Picking up a prescription from CVS might require a little more planning come later this month.
The nation’s largest pharmacy operator will adjust its hours to give workers “pre-scheduled, uninterrupted” lunch breaks between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. local time at most of its locations beginning Feb. 28.
“We want to make sure our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are at their best, which means supporting their schedules accordingly,” CVS said in a statement. “This break gives our pharmacy teams a predictable and consistent daily pause while minimizing disruption to our patients.”
GROCERY PRICES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE AGAIN
CVS said some stores are already implementing the new schedule.

Last year, CVS also announced it would close 900 stores over the next three years as it adjusts to online retail competition. Staff shortages have also led to the closures.
