There should be a law that an employee of a store open to the public may not refuse to items the store is displaying as for sale. No need for debate about morality, a law is missing so get one passed. Alternatively, a store may have its business license revoked for refusing to sell an item displayed as for sale, at least that might force them to call managers or other employees to do the checkout.

Because at the core, he didn't want to fill the prescription because her medical needs somehow offended his personal religious beliefs. But I don't think it should have anything to do with opinion or discrimination. The fact that a pharmacist can legally, in some states, ignore a doctor's order for medicine for personal reasons is well beyond anything I would consider reasonable.

In what ways might this have unintended consequences? A good example to think through is alcohol and intoxicated people, and more generalized, a belligerent customer. But, coming back around to the pharmacist, we have an opioid problem which was largely enhanced by bad pharmacies, but this is also where it can be reined in. Some good pharmacists have refused to fill prescriptions because they thought something nefarious was up with pain killers and drug dealing.
- _8j50 4y agoYou can have exceptions I am extremely against freaking pharmacists overriding a perscription. I have been in a situation where a pharmacist asked me to prove my condition. This shit like this is why I will never seek treatment in the US for any condition unless it is emergency life or death situation. No respect or consideration for patients' dignity.
