The good old days are passing by. On average, most pharmacist work in chain drug stores, ie wal-mart, CVS. They have a quota of rx's to fill daily, odd since they cannot stand on the street and wave in the traffic. The independent pharmacist are becomming a thing of the past. They (and some chain pharmacist still do) provided more time with the customer, not only with the meds, but asking how the family is doing etc... The chains are so aggressive (pricing,usually) that it has forced many independents out of business. For ex. a CVS will pop up across the street from a very successful independent store for 30-40 years and shortly thereafter with much success, buy the store (customer list) out. Sad situ. Sorry to ramble, Blessings,
