That's cool. That means that they can rush in to stop shoplifters, determine whether or not someone has committed a crime and generally run the store, which seems to either have indoctrinated Pharmacists into the State Police or succeeded from the Union. Either way, ya gotta wonder, WTF?
What am I talking about? Kroger. Not the character in Animal House, the grocery store chain:
Kroger Co. said Friday it was reiterating its drug policies to all of its pharmacists after a Georgia woman claimed she was denied the so-called "morning after" pill at one of the company's stores. The Cincinnati-based grocery chain said if its pharmacists object to fulfilling a request, the store must "make accommodations to have that prescription filled for our customer."
Wow, what a radical concept. I guess that should include contraceptives, right? Have they ever denied selling condoms to men? No. So, what's the problem?
Among them was Carrie Baker, who said a Kroger pharmacist in her hometown of Rome, Ga., refused to supply her with the contraceptive. The 42-year-old married mother of two said she asked the store's manager in December to order the contraceptive but was told that the pharmacist refused, even though the decision contradicted company policy.
Maybe Kroger's Pharmacy Cop thinks that Carrie doesn't have enough kids, and he is trying to help in his own special way? Maybe Kroger would like to foot the bill for the doctor care, birth and the 5 billion dollars it costs to raise a child today. Or should people try to be responsible? Ya think?
OK, so it's only about 89% effective, and you gotta jump on it kind of quick, but it sure as Hell beats the alternative. If women are cool with it, then there shouldn't be a problem.
Unless, of course, you get Pharmacist Cop who wants to rule the world one pregnancy at a time. If someone has conscience issues over drugs, maybe they made a bad career choice. Meanwhile, obey the laws put in place by the people and count your pills.
Major pharmacy chains such as CVS Corp., Rite-Aid Corp. and Walgreen Co. also have pledged to ensure that customers can buy Plan B, even if one employee declines to provide service for reasons of conscience.
Another victory for common sense. Isn't there a test these people can take that can get them yanked out of Pharmacy College and into a field that is more to their liking.
Like vice cop.

The problem is that people are becoming pharmacists so that they can further the cause of denying access of EC (and sometimes other forms of birth control) to women.
Until pharmacies start firing these people, this will only get worse.
Guess I need to go on Pill Patrol.

Geez. What a life goal they've set for themselves. God's little cops.
That site is pretty cool. I suppose it was a bit naive of me to think that there wasn't a problem.
Of course, it falls right in line with their global warming stance and all the other junk they preach.
PHARMACIST COPS.. OMG...It never fails to amaze me that there are actually people out there who think they can make life altering decisions for people based on their own beliefs.. GADS...
Dude, you just so crack me up.
Anyway, as for Kroger...I shop at Publix, this is one more reason to add to why.
Gotta love the Bible belt, full of preachers and hypocrites.
