Welcome to today's edition of Waypoint Unscripted. This is Ben Coakley with Waypoint RX. I am so glad you're here. Today's topic is going to be the high cost of convenience. This was inspired by the story of my grandfather, and his switch to mail order many many years ago, which ultimately cost him his life, and cost my family many years without him being present with us.

I recently got home from a two week trip/vacation and realized I forgot to take out the trash before I left. When I opened the lid to the trashcan to take the garbage outside, hundreds of fruit flies were unleashed like a biblical plague into my house.
Most of you probably know by now that we have a new associate with us. He is working closely with me as he learns the ropes of the pharmacy and retirement planning world. That means he is working in my office. We have been trying to work while combatting this army of fruit flies. We have deployed many different tactics: swatting, smashing, vinegar and dishsoap (Tyler told me this would work but I am still skeptical), opening the door and waving them out, and many others. NOTE: if you have any thoughts or ideas please let me know.
You are probably wondering why I am writing about this. There are some lessons that pharmacy owners can take from this unfortunate series of events.
