~Disappointing Response from CVS Manager to Their Solicited Survey - May 2, 2025 Dear Amanda, Thank you for your reply. To clarify, the 10-20 minute timeframe is not the central issue of my feedback. My concern lies specifically with the level of customer service I received. Could you please specify which line you are referring to? As I mentioned in my previous email, I was able to speak to a gentleman. My complaint is that instead of your associate walking me to the item I was looking for, which was less than 60 seconds away, they simply pointed. Furthermore, your employee did not inform me about a separate line for customers waiting in the photo department. As you rightly pointed out, I cannot read minds. If you did indeed review the CCTV footage, you would have seen your "trained associate" pointing instead of escorting me to the correct area, despite appearing to be free at the time. As an Area Manager in retail myself, I find your email and its implication that I am being dishonest to be inappropriate and not reflective of a General Manager's attitude towards customer feedback. Adding to my previous point, if my experience was as you described, why was an email survey sent to me soliciting feedback on my visit? I look forward to your clarification on the "line" you mentioned and a more direct response to the core issues I raised regarding the customer service I experienced. On Fri, May 2, 2025 at 10:49AM Amanda Dear Ivo, Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience at CVS Pharmacy on May 01, 2025. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. I've personally reviewed your feedback regarding your comments. Although I solely do apologize for the bitter encounter. I have reviewed cctv footage and had discussions with associates present 5/1/25. I see that you were only in our store for 10 mins from the moment of entrance to the time of purchase. Yes, both my associates were assisting customers at the registers and photo department. If you seeked more acknowledgment looking for the item, might have you waited in line with the other guests to receive the proper customer service you would have wanted. I do appreciate your transparency about the entire encounter. I will be working with my team to make better efforts in the future. We are working with our warehouse to spike up the quantity of NUERO mints in stock. It may take some time due to the fact that this product is extremely popular. We appreciate your business. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Amanda, STORE MANAGER Review for CVS - Duarte Location May 1 , 2025 I went out of my way to visit the Duarte CVS, since my local store was out of stock on Neuro Mints. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. There were only two associates working, both stationed behind the register, even though there wasn't a line. When I asked the male associate if he could help me locate the Neuro Mints and explained they were sold out at other nearby stores, he just pointed vaguely toward an aisle and said, "It's over there, and if you don't see it, it's probably sold out." That was the extent of his assistance. No effort to walk me to the section, check inventory, or offer any real customer service. It ended up taking me 20 minutes to locate the product myself. Had he taken just a minute to assist me properly, I would be writing a very different review--likely 10/10. Instead, I was met with a lack of care and a poor attitude. Both employees looked overwhelmed and disengaged, even though there were only two customers in the store at the time. It's sad to witness the decline in service standards, especially when proper training and a little effort could make such a difference. I'm not happy to write this review, but I'm doing so in the spirit of transparency and hoping it helps improve future customer experiences.

Card didn't cut right

This review for the photos section. I always order Christmas cards here. But this year they did a bad job on cutting the cards. Made it look like the kids did the work, so not straight . Through it all

My receipt hopefully leads to the female who helped me today. She was amazing!! All Employees should be like her.

The staff is always friendly, and am always greeted when I walk in, I do agree the interior needs remodeling, looks a bit outdated.

I used the drive through to receive my medication yesterday and everything went fine until the…read moreDoctor came to the window to tell me how the medication was to be taken. She was speaking very fast and when I tried to ask her to slow down she continued to talk over me and even faster. It was like trying to communicate with a 16 year old girl. This has never happened to me at a pharmacy ever. It was as if she was only telling me the instructions because she had to. After she finished she told me everything she said was on the bottle. She also never iterated that I should spread out the two pills I'd be taking daily. I proceeded to read the instructions but still managed to take the medication wrong. I believe it was because of this incident. This was unprofessional as we are talking about medication here. I then called to ask if how I took the medication was ok and I know I the call was answered by the same woman doctor. She had no answer for me and again was rushing the conversation. Rather that she needed to call my doctor? This has never happened to me before. I believe a Pharmacist doctor should know the answer to these kinds of simple questions. She told me she would need to call my doctor and call me back. She did call back with decent news which was great. My only advise here is no matter how busy somewhere gets that the pharmacists take their job more seriously and take time in explaining how medication should be consumed properly. Also, it is unhealthy for her to be moving or talking that fast. No one should have to receive their medication this way!

Extremely disappointed in the service that we received here. Came on a Wednesday evening with my…read morefriend for his passport photo, as Walgreens offers a free digital copy with purchase of a printed copy. There was no line, so the store associate took his photo and uploaded it to their system. After, we inquired about the free digital copy (which was advertised on the Walgreens website as well as on the signage in store), the associate said they had never heard about it. He eventually reached out to a coworker who confirmed that the free digital copy was in fact a valid offer. Once my friend paid for his photos, he checked his email as the photos are supposed to be emailed upon purchase. Unfortunately they were never delivered, so we asked the store associate if there is anything he could do. He did little to look for alternatives and simply stated that it was not possible to get into the system to resend. The printed photos weren't the best quality (the background appeared a bit gray) so even when uploaded to the passport site, the photo was disapproved. If you are looking to get new passport photos, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere.

UNACCEPTABLE COMMUNICATION & DENIAL OF PHARMACIST ACCESS…read more I attempted to reach a pharmacist via phone, but I was explicitly told by the front desk that the pharmacists "requested not to be forwarded calls anymore." My multiple voicemails, regarding my medication, went completely ignored. This is not just a customer service issue; it is a violation of California Code of Regulations (Title 16, § 1707.2), which mandates a pharmacist's duty to consult. By blocking phone access, this location is choosing convenience over patient safety and ethics. This pharmacy invites medical malpractice and professional misconduct claims. PATIENT RIGHTS: IF YOU HAVE BEEN IGNORED If you have been harmed by this pharmacy's lack of communication, know your rights under California law: THE 10-MINUTE RULE: A pharmacist must be available to speak to you within an average of 10 minutes. ONE-HOUR CALLBACK: If they cannot talk immediately, they must schedule a return call within one business hour. RIGHT TO CONSULT: Patients have an absolute right to an oral consultation "in all settings," including over the phone. If they fail to meet these standards, they can be reported to the California Board of Pharmacy. If their refusal to communicate leads to a medical error, you may be entitled to compensation for professional negligence. ---------- HOW TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE CALIFORNIA BOARD OF PHARMACY: It takes 3 minutes to hold this CVS legally accountable: Go to the the California Board of Pharmacy website at www.pharmacy.ca.gov Locate the Form: Click on "Consumers" and then select "File a Complaint". You can fill out the form online instantly. Provide the Details: Pharmacy Name: CVS Pharmacy #09689. Address: 950 W Foothill Blvd, Monrovia, CA 91016. The Violation: Specifically cite CCR § 1707.2 (Duty to Consult) and mention that your voicemails were not returned or front staff refused to connect you to a pharmacist. ------------ I have moved my prescriptions elsewhere. WHERE TO GO INSTEAD AMAZON PHARMACY: They offer free home delivery and an "RxPass" that is often cheaper than insurance copays. To switch, just hit "transfer" in their app. VONS PHARMACY (Monrovia): Located on Foothill. It is much quieter, and the pharmacists actually communicate with patients. PAVILIONS PHARMACY (Arcadia): Offers a professional, calm atmosphere with a focus on service. PAX PHARMACY (Duarte): They answer the phone immediately and often provide free local delivery because they value your business.

Please note: I've been a customer at this location since 2020 (photo evidence attached). However,…read moreI seldom write reviews. Good or bad. Over the years I've come to depend on the professionalism and care the staff provides at this location. True compassion amongst the entire staff and pharmacy. In the midst of the current Los Angeles labor strikes, I wanted to do my SMALL part in supporting our quaint township. Therefore, any positive review I provided this CVS would be incomplete without mentioning Darleen. Over the years, I've noticed the attentiveness and humanity she displays to customers...even under pressure. She is truly a pillar of our community and for that reason I say thanks! FIVE STARS
