I love all of the CVS stores in my area. Each one has a different selection of products and seasonal items. This particular location in the Safeway shopping center across from the Alameda County Fair is spacious, well stocked and always clean. Their seasonal selection is superb. I can always find something unique for the holidays. They have a variety of Halloween and pumpkin decor for this season. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. read more

If you go around 5 after work the lines are super duper long! Like at least twenty people before you. Do yourselves a favor and come at an abnormal unpopular time lol read more

They just filled my Rx with a generic that is not comparable (isn't that illegal?), and then kept cutting me off and telling me I was wrong (rude and incorrect) when I tried to point this out to them. I was not wrong - because I had googled the drug before I arrived. Finally, they agreed to order the Rx I was prescribed. Horrible customer service and an embarrassing situation for a pharmacy - to fill an Rx incorrectly and then flat out deny and defend it! read more

Prescription delivery. This happens to me second time in an year. Although the label says 180 the actual numbers was way less than indicated. This was for a BP drug. Although I explained to them for an hour over phone & in the pharmacy, the response they gave was that they count three times and they never are wrong. I finally had to pay $70 to get a refill. They don't really care. read more

I just started with CVS since I have a different coverage. The service was exceptional: Arcelia went out of her way to get my prescription transferred, communicated expectations clearly, was able to update my records, and got me the eye drops that I needed desperately before going for lunch. I so appreciate their customer service, systems, managerial support in the back, and overall clean/safe environment. Thank you. read more

I was informed originally that only one of the two medications my daughter needed was available. I asked if there was a way to look of a location that had BOTH medications as my daughter really needed the ear drops. She stated they had a higher dose and she called to see if she could get that updated and told me that she gotten the OK and that both medication's would be ready in an hour. I sent my husband for pick up and they only had one of the two medication's available and on top of that the most important one; ear drops was not. I was not given a call or informed that they could not get it as the technician had assured me that they could get both of them. I've had my child in extreme pain all night as all pharmacies had closed. read more

The customer service experience was substandard. The pharmacist Mike at CVS Pharmacy demonstrated markedly unprofessional conduct toward members. As a healthcare professional myself, it is deeply disheartening to witness other healthcare personnel interacting with members in a manner that reflects disrespect, poor communication skills, and insufficient patient-centeredness. I am relieved that he is not a direct patient-care provider, as such behavior would be incompatible with appropriate standards of healthcare delivery. read more

Worst experience. Calling in and no response. They are just not customer friendly. I would advise to go somewhere else if you want customer attention read more

This CVS is terrible, if you call no one picks up when you call. If you're sick and need a prescription, they now close at 7, making it difficult to get to the pharmacy after work When you go into the store, oftentimes no one is at the register. read more

I am so disappointed in Rite Aide's closing. I have visited this CVS store and the pharmacy on more than one occasion and it is horrible. The customer service tonight was awful. I am never coming back. .The shelves for makeup are empty. I was looking for NYX lip gloss but the entire display of NYX was cleaned out. This store does not seem to be managed well. read more

Pharmicist did not consult me on new medications. They were too busy working on prescriptions to stop for customers. And it took the cashier a long time to find my prescription and he had attitude, like it was my fault. I also could not read the tiny print for prescriptions. Ended up Googling them to figure out what I should not drink or eat or do before, during and after taking the meds, which turned out to be important. read more

I guess this is CA because of the $950 law. I went to pay and there was nobody up front so being honest used the self checkout, paid and left still nobody was up front. read more

rude ... phone system prevents you from actually speaking to a real person .. the in store front staff is personable and friendly , very helpful but it ends there read more

they work hard in the pharmacy. on the floor too. but I just want to say I never had a bad experience here. yes -- I've had to wait.. but usually because a customer does not have any self-awareness read more

I had a photo order this morning , there was a hiccup with my order. Veronica was so kind and helpful getting my order printed. Jay came over to help , get my order done. Both employees were on top of helping me, this busy season. Excellent customer service!! read more

Customer service is very inconsistent. Had a very negative experience with Shaunese(?sp). Rude, did not want to re-activate my Care Pass as it meant she had to void and re-enter my purchases (I only had 4 items)! Really lazy and unwilling to help. Her manager had to intervene and basically reprimanded her in front of me. Really unprofessional! read more

Arrived at 4:55 - the pharmacy had closed down early. The staff was still there and I over heard them "Wait to clock out at 5". Please stay open for the scheduled hours. I had just come from the hospital and my partner really needed his pain medicine. (5/05/24) read more

Sorry, but what CVS doesn't carry any Hello Kitty items? Came here to use my 40% coupon to buy the Halloween Hello Kitty but this location didn't have it, nor did it have any Hello Kitty items. Then decided to use the coupon on some feminine products. Again, this location didn't have my usual either. Also no clay heat packs or any other odds and ends I could find to use the coupon on that would be a typical drug store purchase. read more

Ordered posters printed from this store. The quality was great for the price! Very satisified with the posters, turnaround time and friendly staff at this location. read more

After many years of being a customer at a different CVS, I moved so now this location is my CVS. I have always had a good experience but was sad to leave my old CVS where everyone knew my name. I phoned to get an RX filled that maybe need a new scrip from the Dr., but the employee ( I think Anoosh) asked me all the right question to problem solve and it turned out I didn't need a new scrip. I really appreciate him taking the time to ask me the right questions to get my situation solved. Thanks! read more

The worst customer service by the pharmacy dept particularly Mai. The store has sub par quality, the people who work there have a nasty attitude and do not care about patients. read more

Made sure prescription came in an hour before their lunch. Arrived 10 min before their lunch. They told me they hadn't filled it yet because my insurance didn't cover it. I said I I'll pay for it only 32.63. They said I would now have to wait because their lunch starts in 4 min not enough time to fill it before their lunch. My wife is now having to wait an extra hour in pain because of their incompetence to fill a 6 pill prescription in 4 min that they could have filled earlier but thought 30 dollars was a reason no to fill it. If I could I would give a negative raiting read more

I'm not sure WHY, but CVS changed the way we connect wirelessly when using the photo booth. I remember coming here earlier in the year which I was able to navigate just fine without having to ask anyone for help. This time I wasn't able to connect wirelessly/automatically like before. I kept getting an error message saying, "Unable to Connect" on my phone. I asked this guy working at the cashier for help and he was amazing!! Very knowledgeable, friendly, calm, thought outside of the box (USB cable). We need more CVS employees like him. Just like the same problem I was having at the CVS on Santa Rita near Trader's Joe I wasn't able to connect both wirelessly or manually (entering password which changes per session) on my CVS App on my Android phone. The guy tried to help me too, but the screen on the computer wasn't moving forward. Finally the guy was like, "Let's try using the USB cable because then all the photos will appear though slower," and I said, "Okay," and sure enough thinking outside of the box this guy was able to help me!!! Which meant I was able to help my middle school son complete his project by being able to help him print out photos. If you have an Android phone + using photo booth these are the steps to take. 1) First go through all the needed steps on the photo booth. IF I remember correctly, one would click on: A - Prints/Enlargement B - Sizes (I chose standard 4x6) C - Print in seconds D - Border or No Borders (I chose No Border) E - Android/IPhone (Android) Then would ask you how you would like to connect with choices of USB, Wirelessly/Manually or Bluetooth. Click on USB connection. Using your Android phone, go to your phone setting then click on Wireless Network and find the matching Wifi Network shown on the photo booth as shown in the list under your Wireless Network phone setting. Click and your Android phone should now be connected between the photo booth and your Android phone. From here, connect the correct USB cable to your Android phone as if you're going to charge your phone. Look at the screen on the photo booth to select which file you would like for the photo booth to upload from your Android phone. Be warned phones connected via USB cable will upload slower compared to how fast photos upload when connected wirelessly. If you have used CVS photo booth before then I would just assume one would know how to navigate the photo booth, but if you don't it's easy to use. All you have to do is click on each pictures (red box) you would like to buy. Each picture you click on will have a "-" and "+" which is used for quantity purpose. If for some reason you change your mind about wanting different sized photos one could simply click on "more options" on the right side of the photo booth screen to edit/change size of your photos. One could also crop photos too. Once you are pleased with your choices of photos you can find them in your shopping cart (bag symbol) top right corner. Clicking on your shopping cart will take you to the next page of summary. If you are pleased you can click on the photo booth screen to let the computer know you are done and ready to print your receipt + photos. Keep the printed receipt because you need this to show the cashier how many photos you printed, sizes and for how much you owe CVS. Paying for my pictures up front I once again bumped into the kind guy who helped me. I told him, "Thank You for helping me again," which he said, "No problem." I told him, "I had just come from the CVS location on Santa Rita near Trader's Joe where I had the same connection problem. Instead of getting helped by this girl over there she instead blamed it on the "wind." The guy laughed and said, "The wind has nothing to do with NOT being able to connect." I laughed too saying, "See? That's what I thought. What this girl told me didn't make any sense to me so I came straight here. For my future trip, I will just come to this location. Friendly service and patient employee. read more

I can't speak to how well this pharmacy performs with prescriptions, but I can share what I've experienced with other aspects of this store/location. It is very clean and well kept. It actually might have a fighting chance to pass Christy A's bathroom inspection!!! All of the employees here are friendly and helpful. Since it is located in a busy complex, parking can be slightly challenging right around lunch time. But then again, that is an easy fix right? Just DON'T show up during the lunch rush!! :) Conclusion: Great staff, super clean, no parking issues (*outside of lunch hours*), and take note here folks, as this puts them over the TOP: They carry 8 out of the 10 Ice Breakers Ice Cubes Gum!!!!! Cool Lemon - Raspberry Sorbet - Peppermint - Wintergreen - Bubble Breeze - Arctic Grape - Strawberry Smoothie & Spearmint!! Most places carry 4 or less, so yes, they are the DUKE!!! *I will eventually test out their pharmacy. If they deliver, their rating will stand. If they fumble, I will adjust accordingly* read more

Pharmacy is Unprofessional & Clueless 1- Tried to get a shingles vaccine - a very rude man (pharmacists?) yelled to the counter "either she has a prescription or she's over 60". First, that was rude. Second it is WRONG. The current recommendation is over 50 without a scipt. Shouldn't the pharmacist know this?? How many less than 60 yo's did he turn away?? 2- Dropped off a prescription 5 days before it could be filled and was assured the system would "flag" it to be filled accordingly. Wasn't flagged. They had to order the medication. The medication was "dropped off" the order. All in all the prescription I dropped off 5 days early wasn't dispensed until 7 days after the fill date -- a 12 day swing! 3- The cashiers are rude and condescending. And why?? They are working at a chain pharmacy and I am just trying to get my meds. The the attitude (especially the black lady) is off the charts. I've moved my prescriptions. Don't need the attitude or the ineptness. read more

Cvs associate couldn't find the battery for my car keys. all batteries, AAA, C, hearing aids, car keys are all lumped into the "battery center. not as efficient as Walgreens which categorizes batteries under car keys, hearing aids. etc. buys: amazon tea 4/$2 -needed cvs card but cashier took care of that. take outs: -associates helpful but items shelved inefficiently so it's a wash. read more

Not good ... That's funny!!! This is the second " funny!!! This is the second "CVS" I attempted to do business with. And, just like his brother, CVS Pharmacy at 3010 Bernal, Pleasanton, CA, this pharmacy is just as bad!!! Another corporation that puts the money before the lives of people is just begging for a wrongful death lawsuit. I followed my old pharmacy in Pleasanton that closed because I knew the pharmacists, techs and clerks. Sadly, it didn't take long to see that the powers that be demanded MORE MONEY without hiring enough people to accommodate the customers. The LAST CVS Pharmacy I attempted to do business with was at, 6750 Bernal, Pleasanton, CA. That's right!! Two CVS's on the same street. I battled with pharmacists at both pharmacies. I saw two pharmacists at this location. Mistake after mistake and deliveries that were once free, pushed me "out the door". I now receive my rx's by mail and have no issues. It's nice to know I don't have to worry about miscommunication, drug errors and zero accomodations. It's sad that Longs philosophy is no longer with us, because CVS SUCKS!!! read more

The receptionists at this CVS are so rude to customers. CVS just lost a customer today. If a company does not even provide basic training to their store employees, then they don't deserve my business. I was looking for a particular medicine. CVS.com showed me that the medicine was available at their Bernal Avenue Pleasanton store. I could not locate the medicine so I went to ask the lady at the counter. She said it is not available, without even checking her computer. I told her I checked online and it tells me it is available at this store. She very rudely told me that just because it says so online doesn't mean the store has it. I hope they fire such rude store clerks. read more

The clerk has really bad altitude. They don't know what they are doing. Didn't do the proper check in computer and did not admit they made mistake. Keep me waiting for a long time. Very frustrating. Bad service. So disappointing. Don't want to use this cvs store service better to use Walgreens or Costco. read more

Helpful cashiers in a well stocked place. There is plentiful parking shared with a Safeway. They carry only one iron, but it's a fairly decent iron for a generic branded item. read more

This interview is not about the pharmacy - I get my prescriptions from Kaiser. The lady who did the passport photos was awesome - I needed passport photos for my kids for their US and Japanese passports. I saw that CVS photo computer actually had templates/requirements for a bunch of different countries. It didn't take very long and we had everything we needed. I even got to use my $2 off coupon. read more

Warning. Came here 3 days in a row on my lunch break. I even varied between 1130-130 and somehow every time I'm there they couldn't release my medication because the pharmacist was on lunch. Amazing. Then I asked to have it transferred, they said they couldn't. I gave up. Don't need my prescription this badly. Forget it. read more

The absolute worst pharmacy and staff I have ever encountered. They first refused to fill a prescription my doctor wrote earlier that day because it may conflict with a scrip the SAME doctor wrote a week prior. They then were unable to verify the prescription after 6 business days and 8 calendar days. Absolutely incompetent. I have filed a complaint with the State Board of Pharmacy against the technician and the pharmacist. I fully intend to file complaints with CVS as well once their customer support is open again. I fully intend to ensure this CVS gets new staff and training and the existing staff don't care and are incapable of doing their jobs fully. I am also filing a grievance with my insurance carrier at their request and highly suggest anyone else dealing with them to do similar. read more

Definitely won't be using this pharmacy again. First time I went, there was only one person working and she was quite busy. I was the only person in line, but didn't get waited on for quite some time. Second time I tried calling to verify some information, and I waited on hold for 10 minutes an no one answered the phone. I then called back and was transferred to the general line and asked if there was a problem at the pharmacy or perhaps with the phone system. The person in the store said that she didn't know, they may be busy, and transferred me again. Another 5 long hold ensued before finally having the phone answered. When I asked the cost for the prescriptions, she again put me on hold, and when she answered, only gave me the cost of one of the meds and then hung up on me. There's gotta be a better place to go in Pleasanton, and I'm ready to find it after this experience. read more

I just left this store and I need to congratulate Veronica for her professionalism, manners , patience and ability to multitask between register and photo department. The line was big, she was by herself welcoming clients who walked in and making sure everyone was in easy while helping clients checking out, getting prints and even taking passport pictures. VERONICA you are AMAZING! I will be back here because of your great service. Thanks. Sandra read more
