I am the owner of a community pharmacy now for 18 years. We serve our customers with love and care, but it just gets harder every year to keep head above water. The worst is if patients come for advise to us with a bag full of medication they got from one of the big guys were there is no service, and my loyal paying customers must wait for their turn to be served. Further more the postal pharmacies over supply the patients with meds they use prn, a huge waste of money,and when they are late to deliver those patients come to us, and want us to break a box for 5 tablets just untill they receive the postal meds. Patients are not to blame really as they have no choice in the matter. Medical aids dictate the whole business and even want to tell the Dr what they may or may not prescribe
