish the task. But, that is not the point. I did not oppose its right to do business in the center, and made a personal choice not to shop there.
