First of all, clearly paid reviews. They're all either local guides or one review five-stars. One of them is an account called "Google User." Too obvious by far. There are good and bad things about the chemist. The location is the closest to the city, the parking is ample and the store is one of the best laid out pharmacies I've been inside. Basically this place has a lot of potential, but they have quite a few weak links in staff. If your staff make a mistake which delays someones medication by 24hrs, apologize. I wouldn't have been happy but I would have accepted it. Don't instead tell the
