I use Target. Walgreens if I have to, but if it needs compounded I try to use the apothecary shoppe. Not Saffa.

What is kinda neat about Target are the unique shape of their prescription bottles and how each family member can have their personal colored ring near the cap for quick identification purposes.

It's also neat how they can fill a prescription in 20 minutes and if a prescription is due to be refilled on a certain day, it's ready that day. When you talk to the staff, they also seem to have at least a basic knowledge of pharmaceuticals.

At drug warehouse I tried to get sudafed once and they had them all behind the counter where you can't see them and the staff really couldn't explain the different kinds "well this one is $12, and it's red"

Not kidding.

"Does red mean it works better?"

You can imagine the sudden limitations on my vocabulary I experienced.

Must be a local staffing issue.
I use the on at 116th N Garnet and the only time I have had to wait more than 5 minutes was when some dumbass was asking 20 questions and telling the counter lady her life story. After 10 minutes of this the pharmacist stopped packing pills and came over to help me.

Target is the best as pharmacies go imo. I really like Thorazine Thursdays and Morphine Mondays.  :D
