I'll be honest and say my first experience was fine, understanding I couldn't enter the building whilst I pet was put to rest. Then I go to collect, I'm partially deaf and heard "I'll collect it" when the woman returned I said admittedly abruptly "I hope you said her vs it" where she laughed and said "yeah sorry" I called after that as she then shut the door, to get rude service, told I'm very rude and transferred in mid sentence. Not what you want experience wise, I admitted to her on the phone I'm hard of hearing so just wanted to clarify the situation but was met with a very poor attitude. Not happy as there isn't much choice on the island vet wise and their job is meant to be a caring one which, they didn't meet the standard of today.
