We've got most (all?) of the major pharmacy chains around us and each one staffs the same way: One, maybe two employees on the sales floor responsible for stocking shelves and manning the cash registers.
Behind the pharmacy counter though, there are usually more. However in my experience even with more people they're slower than ever.
Pharmacy counter employees are different from conscience store employees (like employed by different organizations within Safeway or the like), but even they are swamped as these ops are barebones

This was my experience in the mid to late 1990s.
