Thanks for this one, it took me back to a golden age for late night talk shows, SNL skits and president jokes.

Just a heads up in case any of you ever happen to call your pharmacy instead of doing stuff online or via the automated phone system or any of the other easier, faster ways to do it; We don't need your entire life story or the event that happened 4 months ago that necessitated the medication or you asking for a refill. We're going to do it with or without knowing everything about your life. Just ask for the refill and hang up.

doctors never make mistakes, so you don't need any training to be a pharmacist
I have asked several 'counter pharmacists' what they actually DO now in the age of google, and have never gotten a good response. There have been two instances in the last few years when I have asked pharmacists specific questions about the mode of action of certain drugs, and was extremely disappointed. not that they didn't necessarily know the answer, but that they didn't even really understnad what the hell I was asking. any time that I have asked a pharmacist about possible drug interactions, I've seen them go immediately to google.
so, rams, help me out. not trying to be a dink here, but why does the average walmart pharmacist (or any 'counter pharmacist') need all the education? what is there that I'm not seeing beyond 'go to this giant bottle of pills. be sure it is the right pill. count 30 of them. put them in this smaller bottle' ?

We might be fortunate, the local drug peddlers are incredibly helpful and seem to have a vast knowledge of their products. They always ask if you have taken it before, and offer suggestions and talk about potential side effects.

Honestly, they don't. The only thing your average pharmacist is going to know that a technician won't always know is interactions and mechanism of action. And even then just through overhearing or choosing to learn on our own, technicians will know most interactions and some modes of action. It's basically the difference between a doctor and a PA. Very similar jobs, doctors just have more focused/specific training and are legally allowed to do more things without needing to be supervised. Not that it would be allowed legally, but we could easily run a pharmacy with nothing but experienced technicians.
That said, most of the pharmacists do know absolutely everything about the medications, they just don't get to do a whole lot with it in a retail setting outside listing side effects and interactions to patients as they pick the meds up. In a perfect world, the doctor would handle primary care and diagnostics and the pharmacists would get to handle writing prescriptions
