Most recently I was notified by Walgreens that I had a prescription to pick up. The issue? It was to be picked up at my old Walgreens in Pembroke Pines. I had to call to get it transferred.

Very pleased to not have to wait forever to pick up medication. A bit annoyed that the pharmacy has limited hours. I believe they close at 9 PM on weekdays, and coming from South Florida, I'm still not used to everything closing so early.

When I first moved here, I was so excited to see a CVS Store/Pharmacy so close to home. Now I wish…read morethere was another, more convenient option. The cashiers in the regular part of the store are very friendly and pretty helpful. The pharmacy aspect of this store however, completely sucks. As previous reviews have stated, the pharmacy service at the Lake Ella location is incredibly SLOW. It is like there is NO hustle, or any interest in establishing an order or pace. For one, there is no place to form an actual queue or line. This results in the customers all being very unsure as to who is waiting for what and who is next in line. I have firsthand witnessed customers getting into arguments and bickering about who was waiting longer and who was there for what purpose. That is flat out RIDICULOUS. And to have such discord result while picking up or dropping off prescriptions is 100% CVS' fault. PERIOD. However, the main reason for me deciding to write this review is due to this CVS Pharmacy manager's decision to close the pharmacy portion of the store EARLY. I arrived around 5:58 p.m. on a Saturday. First, I had NO clue that the pharmacy closes at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The CVS marquee indicates that they are open until Midnight but apparently that is just the store itself, which is quite misleading if you ask me. Either way, when I arrived into the pharmacy area (prior to 6 p.m.), the entire prescription drop-off gate was down. That was when it suddenly dawned on me that there was a chance that this place was about to be closed. I was immediately grateful to have arrived while they were still serving customers. There was one customer being helped, and about 3 workers behind the counter. I was the only person waiting. The female manager who was helping an elderly customer, paused and asked her employee to see what I needed - if I was "picking something up". I indicated that I was indeed picking up one prescription, to which the manager interjected that it was too late and that I would have to come back tomorrow. I politely advised her that I really needed the medication to take first thing in the morning and that it was actually a FREE prescription (how long could that possibly take?). Regardless, at any other CVS, there would be no questions asked - so long as someone was waiting for service and arrived before closing time - they would be helped. Instead, the manager argued with me about the ability to pick up my prescription because it was after 6:00 p.m., and told me that my only other option was to contact a different CVS (located about 8 miles away), and have them fill it for me to pick-up that night. I rolled my eyes and ultimately left the store. This store is ALWAYS busy, and clearly I can see why. Of course you will always be busy when you limit your hours by arbitrarily deciding to close early and are routinely turning customers away. CVS Corporate needs to hear about this but I'm hopeful that they'll peruse these reviews on their own, as I've already expended enough of my energy.
