So aparently being open 24/7 365 days a year only applies to certain parts of this Shoppers Drug Mart! I needed some shampoo and conditioner while visiting my parents and I was relying on Shoppers being open on Victoria day. The store was open but due to some stupid bi-law in Barrie, Shoppers could only have 7500 sq ft of retail space open. Instead of blocking off the electronics section (for example), they blocked off the make-up, shampoo and body wash sections! Thanks shoppers... I am sure cottagers will be happy to know they can pick up some games for their Wii in lieu of soap! read more

The pharmacy failed to call me several times to tell me a drug or another was not covered. I did not discover this until I went to pick it up. Disappointed that they did not call and inform me. read more

Absolutely terrible service by the pharmacy! My girlfriend handed them a prescription at 11am was told that there would be an hour wait so she asked for them to be transferred to a closer Shoppers. The lady was extremely rude but went to do it anyways. We waited for 2 hours and when we went to pick them up they had not been sent over yet. We went back to Wellington to fix the issue and they said that they had. It has now been 41/2 hours since we dropped off her prescription and we just found out that they have still not been sent. My girlfriend is very ill and should not be driving around like this or waiting this long for her medicine. This is all due to one lady's inability to perform a simple task. I highly suggest that a corporate agent is sent to this store to review the way their employees treat their customers. It is appalling! read more

The Pharmacist Mr. Alaa was EXTREMELY arrogant !!! We arrived and handed the male pharmacist the RX - he hands it back and says "Go back to the hospital its missing the health card number" I asked him .. can you just fax the hospital instead please. He grunted -- "it'll be awhile" He then faxed the RX to the Dr. at RVH. He said "go sit down and wait" again RUDELY. We sat down and I grabbed a bag of potatoe chips and went back up and said I'd like to pay for these before I open the bag. He then said I'M A PHARMACIST I'M BUSY ... again very rudely, it was way too beneath him to take my money for the bag of chips. It was 4:35am no one was in the store today May 21st, 2017 the long weekend. One security guard Two girls stocking the shelves and him - a total of 4 employees. ZERO CUSTOMERS. I said ok well I'll pay for it when I pay for my husbands prescriptions then. (My husband broke his arm and was in extreme pain :( and needed the medication) The Pharmacist gets up from sitting behind his desk and says Here take your written prescription and get out, try to get it filled somewhere else ! Knowing FULL WELL this SDM is the "only" 24 hour prescription dispensary. He refused to fill the prescription .... SAY WHAT ??! ! We went back to the hospital and got the Dr. there to call this arrogant pharmacist... he was spoken to and was told to fill it. We went back and it was done. This guy has a MAJOR CHIP on his shoulder and needs to treat every paying customer with respect. I sincerely hope SDM HEAD OFFICE looks into this guy that worked the night shift Saturday to Sunday May 21st, 2017. Refusing to let a customer pay for an item and then refuses to fill a MUCH NEEDED prescription is so unprofessional. read more

I have always found the pharmacy staff easy to deal with. Even when they are obviously dealing with a large inflow of prescriptions., and they do not have a lot of time for chatting, I do appreciate that they are diligently working to fill all prescriptions correctly. When I had a problem with a prescription not filled out properly they did their best to correct it with the doctor. Though one time the doctor in emerge had not filled it out properly and the pharmacist on duty could not correct the problem and had to send me back to the ER dept to get it corrected. The problem was not caused by the pharmacy and they do have to follow government regulations, they were very apologetic. read more

The pharmacy assistant was helpful and gave me an approximate time (20 min) for them to complete the task. This really helps especially if you've got other tasks to do instead of just waiting at the pharmacy area. I left to do my other errands and returned in 20 minutes. The pharmacist made sure my prescription was filled before I got there. Good customer service from all staff.

The current owner has endeavoured to make improvements in the whole system of filling prescriptions and dispensing medications in a timely manner. My husband and I suffer from chronic pain and so, a reliable drug store is essential for us.

We are glad we did because we are noticing a good effort on the pharmacy's part regarding our prescriptions getting filled much more promptly and without confusion or hassle. Keep up the good work!

If I could rate the pharmacy here less than one star I would. This old brunette woman working behind the desk who claims to be a "pharmacy assistant" does not deserve to have a job in customer service. She frequently rolled her eyes at my request and was extremely rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. I switched pharmacies because of her - so did multiple friends and family members of mine. A note to anyone working with people, if you don't want your job I'm positive there is someone out there who does!!! read more

The service was friendly and it was nice that they accepted credit and debit cards regardless of the amount you're spending, but the quality of the products turned me off from it being likely to return to the venue. I bought 2 sets of kid's swimming goggles for their regular per-item price of $1.25. When I got home and opened them, I realized that not only were they covered dust, but the lenses were scratched beyond being able to see through them. Not only that, but also one of the pairs didn't have anything to keep the elastic on, so as soon as you would try to put them on, the elastic would slip out from each side one at a time. I also got tweezers to use for removing slivers I got in my finger, and well needless to say that they were completely useless for the intended purposes, as the tips would bend backwards when squeezing them together, so they would never actually be able to grip anything. I know that this is a dollar store, and the quality of what you can get for a dollar a lot of times isn't worth it, but I must say that I found their products to be of ridiculous quality in comparison to what you'd find at a Dollarama for instance. Like I mentioned in the first paragraph, I don't see me returning to this "dollar store" again, based on my experience with their products.
