I think that's what he's getting at.
Exactly. I now understand from "UK Pharmacist" that there are a non-negligible number of places in the UK which have licensed pharmacists who can sell an intermediate class of items between the US "over the counter" and "prescriptions". In the US the only item in that category is (I think) pseudoephedrine and there are AFAIK no places that sell that without also filling prescriptions. So I'll update the tag description to be clearer, without changing the intended meaning. We just won't use amenity=pharmacy dispensing=no in the US.
