We called Kaiser for medication for our son. They had the prescription sent to the nearest pharmacy…read moresince we were out of town so we picked Walgreens. We went to pick it up once it was ready. The pharmacist said it was $71 and they don't take Kaiser insurance. I told my husband that's too much and we'd wait until we get home. The pharmacist said we could look online for a coupon. She told us about goodrx. I found a coupon for $50 for the medication we needed. I thought it was nice of her to tell us about the coupon/discount site. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. It's still pricey since it would only be $5 with our insurance.

I understand that many people use Yelp as a vehicle to vent or complain, but it'd be nice to get reviews for the things that they do right. I decided to walk off a big Friday night meal by walking here to help a friend find a particular shampoo brand. I found it and decided to browse the refrigerated drink section to get something for my room. It is only two blocks above Cannery Row if you're staying in the area and a good sized parking lot if you're driving in. As I considered using the self checkout my machine, a kind lady behind the counter offered to check me out and did help me. Thank you, Martha, for making me feel welcome. Our discussion sheds light about the community, both safety wise and friendliness.

I first reached out outside of regular hours, but was promptly called back by a pharmacist. We discussed, I took in my Rx, spoke to the pharmacist a little more, and they took it from there. I was given a price range that varied by almost $400 but, once they talked with my vet, it came in at the low end. I was texted for approval of the price, I approved and they filled it quickly. The process took maybe a week, but understandable with one very busy professional having to talk to another very busy professional and a weekend falling in there. The first compounding pharmacy I spoke with (closer to home) immediately turned me away due to potential shortages on "ingredients." Central Avenue Pharmacy took the time to see what could be done and pulled it off for me. Thank you. Zelda and I are very grateful!!

The photo area is always unmanned-- I end up standing there for several minutes before having to track someone down. Customer service is hit or miss, and the checkout lanes remain crowded together with little regard for spacing. My most recent experience was especially frustrating. I stopped in quickly on my way to an event to purchase deodorant, only to find that the barcode wouldn't scan. A passing employee confirmed there was no price in the system at all. After already waiting in line several minutes, this was the final straw-- I left without making a purchase. For such a common item not to even appear in inventory shows a lack of organization and attention to detail. This store gives the impression of being poorly managed and not customer-focused.
