Booked appointment at 5.00pm - was kept waiting for initial tests. The place seemed chaotic with lots of Boots uniformed people milling around but not helping customers. I was directed to a waiting area and was there for 1 1/4 hrs with other customers it seemed going first before me although arriving after me. When I asked how much longer to wait I was told there was only one consultant as all the others had left and it would probably be another 10 - 20 mins - so I abandoned the place in disgust! Having first told me the appointment would be at 5.00 pm for a half hour I then left after 1 hr and 15 mins without even being told the result of the initial test. How different from Specsavers who are very efficient!

For the last several weeks I’ve been purchasing Hemoglobin liquid to give me an energy boost for the sort of work I do so I went up to the counter to pay the pharmacist said ‘why are you buying this again’? Is there any particular reason’? My reply to him was to give an energy boost then he insisted he saw me buying the same product a couple of days ago I felt he had no right to challenge me in what I was buying I felt intimidated by him.

After adding many items to my basket online, I went to checkout only to find that you cannot pay with a Boots gift card!!?? It seems I have to go into our local store, which is very small and won't stock all of the items I require. Also, very inconvenient for me to travel to the store. Come on Boots..keep up with the times!!

No staff on the shop floor. Staff on the beauty counters reluctant to help. When I asked the sales assistant question her response was "Google it"

The service at the tills is hit and miss. Some of the staff are helpful but I'm sorry to say a lot of them are not and this compares badly with the standard of service in most other shops. The last time I went in the assistant did not offer to help with putting my purchases in my bag and then pointed out that a lady behind me was waiting! This was despite the fact that I am one of your older customers. A number of staff (not the young ones) have an attitude problem. They are much more considerate at Superdrug. Even with points I'm fed up with Boots. You don't offer a paper bag for items bought.

My on-line order was incomplete and wrong item included in it. I had to re purchase my original order, refund item which was not mine. As this was at the holiday period, my order was too late when it arrived and refund was not straight forward. In all this took 12 days from ordering to refund. Very disappointed

Was assured that I would receive next day delivery. Called into the local store twice and having checked their system item not received but assured again it would be in next day - xmas eve. No not received. Phoned online number who advised they were aware that it was a failure delivery on the Saturday morning. Did not try to make contact by any method to have the chance to obtain elsewhere. Does not show on system that would have alerted local office. Had to re-order as this was not done. Extremely disappointed in their lack of service/communication and promises.

My online order never arrived at the store, I was not contacted once payment had been made. I emailed customer care and got no response either. I visited the store to try to find out what had happened to my order. Gentlemen I dealt with was great and managed to arrange a refund for me and find a similar product in store. Very disappointed with boots overall

Hi I recently bought some items at Boots Gatwick Airport, South Terminal-Arrivals and had an 'interesting' experience! I was paying for my items when the guy behind the counter saw that I had a lot of loose change in my purse and said I could pay with this if I wanted. He then proceeded to take my purse from me without asking and began tipping the money out! I took it back and said I'd do it myself! The bill was for £3.49 and so I gave him a £10 note and fifty pence as I couldn't be bothered to count out the change and was in a hurry. He then gave me one penny change! I asked for the rest and he seemed flustered and gave me the remaining £7. I don't want to say that he was being dishonest but it was a very strange experience, I'm only 63 (and don't have grey hair!) and have never had a shop assistant take my purse from me before. More staff training is needed I think!

Ordered online and Boots duplicated the order. Called and said that I should return the second one received and get a refund. The purchase is taking 10 days to be delivered. So now I have to make a trip to post office or Boots to get a refund on their mistake. Absolutely hopeless - perhaps someone from Amazon could help them out with online shopping. Will never order online from Boots again.

A lot of items were not in stock. Prices were confusing in the way they were placed. Customer service wasn't great. Very overpriced

Boots pharmacy need to change their policy with reference to pharmaceuticals that are not permitted over a certain age. I went to the Sheffield Drakehouse branch to buy canesten cream and was asked, in front of other customers, how old I was. I replied 56, and asked why only to be informed that they cannot sell to anyone over 60. First of all, why the hell is it acceptable to ask someone their age and then insult them by basically admitting you think they look older than they actually are. Surely it would have been far more tactful to ask if the purchase was for someone aged 60 or over?? Come on Boots! You are more expensive than other chemists and I'm rapidly running out of reasons to stay loyal. I will never buy from that particular pharmacy again. Such a shame as the rest of the staff have always been fabulous.

Why is it that in our Minehead store our prescription is Never ready when we go to collect it on the day we have been told. This is happening now all the time. The staff in the Pharmacies are so unhelpful, and miserable. Is it so bad to work for Boots? What has happened to the helpful smiling people we see in other store? Does Boots training need to be improved in customer relations. Most of the time the Pharmacies English is very poor and hard to understand, and this makes it difficult for elderly hard of hearing pensioners. Very disappointed in how our local store is doing.

Twice I've had to leave the queue as the wait was too long. Not enough people serving.

Cannot understand why Botanics range has increased in price by 100%. I normally buy serum cream, serum oil and radiance balm. Previous prices £4.00@ - new price £7-£8.

The woman at the Clinique counter in the Crewe Grand Junction Retail Park is extremely rude and patronising. I wanted to choose my foundation as I explained to her I have had Clinique foundation before but the sales person didn't match me properly and it made me look orange. She was very rude and demanded I give her my postcode which I said no I want to pick on my own and she wouldn't allow me to. I was forced to choose another premium foundation instead from another counter. From now on I will buy my makeup from the Hanley store instead.

Penzance high st branch never has enough staff but today was on another level. Pharmacist rushed off his feet so assistants were helping him so there was no one available to serve at the non prescription pharmacy counter for over counter medicines. Left my stuff on the counter, left and came back 40 minutes later to find products still there and no one still serving. Asked to speak to manager, was told unavailable. Left without purchasing all that I had come in for as could only get served at non pharmacy counter. Yet again only one person serving for the rest of the (large ) store! Staff acknowledged that there was no staff and even over heard one assistant saying a member of staff had walked out. Dirty store but staff try their best.
