I don't think that the price is always fair. The pharmacy issue has particular poignance for me right now. At 9 a.m. yesterday I called Rite Aid and asked that the pharmacist call my doctor for a prescription, an antibiotic for a painful infection, and made a point of saying that his office hours ended on Fridays at noon. At 11:30 I went to pick up the prescription and waited in a queue for 25 minutes, only to be told that my doctor's telephone had been busy.

Pfui! He has four lines and he is not that busy on a Friday.

When I called again yesterday afternoon, I was told that the prescription will be ready at noon today. That's an utterly unnecessary 24 extra hours of pain. The small pharmacy would have been on the telephone and gotten the necessary information. Had there been a difficulty in getting through, the pharmacist would have given me enough of the antibiotic to see me through the weekend (knowing that I had taken it before).

You bet I'm grousing!
