    They want to make sure it's you, and that the prescription is legit.  Plus they're not in a hurry.  Maybe cause they deal with old people so much.

    They also have to get the authorization from your health insurance company.

    Did you ask them or enquire if you needed it sooner?

    They may not have had what you needed in stock and had to have it transferred in from another pharmacy.

    They may have had to consult with your doctor over a refill.

    They may be short staffed or backlogged on orders.
