I have just bought the stuff from boots, but I have to say that the staff were appalling!
in my local store the HCA was very honest and said 'its been so long since I did the course, I cant remember much, but I'll help you as much as I can...' as I was going to another town later that day I asked her to check if anyone there was trained so I could get the initial info off them, and buy the packs from my local store.
they rang ahead and yes someone was trained...
omg, it was emabrrassing, she had no idea about the diet at all, kept saying how discusting it all tasted (having sone lipotrim before I had no qualms about flavour, to be honest, barely palatable is best as it stops you wanting more of the shakes).
she basically refused to weigh and measure me as it was too complicated, so she asked a pharmacist (who hadn't even done the TF course) to weigh and measure me, I found out the HCA did not know how to do the BMI on a calculator - DOH! (after someone has gone throught it with you once this really is a no brainer!) in the end even the pharm measured and weighed me with my shoes and coat on! (guess who's gonna have a great first weigh in! lol)
at the end of the torture, I mean consultation, i asked about the training and support that is offered, and she just said, oh yeah you get all that too, and I asked how I logged on to the website, there must be a password or member number or something, otherwise just anyone could log on, and she scratched her head for several minutes before presenting me with a pink card with a number on.
no follow up appt was made, no advice, no good luck, just an apology for being useless, yes, she actually apologised for being useless.
so I now have all the gear and no idea! lol time to get reading of the book.
I'd be interested in hearing others stories of how there local store is.
happy New Year to all,
