The pharmacist was a foreign bald dude with a slight beard. He should be fired. Was not willing to help with my prescription and clearly does not care about his job or the people his job is intended to cater for. My physician gave me an additional discount for my prescription that works at any CVS. I kindly asked the lady dealing with me if she would be able to apply the discount card. The man immediately interjected and said "We close at 7. Tomorrow." He then followed up with: "you have good insurance. You don't need more discount." Absolute A-Hole comment. Clearly is not happy with his job or life. I ended up just paying the difference because I did not want to deal with him or get into an argument. Truthfully ruined my day. They could've said no and been nice about it and given a reasonable explanation as to why they wouldn't accept it. But the rudeness and attitude was really over the top and is why I am writing this review. Do not go here unless you want to have your day ruined by rude people.

I like to show grace whenever possible, so even when I have to go on Yelp to write about a bad experience, I try to be fair and constructive. But you know, I'm also human. First of all, the employee named Raheem either needs to be re-trained or has to be let go. I don't like calling out employees by name in reviews unless it's for good service but Raheem made me feel so uncomfortable that I'm forced to go public like this in the hope that it will foster change. Until Raheem rung up my merchandise, I had never had a retail experience -- at CVS or other stores -- where I was pressured to accept a subscription. Raheem was giving me the hard sell for the CVS CarePass, by giving me a song and dance about how CVS recognizes that Americans are going through hard times right now and that the company wants to help the community by giving away ten dollars off each total purchase. Blah blah blah. I'm not naive. We've all gone through our fair share of sales pitches for rewards clubs. But Raheem was going for it hard like he was the used care salesman of the CVS world. It was horrific. He wouldn't take No for an answer. He just kept going on and on about things like "But you can take the ten dollars now and cancel tomorrow." And in my head I was thinking, "I don't want to cancel tomorrow. I don't want to do ANYTHING that I DO NOT WANT to do tomorrow." In fact, I was very close to spitting out a lecture about consent. Instead, I just politely smiled and said variations of "no" with increasing firmness. And all the while, my mom was standing next to me, not knowing what to do. What's the moral of this story? That bad customer service experiences happen? Maybe. But the other moral of the story might be that you never know what a customer is going through, so learn to read the room -- or at least try not to make hard sells. You see, the thing is, this CVS is located within a 20 minute walk from MedStar Georgetown. I can only imagine how many people like my mom and I shop there: we are family members of a patient currently hospitalized at MedStar Georgetown. My dad had a stroke and he was helicoptered there from our home hospital in the suburbs to get better treatment. We got a hotel nearby so it would be easier to get to my dad every day during the early stages of his recovery. By the time we were at CVS tonight, we were tired and hungry after a long day of caring for my dad, and we had a lot of merchandise that needed to be rung up. The last thing we needed was Raheem making us feel like crap because we didn't want to accept his offer. While I'm on the subject, I didn't like the way Raheem's coworker -- a man whose name I didn't get, sadly -- scoldingly told me to take all my stuff out of my basket. On the one hand, I understand. But on the other, if you're gonna come at me like that for protocol, maybe you should keep the basket holders closer to the registers. What is the customer supposed to do when you snap at them to take all their stuff out of the basket? Trudge all the way over to the front doors in the middle of a transaction to replace the basket in the one basket holder in the whole store?! Is the cashier going to take the basket back from me after I empty it and place it behind the register? No instruction provided whatsoever. Just take your stuff out. If I wanted this kind of treatment, I would go shopping in the slums of my home country. "Show me your pockets!" I hate writing a review like this in which the antagonists are BIPOC folks. But you know the saying. Not all skin folk are kin folk. Avoid this CVS. Especially when you have loved ones at MedStar Georgetown. You will be demeaned and belittled far beneath whatever medical crisis has already sunk you to your lowest low.

I have a chronic disease and was at my wit's end, so stressed out about getting ill while out of town. The pharmacist did a tremendous amount of work to get my 8 prescriptions ready, with 3-day supplies of each, explaining the situation to my insurance company, so that they would allow the emergency fills. His name was Joe and this was on 5/19/2023. He was an amazing example of professional courtesy and expertise and I will not soon forget his kindness. Thank you, Joe!
