Is there a better pharmacy to use that treats their employees better...
Your local independent or local chain.
CVS is the most convenient to me, and they don't seem overworked when I've been there.
Edit: maybe also online ones like cost plus? I don't know how they are as a company.
In my area, there's one independent pharmacy in a metro of 3m+ people. Walgreens bought all of them and closed most of them. Our options are Walgreens and CVS.
I second the local. If you have one, they would like your business. Grab some candy and an emergency birthday card while you're there.
Several years back I got totally fed up with cvs and Walgreens. It was impossible to get ahold of anyone on the phone, and they were always backed up in the store because of lack of employees. It was a huge hassle because I take care of my grandparents prescriptions, and there are like 15 medications per month.
Switched over to a local pharmacy. Every time I go in, they have tons of friendly employees working, I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes to be helped, and I call and someone answers the phone within seconds most of the time. And the prices are about the same.
I guess Costco if there aren't any local options
If you still have a local non-chain pharmacy use them until they go out of business. They will eventually because the chains have a stranglehold on pricing and are actively raising costs for independents, then offering to buy the business as it founders.
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus drugs is my refuge from pharmacies. It's cheaper than the chains even if you have insurance, but I can't be my Adderall through them.
Find a local one if you can.
I'm stuck with corporate pharmacies, unless I want to drive 45 minutes one-way.
As we head into a world-wide recession, job opportunities are dropping. Employers will no doubt take advantage of that to further exploit workers. I'm afraid things are going to get much worse before they get better.
