What does everyone think regarding retail pharmacies being open on weekends? Typically most places are open Saturdays with shorter hours while some chains are open 7 days a week. Do you truly believe it’s necessary to be open all the time? If there’s only a 2 pharmacist rotation you’re basically losing half your weekends in a year. I understand it may be more convenient for some people to come Saturdays but most locations are open later in the day anyways.
If I was offered the same money at two jobs, being closed on weekends would be enough for me to take that position so just curious what others think.
We're 8-9 monday-friday, 8-6 Saturday, 9-5:30 Sundays but we rotate through pharmacists because we're a chain with a lot of sister stores. Pretty much everyone works five 9-10 hr days with one weekday and one weekend day off. Some of us hate it, some of us love it. The only days we're properly closed are Christmas and good Friday. I personally work every public holiday because I'm a new pharmacist, the pharmacists that have been around longer get to take them off. I do get salty about the hours that we're open, but also get a reality check from a few friends who work at 24hr stores and have to do over night shifts. Swings and round abouts
