For most of the pandemic in the US it's been about that easy, but right now specifically it's very challenging to get tests because of the Omicron surge

No one wants to say this, but presumably the government purchasing 1 billion tests for this program reduced the retail supply a lot.
Pharmacies near me have been sold out of the tests for weeks, and I would imagine it is similar situation throughout much of the United States.
