You're not wrong. I stopped going to CVS in part because only a portion of the pharmacy staff could be respectful. Two of the three actual pharmacists (both of the men -_-) obviously didn't care if I got my estrogen or injection supplies. They also couldn't keep my supplies in stock or get them in a timely manner, then treated me like I was seeking drug paraphernalia when I constantly needed syringes.

I guess I just don't trust that anyone has adequate training and policies for this. My experience is that, if there isn't anyone with authority making us a policy priority, we are at the mercy of the personal beliefs and opinions of whoever is working at the moment. =/
