In Nucky's case, since it has occurred on more than one occasion, I would talk to the pharmacy manager about it. There could be a problem with their automated counting mechanism, or something fishy going on, or NOTHING but unintentional human error. In any case, the pharmacy manager should be told so that he/she can look into the matter. In the meantime, they may make good by giving him a few extras pills to make up for it.
But here's what I have to say about it overall - in general, if you were to count your pills each time, you would more than likely find the right amount, but on occasion you may find it short by one or two, or increased by one or two. Why? Because both humans and machines make mistakes. I have worked several different systems and all have their flaws. My solution has been to always double count everything. Unfortunately, in a very busy pharmacy that would probably be NOTHING but impossible to do.
