Mathew at the pharmacy is rude, impolite, no manners and no education what so ever. This person would not be working in customer service at all, screams and hand up the phone on you. What kind of person is this? I want to talk to a manager please. If I talk to a customer the way he did to me and to my friend I am sure I would lose my job.

Assistant pharmacist didn't give specific directions to go to the back of the pharmacy. Told me not to bother knocking as i would be waited for another staff. I waited, called and and ran bell and was never told i was standing by the wrong door. They make you wait in the back alley, as we are getting off the truck testing.
