What happens if they give you the wrong prescription? Youd have to mail it back again and wait for the new medicine to arrive. With a pharmacy if you get the wrong pills you just drive to the pharmacy and correct it and it'll only take a couple of hours, not so much with Amazon. Meanwhile you die of a heart attack waiting for the correct heart medicine to get to you.

They can add a pharmacy to the many Whole Foods store around the country. They've also started having brick and mortar store, so I'd imagine they'd use that too.

They also have 1 hr delivery in some areas. It's available in my area, it's pretty awesome.
