Whenever people flip out on pharmacy staff because their medication isn't covered 2 weeks early by their insurance, or their control/narcotic can't be filled early, or they can't give a new bottle of meds without an active refill or legitimate prescription, etc. Do they just... Forget that these meds are regulated intentionally? Like, you NEED a prescription (in the States at least) to be allowed to receive these meds. They HAVE to be regulated to some extent otherwise they would all still be over the counter available for purchase with 0 restrictions.

Do they just not know? Why do they think pharmacies exist the way the do and are run the way they are? For fun? I genuinely don't understand patients sometimes...
