It's just a commercial. It actually is saying pharmacists are here to help customers find medication.

I think it's nice. Would you rather the commercial be about us at the drive thru or calling your insurance?!

Hey look, Walgreens has pharmacists that are knowledgeable. Hey Nancy look, I go to the website and I can find out what my Walgreens pharmacists look like and where they were trained. Oh look, he has a doctorate? That's fancy. I want to go there.

I don't know why you are all so negative on an employer that probably employs 10% of all the pharmacists in the country.

I just saw the ad on the television.It is kind of stupid I dont think its funny.
Really what are they trying to say?
We dont care about our pharmacists whether they get bumped we just care about our customers.
Well we already know that atleast now they are showing it to the world.
I really would like to know the name of the genius who made this ad.

I personally thought the CVS commercials were more annoying from a pharmacist's POV. The patient is "It's all about me". Trolling around the pharmacy aisles in a Segway right up to the pharmacist asking for a flu shot. Reminds me of one time a patient wanted us to give it through the drive thru. And the pharmacist just walking around all la-di-da like he wasn't even doing anything... LOL.
