  1. When people say there is a shortage of pharmacists and technicians, what they mean is that there is a shortage of technicians willing to work for barely above minimum wage and pharmacists who are responsible for filling and checking hundreds, even thousands of prescriptions per day without enough help, no lunch breaks and long hours. Perhaps this is a way to combat some of those issues.

    1. I think you are correct. Based on experiencing my Walgreens collapse under its own weight of mismanagement, under staffing, low pay, and overworked pharmacists, it had to literally shut down.
