@gratchford yes, personnel change everywhere, but the pharmacy owner does not. If I am not mistaken, every pharmacy (including one in a big box store) is owned by a pharmacist, and you would be consulting the pharmacy owner about setting up the blister packs.

Also, personnel may change in pharmacies, but patient records in pharmacies don’t so arrangement for blister packs can be done by any pharmacy regardless of personnel turnover.

In the US most pharmacies are owned by big corporations, and the pharmacists are overworked employees, often moved from store to store to cover. Some stores here in MN have even had to close their pharmacies for hours or days due to a shortage of pharmacists. We are fortunate to have a good pharmacy in the local supermarket, with adeqyuate staffing and helpful employees.
