My Boss told us on Friday he has sold the shop. 
This is my third place where the owners have sold up. This is the third owner to also say 'Nothing will change- your contract will continue'
Trying to be positive, we've been told it is at least a young couple buying and not a chain. They are moving into the area so 'need us' to keep the transition for the local patients and surgeries.
Down side is- it is a young 'couple'. There is nothing worse than working for 2 bosses.
They are not local and I can see repercussions because they are of Iraqi descendant (very common in Pharmacy). I can see our very elderly clients being racialist (this is a military area- tankies are only down the road!) and we (staff) will be the buffer.
I feel a bit bitter that my boss was told not to tell us (staff) until contracts had been signed by his solicitors- I object to being treated as a part of 'the good will' or fixtures & fittings- like being a wife back in the Army
I do understand that it was likely to happen eventually- just I thought we were a good enough team for him to have let us know. After all I'm not going anywhere else- this job is what I want to do.
Going to miss that team - he was a really good boss to me
