14. My local Walgreens had to cut pharmacy hours

They can't hire enough pharmacists and techs that are willing to work for that pay for those hours so they cut hours. Some locations don't have pharm hours every weekend or every evening. There are 3 within 5 miles of me. One has pharm hours on weekends 1 and 3. The other is open weekends 2 and 4.

By contrast the local family owned pharmacy that does compounding, delivery, special packaging for seniors and lots of charity work has so many people working behind the counter they bump into each other all day. ... but they stick to pharms and health equipment.... well except they did recently put an old drink cooler near the checkout with water, gatorade and pedialite.
