Looking to switch from Walmart pharmacy to Shoppers (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to move all my business away from Walmart, and their pharmacy is one service we use often.

While I know there are "lesser evils" than Shoppers, they are walking distance away, and that's important to me.

Can anyone share their experience with Shoppers for their pharmacy, and even better would be from anyone who's switched from Walmart Pharmacy to Shoppers.

Thanks in advance.

Shoppers was pretty inept when we were using them. Frequent errors and constantly having to argue with the manager because my 100% insurance coverage wouldn’t cover some meds because the pharmacy wanted a bigger profit than insurance was willing to pay.

We finally transferred to the pharmacy at Save On Foods and they’ve been pretty solid.

Ultimately it comes down to the pharmacy manager and their standards. I don’t think a particular chain is going to be any better than any other one across the board.

That sucks.

Looks like the independent pharmacy may be my best option. Even the ratings are 4.8 stars vs 2.x with Shoppers. LOL
