The Wilson Rx Pharmacy Satisfaction Survey Report indicates pharmacy customers see convenience, price, and overall pharmacy services as key to customer satisfaction.

"As a result, customers are reporting increased frustration with long wait times and limited pharmacy hours, so pharmacies must find ways to improve the overall shopping experience and drive customer loyalty."
