You're conflating pharmacy technicians with pharmacists. There are soft skills involved; it's remarkably hard to automate the person who has to know the weird interactions with drugs that different physicians prescribe--and how they interact with the over-the-counter, off-label, or just plain illegal stuff that their customers are taking.
Pharmacists keep people alive when their physicians try (with the best of intentions, mind) to kill them.
That doesn't sound right to me. Humans are better than machines at the memorization and computation of a database that lists every drug in existence and the consequences of all possible combinations thereof?
Pharmacists may be able to give a soft personal touch when interacting with patients, but the same could be said about travel agents, retail clerks, or taxi drivers. Or lawyers, for that matter. Still, I can't see why six-figure salary pharmacists are essential to vend pills.
