Chicago to Dallas: Is retail pharmacy better?

Why is median houshold income being discussed here? TEXAS and dfw are great especially with no state income tax and one of the cheapest real estate in the country. Property tax will get you though. As a long time dfw resident who recently moved back to northern Cal, I don't have many bad thing to say about dfw other than the unbearable 2011 summer. But I'm glad to have moved. That being said retail is retail....so they say.

Wow...you are already gone huh?

And having lived there the only 2 places I would live are Heath And Lucas. Everywhere else is just a suburban sprawl congestion with snooty stayhome soccer moms in 6000lb suv.

It's a shame that with all the available land people live cramped in suburbs with houses on top of each other. Get you a house with at least an acre.

Why an acre? What are you going to do with it besides spend 4 hours in the 110 degree heat one a week mowing it.

I can have it mowed and I just enjoy having a good parcel of land. Why not?

Southlake, Colleyville, Flower Mound, and Keller. All average median income for a household ranging from 110K to 190K.

I don't see that in many but a handful of Chicagoland suburbs.

Obviously if you start taking into account Ft Worth, Richland Hills, etc - then yes, they are not affluent.

Everything north Dallas is affluent by my standards - almost all earn a median above $100K from Frisco, Plano, to Allen.

Which Chicago suburb do you find affluent other than the North Shore, Naperville, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge, and Hindsdale? I don't think there's many more than that. Compare that to the majority of northern suburbs of Dallas and the eastern suburbs of Tarrant County.

Affluent areas have patients on public aid. And affluent customers can be total asshats to work with too. I'd rather work with the poor. But if getting an opportunity or getting hired in an Hospital better to go that way.

Poor or rich, smart or stupid makes no difference. 99% of the general public turn into inconsiderate a-holes when they step into the pharmacy. That and their IQ drops by about 50 points. Most people don't have 50 points to spare.

From what my wife tells (complains to) me... that's very believable.

It's interesting how even in a public hospital ER, they are not as unruly (to the docs at least) as they are to you pharmacists in the private world. It's crazy.

You guys bend over backwards for these fools that they begin to expect it as a norm. I really feel for you guys.
