This Is Why Big Box Stores Win

by SteveMan

I thought I'd try a local, independent pharm and ended up in a Monty Python skit.

Me: "I'd like to fill this script for Lipitor"

Them: "We don't carry that"

Me: "You do know it's the most written prescription in the US right?"

Them: "We mostly carry generics".

What's the point??? Why even have a pharmacy? Wal-Mart SHOULD drive these guys out of business if they can do it based on service & price.

• Pros: Local - Not a Chain
• Cons: Unable to Fill the Single Most Popular Rx in the US
