Weird. I did the same thing, @Suppressed :thud:
But that was for make up and sundries. Now I go to the Walgreens they built across the street from the cvs. Better prices and a cleaner store,

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.

I've been using the same pharmacist for 18 years. He knows me like the old time pharmacists in the mom and pop stores. I'm very lucky 🍀

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was tilting at windmills, but even if I am, at least I have company when I face the giants! ^-^
