you named it!
CVS, Walgreens, Happy Harrys (owned by Walgreens), RiteAid, I'm sure there are other chain pharmacies out there depending on the region. Im south east so those are about the only 24hr stores I see.

I worked in a 24 hour pharmacy once on the night shift which was 8pm -8am with 4 hour break when you tried to grab some sleep.
Customers at 2am were a very odd bunch of pimps, addicts and the occasional weirdo. In those days amphetamine was used as a nasal decogestant and sold as Benzedrine inhalers, Crystal Meth (Methyl amphetamine, Methedrine) also used. One customer bought a benzedrine inhaler, casually dropped it on the floor, stamped on it to crack it open and then tore off a strip of the amphetamine soaked paper inside and swallowed it down.
I often worked from 8pm til midnight, then to bed and woken up at 4am for 4am -8am shift. What with the noise, camp bed etc I found great difficulty in getting off to sleep. Nembutal was most effective and short acting.
A three week stint was enough but great experience.
