That basically means that I am in a situation where I had to drive to the pharmacy twice without getting all my tablets and now I have to call my gp again to get a new prescription, find another pharmacy and get them.
What could have been done instead is either to check in the first place that the manufacturer can deliver the medicine - a pharmacist should know which ones have a shortage and advise accordingly - or give me a call since the meds were not available so I don’t have to drive there without a reason. Truly unprofessional.
I went to collect my prescription yesterday at 3.50pm to find they'd decided to close at 3.30pm.
Tried again today and arrived at 11.50am to find a big queue stood outside a locked door in minus 3 although the pharmacy was technically open. A note on the door said they were only letting four in at a time due to staff shortages. 40 minutes later only two people had come out and none let in. and the 10 people outside were then told that they were closing for a 90 minute lunch break.
Given that they were also closing early at 5pm, I figured waiting another 90 minutes in the freezing cold while staff had a leisurely lunch with no guarantee of being served when they deigned to briefly return was not the best use of my day.
Might take some camping gear and try again tomorrow,
