"I worked in a chemists" vs "I worked in a chemist's" vs "I worked in a chemist"? [duplicate]

I worked in a chemist

Er, no: that would be rather uncomfortable for both of you!

I worked in a chemists

Chemists is a plural noun, so a chemists can't be correct.

I worked in a chemist's

This is an example of ellipsis: "I worked in a chemist's [shop]". Using the possessive is entirely correct.

I worked for chemists during my first two years of university.

This is correct: chemists is a plural noun, indicating that you had more than one employer/mentor.

Store names & possessive deals with people's names, not shop types.
