October already, this year seems to be rushing by.
Out with the dogs, a short walk for Daisy, so Mal carried on with Ellie.
Later I walked into town to the pharmacy to collect my prescription. I now know why the doc asked me where I wanted the prescription sent, he obviously knows how bad they are in Boots here. I have read a few people complaining about them and also rumours of it closing down.
So, this is what I wrote on the local Sandwich board………………
“I had a phone call from the doctors yesterday morning and his conclusion was to write me a prescription and asked where I would like it sent electronically. The obvious place to me was Boots, Sandwich, which he said he would do straight away. I gave them time and went to collect it this morning. The shop was empty, two assistants and a pharmacist. I was told it wouldn’t be in until Monday afternoon. I explained I would not be here Monday, so perhaps they could advise me where I would be able to collect it today. The pharmacist then looked through the shelves at the back and told me to take a seat for 10 minutes. It seems miracles do happen, she found they did have it!! All this was done with an attitude that I was asking the impossible for wanting my prescription now rather than in 2 days. It is bad enough waiting 2 days to get a doctor to call you but then have to wait a further 3 days for the pharmacist to fetch it from a shelf just behind her.”
I have come to the conclusion there is no such thing as customer service any more.
On the way back from the town I walked past the lovely cobbled Guildhall forecourt which at great expense is now being dug up and replaced! Over £1million, I didn’t know there was that much money to spare.
We always know when it is dinner time! They line up by the kitchen.
A very disappointing Spurs game but Hammers won.
