Reasonable breaks for pharmacists.
 

I went to Walmart over the weekend to pick up a prescription.  Clearly posted is a sign that states if there is only one pharmacist on duty the pharmacy will be closed for 1/2 hour at lunch time.  Clearly Walmart understands the importance of giving a worker a lunch break.  Allowing a pharmacist to take a real break for a half hour will help them to function better and make fewer errors.  Hopefully, the DPH will be as enlightened as the evil giant Walmart.  Thanks.
