drug store and more
There's a word in American English referring to a pla\ce you go to for coffee. I have heard it pronounced something like "starbux". What's the correct spelling? what do people do there? How come it is not in the dictionaries?
Another word is "drug store". If no drugs are sold there, why is it given this name?
what is the difference between a drug store and a convenience store?

American: Drug store = pharmacy = (I think in England chemists??)
You get your prescription medications (a type of drug) there, as well as over-the-counter medicines (another type of drugs), like for colds. Most drug stores also have varous products that you find in larger stores, which makes them convenience stores too - some staple grocery items, for example, candy, etc.
