Report
Con artists and unhelpful people! The women on the counter is not trained properly very vocal and very unhelpful. I went in to get something to help me sleep but they ended up selling me some herbal stuff that did not work and charged me a lot for it! They have also lost my prescription on many occasions! STAY AWAY you have been warned.
