I would like to dump it inside their properties. We have a parade of shops, and a pub about 30 seconds walk away, (well, n ot even that far) used to be a couple of bottle banks for different colours, a skip for small electrical items, and clothes one. There is a block of flats nearby, I suspect that is where the fly tippers are, because all of us in the bungalows and houses, have bins outside on a Monday on the grass verge. There is all sorts every single week. Now the glass bins have gone, people are just dumping the glass on the ground. That's NOT my moan.Nealry 3 weeks ago, got a call from surgery, did I want to have my scripts 2 monthly, and from pharmacy, save me contacting GP, said yes, because several letters put through surgery door last year produced nothing, and script is 28 days,pharmacy want 7 working days notice, which is a nightmare. Letter confirming arrived next day. Wednesday, went to pharma,no script, suggested I ring surgery, I tried for 3 hours, mostly, not even the recorded message came on,eventualy, it did, pressed the right number, no-one answered.Yesterday, ringing surgery,permanently engaged, Back to pharma , bloke, talking to pharmacist, said I had come in on Monday (????) and it still wasn't there,he said "tell her to ring the surgery", told him I had explained about phone call and letter, he was shouting at me, said he was fed up with people coming in shouting and complaining. Told him I had done neither of these things, I wasn't blaiming him. He was really angry, said he would "lend me some from his own stock, and take it back when I received mine", I am nearly in tears by now. Came home rang surgery, receptionist laughed, said I was glad she found my treatment funny!! She said my last script was for 2 months, did he not give me 2 months tables, NO, this is why it hadn't been done this week. I had my last second sheet it was dated 19.1.she said the last script I had been given was 8.2. for 2 months!! After I put the phone down, I realised the 8th was actually the date, they rang me. I don't know who is at fault, they always bplame each other. Want to go to nother pharm, but will this cause more problems. I know they are busy,stresed, but DO NOT shout at me, iespecially in front of staff and other customers, like I am a child!!
@Nanny Beach. I use Lloyds pharmacy and they have a system called Echo for repeat posted prescriptions. Free of charge, they email in plenty of time to say " you're getting low" and invite you to re order. I've found it works perfectly , especially with multiple drugs running out at different times each month.
Nanny Beach. I would definitely go to a different pharmacy. The staff in our local one are as you describe so I won't use it. Assuming your GP sends prescriptions digitally to pharmacy it will be there in minutes and should be available next day. 7 days from request to availability is ridiculous.
We can request repeat prescriptions from our GP online without having to register. That may be worth investigating as you will then know that the request has gone through and you won't have to make multiple phone calls.
I use our local Boots pharmacy to manage my repeat prescriptions ... have done for several years.
They text me when my next lot are in ... when I pick them up I tell them when I’ll need my next lot and they re-order and text me when they’re in ... and so on.
If I’m going away and will need them earlier I let them know and they order accordingly. It goes as smooth as clockwork.
If the GP prescribes a new medicine or changes my prescription they communicate directly with the Boots pharmacy who text me.
It works like clockwork. 😊

We don't have a Lloyds or Boots near us unfortunately. I had rows with him back in the summer when I collected scripts for elderly neighbour. Course, the surgery has some blame, I put letters through the door myself, with Hubby, and they asked was a sure I had sent a request (in writing) so they have obviously lost them!!

I'd give them a call. Maybe they come from a central distribution centre? Worth a phone call?
A well-run pharmacy is a wondrous thing @pansyface As he has no work due to the cessation of anything in the entertainments industry, my son is currently employed by a local independent pharmacy to deliver prescriptions to the elderly, vulnerable and carehome residents. He delivers to some folk daily ... some weekly and some at longer intervals ... after a few months he has acquired a knowledge of some of the customers and was able to save one chap's life by noticing his sudden change in presentation ... son asked why he was still in his dressing gown after lunch ... chap said he didn't feel too good, he thought the tablets were upsetting him so he'd stopped taking them, but he had terrible pain in his leg ... son was worried and knowing that he lived alone he phoned pharmacist who realised that the chap had stopped taking his anti-clotting meds ... alerted GP who realised the leg pain could be a DVT and called ambulance ... it was a serious DVT ... poor old chap was in hospital for some weeks but on Monday he was back at home and son delivered meds to him again. The old chap thought he'd been in hospital with an upset tummy

Another option might be an online supplier like pharmacy2u.co.uk or other similar operations. I prefer to support a real world local pharmacy and we have one in our health centre building but with behavior like that I would switch.
These obnoxious prats should bear in mind that if a person is living alone, their abusive behaviour might be the only human contact that isolated person has.
