I don't blame them. Pharmacy conditions are terrible. They tend to be understaffed and underpaid.

I recently stopped by the one I used to work at. It looked miserable. There were only two technicians on duty (unless a third was at lunch) and they were telling people that their prescriptions would be approximately an hour. For reference, when someone walks up and their medication isn't ready yet, they're usually told fifteen minutes.

You know what happens when a pharmacy is understaffed? People curse at you because their prescriptions aren't ready. You do the work of two people while getting yelled at. The solution is typically to hire people who have recently become parents. You'll put up with a stressful, thankless, low paying job if you have to in order to feed your children.

That's shitty. That's tyrannical. Let's hire people who are willing to walk barefoot on hot coals to feed their children rather to hire enough people to alleviate some of the stress and hardship of the job.

If technicians walk out and people literally die for lack of being able to get their medications, I place the blame solely on the corporations. It's your company. It's your responsibility to see to it that your employees are equipped to handle the load.
