    One could write a book on this post. I won’t write a book but perhaps the outline for a book when time allows, after Memorial Day weekend.

    Meanwhile, its time for crabbin’, fishin’, kayakin’, beer drinkin and grand-kids galore down by the floating dock on the river.

    Even Fairfax County and its Schools have started to realize they need to consolidate support services when appropriate. I’d like to see a chart showing the increase in support services personnel over the last 20 years for colleges and universities (both private and public) and state and local government. I have the impression that the feds (at least in some agencies) have consolidated and reduced support headcount some just like private industry.

    You want to see a labor-intensive type work? The next time you pick up a prescription – count the people working.. any surprise that drugs cost out the wazoo these days! Ah.. that good ole free market!

    The McLean Giant, which is the highest volume store in the chain, normally seems to have 3 or 4 people working in the Pharmacy. That doesn’t seem excessive to me.

      It seems like at least one of them spends all his/her time checking out every request to buy a Sudafed pill.

      TMT – Giant yes.. 2-4 … but Walmart and CVS…10-15…

      re; sudafed… never use the stuff but my wife does.. and sometimes exceeds her quota and I have to do the deed.. feeling like I’m breaking the law or something.
