In my short time as a Pharmacist I have worked in WV and VA as a retail Pharmacist.  I have worked 14 hour shifts at a chain pharmacy and 9 hour shifts at an independent pharmacy.  I cannot express how completely exhausting it is both mentally and physically to stand for 14hours without getting a lunch break.  When working at the independent I have always received a lunch break and I feel this improves my accuracy.  Getting time to put your brain in neutral gives you the break you need in a profession where perfection is the standard.  Working such long hours without a lunch is extremely dangerous for patient safety.  In a profession where there is no room for error, it should be without question that we should receive a lunch break.  I appreciate that discussion has been opened to help shed light on this issue.
