The customer service is abysmal and shocking
The manners of these people are appalling
Don't give right prescription and will let you travel all the way back home without saying anything
Dont give correct amount of prescription
Honestly don't know how they still have their license
I'm going today after being yet again unable to have my call answered to correct the rest of my prescription as they have managed YET AGAIN to do it wrong and not give correct amount, I

Used one time. Never again. Bad Manners of Pharmacist. Had to wait a week for them to provide prescription. Customer are left waiting a very long time. This lot just don't have a clue. Best Pharmacy in Derry is Sweeny Chemist. Next best is MacCafferty. But Murphy's are definitely the worse by far.
