No! The pharmacist who works at your local pharmacy, in your local CVS, or in your grocery store's pharmacy most definitely DOESN'T have a doctoral degree
No. Pharmacists have required a Doctor of Pharmacy to even sit for the licensing exam.

All graduating pharmacists must now obtain the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree before they are eligible to sit for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) to enter into pharmacy practice.

My local pharmacist only has a bachelor's. I have a friend who is a pharmacist in a hospital and has a master's. So, no!
They may have been grandfathered in, but the PharmD requirement dates back to 1997, so the majority will have a PharmD.

OK, got it! I wonder if the issue then is that a lot of these people at my local pharmacies are actually pharmacy techs and not pharmacists. From interactions with them, the vast majority are dumber than doorknobs and they are making increasingly worrisome errors. The doctoral degree can't be THAT worthless!
