    This is bad, but around where I live, most of these pharmacies are helmed by teens just old enough to work there. I’d imagine many younger people in these positions would just do what the cops are asking: Cuz they aren’t paid to think, insufficient training, they just wanna get the day over. They deal enough with crazy customers as it is, let alone the hastle from cops. And if their policy of just let the shoplifters walk, why would it be different for cops?

        Often, there will only be one pharmacist and everyone else will be pharma techs. I think it depends on your state what education the techs need to have. But there are definitely just certification programs (less than a year long) rather than full blown degrees for it.
