It seems like the technology you would want is one where you can get one Adderal box immediately but not all Adderal boxes that the store has at the premises.
Essentially, a big vending machine that might have 10 minutes to unlock to restock the vending machine but that can only give up one Adderal box per five minutes in its vending machine mode.
Now, surely some of that time is partially recaptured by e.g. people doing their shopping while waiting
That sounds like the technique might encourage customers to buy non-prescription medication in the pharmacy along with the prescription medicine they want to buy.
I think there might be many local improvements, but I’m pretty uncertain about important factors like elasticity of “demand” (for robbery) with respect to how much of a medication is available on demand. i.e. how many fewer robberies do you get if you can get at most a single prescriptions’ worth of some kind of controlled substance (and not necessarily any specific one), compared to “none” (the current situation) or “whatever the pharmacy has in stock” (not actually sure if this was the previous situation—maybe they had time delay safes for storing medication that wasn’t filling a prescription, and just didn’t store the filled prescriptions in the safes as well)?
