Yes; I worked in a pharmacy that was held up 3 times in 6 months. I was not on any of those times, but basically, my co-workers gave the thieves no reason to hurt them.

We talked about it briefly in one of my classes. I don't think pharmacies are any more (or less) likely to be robbed than say, a convenience store or a bank.

I disagree. We've got all the good stuff: money, drugs, and cigarettes. I guess in some states, they've got guns, too; it's one-stop shopping for your posse.
Do they sell booze in drugstores stateside? Here in Ontario, alcohol is sold in government-run outlets. But if you've got booze, there's one more thing to make you a target.
My former workplace was also especially vulnerable because we were close to the on/off ramps for a major highway = quick getaway.
