28 September 2017 I have just been in this chemist after taking my father for an emergency appointment at Moore Street Surgery. My father is very ill and has developed a severe chest infection over the last few days. Despite this he refused to go to hospital, hence the dash to the GPs surgery. On the way there he almost collapsed. He saw the doctor who gave him a prescription for antibiotics. I went into the nearest chemist, Whitworth's, to have his prescription filled out. My father assured me he could make his way to the car but while waiting in the chemist I could see him struggling to get the car door open. I shouted to him Are you ok? Which was witnessed by the staff. The shop staff seemed to be in a state of confusion over some returned medicine and a missing prescription. After waiting ten minutes to hand my prescription in, the gentleman whose prescription was lost, turned to me and said Here you go love, you go next. I went to hand the script to the assistant standing in front of me but they refused to take it, stating Do you mind I'm serving this gentleman! A few minutes later the member of staff returned to take the scripts. At first they stretched out their hand then changed their mind and proffered a basket, indicating I should drop the script in. The member of staff clearly thought I was dirty or at least wanted to imply that. I am a primary school teacher and would never dream of being so rude to a child, a parent, indeed anyone. Do yourself a favour and cross over to the other side of Knowsley road, nice pharmacist, rude assistant.
