* A retail chemist (pharmacist): They sell medicines, over-the-counter drugs, medical supplies, and sometimes beauty products to the public.
* A chemist in a lab or research setting: They don't sell anything directly to the public. Instead, they create and analyze chemicals and materials for use in various industries, research, and development.
* A chemist working in a chemical manufacturing company: They are involved in the production and sale of chemicals to other businesses, industries, and institutions.
So, the answer really depends on the specific context!
