They charge a minimum of £14 per item on a private prescription, so even if you are buying medicine worth £3 or so you will be charged £14 - this is blatant, shameless price gouging. When we challenged the pharmacist, saying that the doctor had said it should only be a few pounds, the pharmacist told us that any pharmacist would charge a similar amount. After investigating further I find that Lloyds Pharmacy charges a minimum of £5 per item for private prescriptions, so the pharmacist was clearly giving us false information. While I don't like minimum pricing in general, £5 is much more reasonable than £14 - almost 3 times as much. In this case the cost of the medicine at Lloyds would have been £4.62, so rounding up to £5 would have been fine.
To make matters worse, we later found that they had dispensed an incorrect quantity of tablets so we'll have to go back to collect the missing ones.
Anyway, lesson learned - won't be coming here again. It's open slightly later than other pharmacies which is why we came here in the first place, but you pay a lot for that convenience.
Yesterday’s episode: sever conjunctivitis, tried some drops given by another chemist but didn’t work so I asked if there was anything else they could give me over the counter - response: no, sorry we can’t help, what you were given was correct and if it didn’t work you will need to see the doc. Dismissed without other options. Great!
Tried the pharmacy not far from them and:
A) the pharmacist actually checked on me
B) I was asked questions to assess the severity of it
C) I was given alternative drops
D) I received a great customer service
It takes very little to satisfy clients if one can only care a bit. Good luck to Roadnight team.
Delightful, helpful staff although I've known them so long, they are thought of as friends. They really looked after my late husband with such kindness and patience. Rahini will bend over backwards to help and I thank her for that. Thank you people xx
