However, I'm sure that CVS keeps the student and staff population well prescribed and toiletried. Actually, maybe a should up the rating as they carry the Sunday New York Times! Starbucks stopped selling papers and I've come up empty at both big Hyvees in recent times, so seeing "All the News that's Fit to Print" smiling at me here was a real bonus. I've come in for other stuff too, mainly related to pain relief, allergy, shaving, dental, etc. You know, the usual that one would expect at CVS, Walgreen's, Rite Aid, etc. There also a nice small parking lot on the Welch Avenue side if you don't want to fight it on the street on Lincoln Way.

This CVS is located in Campus Town and is in a pretty great location, especially for all the…read morestudents. They stay open pretty late and have their own parking lot (for customers only, otherwise get ready to be towed!) so that's always a plus! The staff is nice and always willing to assist. Sometimes it seems like they're a bit understaffed, especially in the evenings. Nevertheless, a good store for your basic everyday needs.

Somerset is only a short drive from my parent's house and when we walked in, Mom and Jake were chatting amiably on a first name basis.

The footprint of the old store is on one end of the parking lot, while the new facility was built over to the North and at a 90 degree angle to the old one. This Walmart Supercenter remains convenient to my Dad's house in North Ames. I don't go into a Walmart unless I have a list or I'm going with someone. Last week I was with my Dad as I helped him through a modest shopping list. There's 2 main doors - Department store to the left and grocery to the right. In between and inside is a confusing array of aisles and stuff. Dad knew exactly where he was going, while I was continually trying to find my bearings. I ended up purchasing some travel toiletries and was happy to call it a shopping day. Dad checked out with a real person, while I met him at the door after purchasing my items at self-serve.

But the process of how they have appointments and not able keep your appointment is ridiculous.. get your oil changed anywhere else. But at Walmart in Boone, Iowa

There are employees constantly making sure everything stays that way. Unfortunately, because of the mass quantity of stock, the quality is sometimes overlooked; mainly in the produce section. The produce can be hit or miss whether or not it's gone bad and just hasn't been pulled or is good with a few "bad apples". The samples are definitely a nice touch while shopping and the employees handling them tend to know about the products, thankfully. Some employees seem to do everything they can to avoid being asked a question, while others go out of their way to help you, so service can be hit or miss as well. The food court is great! Lol. The low prices for the food are awesome and the food tastes great, so win-win there! Overall, this is a clean store with quite a bit to choose from, I just wish the fresh produce was better kept up with as well as the employee interactions.

That often includes a trip to Walmart (wine, cat litter, etc.), the Bank, take him to appointments, and in this case arrange to get that walker fixed.

Next time the walker goes out, a full replacement will be required of which Choice Medical has a number of options. I'm happy to help out and really appreciated the guy who fixed the walker.
