At a pharmacy in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, it is controversial because it did not listen to consumers' requests for refunds while taking profit by selling masks and headache medicines at high prices.
According to the Yuseong-gu Office today (4th), 8 complaints have been received so far, claiming that 'the pharmacy is selling masks, bandages, hangover cures, and headache medicines for 50,000 won each.
It was found that three complaints with the same contents were also received by the Daejeon City Pharmacists Association.
One complainant said, "I handed the card to the pharmacist to buy a mask, but I was shocked to receive a text message stating that 50,000 won was paid."
Another complainant complained, "I bought 3 bottles of hangover cure, but the pharmacist paid 150,000 won."
Pharmacist A at the pharmacy is known to have shown an attitude such as unplugging all card payment machines or taking legal action when a refund request is received.
This pharmacy opened on the 24th of last month, and it is said that only ten business days have passed.
Person A said, "It is a situation where we have no choice but to leave a margin on over-the-counter drugs because we do not deal with prescription drugs." He argued, "It is not illegal because pharmacies have adhered to the 'seller price labeling system', which allows pharmacies to autonomously determine and sell over-the-counter drugs." .
Also, regarding non-response to the refund request, he countered, "We do not provide refunds on site, but we are announcing a 'refund guide' where you can legally receive a refund."
An official from Yuseong-gu Office said, "There is no upper limit on product price, so there is no administrative action for Mr. I did.
Meanwhile, the police, who have received consumer complaints, are examining whether to apply fraudulent charges against Mr.
Before opening a pharmacy in Yuseong-gu, it was confirmed that Mr. A was arrested and charged with fraud at the Sejong Southern Police Station by selling medicines in the same way in Sejong City.
