Any independent pharmacies depending on prescription profits are DEAD.

There is a ton of money in OTC, supplements, immunization, POCT testing, etc. You have to adapt and start adding these services on or else you’ll be broke from filling Rxs.

Yup, PBMs are doing their best to squeeze out every last cent from pharmacies. Independents just don't have the leverage to get reasonable contracts.
Independent pharmacies can be some of the best places to work. (or they could be horrible, it really depends on the owner)

Really?!?!?! Where did you hear that?

From pharmacy owners and pharmacists who are about to open their own stores

A colleague got offered a role at Walgreens for $94k as a fresh grad. Was this just a total rip off from Walgreens or is this actually average base salary for Walgreens as a fresh grad?

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night!

I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted. Lately I've heard a lot of really negative and hurtful comments about patients who are picking up contraceptives, and about people who are pro-choice. I don't usually bring my political views to work, and now I feel like I honestly can't say anything without making work really uncomfortable for myself (I'm pro-choice). What should I do?

How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?
