I missed the days where we are not using brand names to replace household item names.

Depends on how you define it.

I am 100% with tom - I used to work in a pharmacy, and would get people who argued that they want "xxx brand" even if it hasn't been manufactured in years, and that they won't take any substitutes/generics.. I view those people as hopeless sheep

Oh, that sounds a bit harsh. Anyway, the consumer is always right! lol

not when you have what they want but don't know, + that extra bit of knowledge

Yeah, of course. But substitutes/generics it might not work for everyone.

and the brand that no-one has manufactured in years and no-one has in stock will work better because....?

The doctor said so.

 

[Slapshot136]

The doctor said so.

and.. that's not the case 99% of the time

 

[tom_mai78101]

Just tell the customers that their favorite brand name has changed brand names. Easy.

Says the lowly pharmacy worker. I'm going to go ahead and trust the doctors.

Good idea, we need to get some lawyers involved in this thing.

In fact, they are often quite different.

no, if the doctors said "use the brand name" there usually is a checkbox on the prescription like "no substitutions" then that is one thing.. but 99% of the time they don't.. just because they don't keep up with the latest generics doesn't mean that they say to not use them - just like if someone says they want a kleenex and you offer them a box of puffs tissues they won't care

In fact, they are often quite different.

and.. yet again I don't understand what you are trying to say


if a fake photo is created in GIMP, does it make it not 'shopped?

 

[FireCat]

Hmm like I said. Another brand name at the thing or whatever" It doesn't mean it would give same effect. Then you can figure out "why some costumer want the old one" But I do agree, If they stopped to manufactured it. Well, they have no choice to take it Or, they could at least try.

lol, no. It's been gimped by some asshole that couldn't get Photoshop.

I don't have enough memory for Photoshop.

Can't you just steal some from the factory?
