poor service and card policy
I shopped with my brother at the Shoppersdrugmart at Centre Street NW of Calgary this early morning (around 9:30am) and the shopkeeper stopped me from using my Shoppersdrugmart Optimum card to buy anything for my brother. Without any clarification, she assumed that it's my brother making the purchase and insisted that my brother use his own card. I told her...
Read full complaint and 5 commentsrude supervisor - sunny
Shoppers drug mart has a wonderful return policy, that allows return of items in a different branch. However, I met the rudest supervisor today at ubc shoppers by the name of sunny. I went to the ubc shoppers branch to return a faulty standing fan I bought at another branch. Upon seeing the fan, sunny told me that there is no space at her store to place the fan and demanded rudely, that I return the $10 voucher I got for spending more than $50 at shoppers today. She later remarked that her store no longer carry such fans and that I should go back to the store which I bought the fan for a refund in future. To save myself from further embarassment, I quickly handed her the $10 voucher I got, and left the store immediately after I got the refund facilitated. A terrible and most embarrassing encounter with a supervisor!

rude, racist, poor service
I am a brown skin woman and I was there on a weekday in the afternoon for the first time at that store to purchase some flyer items.
A white cashier named Linda, looked at me disgustingly and said arrogantly you black people can only afford sale price items. There is a limit of 4 per customer. You were here the other day and got the same items.
She asked me to leave because the owner said only 4 items per customer. She said our owner is black and her boss was black too. What are you going to complain about your black skin?
What an experience for shopping there for the first time.

Damn! I live here in the states, but I really had my heart set on relocating to canada. But I must say I'm really surprised that
even happened to you two considering the fact that I've always been told that canadians were a helluva lot nicer, and much more
friendlier than us over here in the states. Just what I heard that's all!
I TOTALLY AGREE!
I just called the pharmacy and they are RUDE. After telling me they didnt have my medication, they just hung up the phone without saying bye...how hard is to say BYE before hanging up the phone to someone!?!?! NO MANNERS at all here. I will never shop there !

DO NOT buy your prescription at McCowan and Lawrence location.
According to the owner FLORA.. they filled my prescription based on assumption from my last refil. Even IF I told them that I only need 1, the went ahead..ASSUMED if I may say so...and filled my presciption to the max (which is NOT cheap).
Ofcourse every one at this location do not remember speaking to me about my order or the amount I ordered. Which I was already expecting since it's worth almost $2000.00.
So please people go to the one at McCowan and Ellesmere or Brimley and Eglinton instead. It's just 1 major intersection and they are much more nicer and knowledgable. They do NOT ### ume either like Flora the NO GOOD owner from McCowan and Lawrence - Store # 501

I haven't been to Shopper's for a prescription in many years. They charge high fees and the wait times are long. Most of their pharmacists are good but there are some that really don't have much to offer. I found a small independent pharmacy that I am completely loyal to. they do not charge me any out of pocket fees for dispensing and it is a very well run place. I never have to wait more than two minutes to have my prescriptions filled. The pharmacists on duty are always helpful and knowledgeable. One even went so far as to help me find a specialist - the best I have ever been too. I think the best strategy is to find a good pharmacy that specializes in medicine (not perfume) and stick with them.
destroyed photo's
I decided to go to Shoppers for the convience of their Photo Lab being only a short walk from my house. I told the lady behind the counter that my film was true black and white three times and she confirmed she heard me. She said they would be done on Monday. I went back every day until Thursday until I phoned. She the lady who I understand her name to be Heather said to me: I put them through the machine and they wont go through our machine so I have to send them out now however they havent unrolled or anything.. I said no I will just take them else where. She said she would leave them on the counter for me. I got there. I got my envelope off the counter. Got my car. She had lied. The we not and I repeat WERE NOT in the canister they were bunched up in a ball over exposed in an evelope. I called the manger the next day and she had the photo Lab Manager Phone me back whose name is Rob. He accused me of not putting my camera properly and that it was my own fault and he had written on the envelope blank role. He did not do this and I had brought to blacks (The one and only true photo store) and she looked at them and was able to tell me they were run their (Shoppers Drug Mart's) Color Photo machine and that is how they got destroyed. Spent an hour on hold with customer service only to be Disconnected! The battle continues!

Nine years ago, I used Sears to redo my roof. They dropped a large pack of shingles on a small patio on the second floor and cracked the granite. Sears replaced the granite but washed the new granite with acid which leaked into our copper gutters. Our gutters are ruined ONLY around the patio and a professional roofer assessed that the damage has come from the acid which Sears used to wash the installed granite. It takes some time for the acid to eat through the copper. Replacement of the gutters will cost $15, 000. Sears has not even sent anyone to look at the damage and each of my calls to their call centre gets passed to the roofing department who has never called me back. Beware of Sears' guarantee on any of their work. Even though they are a North American wide company, they do NOT act responsibly and are NOT trustworthy.
Wait what does a Sears complaint have to do with pharmaprix?
pharmacy delivery
My friend, Victor Robinson, was to have his prescription for pain medication (Oxycontin) delivered to his door. He has ankylosing spondylitis, and can't get out much. The delivery person delivered it to the wrong address, and no one is accepting responsibilty for this mistake. They didn't give him his meds, they actually gave them to someone else! We are...

Thursday, Aug 28 at least 20 attempts to contact store from 11 AM to 2.30 PM letting phone ring 20 or more times with no answer. I hope nothing serious is wrong and that communication will be restored shortly. I need to renew prescriptions.
Have been getting prescriptions at the Drug Store at Greenbank Mall 250 Greenbank Road for over 25 years. This drugstore has recently been taken over by Shoppers Drugmart. I submitted 16 prescriptions from the Doctor to cover me until December on 6 sheets on the 16th of June . Copies of the prescriptions were made. Over the next month and a half I received some drugs off the list. In November when I needed a refill I was told I had no refills. Copies were taken to the store to show that I had submitted the prescriptions. The clerk rudely told me I never submitted the prescriptions implying that I was lying when I insisted. If she had been polite and admitted there was an oversite I would have understood and thought nothing of it. Instead I have taken my business elsewhere.
empty can
I bought a case of life brand diet cola. When i opened it i found an empty can in the case. The top is on it but i found a small hole in the side of the can. Of course, no pop in it. Didn't need to tell you that, i guess. Thank you Pam!

Why did you just stand there and take the abuse? I would have demanded a refund on the items you purchased that day that gave you the $10 gift card. As for the fan, well, I guess I'd bite the bullet on that and return it to the same location where it was purchased.
