Honest question, why aren’t pills dispensed by machines? I get that a pharmacist should review the prescription. And let’s say you even want employee-customer interaction; which is great. But dispensing X pills from one bottle to another bottle is a solved problem right?

I think that’s the idea behind those centralized pharmacies like Amazon health. Easier than putting a pill dispensing assembly line in every CVS.

You can try, but then a different group of people might come around and say it's editorializing.

It seems like the article's unspoken consensus is if they hired people (ideally local) and paid them a living wage it would go back to working well enough like it did before they attempted the bot. I wonder why no one brought that up as a solution?

Because corporates operate on a religion with forever changing principles with trends and speaking against the vogue trend is taboo.

Eh, I was kind of expecting that to be the rest of the title when I clicked on it.
