It not only depends on your regional supervisor, but also the store managers. I had been happingly ringing up those with a few items for years, whether they were pharmacy customers or not. My store had a high rate of theft (especially from the meat dept which we were near in the back of the store) so the night manager took it upon himself to tell us that we could not ring up any non-prescriptions after dark. Both myself and the other RPh were so upset that our patients had to ring out at the pharmacy, then go up to the front to ring out a soda that we talked to our pharmacy supervisor, who immediately put the kibosh on the night manager's made up restriction. Whether you like to help ring out items for others or not, speak up and let your pharmacy supervisor know how ringing up is negatively affecting your Rx performance or customer service and a good supervisor will listen to your feedback and take action.
