Do they put them in the bottle anyway? I don't know how that rule works with pharmacists!

I am a retired pharmacist, so I better take the 5th on this:)

Uhhhh, really? You're not a pharmacist by chance. Not mine, I hope. Just kidding, thanks for sharing. This did give me a chuckle. What if the pharmacist is clumsy and drops lots of pills while he's on the clock. Or just can't find that pill. Where did that pill go?

I am a retired pharmacist. Unless you live in upstate PA probably not. But where you live I am sure they use a similar rule:) Well if many are dropped then the last pills picked up are n the floor longer so some dust bunnies go along for the ride:)
