As A Pharmacy Customer, You Have The Right To...
-have your prescription filled at any pharmacy you choose.

-have your pharmacist check for drug interactions.
-have your pharmacist review your allergy history.
-have your pharmacist ensure accuracy of your prescriptions.
-have your pharmacist double check the doctor's orders for errors.

These are your rights as a patient. Read them. Understand them. Most importantly, Exercise them. Remember, as a patient, your most basic rights include professionalism and accuracy.

-be lazy about your healthcare (you don't care? I don't care).
-demand anything.
-command me to bill multiple discount cards and manufacturer coupons.
  (again, it is a courtesy-so ask politely and who knows?)
-expect me to do everything for you (call your doctor for refills, call to remind you to fill something, call to remind you to pick it up, call to remind you to take it--Again, all Courtesy).
-complain about some perceived slight to a store manager and expect a reward.

I'm taking my profession back. If you don't like this list, please read your list of actual rights again. Number one is "you have the right to have your prescription filled at any pharmacy you choose".
