That's kind of what I mean by "oily". :)

I'm sorry to hear about your wife's situation; that sucks.  Rite Aid was 
bought out by Walgreens years ago.  That is another pharmacy that 
charges higher prices than others, at least in my area.  Knowing an 
insurance company will pay gives them no incentive to lower the cost of 
prescription drugs.

> Tops Friendly Markets grocery has a pharmacy. on principle, just nope.

What principle?  I've used the pharmacy at Publix Supermarket.  Lowest 
prices for prescriptions in town.  They accept GoodRx which lowers the 
cost considerably (maybe even better than an insurance co-pay, if you 
have a co-pay, so free GoodRx is worth checking into).

Sounds like a wannabe doctor who didn't qualify for medical school. 
I've never encountered a pharmacist that questioned what my doctor 
prescribed for me.  That would irritate me, too.  I'm the only person 
who has the right to question what my doctor is prescribing for me and why.
