Boots the Chemist in my small town is totally useless.

Recently they stopped opening their Pharmacy on a Sunday.

I visited yesterday Wednesday to book my Flu jab and the pharmacy was closed again! I asked if I could just book my appointment but was refused. I had been given a priority flu booking online, but for the second year running it didn’t work.

The man in front of me said to the Pharmacist ‘what should I do I need my tablets’ the answer was ‘phone 111’. Outrageous. 😡

I use my local boots mainly for prescriptions , but even there they have a lunch break , so I time my calls around that .
It also likes like staff cuts as well , I think allot like most shops to today Covid with online as destroyed customers.
I recently visited a Sainsburys in Bicester ,and Lloyds Pharmacy as closed there recently plus other local stores closing as well including a WHS as many seem to subscribe online for magazines and other items are duplicated elsewhere .
