Do grades matter for non-residency jobs?

Do your grades in pharmacy school matter if you're looking for a position other than a residency after graduation? (For instance, a community pharmacist or an entry-level staff pharmacist at a hospital) Do employers for these types of positions even look at your transcript? I've had to repeat a course in pharmacy school and am wondering if this will disadvantage me when I look for a job after graduation. Thanks.

I did have a job (that requires residency) ask for transcripts.

ehh...Ima buck the system and add a GPA section on the online application for staff positions.

While I don't think it hurts you, I think that applicants that tend to volunteer that information on their resume are helped by it. But again, its only 1 of many factors that influence job selection.
