Hi,
I followed P. from the larger grocery pharm to a smaller one,closer to home, that had just opened a pharm. I had gotten irritated at the larger place, because there were often either 1. a young guy (hey girrrls where are you??) who didn't couldn;t hadn't gotten to the point of being able to interact with customers...like ask the right questions and understand and listen to problems with out being overwhelmed or 2. Had the OLD OLD OLD pharm, who ALWAYS got my prescription wrong.
P. is sharp, to the point, modest, honest, generally is able to get assistants that do a good job. His partner pharm is his opposite, funny, extrovert, younger and reaches out beyond what you would expect. But then they know me for almost 13 years.
The only complaint, if it could be called that, is the print out they give me with the meds is next to worthless. I think it may be just a disclosure/lawsuit protector type thing
I think the person who chooses and stays to choose a career in community or retail Pharmacy are a rare breed. Retail is a tough business anyway and to combine that with critical thinking, scientific, medical, math, inside a windowless room filled with bottles and being asked questions in person and by phone all day...
