Exactly this! I’ve been going to a local independent pharmacy chain for years and it is a light-years better experience than either of the national chains
I’m pretty limited as to who my insurance covers, so I can’t go to any of the independent pharmacies near me. I’ve been going to the kroger near me and it’s great, they’ve never once had an issue with my insurance and typically order refills / reach out to my dr for a new script before I even realize I’m low.
I’ve had exactly one prescription done at CVS (because I could get my med for like 60% of the cost there) because they managed to be out of stock on my med on month two. Immediately switched back and haven’t had a problem
I have found that going to literally any other pharmacy besides walgreens or cvs is a significant improvement in competence and convenience.

CVS and Walgreens pharmacies are staffed like dollar generals. They can’t handle the load but they won’t hire more pharmacists.
I had a small pharmacy I loved I had to give up on when I got a new job and they weren’t in network. I was not going to CVS or Walgreens.
So I went to the hospital pharmacy that is in network. Can’t imagine that’s any cheaper but whatever insurance.
