From what I understand (wife is a nurse) is that pharmacies can trade "sensitive" information between them (pharmacist to pharmacist)to determine whether or not someone may be "double dipping" their prescription by going to another pharmacy, but the information is not given to the public, or even a counter technician. The pharmacist fills the prescription, the tech only makes the "sale". The "double dipping" method is common for the drug seekers acquiring class 2 narcotics such as OxyContin, Percocet, etc. for personal use, or street sale. This information sharing is to discourage this from happening.
I used to use Longs until CVS took over, and had the same poor service result. Switched over to Safeway, as convenient in my travels about, no problems as of yet.
