To expect to be able to leave meds at a chemist for several weeks?

If press rate valid for several months, if the doctor sends direct to pharmacy why can you not leave them for a while? With the way life is and the fact the chemist allows 1 person a time and the queue is always long, I did not pick up my prescribed meds for six or seven weeks. I received a couple of tests- the latest last week saying they were ready. When I wenot to get them they said they’ve put them back on the shelf. So I’m without meds for a few days while I wait for doc to reissue prescription and send to chemist. But now I’ve had time to think - if prescriptions are valid for months why couldn’t they just refill the prescription and give it to me? Why do I need to get a new one - aibu expecting you be able to pick up after weeks 🤔

My local one only keep them shelves for one week. I assume it’s to do with space

I can only re-order when I've got a maximum of 2 weeks medicine left; if I left them in the pharmacy for 6 or 7 weeks I'd have run out long before.
