    Hidden in an enclave on a main road, next to the ill-fated UMNO Keris building, site of a long string of unfortunate events (as predicted by Feng Shui masters), lies this opportunistic pharmacy. The store faces the historic building commemorating the Overseas Chinese heart of Sun Yat Sen's democratic struggles against imperialism and feudalism, ironically next to not one, but two muted Chinese presses, decapitated from their ideals, proudly plying their sensational stories of gore and squalor, distracting the barely literate from the oppression by the local corrupt regime that continues to trample the working class, whilst in the midst of clear and present danger of increasing racial bigotry marching to the tune of Islamist fundamentalism at the Federal level. The pharmacy displayed a fresh decor with over enthusiastic shop assistants bordering on "kay po chi"(nosey). Prices were not more attractive than Guardian, and nowhere even near the low everyday prices offered by AA pharmacy in Bangsar, KL. Penangites continue to struggle with low incomes in a never-ending inflationary environment. A stroll round the corner on Lorong Selamat finds one face to face with rampant profiteering with the Char Koay Teow duopoly offering barely legal RM10 per serving. A revisit found a dismissive and arrogant young female pharmacist too busy to serve or speak at the counter.

    I wasn't aware that George Town Pharmacy is affiliated with Caring Pharmacy until I noticed this banner. Now that you and I are aware, you can utilize the Caring Membership App at this pharmacy to accumulate points with your purchases.

😠 The building is astounding, doctors are professional, but too bad lots of nurse have bad attitude and rude to patient. They did me dirty with the behaviour. You really should train your staff not to be rude to patients, considering the patients are already suffered with illness.

😠 All staff are so helpfull and being nice to customers except one Chinese Old Lady ( Supervisor). She is really bad service and always show her black face every day! Honestly speaking, I really don't wish to see her face when I make a payment!
