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

I switched from Shoppers to Pharmasave, mainly because a branch opened up right down the street from me and was therefore closer than Shoppers. But I'm super happy I did so. I'm on a first name basis with the pharmacist and he's really good. I bring in an empty and he's got it refilled in like a minute and a half. And when I had problems with an insurance claim for a prescription, he actually called the company for me and sorted it out.
