Actually, she did say it. The long line was for people picking up
prescriptions. There was another one for dropping them off, and that is
where the red line queen held court.

I go to a local independent pharmacist. I never have to wait more than a
minute or two. If someone is there ahead of me and the girl on the
counter is buys with that person, someone else comes over to help. The
same happens when I pick things up. If there is someone else being
waited on, another on of the staff will drop what they are doing and
come and bring me the prescription. They always go through things to
make sure I am aware of any warnings and possible side effects. The
pharmacist also sometimes calls to see if the prescription is working.
