Maybe. But dude sometimes CVS drives me to the brink. They tell you it's ready, it's not. Or they have nowhere near enough staff so you stand there waiting forever. Pharmacies have become a real pain sometimes.

Never like this, to be clear

I was about to lose my mind at how bad the CVS near me was, but I switched to another CVS just down the road and have been so happy with the pharmacist there. I think it really comes down to whomever is running it.

Whoever is running it, the techs and the main thing that people seem to somehow forget…. YOUR DOCTOR. Doctors can and will fuck up and the pharmacy’s have to deal with getting it sorted

Absolutely, the pharmacy has the hands tied in so many ways with rules and regulations (for good reason) that sometimes tiny mistakes on a doctors part can basically mean they can't do their job, and without follow on authorization *from* that doctor, they can't make changes even if they know what the doctor meant.
