Shoppers Drug Mart Reviews

Pharmacy
The Pharmacy staff at Shoppers Drug Mart on Lacewood Dr. in Halifax NS treat War Veterans with disresepect and treat them like they're stupid.

I transferred my account from another Shoppers Drug Mart to Lacewood Dr. and after examining my first order it was wrong and incomplete. 1 medication was the wrong dose and the staff refused to listen to me when I told them it was the wrong dosage. The pharmacist mocked me and said "we can change it to 3 100's tid, instead of the dose the I said it really was...3 300's tid.

I went home and brought the bottle into the pharmacy from my last fill and they still treated me with disrespect and like I had no idea what I was talking about. I was forced to go back to my Dr and fix it myself.

When I went to the pharmacy to make a formal complaint the Pharmacist pulled me into a cubical and wouldn't let me leave after 3 attempts... the Pharmacist said that my Dr. was confused and that my complaint was unimportant.

Shoppers Drug Mart on Lacewood Dr. in Halifax treats war veterans with disrespect and treat them like they're stupid... I know exactly what medications that I take and what dossage they are...and my Dr. is NOT confused.

The owner never resolved my complaint and so it's clear his staff learns from the example that he leads.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
I am sending this e-mail in the hope of getting the attention of shareholders that manage customer relations for Shoppers Drug Mart. My friends and I live in the northeast section of Edmonton Alberta. We usually deal with the store in that end located on 118 Avenue and 34 street.

We have been "ripped off" so many times from this store. Items that are marked down or advertised at a discounted price are "charged at the normal price" frequently. We try to check our receipts while we are in the store but the counters are usually very busy and the clerk and customers behind us "are not very happy to be kept waiting" so we check the receipt in our vehicle or at home. When the clerk is shown the error, we are then treated "as an irritating customer". How is that for "customer service"?

I also want to mention that I have the optimum card and am sent promotions through my e-mail that the store is running for that week. The clerks fail to mention the promotions and when the customer addressed them, they are questioned as to whether this is correct or not. I don't feel I should have to print and prove that your store is running a particular promotion - the clerk should know it! I also feel it is the clerk's responsibility to tell the customer how many points they have on their optimum card and to indicate how much they are worth and do we want to reimburse any. I have never had any of the clerks do this unless I specifically requested it. What is this card good for anyway????

As your customer service is very bad, I don't expect too much from this e-mail. It would be nice to at least know that you have received it and acknowledge the message herein. As of this date, my friends, my daughter and I will no longer shop at the northeast Edmonton store. We do have a Rexall Drug store just a bit further down the road. A bit inconvenient but better "customer service".

By the number of NEGATIVE complaints within your website it is obvious you do not pay attention to customers with complaints. Well, you should. You have alot of competition in this field. I think it is to your benefit to pay attention to us - we pay your salary and keep you alive!!

I could not find a website to send this to so it ends up here. Is there no headquarters website because CEO's don't care???

nocare/concern customer bad business practise/ liars
I have purchased expensive cosmetics from shoppers. Offered no samples, gifts when there were available. An event was coming up, Alexis, the cosmetics "manager" phoned me because she knew of my purchases, told me about Lancome event where I was to receive a gift, which I had been waiting for. She had my phone number, was supposed to phone me to let me know the date and time of event. She was going to put my name on a Lancome gift, to be kept aside for me. She did not phone me -- I call after the fact, she gets defensive, starts making excuses PLUS MY GIFT was GIVEN TO ANOTHER PERSON--THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! not even apologetic, defensive again, I must wait for the next gift!! How is my gift, with my name, phone number given to someone else??? she insults me, wants to get off the phone very quick.
I told her that because of this unacceptable situation I am returning a purchase which I have not opened or used and she says she WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK!!!
I could have purchased elsewhere where they had a gift but this youngster --put such a spin on this "event" so I lost out
it is a newer shoppers and the staff there dont have proper training if you want to know about cosmetics ie Lancome Clarins etc --tthey just say they are good BEST TO BUY AT THE BAY IF YOU WANT PROFESSIONALS AND ETHICS
I AM DISGUSTED

Rude
On May 5th 2011 at 5.00 pm I visited the shoppers at BCE place - underground path next to longos. Trying out some lip stick, the next thing I know on of the staffers calls another attendant whispers something in his ear, and as I want around the store they have someone following me. I have never felt so humiliated before, did not want to create a scene as I work at the BCE place in a corporate office. maybe because I was brown skinned I have no idea - but I have often experience very rude staff and attendants at all the shoppers, makes me wonder if the corporate does not have some mandatory training for its staff!!

Insulting Service
I have purchased this same type of mascara from them in the past on multiple occasions. The cost is $20. Not an inexpensive product and the reason I purchase it is because it does not run or smear. No raccoon eyes. Well I purchased the same product yesterday and half way through the day, the mascara had smudged. When returning home I decided to stop at the store and explain the situation. When I told the retail employee that the tube inside the box was a different colour, she told me I was wrong. She did not want to hear my situation and was only worried about if I had purchased it there. When I told her that I had never had problems with the product in the past, she told me she never liked that product. Totally disrespectful. To top things off, when I walked away she started laughing with her co-worker. Once home, I called the store to share my experience and concern. Since the manager was not in, they would not even listen to what happened. When I went on-line to file the complaint, a note states, expect a two week wait time.
I purchase mascara every 4 to 6 weeks. So this annual purchase of $173 will no longer be seen in their cash register or the shareholder's revenue reporting. This equates to at least another 40 years of me wearing mascara, if I'm a typical women, equalling $6920. The worse of it, I will not return to this retailer who cannot ensure that their employees treat a paying customer with respect. My total annual purchases with them on all drugs, groceries and misc. is $2500. One lonely lifetime customer lost from a disrectful employee caused from a bad hiring = $100, 000
Stand up for what your hard earned money is worth. Don't let profit driven retailers treat you with disrespect. Let the shareholders know the consequences, simply ban them.

Toxic Entrance
I can't believe that Shoppers Drug Mart has the gall to inundate customers with that horrible smell of perfumes upon entering the store. Perfumes are filled with all kinds of toxic ingredients, not to mention that many people are allergic to them. They stopped selling cigarettes, but walking into most of the new stores now is like walking into a room filled with cigarette smoke. Why isn't someone doing something about this? Seriously, WHO thinks this is okay? I get my prescriptions and go to the post office there, but have to walk through those toxic smells to get to them. Perhaps I could get my prescriptions somewhere else, but it houses our main post office, so that's unavoidable. All I can say is MOVE THAT SECTION or get rid of it altogether!

Ignorant uninformed pharmacists
The pharmacists here are among the least caring and illegitimate phamacists I have worked with. They are completely unwilling to do ANYTHING to help out the people, us innocent patients who have been prescribed these fake manufactured drugs to temporarily ease our symptoms, drugs which have terrible side effects and many that make us addicted to them and which DO NOT CURE us. I have gone through hours and hours of phone conversations with these people(pharmacists) and the doctor's offices trying to get them to give me a higher dosage of my medication so that I am not stuck seeing my pharmacist every week to continuously renew my dozens of prescriptions. I am only in my 20's and I cannot imagine how much worse it will be in the future. I also went to the trouble of doing all of this, to be informed that the pharmacy had never recieved a fax from my doctors office to increase my dosage and that I would have to make everyone repeat the process... just because some idiots aren't doing their jobs at recording incoming faxes and updating our files as necessary.

I have also gone in there several times to pick up prescriptions that are not done when they are supposed to be done. How lazy is that?? I hate pharmacists.

Poor Return Policy
I purchased cosmetics from another store and tried to return them to Northland Mall Shoppers in Calgary, the clerk refused to process the returns with the reason that each store is independently owned. She told me to return the items to the store where I made the purchase. I did not see any signs in the store nor was I told of this policy when I made the purchase. There is nothing on the receipt or on the return policy on Shoppers' website to indicate this is true.

ripped off
was given a coupon for stop smoking product and it had on the front no presription nessasary, yet i was charged despensing fees. all thier stop smoking products were on sale yet i was told i had to pay full price because i had this coupon. i asked the man that was serving me why and i was told that i was getting it for free any how. i feel like someone has made a missake and that i was not treated well . if i had come in with a gift certificate would i have had to pay full price ? if i was paying cash would i have been charged despencing fees for an over the counter product?
