Maybe you should try going to a U.S. pharmacy for a list of "don'ts." They (or atleast, the ones I've seen) simply ask "Do you have any questions about this medication?" in a tone that implies that you are to say "no," and ask you to step aside so they can deal with the next druggie.

I have had several prescriptions filled in Canada and have been quite impressed by the pharmacists. I guess they are required to go over side effects, interactions, etc.; but they actually managed to seem to care about whether I had any questions/comments. Once, I filled an antibiotic in ca and I ended up talking to the pharmacist about Nardil (which I was on at the time) and some of the other medications I had taken in the past (not just the basic stuff I could've learned from an insert, but observations from his practice, etc.) (oh, and I am quite social phobic, so this whole conversation was initiated by him.) Of course, this was small town, canada so people there are like that anyway...
