Long lines every day and crabby staff. They used to be great, and have declined the past couple years.

I was helped by a woman employee I believe is named Rena…read more She helped me locate an item on the sales floor and did the sale. There seemed to be something wrong with the computer system but she stayed calm, friendly, and helpful with me and other Customers. I think she does a great job!

Went in this CVS location to pick up my script and decided to check to see if I could refill…read moreanother script. Spoke to Debbie who informed me that I could do a refill but that it might not be in stock and how hard it is to get this medication, yada yada yada. So I tell her ok as long as I can submit the refill request, no problem. Not even 30 min later I get a text notification telling me my refill is ready for pick up. I'm so mad at this point because I've already driven back home. Called the store to speak with someone about what happened, and got Mike. I explained to Mike what took place and he said all he could do was speak with her "Debbie". Mind you this was around 2:30 this afternoon which is not peak line time and "Debbie" could have done the decent thing and checked to see if the script was in stock. I would have most appreciated the option to wait, to minimize the number of trips I make back and forth. Basically, if you think you are a long time valued customer here, you're not. Also, if you place refill request in store , be sure to ask if it's in stock if you don't want to make several trips back and forth.

Today, I'm in the mood to write good reviews for all the nearby pharmacies that I frequent after…read morehaving a terrible experience at the Walgreens on Broadway. I realize I took these other pharmacies for granted. In comparison, this CVS and the Walgreens on El Camino have (in my experience) had consistently decent customer service and have always been well stocked. This CVS seems to frequently ask for customer service feedback after each visit. I commend CVS on making an effort to improve their customer service experience. I always feel welcome and greeted by the associates working at this store and the workers seem helpful when I ask questions. Their pharmacy staff is not as friendly, especially the same two people who work with customers...but they are OK. The interactions with them do not dissuade me from visiting this store. Probably out of all the nearby pharmacies, this one is my favorite both for vaccines and quick and friendly service.

as a provider calling a script in for a patient that is traveling to California this has been by…read morefar the worst CBS I have ever dealt with the pharmacist. Asher was not checking the messages and mine was called in almost 3 hours earlier. Finally while I was calling in the script for the second time and he kept telling me talk slower talk slower talk slower my patient was trying to let me know. Oh it's taken care of. They finally listen to the messages which was three hours later I wouldn't even give this Pharmacy a one star rating but that's what you have to give. It won't allow a zero star rating, but I'll keep it as clean as I can. This CVS sucks.. Cynthia Stock FNP from Missouri

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.

This is not the first time his happened but 3rd regarding a print job for SAME DAY ORDER. Put order…read morein and says will be done by certain time, it's not. I even have a 3 hour late window and still fails. I literally tried calling before going down. No one picks up phone except Pharmacy who can only apologize and transfer me back. After 12 minutes and multiple calls (see photo), still unsuccessful. Go into the store and ask when will it be done. Staff member said "I don't know" and I adk can you give me general idea... same response then pause. Wait for it... "Oh for sure tomorrow..." Um that's NOT same day then. I think I have been more than patient and understanding but my business is lost. I had over $500 in gift cards to buy but I'd rather purchase them somewhere else.
