What I don't get is...The pharmacists' job appears to be counting. Not sure when it became a requirement to have a university degree to count up to 14 (or multiples thereof)
You get your prescription, walk into the chemist, hand it over. You can see your box of pills on the shelf behind them, but will they just hand the box over. Will they hell. A "Minion" has to take the box to "the Pharmacist", who then takes the box, opens it up, counts all the pills, seals it up again, gives it back to the Minion, who puts it in a paper bag with a repeat prescription chit. The ordeal still isn't over - the minion shouts out your name, asks for address, asks do you pay (well someone has to!) then reads you the riot act about not taking certain pills with certain others etc.
So it takes at least 2 people 15 minutes to move a pre-sealed box of pills about 3 feet from the shelf where they were stacked to the "customer". You get home, take that day's pills and wash them down with a nice single malt.
