  I went into this Pharmacy today to get a prescription - 6 tubes of toothpaste as prescribed by my dentist. The very pleasant receptionist informed me that they only had 3 in stock - and the remainder "could be here by tomorrow" and put them down on a counter in the rear of the shop and spoke to a shabbily dressed, obese gentleman - who grunted something at her - and waddled around as if he was lost. Both he and the lady then served other customers and left me standing. I am 83 years old and have acute back-ache. I asked the lady what was happening to my 3 tubes of toothpaste prescription, and she replied it has to be checked by the pharmacist. I replied that it was only toothpaste - but the pharmacist just looked at me and took his time in bringing them to me. I then asked for some pain-killers for my back-ache - and he grunted something mono-syllabic to me, giving me the choice of 3 brands of what I had asked for. I purchased what I needed and said "Thank-you". He grunted something unintelligible to me - and I left. Whilst I was waiting - 3 other people could see my disapproval - and registered their unhappiness with their situation. On arriving at my home - I told my wife about this - my first experience at the St Just branch . My wife is extremely placid, patient and accommodating - replied that she did not like going to that branch - as the person I had described is rude, impolite and "slower than charity". I will not be visiting that branch again - preferring to travel the 7 miles into Penzance. I have always had high regard for Day Lewis pharmacies - apart from this last experience.

  Such a shame our local pharmacy has gone to pot! A pharmacy without a pharmacist a large proportion of the time. People, who are ill and frail, go to pick up essential medication only to be told no medication can by handed out. No wonder people are getting frustrated. Previously, it was bad enough when you would wait days for an e-script only to be told 'ho its just come through, it won't be ready until Monday'. Now it's "no, sorry we have no pharmacist.Don't get me wrong, the ladies that work their try there best, but management (if any) need to sort this mess out. A pharmacy needs to be a place of trust, reliance and advice. The only advice I can get is for hair colour, a catchup on local gossip and be assured there closed at 5.45pm when the door says 6. The place is dying, wake up management, take care of your staff and look after the community.
