Usually 'the' would refer to a particular chemist, etc., but sometimes is used in instructions to mean whichever chemist is applicable e.g. 'take this prescription to the chemist and get the medicine' - it could be any chemist. It is equally correct to say ''take this prescription to a chemist and get the medicine".

You may use both 'at' and 'in', depending on the context:
'She bought it at the chemist's'.
'I work in a chemist'.
'I'm in the drugstore' (emphasizing you are inside the store, not outside).
Here's an example from Cambridge Dictionary:
'Jane was a pharmacist in a chemist's in a small town'.
