Walmart Pharmacy

Walmart has one of the top Pharmacy chain in the country. they provide medication of millions of people with affordable prices. Walmart has the deal where patients can get their prescription drugs for $4 a month. This is avery good deal for the patients who can not afford a lot of money.

Right now, my major is pre-pharmacy so someday I want to be a pharmacist, and I would consider Walmart as one of the places I would like to work for. They have very good salary and benefits. My cousin, who just graduated from pharmacy school, got a job offer at Walmart down in California. She told me a lot about their company, and a lot of it are really good feedbacks.

On the other hand, there are patients who can not stand Walmart pharmacy. their reasons would be that it takes too long to get the medications. In this review article, a pharmacist, who works at a Walmart pharmacy, defend the pharmacy with the argument of a lot of people go there to get the drugs because the price is very affordable so it takes a little longer than other pharmacies. If one is there to get the drugs because of the price then why can't they understand that others would do the same thing. She aslo argue that people think all they do is to put the drugs in the bottle but the truth is that they need to contact the doctors and do all the paper works before they can deliver the drugs.

In conclusion, Walmart pharmacy is very good place for both the employees and patients. Everyone will get treated with respect and professionalism.

Question: Would you get your drugs at the Walmart pharmacy?
