I just went to a pharmacy myself to pick up something for my wife an hour ago. They ask for the name and birth date of the person you are picking up for. Then they show you the drug(s) you are picking up and ask if you have any questions for the pharmacist.

I’m a pharmacy tech, and yes, that’s how it goes - except with deliveries.
Where I work, deliveries are bagged into opaque plastic bags, labeled with a name, address, and order number, and a delivery service arrives (rarely do Uber and other similar services pick up from us, but it’s the same). They show their pickup list, make sure all orders are present, and don’t know what’s in those bags unless their app tells them - which it shouldn’t. That’s a HIPAA violation.
It’s over the counter. See post 29.

True but Plan B is OTC, according to Google:
Plan B is usually the easiest — anyone can buy it over-the-counter without a prescription at most drugstores, pharmacies, and superstores, no matter your age or gender.
