You have never been to Porterville with it's long white sandy beaches, tropical surroundings and relaxed island atmosphere? I know...it's a dream...wake up David! We were filming an episode of "6 hours in Porterville." I know you can't wait to see this exciting production. I am giving them 5-stars because they had availability for a Pfizer Covid Vaccine so I got one last Friday when I stopped in. And the woman who administered it was as nice as can be. Now I bet you are saying, David! you are going to have to drive back there for the 2nd in 3 weeks! No, no, no--they got me an appointment for the 2nd close to where I live. Although if you have ever been to Porterville--you may want to come back here and stay at the Ritz Carlton Porterville. About the CVS Store: Not as well stocked as a CVS store in LA. Large free and easy parking. Just as easy to get your bicycle stolen here as in LA (see my pic). I asked the CVS woman who checked me in for the Vaccine how it went for her? She said--I am not getting the Vaccine unless they make me. I don't trust it. I asked here if she gets the Flu vaccine? Nope. (If I worked in a drug store with sick people coming in all day I would definitely consider getting vaccines.) Next door is a Starbucks with outdoor seating--I hung out there a bit. Across the street is The Habit. They told me that they have a new freezer just for the Covid Vaccines and plan to administer them here for a long time.

Now that COVID vaccines are much more accessible, I went online to look for an apppointment…read more CVS (not the one in Target) had next-day appointments. I made mine, checked in, was brought back with zero wait time. I never even felt the injection of the first dose. Coming back in two weeks to finish up. Since we all need to be vaccinated, this is a great choice for quick and easy care.

This Walmart is not a Supercenter, likely because it shares the shopping center with a grocery store. They still have soft lines and toys and electronics and a Tire & Lube but very limited food and groceries. The restroom was clean and I checked out the limited selection of RV stuff. I parked the Sprinter van in the area between the Walmart and the grocery store with two or three other motorhomes. It was mostly quiet until the stores closed, then it was completely quiet.

The initial phone call was interrupted by bad connection on their end three times, followed by no updates, unkind employees, and apparently a pharmacist who was out of the office and did not plan accordingly with his staff. I'm really bummed out. I'll try them one more time, but I'm definitely leaning towards going back to Fresno. I hope this place gets their act together.

This pharmacy is the only pharmacy in porterville that has my diabetic medication at this time. I was told by the pharmacist, if I want my medication filled I would have to transfer all my prescriptions to Porterville Pharmacy and then they would fill my Perscription. I get my doctor to send my script over to them and they tell me, in order for them to fill my diabetic medication, I would now have to have my husband also transfer all of his scripts to Porterville Pharmacy on Putnam. Can you spell Extortion! Please don't use this Pharmacy. They think we are stupid people here in porterville. Well, they are going to get one rude awakening. I would love to know how many others they have done this too. Illegal practices to build their business and clientele. Shame on them.

Not a bunch of screaming kids like the other big store across the street. I was surprised last time when I supplied my own bags at checkout the checker scanned all of my items but I had to bag my own things. I'm not sure if that is the norm or if just the way she did things but that's something to be aware of because not everyone wants to bag their own items or can bag their own items. I will say that since their last major remodel I don't think they carry as many items or they may carry more brands but less of each item within that brand. The first time I noticed this was in the hair color aisle, they had several brands but the one I was looking at was missing the entire blonde selections. That was something they carried before the remodel. I will take that with a grain of salt though because there are supply issues still happening but I would think that they would have something after all this time. I highly suggest that everyone download the Target app because if you do want to take the time to add offers you can save quite a bit of money. I wish they would work like some supermarket royalty cards where each week the discounts were just loaded in automatically and if you bought that product you would get the cash back Instead of having to choose the offer and add it to your barcode before you buy. Sometimes scanning the barcodes of every item before you put them in the cart is just taking too much time and if you haven't planned ahead you may not have all of the discounts available loaded onto your app already but again if you can take a few minutes to load the offers in before or during your shopping it really adds up. Curbside pick up is also a plus and it seems to be very popular. Sometimes I think the people out there working are working harder than most of the inside employees. Maybe it just seems that way because I feel sorry for them being out there in this heat but they have always been very pleasant and efficient to work with and I do appreciate that they have this service available. I did rate four stars because of the availability of some of the things in the store not being what they should be and I have had a couple of times where produce such as the bagged salads weren't the freshest, but this will continue to be my favorite store of this type.
