Carsil Chemists 317-319 Mare Street, London E8 1EJ

"Very rude woman behind the counter that refused to give me over the counter medication that was recommended by my Dr because she “knew better”. Very strange and rude behaviour. Would recommend using other pharmacies in the area."

"Super rude and unhelpful staff. Other pharmacies in the area are much more helpful."

"Poor customer service - I had walked in and greeted the older Asian man behind the til with a “Good morning” to set the tone for my encounter with him and he ignored me, continuing to type his message on his mobile phone before acknowledging me, even when he did acknowledge me, he blankly starred at me as if to say “get straight to the point” so I did, get straight to the point. I had told him that “I just wanted to smell some perfumes” and had asked if he has time on his hands (knowing that he would have to open up the cabinets which would only take a moment) he then proceeded back to his mobile device and responded “No I don’t have the time for that” even though it was just me and him in the store, with no other customers. I then said “Okay” and removed myself where I did not feel welcomed. I would also like to add on that, based on my last experience at the shop, I had got the chance to smell the colognes but they were really old bottles, meaning the juice inside them had expired. I know this because I was doing a few perfume comparison test on that particular day. I just wanted to see if it had been updated, since."

"Not a great experience here. The staff at the entrance wasn’t wearing a mask and told me the pharmacist wasn’t in to give out prescriptions, which wasn’t accurate as they were right there serving customers. Waited for 15 mins to get served and didn’t get any help. Customers come in and out not wearing a mask and get no comments..."

"If I could give 0 stars, I would, to be honest. My friend went in for emergency contraception and the woman behind the counter didn't seem to respect the privacy of the situation. She didn't ask any questions regarding consent or health, except if she'd taken one before, which she had. This then led to the lady speaking to my friend in a not so pleasant manner and making my friend feel ashamed for something that was out of her control, and ashamed for needing this type of pill. If you are in need of emergency contraception in Hackney, the Pharmacy opposite Lidl (Sonigra Pharmacy) are lovely and really respectful of privacy."
