St. James Arcade

The ever worst experience with JP. after asking to certify some documents for me the guy just said " I don't want to do it, I can refuse it" not sure why the JP service is on that website if the JP is not willing to help

One of the kindest people I have ever met, Nice and patient! The T-shirt with chemical elements table really suits his profession of Pharmacist.

Got to the pharmacy just at opening. The owner hadn't even had time to open up properly but he invited me in and certified my documents for me. kind, courteous and genuine.

I have been going to this Pharmacy for the past three years and I have been very impressed with the level of service and how helpful the JP is. I find the comment below very strange as the owner has been a great character and exceptionally friendly on every occasion, everyone I have recommended to go there has come back with positive feedback.

I'd like to respond to the person who left a review and basically called the the owner at St James Pharmacy racist. I can assure you that there is absolutely no-one that works in that Pharmacy that is racist. I too am not racist and would not automatically assume that the reason that someone may or may not have been rude (your description) to me was due to race or gender etc. I do not think the problem was that you are black - I know the owners at that Pharmacy as I have been getting my medication there for a great many years. I think the problem was your attitude judging by that coming through in your writing which automatically made me defensive and therefore I can imagine, in person, that it might have the same effect on the owners of the Pharmacy. People make mistakes. I only know of one human that is perfect and that was Jesus (whether you believe in him or not - if not, then there is no perfect human) and so I tend to assume that a mistake is just that, a mistake - not done intentionally and I do not blast someone for making an error which your purchase. I was not there the day that you visited and find it very hard to believe that either of the owners were rude to you without what they considered to be reason although I can't speak for your experience. I don't write this in order to start a full scale war, quite the opposite - I just think people should think long and hard about the attitudes and manner in which they conduct themselves and assess the situation thoroughly before tarnishing someone's reputation on the internet with assertions of racism. That's a serious accusation and one that once you made it, you probably felt better and moved on but I can assure you, that is an insult and not equal to the alleged crime. If you'd simply stated your review based on your experience, I would not have felt compelled to respond as I was not there however you made an unforgivable accusation against one of the nicest people I know, on the internet without any proof or evidence. That is defamation of character and far worse than anything he may or may not have done to you according to your account, regardless of your colour.
