This law has no meaning unless pharmacists are 'required' to leave their stores for that 30 minutes.  As a pharmacy technician, I often don't get to take the 30 minutes break althought there is a law that mandates it and my company does not provide any compensation for that 30 minutes of my work.  Many companies are cutting technician hours and do not provide enough tech helps for pharmacists.  Knowing how busy my pharmacist is, often times I cannot just leave the pharmacy to get my lunch break alone.  It is shocking how many pharmacists are not eating anything and standing on feet for whole 12 hour shift, but this is reality.  This should be changed.
