Review titled charging incorrect prices
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 March 2024
I picked up an item with a price label £1.99. When I got to the till the staff member told me it was in fact £2.50 and started to peel off the price sticker. I pointed out they were obliged to charge me the price on the sticker, and I didn't want the item if it was to be charged at £2.50 I asked them if I could pay £1.99. I was told no, the till figure was correct and that was the price. The manager/supervisor then approached me and told me in no uncertain terms and with an aggressive attitude that they wanted good customer relations and the price showing on the till (£2.50l) was correct. I wasn't allowed to speak and left the shop with the manager now shouting at me. I spoke in a normal voice throughout. Once the manager appeared he didnt look to clarify my query. He simply harangued and lectured. I was not permitted to respond. I will not return.

Review titled Extremely poor
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 December 2023
this company's people or Staff skills are appalling or rather absent altogether. Im also not the first to comment on this - please check the negative Google reviews also.... There is a code of conduct to follow for running a pharmacy in the United Kingdom. I believe the staff are not compliant with it. The following code of conduct comes from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain..... Pharmacists must ensure that they behave with integrity and probity, adhere to accepted standards of personal and professional conduct and do not engage in any behaviour or activity likely to bring the profession into disrepute or undermine public confidence in the profession. With unwavering certainty I can confirm in my opinion that the above code of conduct has not been adhered to.

Review titled Dissapointing service after takeover
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Disappointed - Posted on 04 March 2023
This used to be an excellent, 5 star pharmacy with friendly, helpful staff. We had enjoyed excellent service with Sterling Pharmacy for several years. I am sorry to say that with the recent takeover most of these qualities have gone out the window. It would be unfair to say all the new staff are rude and have poor client management skills, but in the last three weeks my wife and I had, on separate occasions with different staff, experienced very poor, argumentative and rude service. The staff members involved seemed more interested in arguing then listening and helping. My wife said her experience was akin to being told she is lying. Unacceptable. Really disappointing. We will move.
