I wouldn't go that far, but Boots do seem to have a odd mix of store fit outs these days.
I've seen a couple which have a major refit in a modern style, a couple which have received some new interior signage with a lick of paint, but most seem to be in the older 2000s style. The very largest stores have huge banks of self checkouts, but smaller stores often have long queues at poorly staffed standard checkouts.
There also seem to be a few which are 1990s fit out or perhaps even earlier - see Sheffield The Moor as an example. It's not been very well adapted for today's requirements - there are holders for gift cards stapled on the wall behind the tills, temporary looking click and collect roll cages, and it all looks very worse for wear.
It's a shame as I think the latest store fit out looks pretty good and these oldest stores really do look out of place now.
