The big pharmacies are pathetic now...operating by AI robotic phone attendants that can't get information right, zero customer service, out of meds, dirty facility, unfriendly service, very very difficult to reach a HUMAN, and prices way higher! I desperately needed special yet very standard Tobradex antibiotic eyedrops...CVS didn't have them in stock, Von's didn't have them in stock (at least you can reach a human at Von's however!) but North Coast had the drops and at $85 vs CVS @ $260..what?!? Crazy. North Coast has great people who actually care and really hustled to get my prescription transferred from the out-of-stock CVS's to their pharmacy in record time and on a Saturday! Shout out to the best pharmacy in all of San Diego!

I was struggling to find three different not so familiar products for an older client of mine and she went over and above to help me find them. She helped me to the right aisle and for one obscure product she used the CVS app to find where it was located and made sure I found it. I was so grateful for her help saving me so much time of wandering the aisles. I would have been there a long time without her help! Afterwards, I learned she didn't even work in pharmacy, but the beauty section, and yet she went out of her way to help me. She was very pleasant as well. I was so grateful for a positive experience at CVS and Kristen's amazing help!

I explained to her that I previously called the prior week and was waiting for this out of stock item so now I'm officially out of my medicine. I told her when I got the medicine home it was something totally different and not even the generic form of what I needed. She told me I should have opened the brown bag before I left the store and made sure it was correct (I've never had to do that). Now I'm out of my correct medicine and stuck paying for something I never ordered and she said I can't return. When I asked to please speak to a manager she claimed she was the manager and hung up on me! When I called back the next day, I spoke to a man by the name of Dominic who couldn't have been any nicer. He apologized profusely and apologized for the incorrect prescription. He told me that my normal prescription was out of stock and he had no idea why Malika didn't tell me that or why she filled something completely different without my consent. He was nice enough to tell me that another local CVS had what I needed. I went there and they had my prescription filled the same day.

The pharmacy actually lied as my bottle only had four pills in it. I will not do business with the pharmacy again.

I took a seat and waited. 15mins later the staff wondered i whether I was waiting on prescription which was a bit strange. Then 5 mins later they said it was ready. They only prepared one item and I told them I wanted both. Asked to take a seat again. Another 10mins they came back and said they didn't have the other item in stock. Would have been nice they would have said so in the first place rather than try to send me off with one item when two were requested. Considering they made a guy in crutches have to go back and forth to the counter to go over their errors, it's fair to say that was far from ideal. In the end, they directed my Rx to another pharmacy and I got my meds the next day

It honestly seems counterintuitive to leave a review being that their rating is so low and the…read morestandards there are just awful. And I don't necessarily mean from a service standpoint because I feel great empathy for the employees. It's the company's lack of care for the customer experience overall. From pharmacy to convenience store, they are terrible. Overpriced, out of stock, under trained, unreliable, inconsistent, and do not care. Selling bad gift cards, damaged goods, expired convenience grabs like milk (if they have it in stock) and expired health care and wellness vitamins and supplements. It's deplorable! You never know if your item was merchandised correctly so always have to triple check the size and brand against the signage, can't trust that it is going to ring up at the correct price. They're the only drive thru pharmacy left since Walgreens and Rite-Aid both closed but it is hit or miss whether it's open or not. The phone system is terrible, literally impossible to speak directly with a human and they have the worst inventory control ever. Can't keep 4x6 photo paper in stock for their very busy 1 hour photo business... More importantly, they're out of prescription medication all the time too. How irresponsible to be out of stock on life-saving prescriptions, especially for patients who have regularly monthly refills that are easily tracked by a POS system. They should never be out of stock unless all manufacturers are out of stock but it happens all of the time. Planning systems easily predict buying needs to near perfection, evading loss and keeping stores stocked even in the event of an influx of use. Why aren't patients needs top priority? And why is the restock time unpredictable and unreliable and often requiring the patient to follow up via a phone system that doesn't work?! As one of the largest Distributors of drugs, having bought up so much market share why aren't they being held accountable to responsible health care? Gelsons was amazing... closed. Vons was great.... Closed I really don't like anything CVS because of how much joy & time I know they're going to suck from me every time. They even make shopping for greeting cards miserable. (Horrible selection and disorganized) Hard Pass!

The folks working in the pharmacy had already closed and locked up shop early and were heard giggling behind the screens. I had hurried down there after work to pick up important medication I need immediately. I even called to check on my way, and knew they'd be closed Thursday. All I got was the token "sorry we're closed now" and not even a person sticking their head out the door to see my distress and maybe help me find an alternative pain reliever since the two packages they had right there waiting for me were too much trouble for them to hand off. I will not be using this pharmacy again.
