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?

Board Certified Oncology Pharmacist here.
As a clinical pharmacist, I review patients with my providers, discuss treatment options for various malignancies, build treatment plans, teach patients prior to them receiving treatment, manage chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting, electrolyte abnormalities, and run an anticoagulation clinic for those with benign heme conditions. I also help train physician assistant and pharmacy residents.
My oncologists heavily rely on my drug knowledge and I have a lot of input on treatment trajectory.
