However, driving there takes less than 10 minutes. I filled my asthma inhaler prescription at 3am. Why 3am? Because silly me was too lazy to do it during the day and my flight was in a couple of hours. The pharmacist who was on duty and I had a great conversation about being from the Caribbean. Plus, it took 8 minutes for her to fill my 'scription. That never happens during regular business hours. You won't find much people on staff or that even want to help you. They are usually too bubbly for late night or are dead on their feet. It doesn't bother me though. After shopping here for so long, I'm pretty much a seasoned vet and don't need any help navigating the aisles. I can however spent an inordinate amount of time in here figuring out what I need, picking up things I don't need, and then rationalizing that I'm about to spend double than what I estimated. But since they don't close, I don't have to rush and I can take all the time I need--even until 5am...I'm not saying that's happened before but--it has.

Milk is cheaper, cheese goes on sale for $3 a block and they have an extra selection of tchotchkes without the Halloween costumes and excess of holiday cheer. A star is lost for the limited staff on hand at checkout, especially on the many Senior's Days they hold. Pouting even as I type this. For real.

Every single time I have gotten what I want as the item is there If I went to the next closest one at Fairview Mall then my chances drop to about 70%. This is a bigger Shoppers with a beauty boutique - the sales people are really friendly and will help you find what you are looking for. It's never too busy - although some reviewers stated that on Seniors Day it gets packed. That's no surprise given the area around the store is mostly senior residences. This store also has a small grocery section as well. So if you need a lipstick colour, want to get some new scented body lotion and some chips then you can come here. How else am I going to get all dolled up to sit on the couch and watch Netflix without my local Shoppers helping me look good?!

Which she did, and she let me know when the change occurred and that my new card was on the way!

After having devoured a huge dessert for dinner, I needed to get a gift card for a colleague whose last day with the company was last Friday. I decided to stop by this Shoppers Drug Mart to buy one. What seems to be eons ago, when I took summer school courses at York University's main campus, I would drop by Shoppers Drug Mart in this area to browse. After all, it was around 9:30 pm and it was one of the few places that was open. Back then, the store was on the northwest corner of Dufferin and Steeles, probably where 168 Sushi currently is. I suppose good habits are hard to break. It was just before 9 pm when I parked in this plaza's lot. There was plenty of parking. The lot layout is a bit weird. You basically carve your own pathway as you drive. I walked in. Its layout is what you typically expect at SDM. I found the gift card section quickly. I got a restaurant one where you can specify how much money you'd like to load on the card. The customers in this area seem to be pressed for time or know that the apocalypse is coming. One person carrying a cart wanted me and another customer to get out of the way. Um, okay. Maybe he needed to unwind by shopping without a cart. Most folks like to shop calmly without having their lives threatened by a maniac with a shopping cart wanting to run folks down. I managed to nab a bottle of unsalted peanuts. They were on sale. I like them as a snack. I cashed out and had a wonderful, friendly cashier. I asked to load $50 on the gift card. Done! We both wished each other a great evening and I walked to my car with my goods. It's a decent store for all my needs. I hope that when I return, the mix of customers is better. (384)

It's a little different because it offers some asian foods in the snack section and the full sized Justin Beiber poster is deep inside the store to avoid it from getting stolen I suspect.

I called to check on my medication pickup, and the staff member I spoke with was unexpectedly rude and dismissive. Instead of offering clear or helpful information, their tone was impatient and unprofessional, which made the interaction unnecessarily stressful. Customers call the pharmacy because they need support and clarity--especially when it comes to medication. Courtesy and professionalism should be standard, but unfortunately that wasn't the case during my call. I hope the management at this location addresses these customer service issues so others don't have to experience the same treatment.

After that, they asked me to stay in the store and check back in 15 minutes to make sure I wasn't feeling faint, sick, or anything. Everything was fine and I went on my merry way.

The owner/pharmacist went to school at UofT and decided to come back to the area to open up this business, which I think is pretty neat. He was very helpful when I went in to fill prescriptions for the first time, and was welcoming to the neighbourhood when he learnt i'd just moved nearby. He even called to my old pharmacy to move my existing prescriptions, and has been great about getting orders done when I call in ahead of picking up. They have a small range of miscellaneous products you'd find at just about any pharmacy - snacks, misc health products, greeting cards, etc etc. Dispensing fees are pretty on par with most pharmacies, and just above places such as Walmart. Shorter hours mean that in a pinch for emergency prescriptions and products I might have to go elsewhere, but i'll stick with them for my regular prescriptions for sure. Overall, a win! Nice to have an owner-operated pharmacy in the neighbourhood.

We only wanted to park for a couple of minutes, but instead of calmly explaining the parking rules, he approached us with a very disrespectful attitude and told us to leave the parking lot. There was absolutely no need to speak to us the way he did. We understand that security has rules to enforce, but there is a respectful way to communicate with customers. The way this situation was handled was completely unnecessary and left a very bad impression. Shoppers should seriously look into how their security staff are treating customers. I hope management addresses this because customers should not be made to feel unwelcome or disrespected when visiting the store.
