Let's talk about reality for a moment. The pharmacy technician is the most intergral part of the pharmacy community. They are the spirit and the heart of the pharmacy. The pharmacy technician is the center of the community pharmacy, and yet, they are lucky to be paid just slightly over minimum wage.  The average wage of a pharmacy technician is $12.68 per hour. The time has come for community pharmacy to reevaluate their pay scale for pharmacy technicians. The time is now to discuss wage increses for technicians. Enough with the "freezes" and "ceilings."
