If you want to be treated like a nuisance get your vaccination here. I made an appointment here with my mother to get her covid booster after the first appointment was canceled without notification due to the CVS pharmacy in target in wanesboro closing because of staffing issues. I was upset that there was no notification, not because it was closed. That was understandable because there is a labor shortage. That is especially true of pharmacists. We arrived at the churchville avenue location a bit early for her appointment. The clerk was obviously and entirely uninterested and unsympathetic about what happened with the wanesboro store. We were asked to produce insurance information. We were unaware that the government had stopped subsidizing covid shots, so there was some confusion about this, regardless we attemped to gather the information. We were asked to wait for the pharmacist. The pharmacist was also entirely unsympathetic about the canceled appointment and actually DEFENDED the management at the target store citing the pharmacist shortage, which shouldn't have mattered because once again the problem wasn't that the appointment was canceled due to lack of staff, but that it was canceled without notice. Apparently they were able to pull up her insurance information because the pharmacist was prepared to administer the shot. We were not aware that they had her insurance information and asked the pharmacist about the situation with the insurance and that we were under the impression that it was supposed to be a free (government subsidized) shot. One of the team members at the wanesboro target store had said so. (I'm unsure if they were a pharmacist or a clerk.) She said that it wasn't a free shot and that that's why they needed the insurance information. She was being impatient saying things like "is this gonna be your right or left arm I haven't got all day" which was ridiculous because of the lack of communication. she thought she was going to have to pay out of pocket and needed to know that she wasn't before proceding. I am fuming at this point and tell my mother that we just need to leave and that I wasn't going to stay and see her treated this way anymore, but she went through with it anyway. The pharmacist saying things like "it's a free shot I'm not going to sit here and argue with you about it" I flipped that bitch the bird on my way out.
I am a very understanding person. I understand that covid has made it difficult to have a full staff, but that is EVERY industry right now NOT JUST YOURS, and it does not give you the right to treat people badly! if we had been shown even an OUNCE of sympathy during our visit here I would have been happy, but never in my life have I ever felt as strongly about never visiting a business again. I will drive 30 minutes out if my way if it means I never have to set foot in a cvs again. read more
