Just get more help for the pharmacy area. You've taken on clients from shuttered pharmacies. You're much busier now, in case you haven't noticed. I don't even want to know how much time I've spent in your lines this year. Satisfied customer for many, many years, but this is ridiculous. Last visit a nice new guy told me to use the bar code window to avoid long waits. I can't, you have that window closed. Do better, CVS, your clients matter, too. read more

Today I went in to CVS to purchase an item and I had Inga as my customer service representative. Inga was kind, helpful, and efficient. Her customer service was superb and I definitely would rather come to this cvs because of her. read more

this place SUCKS!! I have been coming here for over a year for three medications & they somehow always find a way to mess up the simplest transactions. Throughout my time coming here i've had numerous issues with insurance when i have never had such issues elsewhere. In one instance, they attempted to make me pay the retail price of a medication even though i had the proper insurance and would not even consider listening to me, at the time an 18 yr old female, until my father had to be called from across the country. The blanent ignorance and stupidity of their employees baffles me. I'm so happy to have finally transferred my medications elsewhere. read more

My pharmacy (Rite Aid) closed after using it for more than 13 years, because it was conveniently only two blocks away. I am glad that you were the pharmacy that helped make the transition easy. I used to use your store when it was Longs Drug Store, a chain that my family relied on for decades. So, picking up my prescription today felt like coming home. read more

This pharmacy has gone down hill ever since they got new people working. They never take accountability for their mess ups. They always blame the customers they fill 3 of the same prescription at the same time and when you catch it they make a big deal saying they weren't the ones who did it. They hav3 tried to make me pay a co pay when I never ever have in the past and my insurance has never changed. I have to wait for them to fix their mess up to be fixed. The girl who helps me gives attitude all the time and never takes ownership of what happens here. This is just a poorly ran pharmacy with no leadership at all. read more

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I was out and about with one of my Fresno cousins running errands for stuff my cousin wanted. We stopped at this CVS. My gosh, there was NOT enough staff. What little staff there was, was trying so hard to be professional but we could see they were stressed at the overwhelming demands upon them from so many customers. Many of those customers were openly irate. No one was managing the understaffed situation. There was not a manager in sight, or someone acting as a manager. Store was dirty. This business should reduce its hours open to when it has adequate staffing and is clean. Instead, the poor staff is stretched so thin everyone's stressed. The staff is stressed. The customers are stressed. After initially patiently waiting in line to pay, we put our items down and left without them. For I finally realized I was contributing to employees' mistreatment by shopping at stores so clearly under-staffed, and to executive's bloated compensation directly resulting from that under-staffing. I won't make that mistake again. I blame the CVS executives. https://prospect.org/labor/pharmacists-stage-walkout-in-early-unionization-effort/ Greed is defined as a deadly sin for a good reason. Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 1 Peter 5:2-3 CVS CEO Larry Merlo was named as 8th highest paid CEO in the US by CNN Money in 2014. At that time, his total compensation was a whopping $22.9 million of avarice. When compared to the salary of an average CVS employee, earning $28,700 that year, this CVS CEO was paid MORE than 422 times as much. There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. CVS' Merlo was the top paid health CEO in 2019. CVS' multi-millionaire Merlo, along with entire CVS greedy executives has fallen under harsh criticism for way they brutally run their operations. An absence of justice disintegrates a business, community, a state, a nation. No matter how paranoid you are, you're not paranoid enough. Some accusations are criminal treatment of employees; most are about inhumane treatment of employees. http://www.pharmaciststeve.com/cvs-pharmacist-dies-on-the-job-from-cardiac-mi-forced-to-wait-for-relief-pharmacist-to-show-up/ CVS KNOWINGLY UNDER-STAFFS, placing an unreasonable and dangerous burden on front-line workers. CVS has not let staff take legally required breaks or leave when sick. We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. The world's richest people emit most carbon. Has NO Military Veterans Discount as a token thank you to Veterans and GIs to provide resource to ensure Veterans (rare 7% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. CEO compensation has grown staggeringly greedy 940% since 1978. Typical worker compensation rose only 12% since 1978 --which hasn't kept up with inflation, which is 320.72% since 1978 up to 2020 when it escalated in 2021 to the highest in four decades. Worker's real compensation went down while corporate executive' compensation continued to rapidly escalate. Dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.40% per year between 1978 and 2020, producing a cumulative price increase of 320.72% since 1978. This data means that prices up to 2020 are 4.21 times higher than average prices since 1978, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. The hyper-inflation struck in 2021, and the wealth inequality just got even way worse. Wealth inequality is far too prevalent. It is far more severe than income inequality, and it has worsened the past 50 years. In 1963, high-wealth families -- those whose wealth ranked at the 90th percentile -- had $6 for every $1 in wealth owned by the typical middle-class family. By 2016, they had doubled that to $12. For me, wealth means freedom, security and the opportunity to help others. It means having the financial freedom to do the things you enjoy and which make you feel truly alive. Wealth is having options, resources, good health, contentment, personal growth, education, family, children, personal time, and being surrounded by people who inspire you and value you; people that you trust and like and who who trust and like you. It's about cool new experiences and traveling to stay in touch with family and friends. It's about many things that money cannot buy. It's about having your dignity recognized and accepted. It's about being respected and valued and appreciated. It's about having money to pay for an emergency, to help your child with a down payment on a home. read more

I do not tend to come here as the parking lot is usually very scummy and it just feels "off" I don't use this pharmacy despite being in walking distance to my home because the line is usually worse than Starbucks on free frappe day.. Today, I had no choice.I needed a gift card that they carry. As I exited my car parked very near the doors, I saw a pile of diarrhea. I'm not sure it it was canid or humanoid but it stank. I carefully avoided it only to have to cross a river of piss that someone had deposited on the wall right next to the entry door. There was what also appeared to be several pools of various melted substances that may have been ice cream in a previous life. Inside the place was trying to be cheerful from under a grimy grip. They indeed had the gift card was in search of so, I made my way to the line. It wasn't bad..only 3 people. But the lady at the cashier was signing up for some store program that took a few moments...it seems like there could be a more efficient way to handle this. By now my anxiety was rising, because this place has all the warmth of a prison riot. I gave 2 stars because at least the cashier was pleasant and helpful. Walking back out to my car, I noticed the diarrhea had been stepped in and the hokey pokey maneuver had been employed to remove it. Avoidance at this point was tricky at best and the stink stank worse than ever. I feel for whoever did the squish. I will continue to avoid this store like the plague. read more

I understand it's tough to staff but just change your hours. I came here for medication after a trip to the Ear and there's a sign on the door that says the pharmacy won't open until 12:15. They didn't come until 12:25...I didn't get my prescription until 12:47. Just close if you can't keep hours. read more

Covid-19 phase! Great store! Clean! I went here to get cereals. They had a big selection of to go ones. Pretty great! Bought many!

Only 4 stars for Kyra Kira I'm not sure what's been going on with the pharmacy but they're gone down so much. On 7-6-22 the pharmacy's system went down and they had been down for hours. I went through HELL to get a prescription on 7-6 I saw it was filled and I just had to pick up. I went back to the pharmacy to pick up and their system was down (which is understandable) I told them I needed my script before I leave on a 2 week vacation The older middle eastern lady was so so rude and didn't care what I had to say and didn't want to help me. She told me there was nothing they can do. As I was leaving the store I was shopping around and was on the phone venting to my BF how upsett I was I couldn't get my medication before my vacation that I was leaving on a flight in 4 hours This CVS worker Kyra or Kira over heard me because she was stocking shelves by me. She was immediately trying to help and was so so sweet. She asked me a couple questions and was gonna see if it was okay to just give me my script. Sure enough it was perfectly fine! I'm so happy she was listening to me when I was upset and she stepped in and tried to help in every way she could. She really made my day that day. I was having a horrible day and she literally just took so much worry and stress away. CVS is having a lot of issues with this pharmacy I hope they can train their employees to help others the way Kira did for me! She didn't have to do that she didn't have to care but she did She went out of her way to help me unlike people who were behind the counter standing there while phones are ringing and they can't even tell customers who call that their system is down and they're making everyone drive down to the store when they can't even help them Thank you Kyra I hope they get rid of the other horrible pharmacy techs because you're great and actually have great customer service! Thank you so much girl!! read more

I like CVS, I think they have some great products and have a decent pharmacy. I don't like this CVS. Pretty simple, you take care of the customers and be nice, pretty simple. Came on to grab a couple of Gatorades ( it was 105 outside) and a snack before hitting the road again. Walked in, found what I was looking for and began walking to counter. I see a gentlemen, later identified as ERICK # 1751584, sitting on the floor organizing a couple of shelves. I looked at him, look up at the counter, he asked is anyone up there? I said yes one person, he turned back to the shelves and ignored me. I walked up behind now 3 customers plus me. Erick looked over at us, sitting and continued to organize the shelf, I thought maybe he is not the clerk and now he will call for one. Nope, it was him. I don't mind waiting a little bit, 5-10 minutes but come on dude, you see us. Finally, I asked Erick if there is any way the customers at the counter can get some help. He had the shittiest look on his face, slowly got up, he walked like he has no purpose in the store and gets to the counter. Then he proceeds to check us out, with an attitude. When I finally got up there, he mumbled something, I asked him to clarify and of course, oh I didn't say anything. Attitude, poor customer service and worst disrespectful..nope ain't coming back. read more

Every time I come here my experience is eh. Not so great. Customer service sucks here so much and I get they're open 24 hours, but that doesn't mean every person that walks in past dark deserves an attitude. The last time I came here one of the store employees was standing at the door just singing and dancing. Whatever. He greeted me which was nice, but watched me as I walked through the store to get some tampons and watched my whole transactionwithbuos coworker. Weird... I literally only come here if I need too. Otherwise, this place is overpriced and has terrible customer service. read more

The best CVS pharmacy I have ever been to. My husband and I drove from LA to visit Sequoia and King Canyon Park. My husband forgot to bring one of his daily medication so we went to this 24/7 CVS for immediate help on a Sunday night. Pharmacist and two others young staff were very kind and helped us within 10 minutes. So lucky we are CVS members and got to this CVS store. read more

Honestly, I never shop with CVS, they aren't close to my house. Recently thought, I visited the Prather, Ca location on my way through, I bought one box of (CVS) patches for quitting smoking. I normally buy the Walmart brand, which work great. The CVS patches are like band aids. They do not stick to skin like normal and every other brand patches. I used one patch and it fell of in a few hours. Supposed to last 24 hours. (These are expensive!) So I took the box back to the cvs closest to my home. It was the next few days. I no longer had receipt. (I thought they would stick!!) I offered to exchange for the more expensive patches and pay out of pocket. The people that work in the Shaw and Fresno location not only made me wait forever, but also made me re-explain myself with two employees. It was embarrassing in front of other customers. Than told me, there was nothing they could do for me. If I no longer have receipt. So guess what.. I went and bought a pack of cigarettes. CVS. You do not care about us. I only used one patch, with a two week supply. You are rude , you patches don't stick and I will never revisit CVS because the way you treat us humans. read more

Perhaps I am being unfair because this is the second pharmacy I have visited tonight that was closed before their posted hours. I believe this is a 24/7 location but a handwritten sign on the door said open at 7:30am and the person at the door said they just don't have the staff tonight - but then I saw about 5-6 employees walk in together (and there were more employees already inside). I am a little disappointed I couldn't pick up bandaids for my bleeding hand. Oop, another employee just walked in as I was writing this review. Bummer. read more

JUST STOP advertising as a 24 hour drive thru pharmacy when you can't and won't. Total nonsense driving up at 3am in the morning from Kaiser-ED coz we were advised that you are a 24hr drive thru service when you guys just have to let us wait out at the drive thru counter, having to wait 20 minutes tops & just have someone at your prompter say that the Pharmacist is on lunch from 3.30am to 4.30am. Talk about inefficiency. read more

At least twice now when using the drive through for the pharmacy I 'very had to drive around to the front of the store due to no one acknowledging me. No one was in the pharmacy line inside as well. The employees were unapologetic and the Managers attitude was "I can talk to them". When leaving I was yelled at to have a nice day. Yuck! read more

If you plan on filling your perscription at CVS - DO NOT FILL IT HERE - I was transferred from another CVS (I love the Cedar and Herndon location - SO professional) as they didn't have my medication in stock. They called a head of time, confirmed it was in stock, transferred my medication and I made my way over to the N. Fresno CVS. I was told the medication would be ready as soon as I got there. I should have asked, honestly begged, for any other location. I stood in line for over 45 minutes, was ignored/not even acknowledged, (l would have appreciated a "hey were busy and will be with you soon" or literally anything to be honest) and they helped multiple people who had came in after me. I patiently waited in line, silent, and after about another ten minutes, they called me over just to tell me they hadn't even filled it yet and they didn't even "get a call" when they did. (I was IN FRONT of the pharmacist when she called at the Cedar and Herndon location.) One employee was playing on his phone at the the drive through station when no one was there... and others just looked at me and never called me over... I usually NEVER leave bad reviews unless the customer service and overall professionalism is severely lacking, but there were others just like me who were waiting longer than I that were clearly treated the same way. I can't even imagine how long the others waited... overall a not to positive experience, and I would never recommend filling your prescription or getting any medication from here... read more

Went here to fill an emergency prescription and this CVS is hood. Store was filthy employees left all kinda carts abandoned.

My fiancé just went here to pick me up some tampons because I am fully out. (It's 12:30 AM). This pharmacy is listed as 24 hours online and when I call the store number. He went and saw two people walk up, but the door was locked. My fiancé walked up himself and saw the security guard asleep on the floor. He knocked on the door, waking up the security guard. He asked the security guard what was up and he just said "we're closed!" We are definitely confused by the "open 24 hours" thing now. This location is losing money in customer sales and in paying the "security guard." Overall, not good. read more

I would give this CVS a ZERO start if I could. Waiting time for pharmacy is ridiculous. Will never go back to this pharmacy.

Came here after an emergency trip to Urgent Care to get a prescription filled the same night. 3 delays and 3 hours later we leave with 2/4 prescriptions. They claimed to not have the other two in their system and said to return in 2 more hours to pick them up (9pm). Came back the next day at 12pm to grab the prescriptions on our way out of town and they lost it. They had no record of the order and they lost our only paper receipt from Urgent Care (took it last night to act as a "paper prescription"). When we told them we left the paper prescription with a woman at the drive through, another employee (Ruth) jumped into the conversation and rudely demanded to know the name of the woman who helped us and when we didn't know tried to turn it around on us. Had to call Urgent Care to verify the prescriptions, and we are now waiting for them to fill it. It's been an hour and we were supposed to be driving to Sacramento. We are extremely upset and my gf is in immense pain & desperate for her inhaler and prednisone. read more

They do not value our time, never received a call so calling in, on hold for over 15 minutes, stated I have to talk to the pharmacist. I read reviews and made sure the pharmicist was there, (other times not able to pick up had to "consult" with doctor- those were 30 minutes wait) came back on phone can I help you? Is this the pharmacist? NO, back on hold going on 20 minutes. Retired? Have all the time in the world? This place is for you. Waiting to complete phone call before I finalize this review... probably thinking Im saving time because it is close, faster if I drive to Walgreens instead, 2 miles away. Still on hold 25 minutes... While I am waiting I would like to take this time to thank Yelp for allowing me to vent :) there is satisfaction here .... ok 35 minutes on hold, on the phone with pharmacist, but they only have one perscription and it is not ready. Now the doctor office is closed, cannot get the antibiotic recalled in. Sad sad sad, my friend had 3 surgical tooth extractions, and cannot get his perscriptions, needed since 1:00pm - signing off 5:09 read more

I go thru drive thru and I see another hand written sign that said store open at 5am. So I decided to call the store and a lady answered me saying "oh let me help you at the drive thru" I waited there for 20 min and never got helped. This place needs better staff that really knows customer service. They also need to stop advertising open 24hours because they were not open at 3am when I needed emergency medications.

Whole store is a fail , all they do is stare at there phones all day and talk while we have to wait on them to attend to us the Customer!

I wish yelp had zero stars as an option. I've been disgusted with this pharmacy and their staff for over a year. After constantly over charging for medication despite having insurance on file, having extremely rude staff and never having a single positive experience at this location literally ever, I decided to transfer medicine to a pharmacy 45 miles away because I rather drive then deal with their staff. The pharmacy staff to begin with is incompetent lazy and rude. When we finally did request transfer they fought us. Claiming we had no refills left. Literal bullshit because they're automatically refilled. So I had to call all my doctors office directly and there's a lot of them. EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR TOLD ME THERE WAS REFILLS AVAILABLE. This staff is just lazy and hate their job. They just didn't want to send the prescription over. Mind you this is medication for a heart problem and cancer. But they obviously don't care about anyone but you. Also don't bother calling. They don't answer or leave you on hold because they literally don't want to talk to you. I'm currently standing in line on hold with them. I just wanted to see how they respond to the phone in person. I've been on hold now for 15 minutes while they converse over whatever bullshit they wanna giggle about. HONESTLY SAVE YOURSELF THE GRIEF AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. THIS PHARMACY NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN read more

Totally loved the customer service I received from this store two days ago. I was only in town for two days and stopped by to see if any of the 90% off storage bins were still available. Sadly they weren't but the staff was exceptional. I haven't had the best experience shopping at CVS and being from out of town I wasn't expecting to feel so welcomed.

We only transferred our special needs daughters prescriptions here because Jaimie had moved to this location. We haven't filled here in months since she left. They filled a prescription today so our current pharmacy could fill her seizure medication. I sat on HOLD for 2 hours so I drove there. Entirely out of way from where we live to ask them to return the prescriptions. Dude at the window was a total jerk with a bad attitude because I I him I was on hold for 2 hours. He said he returned them I could tell by his tude, he didn't, so our pharmacy ended up calling on the physician line because they wouldn't answer their calls either to do the return.

I came to this pharmacy to get my COVID booster shot and I had to use the restroom. The tech told me to get the key from the front register. I went to the front register and asked the clerk, who proceeded to tell me she did not want the liability and told me to get a key from the tech in pharmacy. I came back and asked the tech what the cashier told me. She told me to go across the street to McDonald's or the Mobil Gas Station. So, I left and drove to those locations, and, well....both refused as they are not open to public due to COVID-19 (Mobile Gas) and both restrooms were out of order (McDonald's). I had to buy a bottle of gatorade and passed in it. These people just don't want to clean the restroom....lazy workers! I've been to other CVS locations and they allowed me to use the restroom. Cashier also told me because its a pharmacy, they don't let people use the restroom. THAT'S SOME B.S.! I considered transferring my prescription but no way if they treat patrons like this. read more

"Don't come back" are the words I heard as I was near the store entrance on my way out after getting my prescriptions from the pharmacy. I turn around, see the cashier checking out another customer, and I ask, perplexed, "What? Don't come back?" and she again repeats herself as she looks at me. I've been going to this particular pharmacy for several years of my life, to get my prescriptions, and I've never had anyone not only assume I'm stealing, but be bold enough to out loud wrongly accuse me of stealing, and especially not even having a reason to or stating why such statement is said. I can't believe I even went and showed her my bag, I was beyond humiliated. Her response was "That's all I needed to know" No ma'm, you didn't. I didn't need to show you anything, you're not even asset protection, and you slandered against a long time customer of that store. All those years of going there, not once have I seen her ugly old face, and I would hope I never do unless it's in court. read more

Absolutely ridiculous. Word customer service, you have to pull any and all information out of them to get anything done. I've gotten messages saying meds are ready when they aren't. Doctor office called to confirm meds and date of fill and they confirmed date of fill but since since Doctor didn't then ask if they had it in stock when it came time to pick up meds of course they did isn't have it. How can you fill a script without stock? You can't. But according to cvs you have to ask BOTH questions separately. Blows my mind. Even a Doctors office can't be assisted properly. Some feedback - when someone calls and says "can this script be filled?", you cannot say YES if you don't have the STOCK. Oh and did I mention the terrible customer service? read more
