I am a retail pharmacist for a chain pharmacy in Virginia.  I am on my feet for 13 hours a shift and really have a difficult time getting a lunch break with the ever increasing volume our stores are seeing.  It would be nice to have a requirment that chain pharmacys set a designated 30 minute break so that we can get our eyes away from the computer for a few minutes.

I also support the limit to a 12 hour workday, as 13 hours is exhaustive to be standing on my feet.  We also have a responsibility to accurately dispense medications to patients and I definitely see fatigue playing a role in dispensing errors at pharmacies around the state.  This change would improve the work environment for pharmacists by allowing us to be more alert and focused.
