Honestly they’re probably doing away with this metric because pharmacies are so understaffed time based metrics became meaningless. I’m sure they’ll find some other stick to bludgeon measure employees with.

We aren’t slow because we derive sick joy from patients being nasty with us. If a pharmacy is “always slow” it is because we are understaffed. Usually by one to two full time technicians. If they actually want to speed things up they need to pay more to attract employees and actually invest in training more technicians.

This is indeed great news, especially getting rid of court fines for minors and drivers license suspensions over unpaid court fees. We are too car dependent a nation to suspend a license for anything less than dangerous offenses. In most of the country not having a car is a one way ticket to unemployment. How is that supposed to help one repay fees?
