I hope you don't believe that.  People of integrity do exist.  I tend to 
think that people who view the world as you do assume others have the same 
value systems that they themselves have.  That's not a fair assumption.

In this case, the Clarithromycin was given to me by the doctor (sample 
packets) and no sale was made at the pharmacy.  My wife is extremely allergic 
to penicillin.  This pharmacist has on more than one occasion halted the 
transaction in midstream due to the allergic possibilities.  Your rebuttal 
would undoubtedly be that his motive was to sell her a more expensive drug.

Here in Lombard business relationships are often based on trust.  I don't 
know what Santa Clara is like, but it sounds different from Lombard.
