Dischem works for me. So i use them. I've got more problems to worry about than why i shouldn't use this pharmacy or that one.

I sometimes get something i need from Clicks too but not often.
 
Clicks, but more and more I am moving across to Checkers. They have their own pharmacy chain that seems to be going well.

Although PNP pharmacy for medicine is great. I get prescription rather from there.

I had an issue with one Clicks twice where they tried to bill my medical aid, for medicine I paid cash for. My medical aid contacted me then rejected it.

And then another time where R200 of medicine suddenly was billed as R12 000 to my medical aid. Oops we mistyped. The same Clicks.
 
Dischem has the meds whereas Clicks more of than not doesn’t have stock of one or two required medication.

Isn't this standard practice though?
Even though you are paying cash they try medical aid as sometimes meds are covered under chronic benefits (asthma pump, etc) and even if it rejected, the medical expenses are logged for tax reasons.
