They didn't even look at the prescription. It's not my particular prescription, they don't compound any prescriptions. Why then have a sizable write-up under "services" offered? "Specialty Compounding The goal of compounding is to unite past and present by bringing a timeless artisan skills into the modern age through the use of current medical knowledge and cutting edge technology. This allows highly trained and experienced professionals to make personalized medications tailored to an individual patient's needs. Compounding itself is a fundamental aspect of the pharmacist's toolkit, and had been the standard way of producing prescription medication up until mass production became the primary means of manufacture. WHAT IS COMPOUNDING? Compounding provides patients with medications that are tailor-made for their needs. Benefits of compounding include access to doses that are not commercially available, alternative dosage forms to improve compliance, and access to allergy-friendly medications. Compounding allows providers and pharmacists to more effectively..." Why waste everyone's time -- not to mention my parking fees and gas?

I've been to this CVS Pharmacy at Emory Village a couple times. It's a suburban-sized CVS that's…read moreopen 24 hours. Free parking can be hard to come by in Emory Village because of all the restaurants (and retail businesses) and limited parking lots in the immediate area. Luckily, if you're a customer of this CVS, you can park in their free and relatively spacious lot directly outside. Just don't walk off the property after shopping here or you'll get booted or towed. I last stopped by this CVS to pick up a tube of "After Bite" ($4.99 for 20 grams) for a mysterious bug bite/sting I sustained earlier in the day. The cream really didn't help much. It was disappointing. So much for the "Instant Relief!" advertised on the box. I think perhaps my bite/sting was too severe for the cream to help. In hindsight, I probably wouldn't have bought it. The store was clean, brightly lit, well-stocked, and compactly and efficiently organized. The staff was friendly and they greeted customers as they walked in. When you're ready to pay, you can have an employee ring you up or you can use one of multiple self-checkout stations. I went with the latter and had no problems. In the end, I think this CVS is A-OK (3 stars), but I'm bumping it up to 4 stars because it's open 24/7 and the staff was nice.

They have a really inefficient process that requires the customer to wait in line to get their prescription, then go wait in another line to get the rebate/discount, then go back to the first line to pay. Other pharmacies allow you to accomplish more than one thing after waiting in line.

I avoid Walmart because shopping there is generally an awful experience but I needed moving boxes…read moreand my local hardware store was out of stock. I looked at their website and they showed them in stock and if you buy 10 you get a small discount instead of buying them individually. I went in dreading the visit but ran into a helpful person in the front who directed me to stationery. After wandering around a while I found an employee who said they're actually in hardware. I found the boxes but couldn't find and banded sets of ten so I assumed the volume discount would apply. I went to the self checkout registers and asked the employee if they needed to multiply my order by ten for the volume discount to apply. They said, no, just scan in all of them and the discount will appear as the end. When it didn't discount I showed the employee and she wouldn't fix it so I asked for a manager. After a few minutes he showed up and flatly refused to honor the online price unless I went home and placed a pickup order, then drove back to get my discount. I declined and drove to a hardware store that had moving boxes even cheaper so it worked out well. Every few years I try walmart to see if anything has changed but they're always consistently awful experiences. This time I've learned my lesson and I'll never shop at one again, so thanks for that.

This one student tech was so rude that twice is enough for me to get my prescriptions filled elsewhere. And at the front/general area of the store... Multiple times my items have rung up incorrectly.
