Rexall Health, the re-named pharmacy chain previously known as Pharma Plus, has cut hours at South Bayview locations and perhaps elsewhere. The tightening of the payroll has rather soured the mood in the stores at 320 Moore Ave. and Sunnybrook Plaza where the wait to see a pharmacist or assistant has run to nearly ten minutes in some instances. Midweek the lineup to see the single pharmacy employee at 320 Moore numbered seven. Earlier this fall the chain got a new president, Jurgen Schreiber, who as stories in both the Globe and Mail and Financial Post suggested, is seen as an agent to the possible sale of Rexall Health. Long-time customers at 320 Moore were a bit grumpy about the delays. Cutbacks are often a sign of an attempt to prepare a company for sale. Some of the possible purchasers were speculated about in this previous post from May: Rexall boss Schreiber seen as agent of possible takeover
