Went to boots today for some medication, they said it was prescription only . I then added it to basket and click and collected it . The woman was so rude to me! So rude !!! I then told her colleague … as I walked out, I wasn’t rude . She then shouted across the whole shop… you better not be talking about me!!!! Wow wow wow!!!!!

Well, I told Barbara that she better stock up because with the way things are going, what is the world coming to?

She sounds like she was having a bad day.

And she shouldn’t have taken it out on you or any customer.

But you haven't told us what she said that was rude?

If it was prescriptions only, you shouldn’t have been able to just pick it up. If it wasn’t, she was wrong. 🤷‍♀️

I think she was annoyed that it actually wasn’t prescription only ….
