What I miss were the old neighborhood Mom and Pop pharmacies where the owner knew everyone by name, what medications they were taking, and, if you presented a scrip for something that might clash with what you're already taking, would call your doctor. Didn't need a computer. When the scrip was filled, he would give you a little talk about when and how to take the medication and alert you to any possible side effects.
And the pharmacist had the drug you needed on hand. None of this "we ran out. Come back tomorrow" nonsense. Today's chains treat the patients like cattle. You're a faceless number to them.
This is an example of big box shiny stores puthing the little guys out of business because allegedy the big stores could do things faster, cheaper and better. But the chains are not an improvement over the family-run stores.
