My review on Shoppers in Newcastle is not positive, though we've encountered many pleasant checkout ppl on various quick stops. We use the Post Office because they are always competent and courteous. The pharmacy is another matter. We took prescriptions worth more than $800 in one evening (more than 5 years ago now). While we waited, we picked up 10% cream that was on sale. My husband and I each took 2. When we went to pay for the cream and prescriptions, such a fuss was made that we were not allowed to buy that much cream (we might be trying to resell it for profit, etc.) We explained that we usually buy several in Bowmanville Shoppers without a problem, but, no, we couldn't have more than 2. I explained that my new order for meds would mean that I would continue to buy refills, etc. here, but the clerk (who first declined our purchase) called the pharmacy/store owner. He sided with her. We left everything. Then went back to our doctor to get new Rx to take to our favorite Bowmanville Shoppers, left the Newcastle store with their unsold meds and refused to ever purchase any items there again worth more than a few dollars. The store is a 5-minute walk from our house. It's not a place we recommend. Over those last 5 or so years, they've lost at least $10K in Rx from us. read more
