Boots — Local services in London

This pharmacy is terrible - there's always an issue with my prescriptions! Once in 2021, I had to wait 2.5 hours for a prescription, and after that, I switched to the pharmacy at the end of the high street. Unfortunately, my usual pharmacy closed early one day, so I had no choice but to send my prescription to Boots. I called to confirm it was there and was initially told my doctor hadn’t sent it, even though they assured me it had been. After calling again, the prescription mysteriously "appeared."

When I went to collect it, the pharmacy staff were rude. One lady tried to publicly humiliate me in the store, repeatedly shouting loud for the whole store to hear that my doctor hadn’t sent the prescription correctly and that she had to retrieve it from another system. How is that my fault? If my doctor advised me it was sent, that’s all I know - I can’t control what system they use or how it gets to Boots.

Maybe show some customer support? Not everyone knows where or how much each of your individual nappies cost, especially if there's a member of staff who could helpfully suggest where to look. Poor customer service, expensive prices for nappies. Would not recommend. Sorry for the rude review, just my...

Went in to buy some behind the counter flu medication and then got interrogated by this young male pharmacist telling me what I should and shouldn’t buy. I told him from the beginning my partner who I was buying this for had a terrible headache in which he at first disregarded and then later on was proving to me what this medication was used for in which one of the main things stated good for headaches. It was a complete waste of time and unnecessary. The woman behind the counter was so lovely and was already running through the...
