Their method may sell more flu shots, but it's sure not an efficient
way to handle prescriptions. *(they can leave in the flu shot stuff)

Those flu shots must be a huge money maker. *I noticed several local
pharmacies that have put large signs all over their lawn, as many as 20
signs on one lawn, advertising these flu shots. *Then after they make a
huge profit, you hear on tv that they "flu of the year" was not the one
the shots were made for..... *Also to be noted is that some people get
ill from the shot.

I tend to wonder what long term side effects these shots havce too.

I got one once, got sick shortly after, and have refused to get them
ever since. *It's just another scam money maker, courtesy of another
crooked company. *If I'm gonna get the flu, I'll get it, and survive it
just like I have other times in the past. *The flu is seldom fatal,
except for people who are already weak and sick. *Of course the media
loves to blow up the truth abotu the flu, like they did in recent years
about the "swine flu". *Later we found out that this flu never reached
the epidemic that was originally stated. *Once again, these companies
inflate the truth to make a buck!!! *When are Americans gonna wise up to
all these scare tactics that advertisers use these days?

As for the time to fill a prescription, I fully agree. *How frikkin long
can it take to count out 50 pills (in the automatic pill counters they
use these days), put them into a pill bottle and apply a label? *If
there was a hundred people waiting for prescriptions, I could understand
the delays, but most of the time I go to the store, there are at most 5
people waiting, and I have to sit there for an hour or more for a bottle
of 25 antibiotics. *Worse yet, when it's a tube of ointment that comes
prepackaged, adn all they got to do is type my name on their computer
and stick on the label that was printed.

I've also tried the call in advance method. I call, tell them my doctor
called in a prescription, give my name, and ask them when it will be
ready. *They tell me to come after 3pm. *I arrive at 5pm, and still have
to wait a half hour for them to call my name while I sit in the waiting
area and am the only customer. *Too bad we cant charge them for our time
on an hourly basis.....

Why don't you go to college and obtain a degree in
Pharmacy and get licensed -- you will then realize
there is quite a bit more to it than counting pills in
a machine and putting a sticker on the bottle they
are sold to the customers in...
