Shoppers Drug Mart Recensioni 

Rude staff in the pharmacy, I'm on quite a bit of medication that me and my doctor are fine with, apparently it's too much for the pharmacy, I've been insulted about the need for them, and they treat me like an addict. They think they know better than my doctor, even having never examined me, I'm in my 70's, they expect me to be in pain for the remainder of my life. Horrible

I consistently suffer negative experiences with Shoppers drug mart. Their app is pitiful, glitchy, and seldom works. I implemented MFA and the verification service is consistently "down"... So I can't log in. This is only one example of the pathetic offering from this company. The pharmacy staff are often rude and treat customers as if they are "bothering" them when they come to pick up prescriptions and PAY them... The irony is pathetic. We are in a very sad state in this sector of the Canadian retail economy, and Shoppers/Loblaws corporation is the biggest offender.

Consistently rude service from behind the prescription counter at Upper James Shoppers Drug Mart in Hamilton. In contrast, the staff at the cash registers and the post office are consistently helpful and friendly.

This unfortunate saga is in its 15 th week and has finally come to a close. I had a $25 gift card that had been replaced by an updated version much to my surprise. I asked to speak with the store manager and was told that I could only receive resolution by calling head office myself. She claimed that I had more clout than her. ( sad but true). I started my journey right away on the phone and after much deliberation was promised a new card in the mail. 2 weeks went by and I tri d again. Another 2 weeks went by and the frustration was mounting. Another 2 weeks go by and I called back again and this time I asked to speak to a supervisor and was assured that the problem would be dealt with. Well, I was lied to by 3 different employees. My next attempt was to email the card department. It took 2 weeks to get a response and was told again that my problem would be dealt with and that a replacement card would be sent and it would likely take 2 more weeks. I received it today and once it’s redeemed, I’ll never step foot in a Shoppers store again for the rest of my life. If you check out reviews for Google and Trust Pilot, not a positive word is written. A store that only sells Western medicine along with mostly junk food ought to be ashamed of themselves but somehow I think they justify it. I’m done.

Waiting for pharmacist appt. Was booked for 5:05pm. Came 20 min early. 5:15 still waiting. Previous customer was into my scheduled appt time.
Then pharmacist left. At 5:30pm I went to prescription pick up counter asking about my appt. Was told to have a seat by pharmacy tech. At this point now waiting 45 mins.
5:35pm another pharmacist said if it's just prescription refill then he would do it on computer for me. 2nd pharmacist returned, came out of consult room and called my name for my appointment. 30 minutes past appointment time.
Told pharmacist that was already helping me that this has been the shittiest. service I have ever had. Since the pharmacy changed hand in the previous year, the staff are more ethnic and have to repeat name and birthdate multiple times before they can find me in the computer.

Amazing staff Tara is so nice and helpful I totally recommend all of the staff are awesome

I didn't expect to see so many negative reviews here. I guess when people are satisfied with the service, they don't bother to say thank you. I want to say thank you, because I shop at your stores all the time.

I purchased 2 of $100 amazon gift cards physically from a store in Peterborough ON. When they were being used, we discovered that they were scammed and all the money had disappeared. I called the number on the back of the gift cards and was redirected to submit a claim online. I did so and uploaded all the information. I have proof of everything. They then deflected me to call Amazon which was just as useless which I shouldn't have to do anyways as I didn't buy the gift card from them directly. No two customer service agents knew how handle this and no one at Shoppers could or would help.

Stay aways from this company!!

I tried several times to contact the Post Office. Was transferred several times and put on hold several times. The person working the phone system could not understand English. Never got through to the Post Office. I will never do business at this location again on King George Hwy in Newton.

Stopped at Shoppers on way home from work. Bought milk, ice cream bars and a frozen pizza. I was using self-checkout. When I got home I happened to look at the receipt. The ice cream bars were posted as on sale at $4.99 from $6.99. My receipt showed I was charged $6.99. The pizza was posted as $5.00 down from $5.99. I was charged $5.99. I went back later in the evening to check, verified the posted pricing- the cashier said the posted prices started at 6pm. Seriously? There is no mention of pricing taking effect at 6:00 anywhere, I have photos of the shelf tag- price effective until 4/23 is all it says.Then the manager, who happened to be at the cash dealing with another customer problem said in order to get the overpayment refunded I would need to bring the items back. Seriously? This is so ridiculous and such a scam I cannot believe it. These pricing scams at Shoppers have been going on for years. Watch your receipts, they are most likely wrong.

Very unhelpful and condescending pharmacist. Was trying to get a few emergency migraine pills while visiting from another province. Had my prescription faxed to SDM. Four times. But SDM insisted they had never seen it. Suggested I pay a random doctor online to write me a new prescription.

Switched to Pharmasave. Friendly, helpful, kind, understanding. Had me set up in no time. Will never shop at SDM again.

I'm normally very happy with Shoppers Drug Mart, but Shoppers Photo lost all my photos. I had a large amount of photos stored on their website and it was all deleted because of changes that were made. I sent them a message and they said that after the new website is finished I would have my photos back. They lied. I never got them back and now they are saying it is impossible.

Shoppers Drug Mart is an establishment I am always able to rely on when I am in need of hygiene products of any kind. Any different product I have needed, Shoppers has always had in stock and at a reasonably affordable price. The consumer purchase experience here is very efficient with aisles clearly labeled to be able to find whatever product I am searching for and purchase with little to no wait. I recommend this establishment.

Shoppers drug Mart will be the next company to go out of business!

I avoid ordering from shoppers drug Mart after years of bad service and other.

However they were the only location that had my product so I took a risk, ordered online because you could not purchase in store.
Promise delivery was April 6th. And I am still waiting. Shoppers drug Mart did not email did not text no information was sent to me in regards to their late delivery.

Now I am going to have to fight to get my money back. Who knows if I will ever see my product? And if it doesn't arrive what condition will it arrive in?

Horrible experience, supervisor Peter stopped me to choose a deodorant by smell it,unbelievable, nobody did that ever!!!!

PS Never come back.

My husband and I came to Shoppers Drug Mart on Victoria Avenue in Niagara Falls on Friday April 3, 2026 to do some shopping. My husband who is diabetic needed to use the washroom as he he has done on numerous occasions in this store. He went to ask to use the bathroom at the pharmacy station where he was told that it was out of service. The two employees Jasmine and Mary-Anne proceeded to tell him to go urinate outside and laughed at him. This is appalling and disgusting behaviour. Shame on them for belittling a diabetic good customer. I will follow up with the store manger and head office. Horrible customer service!!!

Very rude unhelpful staff. Anything one asks, seems too much trouble for the staff! Shopper’s is a LAST RESORT stop for me. The don’t deserve the business!!!

Highly recommend not applying for jobs here, especially for beauty positions. The work environment is extremely unprofessional, toxic and management does not handle employee concerns seriously. Beauty manger Ambrose from 1410 shoppers drug mart may appear to be the face of Shoppers from the outside, but anyone who has actually worked with him knows how biased and unfair he can be. Shift distribution is not handled equally, and favoritism is very obvious.
They keep hiring new employees, but nobody stays because shifts are promised during hiring and then not given. Recently, many of the older employees left for the same reason; unfair treatment and lack of proper management support. Several of us raised these concerns multiple times, but no action was ever taken. Lately, he has also been targeting employees who spoke up about these issues.

I had already been approved for leave, but due to the ongoing war situation I was unable to return to work on time. Instead of communicating professionally or trying to understand the circumstances, he chose to terminate me without giving any clear reason. On top of that, he blocked me rather than handling the situation in a proper and respectful way, which only shows how unprofessional the management is. I will be attaching screenshots for reference..

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you want a fair workplace, respectful management, and stable shifts.

The most expensive drugstore bar non.
