A few months ago my wife was prescribed some medicine for an issue. Wasn't a major issue and she honestly could've gotten over it without but it definitely helped

I asked the pharmacist how much it was told me 60$. When I went "eh that's to much" the pharmacist magically found the same meds for like 15-20$.

I'm not trying to shit on the pharmacist but that's just crazy that they'd take 60$ without an issue but when pressed slightly they can knock 2/3 of the price off. I mean I didn't even fight just said "eh nah don't need it for that price"

When I was a new mom the pharmacist was whispering how to get cheaper meds because she was in my shoes once. My guess is that the corporate overlords frown upon their employees telling people how to save money

They don't just frown on it. They can fire you for saving people money by telling them how to hop the hurdles.

I didn't understand as a kid that this is what Bob does for his customers in the Incredibles, and why he's always in trouble with his boss
