There's a lot more involved in the treatment of patients than the supply of medicines or the issuing of scripts. Look at the wastage - why are so many items requested, prescribed supplied and then left untouched in their original containers?
Some are lonely and need someone (anyone) to see them, some need to feel special, some need to go through the motions so that they have someone keeping an eye on their condition until such time as they feel that they need treatment.
If you believe that community pharmacy is about prescriptions you're missing out on most of rewards of the job.
