Was it too much for them to pick up the phone and give the doctors a call for you. I went to the chemist the other day. Said it will be 5 mins 20 mins later still sat there. Another lady came in they couldn't find hers turned out they had put it to be delivered next day. Poor women had to go and pick up grandaughter from school was getiing into a panic. I thought well they mislaid hers I had better ask there is was sat waiting behind the screen. Back to my local chemist next time at least they shout to see if you are there. Wondering what has happened to customer service. Germaine x

........Or was I right? I put in 2 repeat prescriptions at the docs the other day. Just went to the chemist to pick them up and only one was in. I explained that they had gone in at the same time so there was really no reson why the other shouldn't be there. Girl in chemist said I would have to go back to docs to find out what had happened to it. So I refused and said that as it wasn't my fault I wasn't doing the running around and she would have to find out where it was. Even the chemist tried to get rid of my by saying that the phone was engaged! lol. You should have seen their faces though. I thought the assistant was going to punch me! The way I see it is that they are providing a service that had gone wrong somewhere and so it was up to them to sort it out. What do you think? And do you stand up to people when you think you're getting a raw deal? Jeanette x
