A common concern cited about large retail pharmacy and beauty chains is the in-store experience, particularly at busier locations. Queue times, especially at pharmacy counters, are frequently mentioned as a frustration. Pharmacies in busy shopping centres during peak hours can see waits of 15–30 minutes, which is a significant inconvenience for shoppers with simple prescription needs.
Staffing levels in the beauty aisles can also be inconsistent — some shoppers report helpful, knowledgeable floor staff while others describe difficulty finding assistance.
Online shopping and delivery has improved significantly across most SA health retailers, but delivery turnaround times and occasional stock discrepancies between the website and physical stores can still frustrate customers.
Clicks' physical store experience is inconsistent across locations, with larger or busier stores often receiving lower satisfaction scores from shoppers who encounter queuing, out-of-stock issues, or limited service. Smaller or newer Clicks locations tend to receive more positive feedback.
