<p>Pharmacies are not fast food places. They need qualified technicians as well as licensed pharmacists to be sure the proper medications are dispensed accurately. Getting your prescription in an hour from the time you "placed your order"is not the same as quelling your hunger immediately. Having to wait relative to the use of the product is very short. That food is consumed rapidly, that prescription doesn’t need to be used immediately (or you would be in the clinic/hospital getting it stat).</p>
<p>Anyone know of pharmacist shortages in this country? I suspect it is easy for pharmacists to find jobs. Likewise pharmacy technicians- are there enough or too many those with the training can’t find jobs? As with other health care fields I suspect there is a lot of dissatisfaction with the way management runs things in the search for the almighty profit. Customer impatience/demand for instant service driving the industry?</p>
