In the past I’ve used a small, local pharmacy and the experience was great. It was fast and - more importantly - I felt like the staff wasn’t miserable. With the ongoing amphetamine shortage I’ve had to spend a lot of time calling around and seeing who has my medication in stock, then having my doctor send the prescription there. As a result, I’ve seen a lot of pharmacies recently. CVS and Walgreens both seem like awful places to work (with the obvious caveat that this is drawn from a few very local datapoints). Extremely understaffed, so the staff was harried and had to deal with customers who were often pretty irritable by the time they got to the front of the line (I waited 30 minutes yesterday at Walgreens, 40 minutes at CVS a few months back). I would have expected the pharmacy at the Super Walmart to be one of the worst in terms of working conditions, but they had a lot of people working, so the line moved pretty fast and no one behind the counter looked anywhere near as harried as the pharmacy techs at Walgreens/CVS.
