    Be smart! The bank will NEVER text you! EVER! Only email you. They will not phone you either. If you have doubts, you contact the bank yourself , and ignore communication from them. Think smart!

    I Have Been Banned From Both Branches of Chemist Warehouse In Ipswich By Their Franchisee

    I hear you. The pharmacists have to push through large volumes of customers, and the owners don’t care, except about greed. They don’t have the time to sit with you and explain your medical issues with you. Take your business to a pharmacy that knows you well, and will take the time to sit down...

    Could NDIS reform mistakes leave you or your loved ones at risk? Find out how

    Australian tourists fall ill after consuming cocktails abroad—here’s what the toxicology report says

    Say what you want, but I don’t believe in coincidences. Something was in what they consumed, and I don’t think we will be told the truth. Their interest is in tourism, and without that, they won’t survive. The truth will come out hopefully.

I suggest you change pharmacy, to be able to speak to a pharmacist when you need to. There’s no customer service at Chemist Warehouse. Hardly any...
