Just take a look at the new Walgreen's TV commercial!

It is a typical attitude of chains and their idea of professionalism.
I wonder how they think pharmacists can even leave the counter, when
there is no way to even fill all the RXs in each day safely.

In a typical pharmacy today, there are no breaks, no lunch time, no sitting down for the whole day (which can be 13hrs), reduced or no tech or clerk help, (cutting payroll costs). Target is a lone wolf, today, in that they close the pharmacy for 1/2 hr each day, so their employees, can have at least that short break to eat and rest a bit.

I find it ironic that this article comes from Harrisburg, Pa. Home of RiteAid.

One should always check their prescriptions! Always. In fact you should photocopy your RX before taking it into the drugstore, in case your doctor has made an error, and that error is not identified. It will serve as a record for your quantity ordered and refills.
