Looking to switch from Walmart pharmacy to Shoppers (self.buycanadian)

I'd like to move all my business away from Walmart, and their pharmacy is one service we use often.

While I know there are "lesser evils" than Shoppers, they are walking distance away, and that's important to me.

Can anyone share their experience with Shoppers for their pharmacy, and even better would be from anyone who's switched from Walmart Pharmacy to Shoppers.

Thanks in advance.

Update: Thanks for all the input, guys! I ended up going with a local pharmacy. The dispensing fee is about $1 more than Walmart, but they offer free local delivery if I can't get to them, and the person I spoke to was super nice about answering my questions. Sounds like I dodged a bullet by not going with shoppers. LOL

Our local shoppers pharmacy billed our insurer for medicines we didn't pickup. We switched to a closer pharmacy, but shoppers decided to fill the prescriptions anyway and bill them. Took me a few months to realize, but reported it to the insurer since it was fraud. And it would count against insurance payouts at our desired place.
