I get a prescription filled, which I have had filled 10 times before, yet
each time I get it filled again, they tell me the pharmacist needs to "talk
to me" about it. And the pharmacist tells me the same things each time.

And while the pharmacist is talking to me, there is a long line of people
waiting for their prescriptions to be filled...

Seems to me the person taking payment for prescriptions could ask if you
have had that prescription before or this could be noted in the persons
records, then no need for the pharmacist to talk to each person about their
medications (if they have been "talked to" before). And thus there would be
a shorter line because the pharmacist would be filling prescriptions instead
of talking to people!
