Pharmacies and drug stores are synonymous here, dispensing or not.  And
I noticed another thing that I didn't before:  There are some pharmacies
(such as some Walgreens and all WalMart locations) which are 24-hours,
but are only dispensing during banker's hours.  Not sure how you would
tag a pharmacy that may or may not be dispensing depending on the time
of day.
