Shoppers Drug Mart

During a brief phone conversation with one of the management time, I felt the essence of the business shined in the voice of the long time employee of Shoppers. I am going there soon and I expect my visit to be pleasant, the floors to be sparkling clean as always this leaves such a great inviting presence. The staff of course are helpful, caring, compassionate; but not smothering. I recommend any and all of you to come experience this wonderful Drug store where not only do they take care of our health needs, but provide a variety of items to purchase. Sometimes when a customer comes in, who is having a bad day, they can misinterpret an encounter with a cashier, technician or pharmacist and walk away with a bad feeling or experience, it's happens sometime, but hopefully the person realizes is was just a bad day or a mistake or some human error thing and will once again come in for a spa day where she/he will feel good to come in and feel even better when they leave...this is my Drug Store of Choice...Shoppers in Antigonish...come see for yourself...don't take my word...Joanie B Good!

Can't go wrong with having a post office, groceries, electronics, and a pharmacy all in one building! It even started carrying some smart home appliances by Nest and Google, which my inner geek could not be happier about.

Yesterday they had texted me that my prescriptions were filled. Today I went in and not all of them were filled. So I did some shopping because they said it would only take 10 minutes to finish them, but then it took 30 minutes. So after filling my prescriptions I went to the counter to pay for the items I got while I was shopping. There was at least 12 people ahead of me in the line because they are trying to push the self checkouts and only had one person working the checkout. After waiting for 10 minutes and the line not moving I just set my stuff on the counter and left. I refuse to participate in self checkouts because I don't want to see millions of people lose their jobs and I don't want to see the wholesale destruction of the economy when 30% of the population in North America lose their jobs to automation and they cannot purchase anything anymore. What are these geniuses think is going to happen when 30% of the workforce has no job because employers want to get rid of staff to save money? Who do they think is going to buy their stuff? It will be like dominos. The stores that the working poor rely on will go first, adding more to the unemployment line, The owners of these businesses will loose everything, the middle class will be next as they loose good paying jobs at companies that go bankrupt. It's just unending.I also refuse to do unpaid work for Billionaire corporations.

Great store..... don't get me wrongYET with the new systems now of self checkouts there is a quota of at least 40%....That is why there is less regular checkouts available ....Its like this anywhere you go... banks , grocery stores , etc...I don't want to use self checkouts myself as it is putting people out of jobs ...It is all about debit or credit....We are relying too much on that... AND THE SYSTEM IS NOT PERFECT ....

The customer service is great here! Their employees are helpful and knowledgeable. Whomever is at the make up counter always greets you with a smile. The store is moderately sized, so their product selection is good. The magazine section is expansive.They recently added self-serve checkouts, so it's earned that fifth star, in my opinion.

There are many reasons to avoid this store if you can.The pharmacy is always slow. the person in charge of putting in prescriptions has twice now forgotten to actually put mine into the system resulting in a wait after i came back. The other technician has the personality of a stump and i had to bring additional paperwork to show her my copay was waived as it was a thing she has never heard of and isnt a thing"additionally they don't keep a manned cash open at all times anymore. A cash is NOT open if you are first in line and have to tell them to open it and then wait. its "available" and thats not the same thingThis has happened several times. Long lines form and they try to shuffle people to the self checkout. Ok fine but when there are 10 people waiting who have all heard you say the self checkout are open and have declined their use

This shop has never heard anything about sustainability or zero waste. I wanted to by a product which was out of date (only one day), but not to the full price. They rather throw these products in the bin than offering discounts. Not ecological and not economical at all.

I wanted a perfume from the $21.00 shelve but it wasn't wrapped anymore and probably been sprayed. There were 2 younger women employees by the checkout in cosmetics. I asked if they had another unopened perfume I was interested in? Just because it's only $21, doesn't mean I have to buy it unwrapped and sprayed?! They argued with me about how little money shoppers makes on these products because they are so cheap and that I should just accept what I can get!? There is something wrong with that picture. I was talked down to by two employees and basically told I should accept a substandard product because it's inexpensive and the company makes very little money on this product!? I have worked in cosmetics and shoppers for many years. Don't presume to talk to me in that way and then try and make me accept the idea of buying something substandard because it's cheap.

Very supportive with helping me when I transferred to them.

Extremely racist told me to leave would not provide me with my medications. Attempted to use my medication to extort accommodating behavior towards their rudeness amd ignorance.
