There is always the free delivery option as well. The overall store sometimes pisses me off because they often don't have simple things that the chain carries, or it sells out super fast.

Even when my doctors office called them they never got through either. Another thing is when I call to refill a prescription the medicine is always out of stock most of the time. This Pharmacy Is the worst. Always very long lines when you go to pickup. They will also call you at home tell you prescription is ready for pickup, and when you get their it has not even been filled yet.

You see the…read moreproblems that all of these pharmacies face with everything locked up and no staff that a 2 minute errand becomes 10. While I think the staff here sometimes could be more attentive, it's not their fault there's maybe 2 employees manning the whole store. I did go here a lot, and what pissed me off the most were the times that the line was at least 6 people deep, one poor guy is at the register doing his best, and the manager is just casually doing inventory 2 aisles over. I've also seen her reprimand employees in similar impossible situations instead of stepping up and manning another register herself. This is a bad pharmacy and that's mostly because of corporate bs, but that doesn't mean they should be THIS bad, and the manager should be a better leader instead of dumping on the employees who are trying their best for the most part.

I was really pleased with the efficiency and friendliness of this small, no-frills pharmacy located at Kingston/Fulton in the heart of BedStuy. The pharamcist was really sweet, explained things very clearly to me, and aside from helping me with my prescriptions (free antibiotics when you can't afford them?! this is what medical care should look like!), he directed me to some over the counter medication to help my cough. I only waited TEN minutes to have my prescriptions filled - incredible. I definitely recommend this pharmacy. Along with the fact that they work with the BFC, they are polite and kind, and very basic. When I told the doctor that I already had at home the cough medicine he recommended (Mucinex - SERIOUSLY effective stuff), he didn't try to sell me anything else or upsell me or anything like that - he just told me good, he hoped I felt better soon. Aww. I pretty much love my new neighborhood. Bed Stuy or GTFO! :D
