Calm down SoHo friends!
As stated in the article:
"men aren't actually coughing up more than they normally would at the register; rather, she's offering a 7 percent discount for women—“
this makes up for how women are often overcharged for over-the-counter and beauty products (on average 7% according to the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs).
This is a friendly reminder to treat your friends and neighbors as equals and to read articles in their entirety before passing judgment.
With love from your neighborhood pharmacy,
