Same as all the CVS's I have been to in 626. Down the street from the normal CVS I go to. Next door to Food 4 Less. They have propane exchange for $19.99. You can apply ExtraBucks savings to it to save some money! read more

Extremely frustrating experience with CVS Pharmacy. My prescription was transferred from one CVS to another specifically because this location confirmed they had the medication in stock. They received the transfer around 2 PM, and only after I followed up again at 5 PM was I told that it would not be filled today because they were "backed up." If I had been informed of this at 2 PM, I could have looked for another pharmacy instead of wasting hours waiting while dealing with a painful medical flare. To make matters worse, the pharmacist told me to call other CVS pharmacies myself to check stock availability (which I would have, had it not been 5PM). The pharmacists at Lower Azusa usually look up stock for you in other CVS locations. Patients should not be expected to perform inventory checks on their own, especially when in pain and trying to access prescribed medication. read more

Hire more employees or prioritize how to get these cabinets unlocked faster. Today, I had to walk out. Other days I've waited, but I was already upset by the time someone made it over to me. I don't like coming to this CVS. read more

The old lady was really rude towards us and started yelling at the other worker for no reason worst place ever.

Came here to pick up my prescription and the girl clerk was on her phone while a patient is in front of her, Unprofessional and rude.i wouldnt come here again and I also I addresse to the pharmacist and her answer is ok ok ok ok... that was it, what kind of manager is that, its common sense you would have to talk to the clerk thats a better customer service. Wouldn't come here again. There's other cvs is better service then this place. This place needs better management. If I can give them no stars i would unfortunately I had to put 1 star. read more

Left the dentist and came straight to cvs for my prescription once notified. Got here at 1:20pm and was told I have to wait until 2pm to be helped since they are closed for lunch. The sign says closed starting at 1:30pm until 2pm. I understand trying to extend their lunch break a bit but They honestly should've just handed me my meds real quick especially since it was before the posted time. read more

Don't go to this CVS if you're looking for any Hello Kitty merchandise!!!! I seen 2 Hello kitty plushies/blankets in the managers office and when i asked Manager ((if i remember correct)) Michelle (older lady with black hair) if they were selling those she stated "THEY'RE OURS!" with the a bad attitude. When I asked if they're allowed to purchase merchandise before CUSTOMERS she said "Yea, they are ours, we bought them!"! When i asked for her name because I was going to call Corporate to ask she gave me her name and with the worse attitude ever said.. "We can't sell them anyways... That's Valentines Merch!" I called corporate and they said it's up to each store if employees can purchase before customers. That manager was rude when when she was caught in a lie she made up another lie to cover her a$$! I'll take my prescriptions and money to the South El Monte CVS. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Lack of accountability and responsibility Bad business practices and management - Drugstores Near Me - El Monte, California

Man, I cant believe all the bad reviews here. Maybe because I have not been here in awhile. Usually its never so busy in here everytime I stopped by. It lies in a big shopping center with lots of parking. I stopped in here recently and it was kind of dead. Need more people working here. Some things were out of order in the store. But I love how the liquor cabinet is set up. I purchased everything I needed. But yeah, there service needs improving. read more

Getting thru to px is terrible now . It was never like this. Now it sends you to a voicemail. I know there is a way to bypass this. But this is terrible customer service read more

I am extremely upset with one of their pharmacist here at this location. My Dr had called in a refill for one of our patients and the pharmacist was extremely rude to my Dr over the phone. She kept asking him for his name to provide documentation in our patients chart and he kept ignoring her and would cut her off. He was not nice nor friendly at all. Remind you my Dr is really sick and can barely talk and is doing what she can for our patients. He eventually gave us his name which was Angel. This is very upsetting. Please do better! read more

Horrible experience time after time, I never learn my lesson with this store. I walk in to this location and head over to the shampoo section, I ring the bell bc everything in there seems to be locked up. I waited about 10 min and no one came by, finally I see a woman on the aisle next to mine opening the cases, I asked her politely if she could help me once she was available and said to give her a few moments. She came by fairly quickly but her attitude was so bad. Wouldn't look up at me and said they will be at the registers. I get in line same associate by the name of MICHELLE hopped on bc there was a long line. She called the next customer up and as soon as he starts speaking she realizes he speaks Spanish and starts YELLING I don't speak Spanish multiple times and then tells the customer YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR HER SHES W A CUSTOMER referring to her coworker The man was signaling what he needed it was a box from behind the counter I could tell what he needed- Michelle just refused to deal with him. So i interrupted the yelling and said I could translate oh wow how her attitude changed. I helped and that's that. She was extremely rude and should just try to help it's not like the man was making it hard for her. I don't like to see associates like this. Please someone call her out for her horrible behavior. read more

Horrible customer service. Why answer the phone at all if you're going to put us on hold for half an hour, and your sighs aren't silent. Get a different job if you hate working there so much... your customers shouldn't have to deal with your misery. read more

Reviews are bad for a reason. Pharmacy average wait times are 2 hours. I even asked if I could wait hoping that it would be expedited, but only response I got from Karla (pharmacy technician) was "you'll be waiting a few hours". This is a classic sign of a bad pharmacy. If you can help someone that is physically standing in front of you then you shouldn't be a pharmacy. read more

L went to get beer at this location and found what was to be a fair deal. However the beer I wanted had a yellow tag on it with the sales price. I went to the counter and a manager attended to me only to find out that the price his register gave him was 5$ more that the yellow tag read. I told him that there was a sign that stated it was on sale. He scanned the beer once more and told me it wasn't on sale. I wasn't going to overpay for beer by 25% more. Their sales price was the regular price that the supermarket next to it sold the same exact item. He wasn't very helpful at all. Needless to say I went to the store next door and purchased it there. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Poor service, and false advertising. - Drugstores Near Me - El Monte, California

This morning at about 8:12 am my aunt and I went to buy some makeup at the Garvey location in El Monte. As you know we had to call for assistance. Little did we know this Marisela or something she was called ( The poor cashier was too scared to tell me her name) came over to assist. Her attitude was horrendous and she was mean from the beginning to the end. She told us off and treated us like convicts. Something so wrong and terrifying as we never have experienced before at any store at any time given! She wouldn't answer any of the questions we asked, she yelled at us and Oh Man! that look like if she wanted to kill us! She's the scariest person! I can swear! I'll never set foot at that store in my entire life again. I will let everyone know about the abuse and treatment we were subjected to. If I was CVS I would fire her in a heartbeat. This type of people are the ones responsible for all those stores massively closing doors at this time ! Please change your bad employees and you'll see improvement! read more

So my daughter got lice! I rushed to CVS, it was late I usually go to Walgreens, CVS was open later and closer to me. Anyways, I'm in the pharmacy area looking for lice shampoo. I walk down all the isle , passing an employee who is stocking shelves on isle 16. I couldn't find it, so I circled back to the employee . I said "excuse me" and she just looked at me with an annoyed face, and didn't say anything. I asked, what isle is the lice shampoo, she responded isle 15, right on the other side. So I went around, looking closely at all the items. She then is on the same isle as me, sees me still searching, and doesn't offer any help. At this point, I was giving up, clearly it wasn't there. As I'm about to leave, I figured I'd look in the shampoo section, and there it was locked in a cabinet, so I press the red button to have it unlocked. The SAME employee walked up with the keys, and said " do you need something?". I was so frustrated at this point. I said yes, the lice shampoo that you said was on isle 15. She wasn't apologetic either. read more

So I was having an extremely hard time and then I went into the Southdale Money store, and I dealt with the manager Ray, and not only was a bit of breath of fresh air. He was leader lead helped the customer out, even though the store was busy and they looked shorthanded. He went above and beyond to make sure that the customer was taken care of meaning me, you guys need to hire more people like this and also there was a worker there named Joseph and he did an amazing job as well to his ability until Ray came in and just was a true example of a leader lead.. all right man thanks dude read more

Stay away from this CVS pharmacy, the ladies working the pharmacy gave my mom only half her prescription and when she noticed she insisted it was supposed to be two bottles of two different things, the lady at the counter got mad and insisted that it was only one, after a few more times of my mom insisting she said ah ok I see, wait 5 minutes and gave my mom the second bottle, when my mom got home she checked the amount and there was 5 pills missing, she gave her less than the amount the prescription and the bottle said, I don't know if they do this intensionally or what, other than HORRIBLE customer service they don't fill the correct amount of medicine so BEWARE OF THIS PLACE read more

Not too sure why they are keep chatting & keep looking at customers inline. read more

It's extremely bad experience. I come and ask for vaccine. Although I do not finish my words, he says 10 o'clock okay? It's rude. I also see a lady with her granddaughter must leave because they can't get the description here. I wonder how can he have a job with that attitude. Don't waste your time here. read more

Horrible service!! Very long lines to pay! Pharmacy techs there take sweet time. Just chitchatting amongst themselves while everyone waits ‍

The Indian lady that works there always gives me a hard time whenever I go. I only come to cvs to pick up my prescriptions so I always go in my cozy clothes (sweats, hair up, hoodies etc) and I guess that bothers her or makes her think that I'm gunna steal or something because she always keeps an eye on me and makes stupid comments so me like if I need help finding anything knowing damn well I'm just gunna walk to the back for the pharmacy. She's familiar with me because I used to come often but after encounters with her I've decided to have my mom pick up my pills for me because the Indian lady made me feel like a thief and uncomfortable. The irony is that my pills are actually for my social anxiety and it's sad that I can't even get the meds I need or don't want to because this lady makes me feel like a convict the second I walk in. Now to talk about the pharmacy. I didn't mind so much coming here before because the pharmacists were nice but ever since they hired this one pharmacist I can't take this place seriously anymore. It's one thing to have an annoying Indian lady cashier but it's another when the pharmacist helping you literally had chola eyebrows that wouldn't have even been popular in the 90's. They're thick, tattooed and VERY VERY tacky. The lady literally looks like a meme I'm dead serious, like where do they get these people from!? What ever happened to professionalism and having pride in your appearance? This place needs to get it together for real. It would've at least been nice if she was at least helpful but she wasn't. She was just another ghetto El Monte stereotype and I can't even look at her without wanting to laugh. I'm trying not to be mean but it's so hard to keep a straight face around her. read more

I've used this pharmacy for a long time, today I was disappointed in the service. I called about a prescription that needed to be filled for my dad that was extremely ill. I spoke to the pharmacist and informed her that my doctor needed her to contact him to provide the prescription to be filled. Her response was she was to busy to call him and could not do it! If I could I'd give them negative stars! I will not use this pharmacy again they clearly don't care about the people they service! The girl with the tattoos is the only one that is helpful. The other two pharmacy assistants are rude and not very helpful. read more

I used to live in El Monte area and loved this CVS because it was 24 hours, pharmacy included! It was great for random late night sugar needs, munchie attacks, and refilling my rx at midnight with no wait. I went yesterday and noticed they were having a semi-annual beauty sale, which I didn't even know existed in the first place. But sale? Count me in! So not everything was on sale... but there was this sheer blush thing from Neutrogena that I wanted to try out. It was a BOGO half off so I also grabbed one of the sheer power....both $12.99 according to the price tag. Got to the register, she rang them up and one popped up as $13.69. Just to make sure my eyes didn't cloud over, I went back to check and sure enough my eyes were fine (as fine as contacts can make them of course). I told the cashier, who told a another girl to go check. Instead of going with me to see the tags herself, she decided she needed a manager to verify the price. Since when do stores need a manager to verify a price tag that is placed there for ALL to see? What happened to honoring prices as advertised? 70 cents. I grabbed my bag and left while she was still trying to find her manager to read a price tag for her. read more

Pretty big store. We came here for one purpose and was in & out. kinda. We rang the bell at the liquor aisle to get some alcohol, The guy brought the bottle all the way to the 1st aisle and said the cashier will help. Dude there was already 3 other people waiting in line, so i dunno why he didin't help ring it up, but it took about a good long 5 minutes before we were rang up. By that time, people started herding around like sheep waiting in line for a single cashier line. WOW o BTW, no self check out either. WhYYyyYYyy would you do thatt!! Overall: they need self check out!! OMG SO SLOW. read more

Open until midnight. Good deals for household staples. I've developed pictures at this location and they're not as savvy with online orders. I lost a bunch of my pictures that I was only able to find because I reordered them and they found them in confusion. :( They have a couple of good deals for online orders for pictures though, if you know what you're looking for. read more

This pharmacy should be shut down. They made a major mistake in filling my prescription. The only reason I knew was because she mentioned it was for a certain part of my body. Not even! Stay away. They might kill you!!! Service is bad. They are too busy talking and not paying attention. Go somewhere else. Not worth the risk! read more

Store is very closed and not a great selection of merchandise. Store is run down Bad customer service. Will not return.

I've been here at least 10 times and all of my experiences has been terrible. Yes, it took me that many times until I finally decided to rate CVS El Monte here on Yelp. You mistreat me once I can forget about it. Treat me disrespectful continuously and I'll come here and but you on blast. I think the rude attitude is very common at this location. All of my encounters has been with different people. About 90% of the employees in there are rude. You ask a question, the employee starts to get irritated. Special request? Be prepared to hear the huffing and puffing noise. Today was the last straw. There were 2 cashier working and I politely asked if someone can help open the glass door to the product I was interested in that was on clearance. Prior to this, I had visited a few CVS that had the same clearance but was OOS. I then asked her if she can scan the product to verify the final price because this location was higher than every store. It was also the fact that CVS always have hidden prices and you won't know it until you scan it. "The price is right here!" she said. Long story short, she was displeased and gave me an attitude despite the fact she was wrong after I had proven to her that the final price was lower than it was tagged. What made me angrier is that her night shift partner had the same attitude! Rude employees .... no business for you! I gotta slap myself for visiting this location knowing that this store is filled with unpleasant hospitality. It's no wonder this CVS have all the items in stock while other CVS are out of inventory (clearance and regular price items). But I assure myself that this IS the last time I'll ever visit. read more
