In reply to the discussion: #PizzaIsNotWorking: Inside the Pharmacist Rebellion at CVS and Walgreens [View all]KPN
(16,370 posts)20. The Rite Aid in my town has had horrible problems keeping
it pharmacy operating the past 4 months. They have lost at least a couple of their pharmacists for one reason or another and cant find pharmacists to replace them except on a here and there fill-in basis. Their hours are subsequently unreliable and people have been finding it impossible to get a prescription filled through them timely or even close.
There are also two local semi-department stores (same company/name) that have closed their pharmacies in the past few months here. As a result, our Safeway pharmacies (there are two) seem to always have long lines of 25 or 30 people waiting to pickup prescriptions.
Something strange is going on with pharmacies. Dont know the whole story, but its crazy.

OP
How do they control who gets the drugs though? That's something I never understood.

We should accept the slant some blogger gives to the issue? "Rebellion"?

Yep. It is a squeeze. You know what needs to go? Excessive corporate profits.

Good. They resist corporate models of salaried employees that show corporate contempt for humans.
