If you say, though we'll probably have to agree to disagree. I've spoken to someone in healthcare who knows that cvs treats their pharmacists like crap. It's interesting how you're also surmising why most pharmacists don't open up their own shops, and basically writing a glowing review of cvs. Considering how many mom-and-pop pharmacies cvs keeps putting out of business too.
"Even if there were infinite jobs, people still wouldn't work." Ah, I get u now.
To me there are still far, far worse things in the world than retail theft. After all, those owners can just go get one of those many, high-paying jobs out there. Heck they can get $16/hr at cvs!

I have 4 different friends that do quite well owning their own pharmacies. 2 of these 4 are a married couple that have 3 different locations. So it can be done. It may not be easy, but CVS certainly isn't standing in their way. If you don't have an acumen for the business side of things in addition to the pharmacy aspect, than you have to work for people that do. I can tell you that the stress of owning your own pharmacy isn't less than what you'd experience working for CVS. Plain and simple.
As for my "glowing review"? Well, I like the fact that I can click a few buttons on an app and have my medication refilled without talking to a single person. I like that CVS has the most seamless and efficient pipeline of communication and acceptance with virtually all insurance companies. The day that the mom and pops can offer all of that, I will happily transer all of my prescriptions over in support.
$16 an hour for no work experience or skin in the game? I'd say that is fair. I wouldn't say it's unfair. And if you think you're worth more at another place than go to the other place. Do you honestly believe that mom and pop would voluntarily pay more than that if they didn't have to? Some of the greediest and stingiest people I know are independant small business owners. They steal employee tips, cheat on taxes. You name it.
$500 million in retail theft at Target alone last year. You don't think that effects those of use who choose to pay for our things? But that and everything else aforementioned is besides the point. Retail theft is just an example I used. Of course there are much worse problems. But generally speaking, I just don't understand the logic of retaliating one wrong with another. And these looters aren't stealing from CVS because they have a grudge with the fact that the CEO of CVS probably making $10 million a year. They probably don't know or even care. They loot and steal because they're shitty, lazy, selfish, useless people. And they're fcking everywhere now. No crime should be condoned. Whether it's white collar, blue collar or no collar.
And what are you insinuating when you say "Ah, I get u now."? First of all, I said "looters wouldn't work" not "people". You really think the thugs that are going around stealing catalytic converters are all of sudden going to be like "Oh, now I can go work a 9-5 at an office" at the slightest onset of a booming job market? C'mon, now.
