That's why you need pharmacists to speak at the corporate level.

"It's a toss of the dice," said the Florida Pharmacy Association's executive director Michael Jackson. "No one knows."

They are. In favor of it.

I feel like a lot of people are making a bigger deal out of this than it is. It's not like people follow the current ratio anyway.

Yes I remember what I said. 😆

It's true though. I don't know any pharmacists that closely follow the ratio.

I had never even heard anyone mention this ratio until seeing it on SDN

I bet you will pay attention to it when the State Board inspector comes in and cites you for violating it. In Texas itvis a $1000 fine, 2 years probation and 20 hours of law CE.

When the board inspector comes in, the extra tech magically transforms into a clerk, cashier, shelf stocker, etc. NY ratio is only 2:1.

That's what happens here too. Our ratio is 2:1 and 3:1 if a CPhT is there. If they work as a clerk they don't count.

Wisconsin has a 4:1 ratio. The fifth or more tech goes onto the schedule as a cashier. Ratio laws are a joke.

Wayne who is the Inspector that handles most of the Dallas/Ft.Worth stores has been in my store at least 4 or 5 times in the last 4 years and has never paid any attention o the tech-pharmacist ratio- guess he could if he wanted, but to this day- I never heard of a Pharmacy getting fined for the ratio.

I know of a pharmacist in NYS that got fined. CVS paid for it.
