"any non-pharmacist owner who commits any act which would subvert or tends to subvert the efforts of the pharmacist-in-charge to comply with the laws governing the operation of the pharmacy is guilty of a misdemeanor"
To which CVS says......BBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAAHAAAAAA!!!!!!! What a quaint little law from a different time. Kinda like the one still on the books in the nearest town from here that says a driver has to honk his horn at the city limits in order to warn any horses on the street.
"But.....why were you looking at a pharmacy permit application Drugmonkey?" some of you may be asking.
More will be revealed my friends. Stay tuned.

The (kinda) suspense is killin' me! Are you gonna drag this out 'til May Sweeps?
Okay, I'll wait with eager anticipation; when your book arrives Friday, maybe the time will pass faster for me!
I'm just saying. You live in the state where it is illegal to drive more than two thousand sheep down Hollywood Boulevard at one time.
Well, that is a lot of sheep.
True enough.
You are back. I feel like crying tears of joy. Oh, wait, not that was just the smell of pre-adolescent boy's shoes that brought tears to my eyes.
Asacol 'remake' rots the big one. Smells as bad as turds in space.
Nice to have you back. Really.
So, do you need a partner?
We recently had a CVS district meeting about a new crazy scheme to "improve" customer service (after slashing our tech hours by 20%). In a nutshell, it goes like this: The Beatings Will Continue Until Customer Service Improves. You guys all know the schtick. Anyways, a bunch of us CVS pharmacists gathered for a drink after the asinine affair and I decided to ask a most personal question: "How many of you are on an SSRI due to job stress?" (I just recently had my own Doctor prescribe me citalopram to help replace the Makers Mark Bourbon; my insurance wouldn't cover whiskey without prior auth) EVERY SINGLE FUCKING HAND IN THE ROOM WENT UP! I'm not fucking kidding. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At the end of the day, though, we all found that bourbon and gin go very well with SSRI's. Oh, did I mention that my Rx supervisor is a cunt? That's not sexist. Male of female, still a cunt.
Just judging from the above comments, it would seem that you are headed down that road that leads to greater independence and ehthics. Good for you!
BTW, your book arrived from Amazon today, and it appears to be very well done.
Thanks.
Glad you guys at CVS got together. You need to really get together and see about forming action plan to counter the POS CVS that it is. Perhaps get on board with a union. Every pharmacist I talk to wants to get the hell out of CVS, a stinking hell hole.
Crush CVS, a new war cry.Turning pharmacists into drug pushers to enhance some phone metric dollar bottom line. They have crushed our profession and it won't stop unless we as a profession do something. They cannot operate without us! Drug pushers for profits is not helping our most trusted metric!
PS-monkey--lets partner together and create a new chain that respects the profession of pharmacy and their pharmacists.
Just read your 1st book and most of the second while on lockdown in Boston last week. Both are awesome. Gave me some good laughs during an otherwise very tense time.
Are you thinking about opening your own store Drug Monkey? Call me first ... the stress is WORSE than dealing with the Chains. I'm not gonna sell out ... but a nice drug induced permanent coma is looking better and better every day
So what's the deal? Did you open a pharmacy? A "massage parlor"? A restaurant? A zoo? I vote zoo.
Hi Quiltlady- I'm daydreaming of opening my own pharmacy or buying one in 10 years. What are some pitfalls you are facing?
