I had a question about two medications on Sunday evening after every pharmacy in the area was closed. I even checked Costco's Maui store and the pharmacy was already closed. I'd spent a lot of time looking for answers online- my question was primarily about the form factor and medication delivery technology and I wanted answers before I saw my provider. This isn't a retail pharmacy so don't try to take your prescription in, but the pharmacists field somewhere near 3000 medical provider questions every day. I've never had any problems asking pharmacists questions, regardless of where my prescription was filled. In my experience they appreciate being asked and enjoy sharing their knowledge. I was connected with a pharmacist right away and she took plenty of time to talk with me about the other delivery methods available in the dose ranges I need, in addition to understanding my concerns about the delivery method I'm currently using. It's one thing to understand and appreciate the technology; it's another to figure out if it's working as designed.
