Wanted to give 5 stars for the Photo dept employee (should've gotten her name) was so helpful and had such a positive attitude. She was so swamped with people pulling her left & right, plus she was answering all the phone calls that came in, too. She didn't even bat an eyelash when I said i needed a passport photo. She took care of my needs, as well as those of 6-7 other patrons needing help in her dept. simultaneously. =D
So, 5 stars to the Latina lady in the photo dept on 1/29 @ around 1pm.
I took 2 stars back because -1 star for the dread-headed employee working the self-check aisle. First of all...let me just say...I HATE SELF-CHECK OUT @ CVS!! There - said it! So the other star taken for the Self Check out!!!
I've used self check outs at countless other stores and nowhere else has the craziness that CVS does. It is just so fricken sensitive - it literally yells at you if you don't put your stuff in the bag when it tells you to. Ok - maybe not yell, but irritatingly repeats itself until you do what it tells you to do. If you don't scan quick enough it already wants to check you out.
There wasn't an actual human working a register (except for in photo-but she just left for her break), there was only self-checks available and a dread-locked dude standing there to "help". I don't know why dread-head didn't get behind a register and check us out himself. Things would've went a helluva lot quicker and smoother.
Because Im a responsible shopper I bring my own bag. Scanned then put my items back into my bag that Im holding on my arm..the system kept doing the repeat thing, proceeded to scan my next item -took a few tries before it took, then it did the "put items in bag" thing over and over. I put my shopping bag on the table where the plastic bags hang, the place where it tells you to put your items after scanning - at that time the system says "remove the items located on the counter". At this time the dread-head comes over and does the following...
1 - dumped, yes dumped (turn the bag over and dumped) my shit on the EXACT spot the system wanted scanned items to be, and where i placed my bag after the system would not Shut The F&$K UP
2 - told me not to put my bag there - but its where the CVS bags are hanging and the sensor can tell when you put things in the bag
3 - kept asking me the same question about my items (2 lip balms same brand different flavors & 4 exact same chocolate candy) says what is that item, what is that item -maybe he couldn't read
4 - when finally time to check out, he literally flung my last couple items into the bag, not place them in the bag, but threw them in there. A$$Hole!!
You know what...Im taking another star, just cuz now I worked myself up just remembering it.
***Just wanted to add, that I have absolutely nothing against dread locks or people who wear dread locks. I used the term to make a point and as a description only. But I do have a problem with idiocy. read more
