Difference with chemist

What is the difference between vending=chemist and vending=first_aid ??? All of them, it's about OTC, no ?? --Agaric (talk) 15:12, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

I find this tag very misleading. "First aid" as used on the machine in the photo is advertisement. It seems to sell various medical tests, sex supplies, feminne hygine, tissues, some over the counter candies, and only very limited variety of band-aid and bandage. Other machines in the very same design by the same operator (picture can be found elsewhere) seem to sell even more personal hygiene items such as tooth paste & brush and shower gel. This machine has nothing to do with first aid and is lacking almost every item that must be in a first aid kit. There aren't any wound antiseptics, no wound cleaning suppplies, not even gloves. This is a really stupid marketing lie IMO, and OSM should not dilute the terminlogy "first aid". "First aid" should be reserved genuine medical contexts. This machine is better described as vending=chemist. But frankly, I woulnd't map these machines just become of the companies misleading marketing. --Freetz (talk) 05:21, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
