The second time was when I asked the pharmacist for a antiviral and the third time for an anti fungal which I had a previous script. Both times I was told to go to the hospital.

Despite being short staffed and it being a holiday, the pharmacy staff went above and beyond to fill my inhaler prescription today, so I didn't have to wait. I didn't realize how bad my breathing had become until I attempted the normally 5 minute walk to the store! One dose and I'm already breathing better. So, thank you. You all deserve a medal and a giant pay raise for the work you do, under increasingly difficult circumstances these days in healthcare.

Shoppers Pharmacy at Uptown Shopping Centre…read more This store is the worst that I've ever been to. I was getting my prescriptions from this store since early 2022. Their attention to their clients is abhorrent to say the least. They don't acknowledge when customers approach the service counter even when they are having a casual conversation with their colleagues. As though their unprofessional behaviour is not enough, I was verbally assaulted on the evening of December 14 by a person who claimed to be a manager. On December 15, I called the store to speak with an owner/manager/Pharmacist. However, my request was indirectly refused by putting me on hold for a longtime. As a result, I hang up the phon and transferred my prescription to another store to see if I could get the service that I need with respect. I also called their head office. However, no one was available to take my call. I would strongly encourage everyone no to access any service from this store.

(Full disclosure - I used to work at Walgreens and so may be a little bit bitter and jaded about drugstores in general.) The cosmetics department has just as nice a selection as many department stores. Benefit and Stila and lots of other brand name cosmetics, plus your normal Cover Girl and such. It's like a little mini Sephora. IN A DRUG STORE. Had wonderful service there returning a product from another location. One of the girls who was working today hooked me up with something more suitable. And it was 20x Optimum Points day today. I'm loving their rewards card. I find Uptown to be a generally obnoxious place to visit, but I think I'll be back to this Shopper's location.

Recently, I went in to buy a few personal items and was happy to see the prices were lower than other larger pharmacies and it also carried the name brands I was looking for. Most importantly is the friendly, professional staff which made me decide to transfer my prescriptions over to this store. It is so refreshing to pick up my prescriptions within 10 minutes rather than being told that I must return within an hour like the one I was previously using. I highly recommend this pharmacy and will not go back to the larger chains where I never get quality service!
