- 12:0585%
- 12:05of
- 12:06their
- 12:06sales
- 12:06are
- 12:06already
- 12:06clean
- 12:07for
- 12:07cereal.
- 12:07So

- 12:08a
- 12:09bit
- 12:09that
- 12:09there's
- 12:09an
- 12:09authenticity
- 12:11lag
- 12:11here
- 12:12that
- 12:12could
- 12:12be

- 12:22something
- 12:22that
- 12:23I
- 12:23know
- 12:23is.
- 12:23But
- 12:24beyond
- 12:24their,
- 12:24I
- 12:25think
- 12:25it's
- 12:25a
- 12:2527
- 12:26play
- 12:26that
- 12:26they're
- 12:26going
- 12:27to
- 12:27actually
- 12:27be
- 12:27clean
- 12:28if
- 12:28someone
- 12:28is
- 12:28coming
- 12:29in.
- 12:29Joanna
- 12:29made
- 12:29the
- 12:30point
- 12:30that
- 12:30cereal
- 12:30is
- 12:31very
- 12:31specifically,
- 12:32you
- 12:32know,
- 12:32people
- 12:32are
- 12:33brand
- 12:33loyal.
- 12:33If
- 12:33someone
- 12:34can't
- 12:34get
- 12:34their
- 12:34Fruit
- 12:35Loops,
- 12:35is
- 12:35that
- 12:35going
- 12:36to
- 12:36be
- 12:36something
- 12:36that
- 12:36they,
- 12:37you
- 12:37know,
- 12:37are
- 12:37going
- 12:38to
- 12:38choose
- 12:38Walmart
- 12:38instead
- 12:39for
- 12:39their
- 12:39groceries
- 12:40rather
- 12:40than
- 12:40doing
- 12:41Target?
- 12:41But
- 12:41I
- 12:42think
- 12:42there
- 12:42is
- 12:42less
- 12:43of
- 12:43a
- 12:43risk
- 12:43here
- 12:43that
- 12:44they
- 12:44already
- 12:44are
- 12:44going
- 12:44to
- 12:45be
- 12:45able
- 12:45to
- 12:45have
- 12:45a
- 12:45significant
- 12:46portion
- 12:46of
- 12:46what's
- 12:46in
- 12:47their
- 12:47aisle.
- 12:47Right
- 12:47now,
- 12:48I
- 12:48don't
- 12:48know
- 12:48if
- 12:49it's
- 12:49actually
- 12:49going
- 12:49to
- 12:49be
- 12:49driving
- 12:50much
- 12:50traffic
- 12:50because
- 12:51once
- 12:51people
- 12:52come
- 12:52in
- 12:52for
- 12:52their
- 12:52first
- 12:53time,
- 12:53they
- 12:53see
- 12:53what
- 12:53most
- 12:54of
- 12:54what
- 12:54they
- 12:54can
- 12:54get
- 12:55already
- 12:55is
- 12:55already
- 12:55there.
- 12:56They're
- 12:56not
- 12:57seeing
- 12:57much
- 12:57of
- 12:57a
- 12:57play.
- 12:57But
- 12:58I
- 12:58think
- 12:58that
- 12:58authenticity
- 12:59risk
- 12:59is
- 12:59there.
- 13:00It
- 13:00seems
- 13:00a
- 13:01bit
- 13:01performative
- 13:01in
- 13:01some
- 13:02ways,
- 13:02you
- 13:02know,
- 13:02if

- 16:10Everyone
- 16:11is

- 16:41But

- 28:41turns
- 28:41out.
- 28:42But
- 28:42I
- 28:42do

- 28:43you
- 28:43know,
- 28:43store
- 28:43design
- 28:44is
- 28:45a
- 28:45tool

- 28:46It's
- 28:46not
- 28:46necessarily
- 28:46their
- 28:47strategy
- 28:47to
- 28:47win
- 28:48because
- 28:48it's
- 28:48still.
- 28:48You
- 28:48still
- 28:49need
- 28:49someone
- 28:49to
- 28:49wake
- 28:49up
- 28:50and
- 28:50choose
- 28:50to
- 28:51go
- 28:51to
- 28:51Schlotsky's
- 28:51and
- 28:52where
- 28:52they're

- 28:53image
- 28:53problem.
- 28:54Your

- 28:54design
- 28:54is
- 28:54not
- 28:55going
- 28:55to
- 28:55change
- 28:55that.
- 28:56So
- 28:56I
- 28:56think
- 28:56there's
- 28:56a
- 28:56little
- 28:57bit
- 28:57of
- 28:57the
- 28:58jury
- 28:58is
- 28:58out
- 28:58from
- 28:58there.
- 28:59And
- 28:59how
- 28:59do
- 28:59they
- 28:59then
- 29:00make
- 29:00sure
- 29:01that
- 29:01everyone
- 29:01is
- 29:01making
- 29:02that
- 29:02choice?
- 29:02Because
- 29:03especially,
- 29:03you
- 29:03know,
- 29:03Joanna's
- 29:04talking
- 29:04about
- 29:04how
- 29:0580
- 29:05something
- 29:06percent
- 29:07are
- 29:07going
- 29:07to
- 29:07be
- 29:08either,
- 29:08you
- 29:09know,
- 29:09delivery
- 29:09orders
- 29:10typically
- 29:10right
- 29:11now,
- 29:11or
- 29:11some
- 29:12kind
- 29:12of,
- 29:12you
- 29:12know,
- 29:12doordash
- 29:13of
- 29:13that
- 29:13nature.
- 29:14And
- 29:14so
- 29:15people
- 29:15are
- 29:15not
- 29:16going.
- 29:16They're
- 29:17scrolling
- 29:17through
- 29:17their
- 29:18app.
- 29:18They
- 29:18have
- 29:18to
- 29:19choose
- 29:19you.
- 29:19And
- 29:19if
- 29:20you
- 29:20don't
- 29:20have
- 29:20that
- 29:20brand
- 29:21name
- 29:21recognition,
- 29:22it
- 29:22doesn't
- 29:22matter
- 29:23that
- 29:23you've
- 29:23saved
- 29:23on
- 29:23your
- 29:24operating
- 29:24costs
- 29:24and
- 29:24you've
- 29:25been
- 29:25able
- 29:25to
- 29:25make
- 29:25it
- 29:26a
- 29:26smaller
- 29:26footprint.
- 29:27So
- 29:27the
- 29:27math
- 29:27makes
- 29:27a
- 29:28little
- 29:28bit
- 29:28more
- 29:28sense
- 29:28for
- 29:29franchisees
- 29:29if
- 29:30you're

- 29:30driving
- 29:30the
- 29:31customers
- 29:31to
- 29:31you.
- 29:32So
- 29:32I
- 29:32think
- 29:32there
- 29:32is
- 29:33a
- 29:33another
- 29:33level
- 29:34that
- 29:34they
- 29:34need
- 29:34to
- 29:34make
- 29:34sure
- 29:34that
- 29:35they
- 29:35nail
- 29:35as
- 29:35well
- 29:36to
- 29:36get
- 29:36this.

- 31:30change.
- 31:31But
- 31:31also,
- 31:32you
- 31:32know,
- 31:32this
- 31:33is
- 31:33something
- 31:33where
- 31:34there's
- 31:34been
- 31:34a
- 31:35lot
- 31:35of
- 31:35talk
- 31:35of

- 31:37you
- 31:37can't
- 31:37go
- 31:37forward
- 31:37either
- 31:38way.
- 31:38And
- 31:38so
- 31:39let's,
- 31:39let's
- 31:39try
- 31:39a
- 31:40few
- 31:40options
- 31:40here.
- 31:40So
- 31:41as
- 31:41I
- 31:41mentioned
- 31:42earlier,
- 31:42so
- 31:43I've
- 31:43spent
- 31:43a
- 31:43lot
- 31:43of
- 31:43time
- 31:44actually
- 31:44in
- 31:44pharmacies
- 31:45observing
- 31:46pharmacists
- 31:47and
- 31:48I
- 31:48have
- 31:48seen
- 31:48firsthand
- 31:49the
- 31:50burnout
- 31:50and
- 31:51trying
- 31:52to
- 31:52figure
- 31:52out
- 31:52a
- 31:52number
- 31:52of
- 31:53solutions
- 31:53with
- 31:55how
- 31:55we
- 31:55can
- 31:55address
- 31:56this.
- 31:56And
- 31:56so
- 31:56definitely
- 31:57that
- 31:5790%
- 31:58of
- 31:58pharmacists
- 31:59are
- 31:59at
- 31:59risk
- 31:59really
- 32:00resonates
- 32:00with
- 32:00me.
- 32:01And
- 32:02I
- 32:02think
- 32:02there's
- 32:02also
- 32:03a
- 32:04larger
- 32:04structural
- 32:05issue
- 32:05here
- 32:05because
- 32:07we
- 32:07don't
- 32:07even
- 32:07have
- 32:07enough
- 32:07pharmacists
- 32:08that
- 32:08are
- 32:08going
- 32:09through
- 32:09pharmacy
- 32:09school
- 32:09to
- 32:10fill
- 32:10the
- 32:10number
- 32:10of
- 32:10roles
- 32:11that
- 32:11are
- 32:11available.
- 32:12So
- 32:12there's
- 32:13even
- 32:13a
- 32:13competition,
- 32:14there's
- 32:14signing
- 32:15bonuses
- 32:15out
- 32:15there
- 32:15for
- 32:16people
- 32:16to
- 32:16switch
- 32:17change.
- 32:18So
- 32:18there's
- 32:18a
- 32:19lot
- 32:19of
- 32:19pressures
- 32:19in
- 32:19the
- 32:20industry
- 32:20right
- 32:20now
- 32:20and
- 32:20what
- 32:21we've
- 32:21been
- 32:21doing
- 32:21in
- 32:21the
- 32:21past
- 32:22really
- 32:22isn't
- 32:22working.
- 32:23But
- 32:23also
- 32:23the
- 32:24nature
- 32:24of
- 32:24how
- 32:24customers
- 32:25are
- 32:25interacting
- 32:26with
- 32:26their
- 32:26pharmacies
- 32:27has
- 32:27changed
- 32:28as
- 32:28well.
- 32:28So
- 32:29the
- 32:29two
- 32:29combined
- 32:30there
- 32:30is
- 32:30really
- 32:31saying,
- 32:31you
- 32:31have
- 32:31a
- 32:31broken
- 32:32pipeline,
- 32:32but
- 32:32we
- 32:32have
- 32:32a
- 32:32changing
- 32:33customer.
- 32:33How
- 32:34do
- 32:34we
- 32:34start,
- 32:35you
- 32:35know,
- 32:35address

- 32:36Because
- 32:37the
- 32:37people
- 32:37who
- 32:38are
- 32:38staying
- 32:38are
- 32:38really
- 32:38running
- 32:39on
- 32:39fumes
- 32:39in
- 32:39the
- 32:39pharmacy.
- 32:40And
- 32:40that's
- 32:40not,
- 32:40not
- 32:41what
- 32:41we
- 32:41want
- 32:41to
- 32:41be
- 32:41seeing.
- 32:42So
- 32:43I
- 32:43think
- 32:43that,
- 32:43you
- 32:44know,
- 32:44Walgreens
- 32:44is
- 32:44saying,

- 32:46to
- 32:46do
- 32:46something
- 32:46to
- 32:47address
- 32:47it.
- 32:48It's
- 32:48more
- 32:48of
- 32:49a
- 32:49business
- 32:49model
- 32:50problem
- 32:50than
- 32:50just
- 32:50a
- 32:51scheduling

- 32:51or
- 32:52having
- 32:52the
- 32:52right
- 32:52people
- 32:53at
- 32:53the
- 32:53right
- 32:53time.
- 32:54It's
- 32:54much
- 32:54larger
- 32:55than
- 32:55that.
- 32:55And
- 32:56also
- 32:56the
- 32:56economics
- 32:57of,
- 32:57you
- 32:57know,
- 32:57traditional
- 32:58pharmacy
- 32:58are
- 32:58obviously
- 32:59changing.
- 32:59We
- 32:59have
- 33:00more
- 33:00central
- 33:00fill,
- 33:01we
- 33:01have
- 33:01other
- 33:01players
- 33:02coming
- 33:02in.
- 33:02And
- 33:03so
- 33:03they
- 33:03really
- 33:03have
- 33:04to
- 33:04address
- 33:04both

- 33:05to,
- 33:05you
- 33:06know,
- 33:06keep
- 33:06up,
- 33:06I
- 33:06think.
- 33:07And
- 33:07so
- 33:07to
- 33:07keep
- 33:08their
- 33:08pharmacists
- 33:09happy,
- 33:09to

- 33:11to
- 33:12keep
- 33:12their
- 33:12workforce
- 33:13going.
- 33:14I
- 33:14think
- 33:14this
- 33:14hybrid
- 33:15model
- 33:15does
- 33:15make
- 33:16sense.
- 33:17It
- 33:17gives
- 33:17them
- 33:18a
- 33:18bit
- 33:18of
- 33:18relief.
- 33:18So
- 33:19you
- 33:19have
- 33:19your,
- 33:20your
- 33:20in
- 33:20store
- 33:20time

- 33:22to
- 33:22patients,
- 33:23working
- 33:23that
- 33:23and
- 33:23then
- 33:24the
- 33:24more
- 33:24predictable,
- 33:26you
- 33:26know,
- 33:26central
- 33:27fill
- 33:27or
- 33:27anything
- 33:28like
- 33:28that.
- 33:29And
- 33:29they're
- 33:29actually
- 33:29able
- 33:29at
- 33:30the
- 33:30same
- 33:30time
- 33:30to
- 33:30be
- 33:30moving
- 33:31a
- 33:31lot
- 33:31more
- 33:31of
- 33:31their

- 33:32to
- 33:32a
- 33:32central
- 33:32fill
- 33:33location
- 33:33either
- 33:33to

- 33:38rebuilding
- 33:39this
- 33:39operating

- 35:22them.
- 35:22But
- 35:23then

- 35:23also
- 35:23obviously
- 35:24need
- 35:24a
- 35:24pharmacist
- 35:25role
- 35:25there,
- 35:25despite

- 35:27It
- 35:27really
- 35:28is
- 35:28a
- 35:28very
- 35:28different
- 35:29setting
- 35:29for
- 35:29them
- 35:30than
- 35:30the
- 35:30constant.
- 35:32You
- 35:32know,
- 35:32I
- 35:32don't
- 35:32think
- 35:33everyone's
- 35:33always
- 35:33the
- 35:33most
- 35:34friendly.
- 35:34Sometimes
- 35:34what
- 35:34I've
- 35:35seen
- 35:35as
- 35:35their
- 35:35patients

- 35:38you
- 35:38know,
- 35:38everyone
- 35:39there
- 35:39is
- 35:39stretched
- 35:40thin.
- 35:40And
- 35:41so
- 35:41being
- 35:41able
- 35:41to
- 35:41balance
- 35:42that,
- 35:42you
- 35:42know,
- 35:42gives
- 35:43them
- 35:43the
- 35:43time
- 35:43where

- 35:44lot
- 35:44of
- 35:44them
- 35:44are
- 35:44very
- 35:44excited
- 35:45also
- 35:45about
- 35:45being
- 35:45patient
- 35:46focused
- 35:47and
- 35:47being
- 35:47patient
- 35:48forward.
- 35:48So
- 35:49they
- 35:49want
- 35:49some
- 35:49of
- 35:49that
- 35:49time,
- 35:50but

- 35:50little
- 35:51bit
- 35:51of
- 35:51breathing
- 35:51time
- 35:52on
- 35:52the

- 35:56also
- 35:56their

- 35:57productive.
- 35:57So
- 35:57being
