Why is going to Chemist Warehouse such a stressful experience? Narrow isles with too many people, long waits for prescriptions and then waiting in a line to collect them. Then another line to pay. Or maybe my local is just a bad one. This place is a time suck.
The need to fluro ticket everything shits me.
Most of the ones I've been to are like that. The less terrible ones are the ones with more space like the High St Northcote shop.
And just the amount of different ads and videos playing everywhere, it's awful.
Think they’re all like that… I hate going there for that reason
I've got 3 of them near me, 1 of them are really packed, another one did some renos and have a bit more space now and the other one in a warehouse like place has plenty of space, I like to go to that one if I can because it's less squished.
I really hate all their fluro tags. Not really special if everything has a tag like that.
They stuffed up the OHs scripts yesterday. Same name, very different address. Didn't notice till we got home, but it does make you query the efficacy and safety of their systems.
It is a stuff up, but same name is pretty uncommon, and there's some level of due diligence on your part to check the medication at the store.
The medication is right. The address on the repeat scripts is wrong, but it's right on the initial prescription.
Oh, that is indeed odd.
