It's hours and quotas, and staffing policies that ensure the pharmacists are always occupied, i.e., customers wait in line. As in other industries, consolidation has led to near-monopoly. And because it's regulated there is little danger of new pharmacies, or of a pharmacist setting up their own shop. So the chains with the gov't franchise consults to take advantage of the workers. Obviously not every location is like that, but in big cities it is obvious they are overworked.
I have Kaiser , I’m not much of a dr or pill buyer but I go in the pharmacy often to buy vitamins, happy feet orthotics for my daughters shoes and lotions and potions - Cortaid , mosquito repellent etc . I’m in San Diego and there is this massive new hospital that they built, it’s like a resort for gosh sake and the pharmacy is nice and great prices, I drive by it often , so I stop in to shop as one would a rite aid or wallgreens etc . It is fully staffed, like they are sitting around waiting for customers, so I was using that as a comparison ,, now that you mention it anytime I’ve seen a cvs or rite aid etc they are swamped with people waiting all over in lines — so I can see that ! Thank you ,, it’s not good ,, they have people addicted to all kinds of drugs and now they are going to be holding out on people ,, this is so sick, legal drug addicts thrown to the streets without their drugs , very very sad ! Another way to kill people.
