 I'm researching mom and pop pharmacies in my area. I'm going to make a switch because fuck these big chains.

Agreed. We have one that was torched during and rebuilt after the Murder of George Floyd. 
 @3967703f I switched to a local independent pharmacy a few years ago, and I couldn't be happier. It's so nice to have a familiar face greet you by name when you walk in. They bend over backwards to accommodate your needs, and don't hassle you about your prescriptions. It makes such a big difference, especially if you're prescribed medications that some chains treat as a moral failing. Walgreens treated me like a criminal every time I walked in. Now I'm treated like family.

I found independent pharmacies treat us better...more personalized, respectful, friendly and faster service.
They don't screw up the prescriptions.
No delivery charges-but we tip the driver.
