Was looking for pharmacy hours. Need my meds today.

"AI overview" showed me it was open til 10pm. I squinted and looked at the correct results below: open until 7pm.

Going to gets my meds now before it closes.

Fuck AI.

This is the reason 100%. The Pharmacist and consultations is what matters. Pharmacies rarely hire to have more than 1 pharmacist on at any given time. Just like many stores only have 1 manager on at a time.

Hell, in some areas where legal, CVS and the like have been trying to switch to remote pharmacists via video calls to not even have to hire for each location! Just taking absolute minimum staffing to the next level to optimize profits even more. You thought it was bad not having an extra employee to cover call outs and vacation? Now it's being constantly understaffed to optimize profit.
