There were also two additional staff members and not one person came up to the register while more people were waiting on line. As muggy and hot it was I wasn't waiting any longer and I just left the items there and went to my local Ralph's which was less than a two minute ride. Also might I add most of the soda choices were flat as to why I just stuck with a coke which was the only one decent, not great, but decent.

The only reason I'm upping my one star review to a two star review is based on the excellent sense…read moreof customer service from their pharmacist, Chuka (young black gentleman). He's pretty darn impressive. Recently, the pharmacy, as usual, was short staffed. While waiting in line, I watched Chuka move from customer window to customer window (4 all together) to service the standing customers. He'd not only wait on a particular standing customer, but start whatever process is needed to fulfill the customer's request, then touch base with the other standing customers with updates on their requests. Wow! If I was doing something like that, I'd probably look manic and stressed. Instead, I watched Chuka do all this calmly and in an unrushed way, but still very efficiently gave continued communication to each customer, while their requests were being all fulfilled. I wonder if he's ever tried juggling: I bet he'd be really good at it. Better yet, he probably meditates regularly For some dopey reason, the current AM staff, including the pharmacist (it wasn't Chuka) didn't know anything about "rule of 64". Medical insurance companies allow clients to refill their 90 day prescription supply once 75% of their last refill has been taken. It works out to approximately 64 days; hence the "rule of 64". You can also do early refills for 30 day prescription refills once 75% of days have passed from time of last prescription insurance approval. I had to call CVS three times before they would agree to a refill. On the third call, speaking with the pharmacist, I had to push her to run it through the system for insurance coverage, though 90 days had not yet passed, Surprise: the insurance company immediately approved it. Obviously, this doesn't apply for all medications (eg, narcotics). On a side note: please fix your lotto machine! It's always down.

Marking up products that dramatically feels less like convenience pricing and more like taking advantage of customers. Businesses are free to set their own prices, but consumers are free to decide where to spend their money. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning. It's disappointing to see a business charge such excessive prices and seem perfectly comfortable doing so.

I grew up going to CVS so it never occurred to me to switch pharmacies but I reached a breaking point. Almost every time I call I've had to wait on hold for approximately 40 minutes, sometimes up to an hour. Once I waited on hold for 40 minutes and I asked one question. The pharmacist, Helen, answered and hung up immediately before I had a chance to ask a follow up so I had to wait on hold for another 30 minutes and tell her not to hang up on me so I could get my questions answered. Once I urgently needed a prescription and gave her my doctor's cell. I asked her not to mention to the doctor that I had given it to her because I wasn't sure if that was kosher. The first thing she did is stated my name and that I gave her the doctor's personal cell phone. I know it sounds silly but I always grew up going to chain pharmacies so I didn't realize until someone mentioned it this week that there were local pharmacies. I'm looking forward to trying a local one for a change. read more
