I stopped by here for a few things. They had a makeup pencil that was on my list, but first I had…read moreto find an employee to unlock the case. She hovered while I read labels and considered my purchase. I ended up buying two pencils at around $15 each. After I brought them home, I peeled off the manufacturer's plastic label. Then I had to scrape off the CVS merchandise control stickers, bit by bit, and use Goo-Gone to remove the residue. I doubt I'm the only one who doesn't want ugly, tacky store tags on my products. Really, CVS? You have to lock products away and put nearly unremovable stickers on them? It seems that protecting your bottom line is more important to you than customer experience. I won't be returning.

This is by far, the best-stocked Walgreens of the local Peninsula Walgreens that I have visited…read more The store is huge, well laid-out (easily shop-able), with wide aisles, easy to view shelving, and plenty of inventory. Every other Walgreens that I visit locally are often out of essential toiletries, health & beauty products, and household necessities such as cleaning products, toilet paper, and batteries, but this one has it all. It also has a lot of employees covering the floor, which is helpful to find products or retrieve the locked-up high-theft items such as toothpaste and hair care. They have a very active & centrally located photo counter, which doubles as a customer service counter right by the front entrance facing the El Camino Real. The employees that work at this particular store are plentiful, polite, professional, and helpful (when you ask for help). The store is clean, bright, spacious, and easy to navigate, every section is clearly marked, well-stocked, and organized like a pharmacy should be. Checking out is a different story. The only cashier's/cash register are at the rear of the store facing the parking lot. There is usually only one cashier, despite it getting pretty busy here. I'm not sure why they planned the store with only 1-2 registers that are away from all the action (main entrance, pharmacy, customer service/photo desk), but it's fairly awkward to have to walk all the way to the back of the store to pay, then walk back to the front of the store to exit, it's alot of walking around back & forth, lol. I guess that's one way to get your exercise in, as well as to tempt the customer to make impulse & spontaneous purchases, or so I think. Anyways, the checking out process is perhaps the worst part of this store & its layout. The cashier's never seem well-trained, motivated, or as helpful as the rest of the employees in this store. Maybe it's a hierarchy, seniority, experience thing? I think the overall shopping experience would be better improved with more trained, energetic, and knowledgeable cashiers, that is you last point of contact in this store and it leaves the final impression as you exit this store. The lines get long and sloooow! As to the pharmacy, the line moves along. It is well-staffed, and the support staff is friendly and professional. The lines tend to swell during peak hours (morning, lunchtime, after work) but it moves fairly quickly as there are alot of people working it to move the customers along. The pharmacists are approachable and open to offer help as well as information about your prescriptions. The pharmacy at this branch is very good and I don't mind coming here at all after stopping at the local hospitals & medical clinics found along El Camino Real and San Mateo Drive. Parking is easy in the back with a big, metered parking lot (but you have to pay and it's not cheap). Street parking at the front of the store is a bit more difficult and sparse. Overall, it's a good experience here, I just wish the cashier/checkout/exit line was a bit more efficient and expedient!

In brief - if you do business with them (I hope to never again) please check every invoice and hope you interact with someone other than I did. Having dealt with them for 21 months, Invoices had the incorrect amount billed and over the past 6 months invoices with meds that I should not have been billed were incorrectly invoiced. Now people and companies make mistakes, but the person I dealt with was continuously rude and unwilling to realize they were incorrect until after many months of calls, emails and others having to get involved to help them see they were incorrect. Never received an admittance of error or mistake on their part, just agreement that the amount owed was what I had always said it was. Their business billing side needs training in many ways.

This is a smaller and older CVS, with a tiny and very difficult parking lot. Almost every time I…read morepull into the lot I hit the curb trying to avoid cars going the other way. But that's on me. :) I like the intimacy of this CVS. I know most of the employees and they are always so helpful. No matter how busy it is, they will drop everything to help you. Although their prices can be higher than other stores for some things (get your batteries at Home Depot instead), they are constantly sending coupons though the mail and email and they save serious money!! I've saved $30 on one trip before!! Go ahead and make fun of their receipts, but I love the coupons. They are tailored for what I buy (usually) and save me lots of $$. They're always open when I need them and they have a pharmacy that usually has enough staff to keep people from waiting in line too long. So many things to love about this CVS that they can be forgiven for the right parking.
