986 Pharmacy

Some of the employees here seem REALLY fed up with customers at this store. That's including the…read morecustomers that they & their store are DEPENDENT on for the revenue that ultimately pays their individual INCOME. I'm sure they have been through a lot at this location, which I definitely take into consideration, but I don't think that means that low quality customer treatment is now acceptable (across multiple visits). I waited for them to come take a cheap item I needed out of the locked cages (that every item is in now), and when they did, instead of handing me the 5 dollar item, they insisted that they would take it up to the front where it would be waiting for me. After waiting in a long line, my item was not at the front.. So I just checked out without it. As I was leaving, an employee came up to me with the item I needed and acted like I was being an inconvenience. I went back and purchased the item only to find out that I missed out on a discount that I would have gotten if I'd have purchased it with my other items. I couldn't care less about the discount - ha, but it's just the principle of the situation and how the employees I dealt with could obviously care less. And this has been a re-occurring vibe at this store. Not to mention that the store's inventory has not been very great either.. ALTHOUGH, it is true that you never-ever know what people might be dealing with in their lives... --which is why I gave a 2 star rating instead of 1 star.

This is a difficult CVS to review as there is a lot of shenanigans from the unhoused just outside…read morethe door. But it's a good CVS, the employees are nice and helpful. This one is good if you're staying in the area or need something in a pinch.

He looked our order up and proceeded to print right away. Moises let us know how long it would take and would periodically check in to let us know how much longer. He later had to go on break and let me know another person would be finishing up the transaction. He informed his coworker the details of our transaction and that we already paid. When he got back from break, he again checked on us and our order. He explained their printer got stuck and only 30 of 40 printed. He gave us a couple of options on how to proceed--- if we would like a partial refund or if we wanted to wait for them to fix the printer and reprint. We opt for the partial refund. Moises provided us one of the best customer experience we've had at Walgreens. He was sincere in his apologies, extremely attentive, articulate and helpful. Great job Moises!

Always shop local if possible! Plus, the customer service here far exceeds ANY AND ALL of the CVS pharmacies I've ever been too! Tamir takes care to follow the myriad rules regulating the industry (obviously), while also taking the time and energy to cater to my individual needs. He's never left me without medicine that I need regardless of the circumstances, which is way more that I can say about CVS. Coincidentally, Tamir was also a patient of my doctor and so he could read his especially messy hand writing and never refused to fill a script because it was too hard too read- another thing I can't say for CVS. Save the time, frustration and inconvenience of getting your prescriptions filled at the big chains like CVS and make the switch to your local pharmacy like I did! You won't regret it!!!

They said they were sending hardcopy mail, but they were sending it to the wrong address.

We received a call months ago to correct the address and ensure that the bills were properly processed. For some reason they were not able to get the mail to the appropriate address. This resulted in hundreds of dollars in late copayments being due at once. Only after calling back twice to speak to the manager, Sylvia, was it explained that they made an error and should not have blocked the refill of the medications. Sylvia also offered to split up the payments which was not offered by the billing department. It seems that only Sylvia the manager seems to know what is going on.
