what do pharmacist do anyway? Every time I go to the pharmacy, I see a lineup of people behind the counter doing something I’m sure they’re counting up pills, but did they do anything else?

The pharmacist is basically your last line of defense when considering medications. They know more about drug interactions than most doctors. They also often have to negotiate with insurance companies on behalf of the patient. They have to know pretty much every law regarding medications, insurance, and various other things regarding patient health. It can be expansive.
Then there are the pharmacy techs. The unsung heroes that assist the pharmacist in the day to day grind. They’re the ones that count out pills, fill prescriptions, contact insurance, TRY to contact doctors, verify everything is correct, deal with the (often very bitchy) patients.
