Avoid this pharmacy at all costs - go ANYWHERE else but here! I live right next door to this place and after years of patronage, I was mortified at how I was treated on Oct. 19, 2018, a day I'll NEVER forget: My daughters whom I haven't seen in 34 years were arriving from California in 2 hours so I wanted to appear as handsome as I could by adding some color to my hair at 10 a.m. I went next door to this pharmacy and selected a hair color from their extremely limited variety, and when I tried to pay for the $4 (FOUR DOLLAR) box, their internet was "down" so they couldn't process my credit card payment. I understand this can happen sometimes but Alex, the pharmacist (who knows me for years) REFUSED to allow me to take the box and pay later. So I searched my pockets and found $2 in between my gold badge and city ID (I'm a NYC employee with a badge) which meant that I was only $2 (TWO DOLLARS) short but Alex STILL refused to allow me to have the $4 box of hair dye! He cited he could not trust me or anyone to come back and pay the $2 balance even though I've lived in the same apartment, right next door, for 25 YEARS! Never having any kind of problem with this place or this Russian immigrant Alex, I was literally in absolute shock that after all the prescriptions and over-the-counter items I've purchased there over the years, he wouldn't trust me to return with two dollars! He kept saying, "It isn't my store" as if that was supposed to make it alright for him to treat me so horrendously after so many years of faithful patronage. True, I never spent a LOT of money there because my city job provides my prescriptions via mail order, but there were many times I've had my scripts filled there as well as occassional common item purchases. There was absolutely no history of anything negative between us to cause this "person" to treat me so badly. I can't remember when I was more insulted in my life. By the expression on their faces, even the employees seemed shocked by this. For only $2, this place wins the ultimate WORST PHARMACY EVER award and I hope and pray this review is read by many local folks who are now forewarned to avoid this place if at all possible. I walked across the street, jumped on a bus to St. Nicholas, and within minutes found myself at a beauty supply house that stocked every hair color imaginable and my daughters arrived seeing their dad for the first time, and looking good. Since I've lived here for decades, I know very many local people so you can be sure the readers of this review will not be the only folks hearing about this - I am on a campaign to advise every local person I encounter to avoid Omega Pharmacy. I swear to God I can hardly believe this actually happened to me over two single dollar bills! Whomever actually owns Omega Pharmacy should rid themselves of perhaps the worst pharmacist of all time due to his lack of American customer service skills. read more
