The pharmacy staff are fabulous!! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Much better than Walgreens! The rest of the store needs some work. Broken freezers and no available restroom for shoppers... read more

Service is ok, but sometimes the count is wrong. I split my business between Mountain View and Truckee with Truckee giving the best service. Beware both locations take an hour off for lunch. Lines can be long. I suggest taking a photo of actual hours they are open. And visit accordingly. read more

They have implemented automated assistant (AI) as their phone service. There is no longer a choice to leave a message that you need them to contact your dr for a refill. My dr requires me to monthly request this. I now have to go in to the pharmacy & in person request them to contact my dr for my monthly refill as I can't do it on the phone. There's no way to call the pharmacy, I am blocked by the AI phone system. It's horrible, always having to go to the pharmacy-no phone service that works with this AI system. Long lines, overworked staff. read more

The worst. Private equity has turned this place into a nightmare. There are always lines. Nothing happens quickly. The store is dirty. The people are nice but everything takes forever. Processes are inefficient. Customer service is nil. They're gonna drive me to find a better way to get prescriptions. Maybe try the Amazon thing online. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Needle bins dropbox - Drugstores Near Me - Mountain View, California

CVS charged my Credit card 5.59 each month for Extra care. I have 10.00 rewards each month and i pay 5.59 of it. Issue # 1- I received 30% coupon on one full priced item. i was not able to use it on shampoo i tried to buy on the internet for pick up at the store. I went to store, at the store coupon works on the same item. Why CVS does not let me use it on the internet? All it said - Use it through Jan 14 one full priced item. I used coupons when buy over internet in the past. If CVS does not want we use coupons they should not give it to us. Why create this kind of confusions for customers? Issue # 2 At the store : Shampoo cost 21.29, Minus 30% coupon -6.39 Equal 14.90 with coupon applied. Minus 10.02 in rewards: 14.90-10.02= 4.89- final price for the item + tax 1.36 Equals 6.25. I gave coupon and told about rewards to cashier - he put everything in but my price was 8.63. He said he can not do anything about it - everything on register. i look at register, 30 % coupon was there, rewards were there, just pay total was over the amount it should be. Even if tax is calculated and added on 21.29, it will be 6.84 but not 8.63. I asked to see Manager, i was told she left. CVS register/cashier first deducted 10.00 rewards and after used 30% coupon -so as result customer will pay 2.40 more. And they do it when the coupon stated -for full price item and should be use first on full price -21.29. I told him 30 % should be deducted from the original price. What an unpleasant experience- CVS does it on purpose to make customers pay more. SCAM. All other stores use rewards when payment applies to reduce or to cover payment- after coupons applied, stores like gap, old navy, banana republic. Who you try to cheat on- your stores are empty. read more

Used to be easy to pick up a prescription. Now there are long lines since the corporation closed the other CVSs closer to my home. Currently I've been trying to get a regular prescription filled and for a week keep getting the message that "we are out of this prescription." I finally asked if they could transfer my prescription to another CVS. The person who was supposed to transfer me dropped the call! I made the call myself and am hoping for the best for the other CVS pharmacy. If it doesn't work out, I am done with CVS. read more

Horrible customer service in pharmacy. Long lines, rushed, and rude. People are getting prescriptions because they've been diagnosed with something that requires medication. Being treated like cattle to "move along" because clerk doesn't know how to resolve prescription issues, etc. on the spot is not professional. Moving on to Amazon pharmacy. No customer service interaction is better than rude and dismissive customer service. read more

This store is super clean and the shelves are well stocked. Unfortunately, while I was here, I didn't see any employees. So, don't expect any customer service here. read more

I've been wrestling for 35 minutes with their virtual assistant trying to get to talk to a human being. Totally frustrating. Is there some alternative phone number I can call? The problem is that I got a phone call from the pharmacist an hour ago about my prescription. My wife talked to the pharmacist but couldn't remember the message. So naturally I want to call back and find out what the message was. I called the pharmacy number 961-5560 but there seems to be no way to talk to a human being at this pharmacy. read more

Pleasant service . Timely! Better than my regular CVS experience..,.,.,.,.,.,.,,,,,,, x

Has anyone else been lied to at this drug store. Do to incompetent pharmacist at the store my wife was without without her medication for 1 1/2 weeks. It took longer because I was told that her prescription couldn't be renewed for 90 days. Utter baloney. Finally after a very long time I myself figured out what the problem was and they finally admitted it was on their end blaming it on a computer problem. Totally baloney. My wife has been on this medication for years! The only reason that it was changed was because of my perseverance. I will credit the fix to the district manager ( who says she spoke to the pharmacy department) and had everything straightened out finally. I will say that they admitted guilt and apologized for the mess up. I hope this problem doesn't come up again and that others do not experience their aloof attitude. And yes, again they admitted guilt on this situation. But it didn't help that she was without meds for a long. Glad it wasn't a life or death situation! read more

The service at this location is horrible employees need to be trained on how to speak with customers specially on the farmacy department never coming here again read more

Welcoming staff: with a smile. Made me smile too! This store was suggested to me by my Primary Care doctor after the CVS store in Miramonte Ave closed! read more

Heather is the best employee at this location. She has helped find things every time I needed help and has an amazing way of finding stuff! Her customer service is way above par and and she is the only reason I shop at this location when i need to go to CVS even if I have to drive past other drug stores to get here. read more

Impossible lines at even 11 am on Wed no able to find medications ever no deliveries every patient confused. Processing 20 min per person. They seem to have caught the Miramonte disease read more

As far as CVS stores go this is the nicest one I know. The guys are always helpful and friendly. It is not perfect - they are not always stocked up, and the pharmacy is slow at times, but always good customer service and in todays world it matters a lot! read more

No words. It's not fully the staff's fault. While they make a lot of mistakes I believe it's due to them having outdated computer systems snd being understaffed. One point of frustration for me personally is when they instruct me to call them to check on a prescription then don't answer for 20+ minute when I call. See photo. read more

CVS Pharmacy - Instructed to call to check on prescription, however....still nobody answering. - Drugstores Near Me - Mountain View, California

Love this store! Pleasant, helpful employees and it's large, so there's a great selection of anything I need. They lost a star because - in violation of state law - they don't allow the public to use their restrooms. https://www.vensure.com/employment-law-updates/california/february-2023-california-expands-restroom-access/#:~:text=All%20businesses%20open%20to%20the,What%20are%20the%20details%3F read more

The pharmacy here is so slow and dysfunctional, it's ridiculous. There are far too few people attending to customers, and they all need to take thyroid medication to function at a pace faster than half of the DMV staff's speed. Plenty of mistakes in finding prescriptions. Everything takes 3x as long as it should, and because of that, the line is always 8 people long to pick up prescriptions, as they process one person every 5 minutes. read more

I don't know why the rating is so low here. Maybe because they are extremely busy having taken over the prescriptions from the closed Miramonte location- and maybe others. But they are always very pleasant and try hard to accommodate. At Miramonte they didn't seem to care much about their customers, so I appreciate the staff at El Monte. read more

Nice store, it took a while to get my insurance in order, and they are overly suspicious when you get controlled substances of pain. Otherwise an ok. store. read more

Customer no service. I was in the pharmacy line for several minutes when they "announced " we are closing for lunch in 4 minutes, come back at 2. I guess we will see how difficult it will be to transfer our prescriptions to Walgreens. Maybe that is a contributing factor in their nationwide planned store closures. read more

Good luck with your prescriptions at this place. Total idiots behind the counter and their computer systems are a mess. I have had to get the doctor and the insurance company to intervene directly the two times I had my meds for cancer treatment filled. The first time they insisted they could only give me 6 days worth of the drug even though the script said 30 with 3 refills. Hit a similar problem on the first refill. Got 30 days worth but then they said Atena would not cover the cost. Like I said, the doc and Aetna had already called them once on this to confirm coverage. Had to repeat the process yet again. Also have eye drop prescription that they never get correct. Prescription is a 3 month supply but CVS insists on sending monthly reminders to refill. Have asked four times for this to be corrected and have been assured four times that they have updated the system. Even took it off auto-refill. Still get the text messages every four weeks. Idiots! It is like musical chairs behind the counter as well. Never seems to be the same staff month to month. And they nearly always seem to be confused on what to do on the register. Is this a training store or something? read more

This review is for pharmacist SUNG: She had the most amazing attitude and customer service 20 min before she had to close the pharmacy (by herself ) She made me smile and didn't mind doing her job even if she was about to close! Thanks SUNG! read more

My prescription was sent in at 1:30 for a common medicine. I arrived at 4:45. I am writing this review nearly an hour later having not yet procured my medicine. It was suggested that I "shop around" as I wait. I came for one item that was requested several hours ago. "Just a little longer. " read more

BOO-ooooo!!! Dammm-U C-V-S! I DO NOT WANT TO CARRY YET ANOTHER FRIKKIN' PLASTIC CARD IN MY WALLET! Would you just give me the sales price without requiring me to "sign up for a red card" i.e. sell my soul and personal info to you basterds?!? It seems poor Longs Drugs finally took their own advice. They've "taken the longs way home"-- and sold to Rhode Island based CVS Pharmacy. I go to this store as well as the Longs which opened in downtown Mountain View since my original review. As far as customer service goes, there is no difference pre- and post- CVS takeover. My ONLY beef? In order to get the sale CVS prices you have to give them your personal info to get a stupid club discount card! I already have a red card with Safeway, which is annoying enough. CVS's is the same colour. Idiots. Yes I know it's free-- unlike Costco which forces everyone to pay by cash or check and the membership costs, what, $50 a year at least. (More on evill greedy Costco some other time, in another review.) And yes, this would not be a biggie to me if I did not have a Safeway Club card. But still, I am fed up. Did I mention: I DON'T WANT TO CARRY YET ANOTHER FRIKKIN' PLASTIC CARD IN MY WALLET GODDAMMMITTT!! || || mn||mm read more

Not as useful as the one off El Camino and San Antonio because it's not 24 hours. Good for the filling of prescriptions and other convenience items. read more

Nice, huge, well stocked CVS. It never seems to be crowded - which is a plus at the checkout line. The store is very clean - even the restrooms. They have a sizable wine selection and are always running a special or two. It's a great little pit stop to pick up essentials. read more

There have been several occasions when I've had to stop by here on weekdays mornings around 7am. It's always the same cashier working. A very pleasant lady but she is s-l-o-w and doesn't seem to understand that customers are sometimes in a rush. She's trying to help by looking over the coupons and letting you know that a similar item is on sale. When I said, " no thank you" she gives you a motherly look like , "you're crazy, you don't want to save $.50?!" Also, when there is a line of 4 customers at your register, common sense says "work a bit faster". read more

I had a really bad allergic reaction at the park. As this was the first pharmacy on my route, I had to stop and get Antihistamine. It's kind of small but things are easy to find. There's nothing incredibly special or bad about this store. Nothing stood out enough to want to come back. But if I'm in the area and need something, I'll stop by. read more

It's a really clean CVS, and the people are friendly there! But I've ordered photo prints that I then had to trim myself before, and last time we went they weren't sure if they had WD-40 or not (they didn't)... Then the cashier drew on our receipt using only her fingernail and created a mysterious black line. Don't know what happened there, don't ever want to know... read more

This is a CVS. There's not that much to it. The atmosphere feels a bit depressing and I think it has to do with the lighting. I also think the prices seem a little higher than other pharmacies. There is also no self checkout here. read more

Awful customer service for acquiring medications. Consistently say that my refills are ready then when I get there they are nowhere to be found. I've also had to give them my insurance info a lot, which should already be in their system. Not sure if that is a valid complaint but it still annoys me read more

I've had issues here before but believed they would clean up their act and improve...boy, was I wrong! The pharmacy is totally inept and unprofessional. I received 2 texts saying my prescription was ready for pickup...went in and was told they couldn't find it. I will never use this place again! read more
