    I came here to grab personal care and household items. The store was very clean and wasn't busy--…read moremost likely because it was early in the morning which was a plus. The workers were helpful when needed to unlock the items.

    I had run out of some head cold medicine and knew that CVS would have some. I came in hopes of…read moremaking it a quick stop and be back on my way. But all good intentions and all... The cold medicine I needed was one that you had to grab a card from the shelf and head to the pharmacy counter to purchase. Basically a controlled substance even though it is over-the-counter. With that card in hand I made my way to what I thought was a short line. Until I saw that it started back the aisle. I make my way to the end of the line and patiently wait my turn. As patiently as I can with my head feeling like it was in a vice grip. They kept allowing people that had walked up to the drop off area to just get in line ahead of all of us in line. Slowly I made my way to the counter and handed the card over. The staff asked me if they didn't have the exact one I handed over would I take the comparable one. Of course I would, I needed it for sure. Of course, the one I brought up, they did not have. The other was the brand name and cost more, but I was gladly going to purchase. Would be easier if you could bypass at least one portion of this. The line, the guessing which one is in stock, the wait.

    I got my passport photo done here. I swear it looks like a mug shot. It cost way too much $18.00…read more I guess it's because they send you a digital copy. Other times I go in here it looks way under stocked and under staffed.

    I would say that most of the time when I go to Walgreens on Annapolis road in Bowie, it's a royal…read morepain in my ass. Too much of the time the staff is rude and unprofessional and there doesn't seem to be any attempt at politeness. The wait for prescriptions can be frustrating and don't get me started on the vaccines. This morning, at 11:36, I spoke with a woman in the pharmacy about a specific medication. I asked when it would be ready. For some reason she made it more complicated by telling me they rejected the refill from my doc and they don't have it. I have one more day of this medication and have been getting conflicting text messages from them about it. She proceeded to tell me that they have different dosage that would be ready tomorrow at 5. I previously told her that currently I take 37.5 and take 2. So she repeats herself with a tone and finishes with, "that is what I'M saying". Ok, so we're on the same page then? I know, math is hard. I feel that the communication is poor there. I either can't understand what they are saying because of speech, or they have trouble understanding a simple request. Walgreens, hire more competent and polite people and pay them better. Maybe that's why most if not all the staff look, act and sound miserable.

    I don't have any complaints, Walmart always comes through in a clutch with my last minute needs. I…read morewill say for this location, I only go for small incidentals. The store overall is a bit cluttered and not the most organized. However, for what I need, I'm always in and out. I came last minute for some feminine products and nail clippers ..the online product locator does not always match the layout of the store so be mindful of that. As I'm looking for my nail clipper, I came across some Dr. teals products I never knew I needed...so again, no complaints from me Wallyworld! The self check out is a bit weird, as far as how to get there. It almost felt like I was leaving store with products in my hands but then I was able to find the self check out entrance.

    I attempted to do a return and spoke to cashier Pauline to directed me to someone who could assist…read moreme as it was 8:50p 5/3/26 Although there was no posting of time, the African / Carribbean female manager on duty refused to assist me or to provide me with a resolution as she was "doing something that required her time" it's unfortunate that me, a customer, wasn't something that required her time. As I am aware that every register can process returns, I asked how much time she needed to prioritize her tasks and I would be happy to wait. She then informed me that she was not going to argue with me and proceeded to walk away and continue her work behind a closed door. After closing the door in my face, without a resolution, I decided to write this review and look forward to formal store and district management to give me a call. This is awful service

    With all the people they have back in that pharmacy you would think service would be better than…read morewhat it is, they have that I don't give a dam attitude knowing some people come in there not feeling well they will drag azz filling presciptions with about 6 techs back there. Every time I go there someone is always at the counter complaining about their prescription. They are good for texting for prescription pickup, then you get home they texting you that same day for pickup then they be rude on top of that.

    The customer service at this location is abysmal. I am likely filling my last prescription here…read more Over the past 3-4 years, it is hit or miss if they have medication you need on hand. It is hit or miss if they will have your prescription filled after CVS sends a text stating your prescription is ready for pick up. I am not talking anything extravagant, it can be vitamin or pain pills. They are often flippant in their responses with little to no regard for the customers medical need. My doctors have had to call multiple times to get my prescription filled. Explanations have ranged from a safe that could not be unlocked for days to trucks not delivering medication for days. Today, i was told the truck did not deliver the medication. There have been several times I have been told my presecription was not ready by staff and the pharmacist intervened, handing them my medication from the lettered bin. I understand different cultures have varying ideas of what decent customer service is however, CVS should train their employees and ensure they meet CVS standards. Previous pharmacists have tried to improve the customer experience, but they soon left. This is a convenient CVS with a drive-thru which probably helps retain disappointed customers. After my prescription is filled, I will find a new location or a new company. I now have a better understanding as to why Amazon and Walmart are successful in this industry. Good luck if you try this location. Be sure to pack plenty of patience and I hope you get your meds on your first visit. Update on 8/10/2025: Received text from CVS to pick up script and gave them a couple of days to actually fill it. Arrived to the drive-thru today, 20 minutes before the pharmacy closed. The gate was pulled down though the lights were on. After several minutes of waiting, a female voice said the drive-thru was closed and that I had to come inside to the pharmacy. I went inside and paid for my prescription. I asked if the syringes were included/in the bag. I was told no. I then showed my prescription to the cashier which reads, "Inject 1 mL into muscle" and asked where the syringes are that I needed for this prescription. The cashier asked a woman in the pharmacy and came back to the cash register and rang up a bag of syringes. I sent pictures to a medical doctor to confirm the syringes were the incorrect type because the bag of syringes was marked for subcutaneous injection of insulin. The doctor was appalled, stating that pharmacy personnel should be able to get the correct syringe and if not, they should have asked the pharmacist. So I will return them to a different CVS pharmacy tomorrow with the hope of getting the correct syringes. Tomorrow will be the 3rd trip to CVS to get what is needed for one prescription. Avoid the pharmacy at 8601 Martin Luther King Jr Hwy, Lanham, MD 20706 at all cost. The concerns go far beyond exceptionally poor customer service. Go to a company or different CVS thay values their customer and has general concern for their health. The personnel at this location are not "customer obsessed" nor are they "committed to help people on their path to better health" as the CVS website suggests.
