I sometimes have to wait 10 minutes or so for the pharmacist to be available but that's no problem. Then the pharmacist counts out the pills in front of me. They never have seemed to mind doing this - I tell them I have to keep a log for each pill I use, so I always want to be sure I'm starting out with the right amount. I left Safeway because some always seemed to be missing and then started doing the pill counts at this new pharmacy. Haven't had any problems since the changing pharmacies.
That's a good idea. If they have nothing to hide then they shouldn't mind recounting the pills.
