And you seem to not comprehend the issue.
Retail pharmacists work 10-12 hours on their feet with no break, and only a recently mandated 1/2 hour lunch. They are responsible for everything that happens in the pharmacy- their license could be lost due to a technician’s error. Working conditions have deteriorated since the plandemic. Hours have been cut to boost profit. Most retail pharmacies are dispensing more immunizations without compensation/increase in staffing. In addition, pharmacies are being asked by insurers to do medication reviews by contacting customers by phone when they have no time to do so (and of course retailers LOVE that small pittance of revenue even though the staff sees no increase in salary). Pharmacies are also facing a record number of drug shortages and all that entails (notifying customers/dealing with irate customers).
Meanwhile, you are demanding pharmacy employees adhere to their “contracts”!!! Here’s hoping you don’t fall off of your high horse. You might need an overworked pharmacy employee to provide safe medication for your wounds.
I really don’t know which is worse. Commie UNION THUGS or the Hammy Paraglider Murderers.
I couldn’t be a Pharmacist because I’d never work for a friggin’ thieving union. Americans are now paying 18 bucks for a hamburger, a few fries and a coke so the bass tards that run the union don’t have to work.
Most Pharmacists are very smart people. I was a tech for 3 years, thought about Pharmacy but I just didn’t dig chemistry to the degree one has to to become a Pharmacist. These people are almost Doctors, they are well paid, however the job is very stressful and boring.
I can understand pharmacy schools not getting sufficient applicants because the primary skills, chemistry and math are not being taught in grade school anymore. What with the diversity and inclusion and such.....
Scary Shite.
“highly educated clerk”
And an unnecessary and expensive intermediary in the dispensing of drugs. How many people actually talk to the pharmacist? You can get more thorough information on the internet.
That would be the goal.
“These people are almost Doctors”
Again, any newly licensed pharmacist IS A DOCTOR (of Pharmacy). PharmD.
They are probably more knowledgeable about medications than your MD.
When you ask them about your rash, they know what they are talking about. They also know the best medication for you illness. Period.
Please tell them, “Thank you.”
>> Retail pharmacists work 10-12 hours on their feet with no break, and only a recently mandated 1/2 hour lunch.
Pretty sure it’s a full hour at CVS.
Regardless, the hours you cited are not that impressive. 80/week all 52 weeks out of the year, that’s impressive.
Failing to do one’s job by providing the prepaid scripts, that’s not impressive. Pharmacists are not special in this regard.
Keep in mind that I never once marginalized the typical pharmacist’s commitment to education and devotion to the job. Furthermore, I have no problem with collective bargaining in the private sector. But pharmacy is in reality a hybrid sector as its funding originates mainly through taxation and mandated insurance — funding that effectively has the pharmacies on retainer. There are plenty of sectors to FAAFO, but not in the case. Don’t like the conditions? Then give a two week notice and find another line of work.

Don’t all chemicals have shelf lives? How do you store yours so that they’re still viable in 1, 2, 3yrs?
Some drugs like tetracyclines turn toxic.
As my MD told me, most meds have indefinite shelf life.
But look it up for yourself,
You literally posted, “ Curious about the effective toxicity of too much insulin” on another thread.
Sit down.
There is something called binding arbitration.
It would prevent an interruption of vital drug dispensing.
Congratulations on your stellar investigative work regarding a benign curiosity expressed in another thread. You got me real good — lol.
and unlike teachers, they must study math, calculus, stats, biology, microbiology, etc etc with lots of labs....its not an easy degree like some..
govt workers get fat wages, benefits, vacations, and pensions and can retire very early...NOBODY seems to complain about them...
how do you “bank” meds?....we’re on tricare and I don’t think they’ll let us get more than a 90 day supply...
It’s not at all. One of my roommates in college was a Pharmacy student. He literally did nothing but study.
They have no contractual obligation. You seem to be fond of making crap up.
And now the already understaffed Walgreens next to me has switched the pharmacy to 24/7. So that’s gotta be fun for them. And now they’re on strike. It all makes sense to me.
