And not all states are the same... This was recent legislation acted in several stages, 2004, 2005, and 2006 increasing reporting and eventually tamper proof pads eliminating triplicates. I've never been to a big box store though with a tamper proof pad for C-IV so I don't even know what issues arrive. I much prefer "mom and pop" places where they know my name, maybe things cost slightly more or not, usually copays are set, but maybe there are costs not 100% covered, etc.
I know that some locations of a store that starts with C and ends with S can be wonderful and quick to go to for a cheap self-pay nonscheduled generic and others can be aggressively corporate and you're standing in long lines and they * up things. This is partially due to their buyup of old stores that start with S and end with N in the west, or in California.
