CVS Pharmacy has honestly become very hit or miss lately, and I say that as someone who has visited…read moremultiple locations over time trying to give the experience another chance. The biggest issue for me is consistency. Almost every time I walk into a CVS, I struggle to find the item I came in for because the shelves are either partially stocked, completely empty in certain sections, or the inventory system says something is available when it actually isn't. At times, it genuinely feels like the stores are just being maintained rather than actively improved or fully supported operationally. And unfortunately, the customer service experience often reflects that same energy. It's rare that I walk into a CVS location and encounter employees who seem genuinely happy, supported, or engaged. I'm not even saying that critically toward the staff themselves because honestly, it feels bigger than individual employees. It feels like there may be pressure from corporate expectations, staffing shortages, impossible metrics, burnout, or operational stress that eventually trickles down into the customer experience. But customers feel it. The worst experiences I've personally had tend to happen at the pharmacy counters, where interactions can sometimes come across rushed, cold, dismissive, or lacking empathy altogether. And when someone is already stressed, sick, or simply trying to locate an item they need, that type of environment makes the experience even more frustrating. My most recent visit was honestly simple: I walked in looking for a specific item and couldn't find it. But what stood out wasn't just the missing product -- it was the overall atmosphere. The store felt disconnected from the actual customer experience. Retail today is competitive, and customers notice when businesses stop feeling welcoming or fully functional. I've left positive reviews for many businesses because I believe in recognizing good service when it's deserved. I also understand retail is difficult right now. But I also believe companies need to revisit employee support, staffing, inventory management, and customer service culture because people absolutely notice when those things decline. At the end of the day, customers don't expect perfection. They just want to feel helped, acknowledged, and able to find what they came in for.

I'm there maybe 5 minutes and all of a sudden the shudders start coming down and a small older lady appears and says "we are closed". I said, I was standing in line already. She responds very rudely and says "well what do you need!?" So I say, "there is no need for attitude, I was in line." I tell her that I needed a Plan B. She then says very loudly (now I'm not embarrassed to buy plan B) "Plan B!? Do you have a prescription!?" Now I didn't even know you could get it prescribed but that's another question for another time. But I told her that I do not. "She then says "you have to ask Target for Plan B. We don't have it." I then found the contraception aisle and it was there. All this terrible woman had to say was "oh it's in that aisle right there next to the pharmacy". Not to mention"go ask Target". Terrible customer service. What if I had been some teenage girl who needed the medication because she made a mistake or god forbid was raped!? Would she talk to the girl like that? My step daughter is 18 and I would lose my shit if she came home and told me she was treated like this. I will be moving all of my pharmacy needs from CVS because this interaction was absolutely absurd and her attitude was unwarranted. If I could give zero stars I would.

It has happened a number of times over the years, doesn't matter what time of afternoon or early evening. Latest instance was on Friday, 8/16/24 at 4:10 PM. We had dropped by to get a couple of 16 Mixed Piece buckets, but they were out of chicken so we had to wait about 25 minutes. So, we walked around the store to get our other groceries and then picked up the 2 buckets of freshly fried chicken. Waiting for it wasn't that big of an issue. Just the fact that the cook wasn't scheduled to be there until 5:00 PM, as mentioned by the employees, and they were totally out of chicken with other customers waiting to buy some as well. Anyway, finding other bread, milk, chips and Sodas were no problem at the store. Good experience browsing around and going through the self-checkout process. Parking was fine as well. Safeway needs to do something about hiring more people to work the deli and hot foods corner. Gotta do something about the schedule to make it more convenient for the customers and workers.

On Thursday 5.24.21 I purchased multiple disposable vapes on Thursday including a Rare Mega 5000 puff Hawaiian Freeze unit for about $30 from Tom. He was quite helpful and kind. I tested in store as they ask and all units worked appropriately. I didn't start using the RARE unit until Monday 6.28.21 and I don't use vapes during the work hours (9-6) so I've only really used it for a few hours. This evening I went to use the unit and after approximately 10 minutes, it failed to work. I called the store to advise them of the issue. I reached Tom again who was very nice and said that he would need to call the manager to discuss. I advised I would come into the store as I was in the neighborhood. When I went into the store Tom advised me that the manager, Stephanie, said that there was "nothing they could do". I very much understand protocol and rules. I also think that reason and logic has to come into play when dealing in that type of industry. They know when I bought the device. They know that I've been a frequent customer recently. They know that sometimes devices are faulty and this was an expensive device. I am guessing they know that I've also never complained about a purchase. They could have done better and should have. Customer service is an art and some people just don't have the ability to create. I won't be using them any time soon and you probably should either.
