Rude receptionist ruins patient's medical experience

The receptionist's service at this surgery was absolutely terrible today. I scheduled a same-day blood test appointment just an hour ahead, but the receptionist neglected to inform me that it required fasting and should have been booked for a different day. Additionally, they failed to mention that the blood test was actually scheduled at another location. I mistakenly arrived at this surgery, feeling like I was at fault for the confusion. One receptionist was visibly in a foul mood, sitting with her hand on her cheek looking sullen. She initially told my family member they couldn't get a repeat prescription at this surgery, but then abruptly changed her stance and instructed me to complete the form for my family member. My family member is perfectly capable of handling this independently! The phone system constantly plays an automated message about the NHS and surgery's zero-tolerance policy for patient abuse, yet ironically, some of their own staff desperately need customer service training. This particular receptionist was consistently unhelpful and unprofessional. Having been a patient here for nearly two decades, I'm deeply disappointed to see the surgery's standards deteriorate, particularly in their front-of-house staff.
