Since Shipt shoppers can now shop at CVS stores, I've had two times here just recently where I needed to shop here for someone else. Although the first time was a bit alarming (about a month ago), two days ago I ended up doing some shopping for that same customer. Both times I felt out of touch with acknowledging the setup of this store, and today I went in again to really get things moving.
I thought I wasn't going to buy anything when I first walked in, but when I saw just what I was missing from another local CVS nearer me, I knew I was in for a treat. Every time I went in, I always meet up with Susan at the register, and although she doesn't know who I am without my name (I'm just a Shipt Shopper to her), she recognized me on yesterday's visit and even on today's visit when I tried to really visualize the places layout.
After going around and looking for items I might need to buy and really "outlining" the store in my mind, I decided it was well organized and had to buy something to not look like I had nothing in mind on their store's camera. But although the first thing I had put in my cart today was a "pill fob caddy" (for my key chain), I bought several things.
When I got up to the register, I thought all CVS were created equal. They're not. I placed the order down on the counter and had to enter my own ExtraCare card number into the machine. All fine and dandy up to this point. Susan rang up the order - much like any other order, and after placing my own debit card in the card reader, I knew that I would be expecting a digital receipt. (Anytime I enter my rewards, I'm told I'm only getting a digital receipt.) Apparently, not here at this CVS, I'm afraid. When I told Susan what I knew from other stores "it's okay - I'm getting a digital receipt", she told me "What? Do you still want your printed receipt?" Although I'm still awaiting my digital receipt in my email, I'm glad I asked for the printed one to come.
Can you please update your systems so that your ExtraCare card system is the same across all stores? Because this one didn't reflect the new system for my digital receipt, and I would have preferred the digital one (trying to go paperless, but I don't mind the occasional papered receipt).
The store is pretty large - although not as large as some of them out there else. It's aisles though need to be expanded. The aisles felt a bit cramped, and especially near aisles containing food and seasonal items, there are some that I felt my cart wasn't going to fit through and it just felt cramped.
Oh, by the way. The one cart I originally was pushing had a slight "tweak" sound as I went down the aisles. But when I went back into the entrance hallway to exchange it, I noticed that there are several types of carts - some wider and some deeper, while some aren't very wide at all. There are some up there in that hallway that seem broken that have been bent (where the cart back is "stuck" above the top of the cart). Can you also standardize the size of these carts and pull any "broken" carts off the "line" and out of your store? Sorry, but's one of my pet peeves for when I'm shopping either my own - or someone else's order...and I just had to mention it here instead. read more
