And you seem to not comprehend the issue.
Retail pharmacists work 10-12 hours on their feet with no break, and only a recently mandated 1/2 hour lunch. They are responsible for everything that happens in the pharmacy- their license could be lost due to a technician’s error. Working conditions have deteriorated since the plandemic. Hours have been cut to boost profit. Most retail pharmacies are dispensing more immunizations without compensation/increase in staffing. In addition, pharmacies are being asked by insurers to do medication reviews by contacting customers by phone when they have no time to do so (and of course retailers LOVE that small pittance of revenue even though the staff sees no increase in salary). Pharmacies are also facing a record number of drug shortages and all that entails (notifying customers/dealing with irate customers).
Meanwhile, you are demanding pharmacy employees adhere to their “contracts”!!! Here’s hoping you don’t fall off of your high horse. You might need an overworked pharmacy employee to provide safe medication for your wounds.

Pretty sure it’s a full hour at CVS.
Regardless, the hours you cited are not that impressive. 80/week all 52 weeks out of the year, that’s impressive.
Failing to do one’s job by providing the prepaid scripts, that’s not impressive. Pharmacists are not special in this regard.
Keep in mind that I never once marginalized the typical pharmacist’s commitment to education and devotion to the job. Furthermore, I have no problem with collective bargaining in the private sector. But pharmacy is in reality a hybrid sector as its funding originates mainly through taxation and mandated insurance — funding that effectively has the pharmacies on retainer. There are plenty of sectors to FAAFO, but not in the case. Don’t like the conditions? Then give a two week notice and find another line of work.
