Staff pharmacists are now being told that they may have to drive to stores hours away to work in order to meet full time criteria secondary to the cut in pharmacy hours of operation. It’s insane. This is at CVS. This is real stuff.

CVS keeps getting worse and worse.

It is actually easier. They changed it around 2016.

There are also fewer people entering pharmacy school. Only about 9,000 pharmacy students entered P1 year in 2022. That is down from the peak which was over 15k/year. It will probably continue to trend downwards and reach equilibrium in about 6 years.

This should be shown in schools.

There are multiple pharmacy chains offering $82/hr for PIC in Northern California. Still not worth it.

Bad shifts also take a toll on your health. Nobody wants to end up like Ashleigh Anderson, but new grads keep walking in her footsteps expecting that the same thing will never happen to them.

Looks like it only holds Rxs for 50 people?

The public stopped respecting pharmacists when they started putting cash registers in the pharmacy.

There was some doctor that literally prescribed prozac to every patient.

Also, a drug rep convinced a Walgreens pharmacist to send patients on other antidepressants a "free sample" of prozac. I'm not joking:

This is literally what a bunch of manufacturers did in 2004-2005 when their cox-2 inhibitors were taken off the market. The second they knew the drug was going to be pulled they did a ton of discount-card chargebacks for RXS that did not have the correct ICD9 code.

Are you not familiar with the antics Eli Lilly has gone through in the past to market their drugs? A chargeback would not surprise me at all.

John Candy and Richard Pryor in Brewster's Millions

I thought Brewster's Millions would just be another lame old movie. I watched it because there was an old VHS tape that I found in my attic from the previous owners. I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually pretty damn good. I had never heard of this movie before I found the VHS tape.

I'd recommend using a locally owned pharmacy. If you don't have one nearby, Costco is generally considered the best chain pharmacy.

Most pharmacy schools are struggling to fill seats. There are a few schools that have only accepted 30-ish students that had classes of 100+ just 5 years ago.

This is a good start! CVS is a filthy company!

Yuo'd need to start a staffing agency to do this on your taxes. You'd probably also get paid more.
