It’s honestly the corpse of a retail store being dragged along by a perfectly healthy pharmacy. Every rx sold, regardless of what the customer pays, nets Walgreens the full value of the script. So when grangran runs to Wallygreens to pick up her no cost diabeetus meds, walgreens gets the full 1000+$. And that’s every script sold, every hour of every day.
I was a certified technician in that pharmacy for 5 years. I can tell you with confidence that is patently false.
