RW, > Do you really think that Walgreens has no effect on the family owned pharmacy? Have you forgotten that my wife is a pharmacist? Pharmacists in retail are generally treated like well-paid convenience store clerks. Not much room for professionalism. And it's all because of the Walgreens and the CVS's that have displaced traditional local pharmacies. So now what? Break up Walgreens and CVS? The net result will be the same. Unionize the pharmacists? Yeah right, no one is going to have any sympathy for professionals making as much money as pharmacists do. I probably sound like I'm whining, but hey, I'm not going to fall into the anti-corporation trap and and pretend that things were necessarily better back when we had fewer big box marts and store chains. In fact, I think we are indeed better off with Walgreens and CVS, but there are always consequences of killing off small business, and the better we deal with them, the better off we'll all be as a society.
