looking for a smaller pharmacy that cares

tired of the atrocious service over the years from anything owned by loblaws (superstore, shoppers) ....wal-mart was a bit better so I guess they'd be a half decent last resort

are there still indies around and how are they?

i'm sans costco membership atm

where are you located?

I'm at Richmond and there is one right by the blood work office and he's super good. There's also another one across from Richmond hospital which is also good.

Lastly, my friends used to own Pharamsave and he was the one that does actually care. Good luck. just gotta find the right guy in your area.

I go to Ackroyd pharmacy in the strip mall where price smart is located. I'm back in Vancouver now and I still go there for my meds. The people working there are kind.

You don’t need a Costco membership for the pharmacy, it’s illegal in Canada to deny health care

^ right, i go there for eye exam but that's every 2 years, i would assume costco is crazy busy

east/van burnaby would be best
the smaller chain that i go to was converted to a shoppers last year

Non-members can say they're going to the pharmacy and bypass the Costco employees in the entrance?
