    A horribly inefficient pharmacy. In Amherst, with the exception of Walmart and Stop & Shop, theonly…read morepharmacies are CVS. I am shocked at how poorly managed this pharmacy is... And pretty much at all locations. They are always understaffed. I'm sure it's difficult to anticipate when there will be rushes in the store. But honestly, couldn't they figure out how to put redundant staff to work doing other things in the store during unexpected slow times? Also, the CVS on N. Pleasant St. in Amherst has over 30 parking spaces in the back specifically for Cvs Pharmacy shoppers. Yet just about every single time I go there all the spaces are taken up. And when I go into the store, with the exception of staff, there are two people in the store! When I inquired at the pharmacy about the situation, I was told that they were aware and there have been many complaints but people just park there and then goshopping around town and that there was nothing they could do to monitor it. They didn't have the resources to monitor it. Why do they bother having the spaces if no one can ever park there.?!CVS should just suck it up and figure out what to do about that for the convenience of their customers.! As many people have commented, the receipts there are utterly ridiculous and there is no reason why the receipts can't be put "on your card" instead of handing you this waste of trees every single time you go there. Who really uses these coupons? Their computer system is also a disaster... Frequently calling your home to tell you that there are multiple prescriptions ready just to go there and find out there are no prescriptions ready. Perhaps due to the understaffing of the pharmacy, the staff can be pretty abrupt. I'm changing my pharmacy to any other place I can find. Cvs Pharmacy also donates greatly to the Trump campaign. Another reason not to have anything to do with them. If you're a big Trump fan then I invite you to enjoy your visits to Cvs Pharmacy.

    Worst ever!! They take lunch breaks early! I usually use the pharmacy on university dr. But they…read morewere out of amoxicillin for my 7 month old. So I rushed over here w my baby in tow, just to get a sign thrown in my face. Out to lunch. So now I'm sitting in the parking lot w my screaming 7 month old w a double ear infection waiting for someone to help me. I walked in at 1:29 and was basically laughed at by a heavy older man behind the counter. I'm not sure why the power trip is so necessary these days but it's disgusting. Zero consideration, for me, my baby, our situation. I would leave zero stars if I could. It's now 2:01 and they're still closed! I'm a minute early and you tell me no- now you're a minute late and it's like deal because I'm at your mercy. Sickening
