3 stars is nice of me considering how I’ve been treated. I’ve found some better deals with CVS for my particular prescriptions. The website seems disconnected from the actual pharmacy like they have different goals. I want to give 1 star for the website. The pharmacy has issues but gets the job done at some point. One of the worst things is adding prescription I’m allergic to or that I need removed. Then would be the website not letting me remove my credit card so I can update to my current one. I wouldn’t trust them with a bank card only credit. I’m doing less and less shopping there and prescriptions.

I was calling to see if my prescription was filled before I left my house, I stay 20 minutes away from the one my medicine was sent to, I was still on hold while I walked into CVS. I let the pharmacy cashier know that I was on hold for an hour. She stated that they was busy. Only one guy in line ahead of me. I thought that was so rude of them keeping me on hold for such a long time and I still was missing one medication.

I walked with a cane. They saw me standing in line, and they were having trouble with the customer in front of me, so they opened up another cashier. Very kind and thoughtful. There were only 3 people in line, yet because the line wasn't moving they asked another cashier to wait on me. I viewed that as excellent customer service, I had already stood in line at the pharmacy earlier, so this was appreciated.

Poor customer service. No one returns calls from customer services. District manager lied and closed case. The store CVS Pharmacy at 2992 Cranberry Highway is an East Wareham. I placed a call about my medicine. No one answers the phone. Called the customer relations line - 800-746-7287 (5 days and still no call). Keep getting the go-around no one returns calls. Switching to Walgreens.

I understand that CVS understaffs its pharmacies, overworks what little staff they have, and pays them bupkis, so it's pretty reasonable that their employees aren't exactly motivated to do a good job, but: god just once I'd like to get my meds without them being a complete nightmare. EVERY SINGLE MONTH they screw up my prescriptions, they're constantly out of my medication so I have to wait 3-4 days on average to get it, I can't talk to anybody on the phone, a manager once falsely accused me of shoplifting in front of the entire store and wouldn't apologize after the cashier told him I'd paid, etc. These are medications that people NEED, they can get sick--hell, even DIE--having to wait to get them. They've made my dad wait for days to get his insulin! Like, it's SERIOUS, you can't be this disorganized and neglectful when it involves people's HEALTH! Pay your employees enough to care, CVS, for the love of god!

The pharmacy clerks are the rudest people for no reason. They want you out of there without you being able to ask questions. When you ask something, they rudely say I don't know anything about that, you'll need to go somewhere else & ask... It's as if we're bothering them. Every time I've been in there, different people have been behind the counter & have the same demeaning, rude & dismissive attitude. What is wrong with these people? I want my Mother to go somewhere else so I don't get their abuse.

I have been a loyal CVS customer for over 20 years and they finally lost my account. CVS has been going downhill for the last 5 years, all items in the store are overpriced including prescriptions, they badger their customers with texts and emails, and the pharmacy is a total joke! Now their service is terrible too. I will no longer give them extra money to treat me like garbage!

I have a script in for more than a week at local CVS; was told by a rep. that CVS cannot bill Medicare for lancets if patient test more than 3 times a day; then spoke face to face to a pharmacist at the store and was told, "We do handle these situations but the issue is the script no IAW Medicare bla bla bla." Called again to check on status. Another pharmacist (on the phone) J. told me that they do not bill Medicare if you test more than 3 times and that they had new pharmacists that do no know CVS policy. Looks like a rudderless ship. As a patient I had filled my scripts for the same item at CVS with no issues before. Now you are forcing me to look for a different pharmacy and are wasting my time and not helping. Does CVS accept Medicare for ** supplies (DMEs) or not? Why all the confusion in the store?

Already very high priced and now customers have to do self-checkout? My hope is that CVS customers drop CVS and go with Walgreens as me and my family will be doing... including changing over our prescriptions. And keep in mind...now the wait in line will be that much longer too...but obviously CVS doesn't care that they are disrespecting their customers by not giving the service they deserve. This review is not about people not knowing how to run the self-checkout...it is bigger than that. It's the principle! What exactly are you doing for your faithful customers? Nothing! Goodbye CVS! Hello Walgreens! If enough of us customers follow suit in this, perhaps CVS will see a drop in sales and change this idiotic idea...or go under.

The pharmacist Stacey A ** at the store in Daytona Beach Shores is not competent in pharmaceuticals or customer care. My prescription for insulin was written by my Doctor whose handwriting is illegible or difficult to read. She was impatient and refused to fill the script and told me to find another pharmacy or another Doctor if I wanted my medication. I switched to Walgreens where the pharmacists are trained professionals.

The CVS in York is horrible. They do not answer the phone, they simply ignore it, and admit that. The staff is rude. They told me Saturday (in person-the pharmacist himself) my refill would be ready Monday. It was not ready at 5:00pm, no call to tell me they were out of it. I can't call to inquire because they don't answer their phones! Waited in line 15 minutes to find out they don't have it. Nothing remotely like an apology-just "It's not my fault". I've used them over 10 years, and countless times they have made mistakes, been rude, contradict themselves or flat out lie. As of today, I moved all my prescriptions elsewhere. Others should avoid this terrible store. Ironically, they have a big sign that says "Pharmacists that care." That is NOT true. While typing this I have been on hold with the corporate feedback line for over 12 minutes!!!! At the top, they also don't care.

I scheduled a Covid test for traveling. The first one I took was on a Saturday, Monday I still did not receive results. Monday I scheduled a rapid test. I sat outside for two hours waiting to be told they would not do my rapid test because I on the website I inadvertently hit the wrong button. After talking to three different people over the course of two hours. They turned me away, they were rude and had absolutely no sympathy for the time that I was sitting there or the action that they did not take.

The pharmacy would not not give me price without a call from my doctor. The CVS pharmacy told me that with my CVS card I will only pay deductible. After my Doctor called them, they still would not give me the price until checkout. The price was $120 and they charge me $60x 3 = $180. I went there to return the bottles without opening them. But they refused to give my money back. Costco wants $20 for this.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I recently purchased 2 Covid19 test kits at a price of $83.06. After it was announced that the federal government would be sending kits to consumers at no cost, I returned to the store 3 days later for a refund of the unopened boxes. Even though CVS return policy guarantees a refund within 60 days for non prescription purchases, I was refused a refund. Any business is a risk reward situation. CVS miscalculated the government response to the situation and is practicing POOR customer service/relations policy by passing the responsibility for their mistake on to loyal customers like myself. Eating the cost of the covid test kit inventory is THEIR cost of doing business NOT the consumer's. I've shopped at CVS for over 20 years. I'm a loyal CVS customer. I will refrain from doing so ever again. Social media can be a powerful resource. Word of mouth is a powerful influence.

Best Covid breeding place ever! Stood in line at the pharmacy counter line with at least 15 other customers while the pharmacy was staffed with 1 person at the register and 6 people fumbling around with hundreds of prescriptions scattered around the small area. I waited in line for 15 minutes and when I finally spoke to the person at the register, I was told my prescription was not ready but she’d expedite things. I was told to wait at least another 15 minutes.
I immediately asked for the store manager (**); at that point, the other 2 registers were staffed with 2 employees who amongst the group sorting through mounds of prescription. The line started to move. When I spoke with **, I expressed my concerns, he graciously answered/responded to the issues that I pointed out. He informed me that he had 8 employees out due to Covid and I commented - well, the risks increases when so many people are grouped into a small area. I won’t be returning to CVS 14220 Schleisman Rd, Eastvale, CA 92880. There are too many pharmacy choices in the area that’ll make me feel that I’m served better and won’t take my business for granted. Don’t waste your time going to CVS!

My wife and I, we are 75, could have received a call from the pharmacist that our diabetic medication is finally ready and, having had a good previous experience, I asked the pharmacist by name about every medication if there would be any problems and time if it was better to pick up the order. The next day we were told to come up for 15 minutes and we received part of the order, then we were expecting one more medication. As a result, we were forced to wait for more than two hours and everything was supported by abuse and outright groaning on the part of the staff, especially from supervisor Tina.
At home, we found out that touch lancets alone are not compatible and we are forced to return the next day. I repeat again, everything went through in a mocking manner. I have to called customer relation twice and asked for help, they promised someone woold call back 24-48 hrs., but no one called. Asked my doctor redirect the prescription to Walgreens, and today my wife received medication. Better to stay away from CVS.

They do not answer their phone. People aren't calling the pharmacy to chit chat - we are generally calling to get or give info about life saving or life altering medications.

Absolutely the most incompetent, rude, lazy, and undertrained staff literally anywhere. This CVS incorrectly filed my prescription with an old insurance that I did not even have in 2019 by searching my name through some database only they use instead of running my correct insurance. It took numerous phone calls and 3 days of hassle back then to straighten it out. Went to Urgent Care tonight and was diagnosed with untreated Strep that has spread through my system causing secondary infection and rash.
They sent 4 prescriptions to this CVS to try to get them filled tonight because of how much it is spreading and what do they do but repeat the exact same error from 2 years ago and lock up my insurance again. When I advised the pharmacist that they did this before and nowhere else has any issues the male "pharmacist", who very unprofessionally looked like a lumberjack who just got out of bed, got an attitude with me stating, "we'll see" when I asked him to send it to Walmart. Every single person in the pharmacy here needs to be fired. Also, why does only this CVS have some system that pulls up insurance you don't even have??

Booked Covid booster appointment some time in advance. Got to the store early as requested only to be greeting by a sign saying they were out until 13:30, then, after a 20 minute wait, was told no vaccines were available until Friday. Staff were deliberately unhelpful and evasive. This is not the only CVS Pharmacy where I have received negligible, incorrect or timewasting interactions so assume it must have endemic management and organizational problems.

I had my son's pediatrician call in his medication refill on 12/23/31 and received a text from CVS stating that my son's prescription could not be filled until 12/26/21 due to state law. I called CVS on 12/26/21 and asked that my son's prescription be filled. I explained it has been put on hold and asked if it could be filled. CVS ran it through their system, and told me I could pick it up in an hour. When I arrived 2 hours later to pick it up, I was told it could not be filled until 12/27/21 due to state law and that I "should have received a call or text." I received ZERO communication and wasted an hour of my time. This is the THIRD time this has happened.

Stay far away from Green Dot and CVS Pharmacy. They are both in cahoots together. Been waiting since October 29th. No resolution so far and no one seems to give a ** to lift a finger to help me get my money back. I handed the cashier $1,000 to place on two different cards and they did not land up in my cards. They wound up giving me a receipt to two different cards that didn't even match my cards when I open up the package when I got home and I'm sitting with the receipt and I'm explaining this to them and nobody wants to help me.

Picked up a script just this afternoon for my husband (he usually gets it). He told me it should be no more than $250 - get there & she rings up $286. I tell her that can't be right. She insists it is. So I take it home. Husband says, no, right here (on phone) it should be $255. So he jumps in the car & goes over (within the hour of my purchasing it) & they tell him the cannot give him an adjustment & that they told me that. They DID NOT tell me that. If they had, I would have not gotten it & sent my husband over to pick it up.

On Monday, November 8, 2021, I went to the CVS on 61-15 Metropolitan Avenue in Queens, NY 11385 to get a PCR test required by the hospital three days before I was going to get a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy on Friday, November 12. To begin with no one in the pharmacy was able to tell me where this test was to be done or they couldn't be bothered ... It was a customer who heard me asking and told me I'd have to go through the drive-thru. Fine. I exited the building and drove to the drive-thru. I had to honk my horn to get someone's attention. Well, see-administered the test as directed by the person at the window and was told the results would be available in 2 days or by Wednesday, November 10. I didn't have a result by Nov. 10 or Thursday, Nov. 11 midday. I am now getting very stressed because these procedures has already been postponed previously due to a similar situation.
After midday, I called CVS and the person answering the phone checked and told me the results had not come in. Now, I'm a 76 year old woman and computers are not my forte; however, I decided to wait an hour or so. I decided to check the paperwork CVS handed me and saw the labs was Quest. I called an 800 Quest number. I had to wait at least 1/2 hour to get a human. I was told they couldn't give out this information on the phone unless I could somehow provide some verification which I did by telling the whole story about my procedures were dependent on the PCR results and that I had the test done at CVS a 61 15 Metropolitan Avenue. This was sufficient for the Quest rep to send the results to my email address I provided to her. The Quest rep told me CVS did not include neither my address nor my phone number with the sample and that's the reason why I had not received the results!
The results of these procedures are to go to my Cardiologist and Vascular Surgeon so they can figure out what's wrong with severe chest pains I've been experiencing of months. The inefficiency of CVS at this particular Metropolitan Avenue thankfully did not negatively affect my health but it very well could've if subsequent medical treatment had been delayed because I couldn't get results due to CVS employee lack of follow-through on a process. I wouldn't recommend this particular Minute Clinic or Pharmacy at this location. I would've given it a minus STAR rating but that wasn't an option!!

Never leave the pharmacy without having counted and verified the pills or other meds they give you. CVS kids can't count and don't read labels. In the past year I have had multiple scripts filled incorrectly and counts that were wrong and always shorting my count. I now won't leave the checkout counter without counting and will ask for a counting tray. Even had a injection medication - wrong size and wrong strength. CVS hires morons and then doesn't train or do any quality control checks! Waiting to hear someone getting hurt or killed due to their stupidity. I have gone into my account at CVS and turned off the automated refills and notices of needing refills. Been to the store numerous times asking for the refill notices to be turned off and they claim they have done this, but not a week or two later and I'm getting more notices.
Other issue is in their attempt to keep from having to restock something they create a flag type label and stick it to your bottle - a manufactures bottle that they are giving you. I got a 90 supply of a script which was 6 bottles and all with the flag labels sticking out. The labels are in the way when trying to shelve the bottles, come off because they stick out and are barely attached, leave sticky label touchable so you can't help but get stuck and rip the label off, and this is all in a effort for them to not do their jobs of counting and putting the entire script in a single bottle that is easy to open.
I understand using manufacturer's bottle to save money and reduce plastic, but open and count the supply to make sure it is correct. They only use one size bottle no matter the size of the pill. I take a pill that is very small and they stick it in a bottle that my finger can't reach the bottom and touch the pill to pull one out. Have to dump the pills into my hand and risk spilling them every time I need to take one. If the bottle can hold a two or three year supply of the medication, use a smaller bottle. Asked the pharmacist to use a smaller bottle, but they don't have one. CVS has now lost my business and switching maybe painful. Does CVS care, NOPE!

I have been in the care of a pain management specialist for just under 2 years. I am a chronic back pain patient with a full spine fusion. My doctor called my script in on Friday, but my “fill” date was Monday. I couldn’t get to the pharmacy on Monday due to other commitments. I was supposed to receive a text confirming availability of my script to go get it. On Tuesday, I still had not received the text so I called the pharmacy. After 3 attempts and hang ups, I finally was informed my script could not be filled before Thursday since they did not have it in stock. I expected a text on Thursday to let me know it was filled. I never got one so I called again. It still was not ready. I didn’t get a text on Friday either.
At 3:00 pm Friday, I drove to the pharmacy. I went to the pickup window where I was informed my script was still not ready. There were at least 15 people in the pharmacy waiting area getting COVID vaccines or waiting for scripts. I told the tech my script was called in a week ago, and I was not leaving without it. After some chatter in back, I was instructed to wait at the consultation window, squarely in the middle of 3 pharmacy lines, in sight and hearing of all those other patrons. When I got to the consultation and waited a long time, a young-man child came to the window. Apparently he was the pharmacist, who didn’t even bother to identify himself by name. I informed him that I had waited all week for them to fill my script and I was not leaving without it.
He looks at me and says, I have concerns about your prescription and I want to evaluate whether it should be filled. He says he wants to conduct a clinical evaluation to determine the validity of my script. Wait, what? He asks me, in front of all these other individuals waiting in the area why I am taking this medication, what my diagnosis is in detail, like terminology etc. I was completely stunned, blindsided. I tried to answer his questions but they were so odd and I was so clearly uncomfortable that I was unable to respond appropriately.
I pushed back by informing him that I am under the care of a pain specialist and why did he think it was ok to second guess my doctor? He says to me, well I am your doctor too. I have a pharmacy degree and I am part of your medical care team. Oh really? Is that right? This kid never laid eyes on me before this encounter. He was arrogant, conceited, condescending, rude. I was furious and humiliated in public by this unprofessional over educated man-child. I am 68 years old. His audacity was so over the top I was losing it. He told me he was not comfortable filling my script. Fine you little piece of work!
There are so many things wrong with this interaction starting with why I wasn’t proactively informed my med was not in stock on my fill date. Why was I not informed beforehand they couldn’t fill it until Thursday. But most importantly, why didn’t this pharmacist reach out to me privately by phone, or call my doctor to discuss my issues? Why was I publicly humiliated while he tried to demand information from me in public which was absolutely no one's business but mine?
I filed a complaint with the Florida board of health. I was subsequently informed that no laws were broken so too bad for me. Apparently HIPAA laws don’t apply to CVS pharmacists, they must have license to interrogate you in public about private health matters, AND deprive you of your medication if it suits them. I will NEVER set foot in a CVS pharmacy again and I will NEVER buy an Aetna prescription plan again. They are a bunch of crooks and criminals. They should not be allowed to stay in the health care industry.

The customer service at the Anna, TX CVS is unacceptable. I stayed on hold 2 hours the first call and 1 hour the second time I called and never spoke to anyone. I stood in line in my car for an hour and the precriptions were not in the system. I tried to transfer my scripts almost 2 months ago and they still haven't been transferred. I stood in line an hour inside the store after receiving a notification that my prescriptions were ready only to find out they were never entered into the system. Then the cashier told me to contact Walgreens to do the transfer to CVS even though I filled out the request online 2 months ago. I spoke to Walgreens and they said CVS needed to make the request! So I get back in line to talk to the pharmacist who was rude and complaining about the 500 prescriptions that she had to fill. I told her that I was going to run out in 2 days and now that was over a week ago and the script still hasn't been filled.
I called the corporate customer service and they got them to contact Walgreens but only transferred one out of my 8 prescriptions. The level of incompetence and unprofessionalism has made me decide to move my prescriptions to another pharmacy altogether. This store needs more employees so that the poor cashier at the pharmacy doesn't continue to break down in tears at the pharmacy line. She started crying because she couldn't find two customers' scripts in a row. I will no longer shop at this store location because even the front store cashier was just as rude.

My complaint is at CVS corporate, not customer service, that in fact was fantastic! Everyone did their best to help and was competent in their field, however, I went through 3 different accounts online, changed passwords for every single one of them, all of which I was walked through on the phone, yet to no avail. This should be an embarrassment to CVS corporate. I love the service of tele-visit, but oh my, you need to fix your system badly.

CVS was terrible in every way. It takes forever to reach them by phone. Their phone systems stinks. It does not respond to voice commands or two keyboard commands. CVS totally messed up my prescriptions. I had three prescriptions at CVS and had two of them transferred to another pharmacy where it would be cheaper. When I called CVS to check on the third prescription they said they didn't have it. But the new pharmacy also didn't have it. My prescription got lost in the ether. I had to have my doctor call it in to the new pharmacy, where it cost a few extra dollars but it was worth it to not have to deal with CVS. I will never use CVS again for anything.

CVS doesn't allow TRICARE Customers (MILITARY PERSONNEL) to be vaccinated due apparently CVS is not contracted by TRICARE. Why the CVS registration system allows TRICARE customer to get registered for vaccination (e.g. covid-19 booster, FLU shot) to later reject the customer at the onsite pharmacy. CVS at 414 Union Street, ASHLAND MA 01721 didn't allow my dependent spouse to receive the Moderna Booster. We have TRICARE Medical Insurance, but the pharmacy staff/supervisor didn't allow her to get vaccinated. They rather want to charge $40 in order to receive Covid-19 Moderna Booster. CVS is just wasting the time for TRICARE Customers.

I have tried to get them to transfer my prescriptions for weeks. I sent a message on their website yesterday. They apparently did not read my message. If they did they would know I have already done what they suggested in their reply. I've tried transferring my prescriptions 5 times, including twice at the store with the pharmacist. I also spoke to a pharmacist on the phone about transferring all my prescriptions from another pharmacy and he said he would take care of it, but he did not.
Yesterday I went to the store only to find out they sent a refill request (maybe others) to the wrong doctor who understandably denied it. And they left my insulin in a 'processing' status for days, even though it was in stock, until I went in and made them look. Apparently they just left my prescription sit there and forgot about it without filling it even though the insulin was in stock. Since they did not care to read my message completely (another example of the usual terrible customer service) and because of the atrociously terrible service and lack of concern from the store pharmacists I have no other alternative but to go to a different pharmacy. Their lack of competence and "don't care" attitude could cause a person like me with serious health problems to become sick, hospitalized and even death.

Simpledose is one of their mail order services. Mail order Pharmacies are pretty standard and easy at this point. My shipment was put on the ground in a flood. I get it the driver was trying to get to safety - no issue. Shippers have a procedure to replace items, especially medication, which you cannot skip for a month. It took 10 days to send me replacement pills and they charged me 150% of the usually charge, insurance doesn't cover this unless you file properly, which you would assume CVS would know how. And they did not refund me for the product that was destroyed.
The red flag is that there is no one to call. They can charge you anything and while you wait on the phone for 30 min to talk to someone, it is a pharmacist, who can only take an order and charge you more, not give you any phone number where to call or email for a customer service center. Their entire website is void of any contact or customer help. Just click to reorder. I do get texts and emails 20 times a month to reorder, at this point I would rather go to the guy on the corner, he is more trustworthy.

Also I have waited on the phone up to an hour to check on a new prescription to see if it is ready for pickup since I don't always get a text message.

On August 20th, in TN, a young female college student (here from another country) went to receive a COVID vaccine as advised to do so by her university. The technician gave her one shot, then told her that the syringe was "empty" and that she needed to receive a second shot and proceeded to give her a second shot. Why was an "empty" syringe lying around? The pharmacist offered her his explanation, but she wants a response from corporate. She came to me quite upset about the incident, and we have been trying to contact them for weeks now.
Agent after agent listens; we have received one case number after another but no one is willing to call us back or address the problem. One agent said district leaders might choose not to call back. The student's parents back home are beside themselves with worry on what might have gone wrong. Instead of addressing the problem, CVS corporate chooses to ignore the concerns of a young female from another country. It is shameful.

I went to the CVS store in Boonville Indiana on Friday, September 10, 2021, at 12:30 PM to get four medicines for my wife who was just released from the hospital the day before with Covid. She was to complete her recovery at home and is on oxygen. I had just come off quarantine with a mild case of Covid the 8th of September, so I decided to use the drive-up window to avoid exposing anyone in the store to any latent infection. The wait at the drive-up window was normal, roughly 30 minutes.
The hospital had ordered more drugs than we needed because we already had some in the medicine cabinet. The possibility of unneeded drugs was noted in my wife’s release papers. My wife circled the names of the drugs she needed on the hospital instructions. They were **, **, and probiotic strains. I also had a printed prescription for ** which needed to be started immediately to aid in her recovery. I handed the list with the noncritical drugs with the printed prescription to the young lady at the window with a complete explanation of what was needed; three drugs and one prescription. I took a picture of the prescription list because I wasn’t expecting to get it back and I wanted to make sure I would get what was ordered. The meta data of the picture is Friday 12:36PM. After entering information on the computer screen, the clerk handed the two papers back to me.
I asked for a phone call when the order was ready. After waiting five hours I drove the eight miles to CVS. Waited in line for half an hour before getting to the window. I asked if they had an order ready. I paid $124.42 nine items (Rcpt. Time Stamp 6:41 PM). I knew this was more than I ordered but at least 8 cars were waiting in line behind me.
The clerk leaned out the window, peering at the line of cars that were waiting for service. She said that customers had been yelling at them for days because they were running behind due to increased business caused by a spike in Covid cases. The pharmacist was throwing things behind his partition. My wife was alone, bedridden, and waiting on her prescription. Traffic was backed up to the street. I would deal with the discrepancies and resulting overcharges later. I got home and searched for the ** – the prescription wasn’t there. My wife was too ill for me to make another trip to the pharmacy that night. To be clear, CVS ignored my instructions and filled every prescription that Deaconess Hospital had ordered except the one that was critical for my wife’s recovery.
I went into the pharmacy around noon the next day. I showed the blue prescription to the pharmacist. He said the prescription hadn’t been filled and the script shouldn’t have been handed back to me. He said he would fill it right now. The clerk that filled the order the day before wasn’t there. I was fuming. I gave her simple instructions that hadn’t been followed and my wife’s treatment was delayed and could possibly affect her recovery. I told the clerk that I wanted wanted the missing clerk's name so I could report her. I told her I would wait outside while the pharmacist filled the prescription. I didn’t want to risk infecting anyone in the store because I had come off Covid quarantine three days before. I was taking the extra precaution of wearing a face mask.
When I came back into the store, I paid for the prescription, and asked for the clerk’s name who had ignored my simple instructions. The clerk said they weren’t allowed to give out names. I said, “your employee totally screwed up this order and puts my wife at risk and I have no recourse?” The pharmacist came over and said “Look, I filled your prescription, there is no reason for you to be yelling at us. We didn’t make a mistake. Please leave right now.” I smiled incredulously. “I am not yelling,” I said. “Yes, you are. Leave the store,” he said.
I thought about it for a few seconds. I was considering whether or not to give him an Adrian Cronauer “Good morning, Vietnam” yell. I decided against it because I didn’t want to frighten the customers in the store. I have yelled “Good morning, Vietnam” at the iron furnace at Model, Tennessee. The noise reverberates through the hills and valleys for more than 30 seconds before fading away. At the Colts football games, I start chants that the crowd picks up on and is carried by over half the stadium. The last time I went, the girl that was sitting in front of me asked her boyfriend to switch seats because her ears were hurting. The boyfriend and I shrugged at each other during the seat swap. Yelling at a Colts game is sort-of required. I assure you I was not yelling in the store.
The pharmacist and clerks never apologized or asked exactly what happened or what went wrong. They could have used the incident as a teaching moment. Their lack of concern for me and CVS, the company that gives them their livelihood, is appalling. To make matters worse, the clerk said “You just got over Covid? Now I have to wipe down the counter.” I didn’t bother to point out that the store response to Covid states that the counter is cleaned after every transaction. I did tell her that if they had filled out the order properly, I wouldn’t be in the store. Teaching moment, customer expectations:
• Don’t accuse the customer of anything – they pay your salary.• Show concern for the customer. Apologize if and when needed and mean it.
• As a team player, invested in the company, ask exactly what happened so you can correct this problem and ensure that it doesn’t happen again.
• Know the store procedures and routinely study them. Customers should observe you following any and all procedures. You are a professional.
If you do these simple things, most customers (me included) will graciously accept your treatment of them with dignity and respect and your effort to rectify the CVS store shortcomings and leave the premises somewhat placated. They might not have bothered to write a complaint letter and put it on the internet.

This review is specifically for the pharmacy -- the store itself is great. I considered giving the pharmacy two stars instead of one because they've never done anything as catastrophic as dispensing the wrong medication, but it's a terrible experience almost every time because of the toxic attitude of most of the staff there.
My wife and I are relatively young people who don't get a lot of prescriptions filled and don't ask a lot of questions. I also used to be a pharmacy tech, so I understand how stressful it can be at times. But at the end of the day, working in a retail pharmacy means you're in a service job, and this staff doesn't seem to realize it. Inconvenience them in any way by doing something like even asking a question and they stop just short of rolling their eyes in your face.
There are a couple of people there whom I've had cordial interactions with, so I don't know if they're constantly rotating staff and creating bitterness or just don't emphasize in training how people have other freaking choices for pharmacies. My wife and I have both experienced palpable attitude to flat-out rudeness from many of their staff for what should have been totally routine pharmacy interactions. I've literally had people huff audibly on the phone at me and say things in a manner that would make you think I was THEIR server at a restaurant who just told them their meal would be an hour late coming out.
I'm a pretty reasonable person, and it takes a lot to get under my skin. But when people are outwardly disrespectful -- especially in a service job! -- that pisses me off. At least have the decency to turn my back to show your disdain. I don't even normally write that many reviews! This pharmacy is just outstandingly bad, and I thought people should know. Probably fine if you get one prescription on a three-month refill cycle with no insurance complications. Otherwise, take your business elsewhere.

First off, I see that most of the posted reviews are for CVS in general, not the pharmacy in particular. There are 6 CVS stores in my county. I see nothing good to say about them, in general, except that they take up space. I could find most of their items elsewhere for about the same price. Now the pharmacy. It is controlled by an evil computer voice. It places phone calls about your prescriptions. No one can stop it. Not even the "pharmacists". Why? I can only assume that these are not the "top rated" pharmacists available. That scares me.
Never, ever cancel a prescription. The evil robo voice will not allow that. It will call and call and call. Most recently, 2 separate pharmacists have claimed to cancel an unwanted prescription, but robo voice still calls. Previously, an unwanted prescription was cancelled but still appears in their system. I do not trust CVS Pharmacy or their pharmacists. And let's discuss convenience. The local CVS stores are open 8 AM to 10 PM daily, however, the pharmacy is only open 9 AM to 8 PM weekdays, and 10 AM to 5 PM weekends. Need medicine in the evening?

It said 8/13/21, it did not say they expire mid day or 4pm, they should be a better company of honor and honor expirations until the end of the business day or clear state on the Extracare points the hour they expire, it has no expiration hour/time. This is bad business practiced on the part of CVS. The store did nothing.
Then I called CVS Extracare, she did nothing and told me a supervisor would call me, but no one has yet.

CVS has many times in the past used cover my meds in addition to calling the provider, to rely this information; this was no done. I have the alternative medication I would like to change the prescription to and I can not get through to CVS pharmacy at all.
I have been on hold now 52 minutes. Do you think it's appropriate to keep a provide on hold for 52 minutes, in counting, to speak to a pharmacist? The option for the providers, as I can imagine, is to provide faster service to providers. I did get a receptionist who picked up along the 32 minute wait time to place me on hold, yet again without an explanation of why. I would provide you the name of the person however, when they answered they did not introduce themselves. This is horrible customer service and goes against everything your company represents. As your website states helping people on their path to better health and creating unmatched human connections to transform the health care experience.
This does not exemplify such a statement. It is opposing to say that CVS is creating unmatched human connections, when a provider calls and has to wait 57 minutes (in counting) to speak to a human; especially when the last hour I have spent listening to computer system play music with an automated announcement every 45 seconds. It is opposing to say your helping people, when after 59 minutes on hold a pharmacist finally picks up the phone. She does apologize for the wait. However, when I questioned her to see if she considered an hour long she hung up the phone.
Luckily, after 40 minutes of waiting on hold, I called from another phone to see if it was just my call or all calls being held on hold for that long. Could you imagine her surprise when she answered the next call and it was the same caller she just hung up on, what are the chances? This time I asked for her name and an explanation. She laughed rhetorically and said she did not know what happened. Erica, as she claims, did not offer an apology for clearly making a mistake. Not only did I wait on hold for an hour I now find out that the alternative medication is not supplied at this store. She states to try a specialty pharmacy.
When I asked for clarification and a possible number to call she could not offer any other help than to state simply, "It's not supplied here, when I try to order the medication the system does not allow me." Erica was very dismissive, unfair, and otherwise displayed unacceptable customer service. As you can see why wouldn't I be frustrated.

I gave CVS an out by first contacting CVS Corporate Customer Service and again with the District Manager for the location. Had I or my daughter (vaccine recipient) received an honest appraisal of of the chaos that ensued on April 4 at the Hemingway, SC vaccine site, this comment would neither be necessary nor appropriate. CVS has a means by which individuals scheduled for vaccines are alerted via texts to confirm the vaccine appointment. Once that is complete, on the day of the appointment, the recipient receives a text and ‘signs in’ 15 minutes before the scheduled appt. Next step is in-person sign-in at the site. Straightforward and should make the process trouble free.
On April 4, daughter received confirmation via text to sign in for her 11:00 appt. and entered CVS. First, there was no one at the desk to confirm appts. When someone did finally make their way to the front (15-20 minutes later), she was informed she did not have an appt.... and the next person in line, same thing. By this point, staff are yelling at one another ‘she doesn’t have an appointment’, ‘make sure he has an appointment’; even after checking the computer, confusion reigned — staff yelling at one another while they tried to figure out what was going on. Even when my daughter showed them her confirmation text, they were skeptical.
When they finally started lining people up (still no explanation as to HOW they figured out that the people there had legitimate appointments, most of which appeared to be second vaccines). Daughter was first in line: she noticed 3 syringes on the table. The ‘contractor’ picked up one syringe, injected her and immediately put her head down and said ‘you’re going to hate me’ — that syringe was empty. She seemed to be comparing the ‘empty’ syringe against the one that appeared to be filled and told my daughter that she would have to give her another shot which she did without any further explanation.
While my daughter was ‘waiting’ during the 15 minutes, she had a conversation with another recipient; she shared her experience and learned from that recipient that the ‘contractor’ administering her vaccine refused to write down the Lot Number on her vaccine card, citing that they were supposed to get stickers and handwriting the lot number would take too much time. Certainly seems that the contractors were not in their best form that day.
Suffice it to say, my daughter has NO idea if she had 1 vaccine, 2 vaccines or none. Speaking with the the district manager was useless: CVS suggests they did an investigation and swore she was NOT given two injections (that’s a flat out lie — she took pictures of her arm with two holes next to one another). CVS also suggested that, after checking their ‘records’, she did, in fact, receive the Covid vaccine and added ‘besides, if you had been given two vaccines, you would have had significant side effects’. Was it really necessary to add that wrinkle to an already screwy situation? Ultimately, the district manager acknowledged CVS in Hemingway were having a bad day— to quote, it was a ‘people-y’ day suggesting that the vaccine the recipients were the problem.
To date, my daughter has lots of questions that haven’t been answered thoroughly: did she get her second shot or not — as disorganized as they were from the start, can she believe that their ‘records’ are even close to being accurate? Is there any way to tell and perhaps shouldn’t CVS have some responsibility in making 100% sure in some way other than viewing doses — frankly they could have reduced the dosage for others to make sure their numbers looked correct.
Did she get two Covid vaccines that day? Just because she didn’t land in the hospital with serious side effects, does that guarantee she only had one? If she had two, what are the ramifications of that down the road? And lastly, her first vaccine at that site was no less chaotic but at least the list of recipients was correct — she was waiting in line in the store for 2+ hours because they required vaccine recipients to sit in a chair and hold a timer (15 minutes) but only had three chairs and three timers so that slowed things down to a crawl.
The fact that CVS flat out lied that my daughter was given two shots (claimed the contractor caught herself before injecting), one supposedly empty and the other with the vaccine is a major problem in my opinion — she has verifiable proof (two pictures taken in the parking lot) that it happened and there’s no excuse for that, ‘people-y’ day or not. Making a joke about something this important doesn’t speak well for CVS.

If I could give a lower rating I would! I love using CVS's coupons and shopping in person, but when using their online site the order does not always go through, and if it does, they do not disclose that an item is "out of stock" until after the order is complete. Also if you need to make a change to an order, minutes after the order is placed, their customer service team will not be able to help you... So why have a customer service department? If you can't help to change or cancel an order then what is the point.
CVS's management needs to update and revamp their online services. First, once the order is placed have the customer review the order with items, billing address and shipping address to confirm and verify. Second, their Customer Service Department should be able to amend an order within the first hour that an order was placed, or before delivery was picked up by shipping company. Third, their Customer Service Department should be able to cancel an order within the first hour that the order was placed.
They, CSR, told me their hands were tied and they could not help me. And informed me that I could reach out to UPS to update the shipping address. When I contacted UPS they stated that CVS assigned a tracking number, but they did not have the package within their possession as of yet. So I had to wait till they had the package. So, I contacted CVS again (by email) asking since they still had the package, why they could not update the shipping address or cancel the order, and they informed me again that they could not help me. I will continue to shop within their store, but I will NEVER use their online shopping option. Within the last 3 months they have either canceled the order after placing it, or this time shipped it to the wrong address and could not assist me to update or cancel the order.

I thought my current CVS was terrible so when I moved I was happy to switch to a new pharmacy. I decided to give CVS another chance thinking that it was a matter of location not actual company. Unfortunately I have found that the same problems I have with old CVS I have with the current one. Also, among talking to family, friends, and co-workers they encountered the same issues, and they decided to go to other pharmacies. Just to name a few problems:
*They text you your prescriptions are ready, you arrive, and it is NEVER READY. Not once my prescriptions were ready.
*They never answer the phone, or be prepared to be at least 35 minutes on hold.
*Lines are huge when you arrive, no matter what time and everyone complains about lack of communication between pharmacy and client.
*Employees are misinformed. They cannot give you a straight answer on why a medication is delayed or denied... Or they blame the prior shift. The latest thing that happened to me to be very specific: I called the doctor early in the morning, so he could give me something for pain due to my surgery. He prescribed 2 medications. I received a text at 3:33 pm saying my prescription is ready. After a long day at work and with a lot of pain I go to pick up my medications. I had to wait 20 minutes in line. When I finally get to the counter, the prescription(s) were not ready. This was at 7 pm (over 3 hrs. after I received text saying prescriptions WERE ready). Then, they only bring ONE medication to me. I asked where the other one is. They said, there was an issue with the other one.
I needed to go to the Drop-Off window to find out exactly what the issue was. I asked how come nobody told me about the issue earlier. I am in need of my pain medication; otherwise I would not be there... They told me to go to Drop off Window. I went to Drop off Window. Waited 15 minutes (this is someone who already waited 20 minutes in line, and it is in a lot of pain). Finally, someone approaches me. I explained the whole situation and tells me the same thing the other person had told me before, there was an issue with my prescription which I replied exactly the same thing. What issue and how come NOBODY had called me earlier when I could have call doctor, insurance etc... AGAIN they have no answer for me. :(:(:( I had to leave w/o my medication for pain and no explanations or answers from any of the staff members.
The unsympathetic treat that I keep receiving from the CVS pharmacy staff is an ongoing issue. They just do NOT care. I know they receive many complaints. If a supervisor who cares or upper management will stand on line at least once, he/she will know that every single person is very upset with the treatment that they get from the pharmacy member. It is beyond being unprofessional.
We are talking about people that are in pain or sick here... What if someone with a mental illness goes w/o their prescription a whole weekend because a moron did not make a ph. call warning him/her about an "issue" with their insurance? What if it is someone going through chemotherapy? I could name so many different terrible scenarios worse than my after surgery pain... I am done with CVS, NEVER again I am shopping there, thankfully I live in country with many options Walgreens, Navarro, Publix, just to name a few pharmacies, but hopefully you can fix it for any future client.

Today is 3/1, and warehouse still hasn't processed my order. Order I made for another person at this same address after mine, and theirs is on the way to USPS. It is a problem at the warehouse. Someone there is dropping the ball. It would make sense that 2 orders from the same address at the same time could be filled and shipped on the same day. Agents are great.

I tried two times to enter my information for COVID testing at the CVS 1080 Hendersonville Road, Asheville, NC location. After I entered my information, and scheduled the date, I tried to upload my insurance photo. The software showed only half the photo. Then, I tried to go back and lost the information. I tried to enter it a second time, and it worked until I tried to confirm the location and time for the test. Again, I lost the information. With the abundant availability of good software, I am depressed that I cannot schedule a COVID test. It is not wonder the United States has such a high COVID incidence rate, when testing is available and the average person cannot even schedule a test.
I have had several years of programming classes so I am not a novice to using online software and even have done some web design. I cannot imagine why it is so difficult to register for this test online, and am disappointed at the incompetent manner in which this pandemic has been and continues to be handled and coordinated in spite of the fact that we have so many good and talented healthcare professionals working so hard and making so many personal sacrifices to save lives.

When we called them on their helpline, they assured us that the lab will make sure that we get our results in time to board our flight. But their tone changed once we took the COVID-19 test at one of their pharmacies.
After repeatedly calling and telling them that we need the report within 2 days time, they failed to do anything or rather chose not to do anything. They only had one thing to say that the test results could take any time between 24 hours to 7 days.. This is highly unprofessional of them and thus would suggest everyone to never take a COVID-19 test at a CVS pharmacy if you are in a rush or need the result sooner..

Now this was both the dr and the pharmacy's fault as there is no way I could have known this medication contained this ingredient. This time, my son is close to being grown and needs testosterone.

I went to pick up the testosterone and the needles were not ready. Fine. I was told to wait an hour and they would fill. Fine. I waited an hour because I was too far away from home to go back and come back.

We went back at 830pm were told they were closed even though their hours were until 9pm. Went back following morning. I was told that there was no rx for the second needle.
After waiting for 20 minutes, they found they had the rx but it needed a prior auth. I would normally understand however at this point I was getting frustrated. The needles I needed were $.73. That is right. The cash price was 73 cents. That is why they could not be filled as insurance wouldn't allow them. I was happy to give them the money but they didn't communicate which is imperative in this type of situation. I will never use them again.

So I came.back with my card today Sep 4 and this time was told the info was there after all but the system was acting up and they couldn't access it. Or something like that. I had 2 employees trying to figure it out. A third was trying to help another gentleman on the computer the entire time and also didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Just kept clicking away. I left without a shot. Very frustrating and not helpful during a pandemic.

What a nightmare. After 2 years of enduring mistakes every, month.... wrong dosage, 20mg instead of 40mg, 30 pills in a bottle labeled 90, always told to go home and come back later in the day, I had another customer's bags after I got in my car, etc, etc. I finally told the Pharmacy manager that her needs to investigate. Next visit, the Pharmacist (who was wearing his required mask on his chin) wanted revenge and told me I wasn't allowed to fill prescriptions there anymore. I talked to the senior store manager and he started using offensive language in front of my wife. This is the store from Hell.

Ref my RX# **;** 0.06% spray. I am supposed to get 5 bottles per doctor's prescription& have been getting 5 past several months. On 8/23 I only got 3 bottles. Called 8/29, Pharmtech denied I was eligible for 5 but only 3; asked him to check my refill history, he talked to Pharmacist & admitted they had miscalculated, However wanted me to drive back to the pharmacy again to have it corrected. No apology etc. I told him just mail it but he wouldnt. This is > 10 times and for almost 2 years I have been receiving only 3 bottles vs the prescription that required 5. CVS repeatedly told me my Insurance denied 5 and approved only 3. I had gone back to my doctor 2x to ensure his prescription reflected my needed usage and I was always running out of the spray! I then called the insurance and was told that it was CVS that was giving me short! Challenged the calculation, they admitted mistake & revised to 5. This store pharmacy is incompetent with poor customer service.

My husband needed a prescription from CVS until our mail-order company had time to ship it to us. Now, CVS has automatically refilled the prescription, without our permission or request to do so, and they call every day to say the prescription is ready for pick-up. There is no option to cancel the prescription during the auto calls. Even after calling the pharmacy to cancel the prescription, we still receive auto messages daily. Horrible customer service!

I am a physician that was calling on behalf of my patient and called to get the PA information which I received, then I called back to let the pharmacist to let the pharmacist know. He said ok, and then I asked to run the coupon for the patient to see how much the prescription was who would have reduced income and so the price was a determining factor to get this medication. I said, "Ok transfer me," and the phone went to voicemail so I called back.
He then answered again and I said that I would ask if he could run this for me because I am trying to help the patient and I said I am a doctor, and he said, "I don't care if you are a doctor and you only waited a minute and hung up on me." I called back to speak with a technician, they took the call and asked what is this about and they then hung up. I called corporate to get help. This location is noted for unprofessional interactions with doctors and the CVS consumer affairs website will not take complaints so I will give this information to the public.

The absolute worst customer service! As a regular customer who refills the same medications every month, it’s ridiculous that CVS refuses to hold paper scripts or schedule orders for customers. What are the computers for?! CVS requires patients to return to their pharmacy daily to check in stock levels in case they run out of the medications I refill every single month without change. How is it in the patients’ best interest to have to make multiple visits to the store for one single transaction, especially during a pandemic!!!!
Then when I show up on the day the prescription can be filled, CVS then says they’ve run out the medication and can reorder it for you on Monday (they say they can only order on Mondays so if you come in any other day add a week to your wait). CVS is so far behind the times, it’s truly shocking and causing customers to have to make 10 times the effort while experiencing 10 times the difficulty to simply refill regular prescriptions on a monthly basis. Do yourself a favor and use a different pharmacy, any pharmacy but CVS...

On July 5, 2020, I went to CVS on W. Briggsmore Avenue in Modesto, CA, to buy some CVS Health Brand gummy vitamins. I got CVS Care coupons from the kiosk in the store, one of them good for $5 off $20 purchase of CVS Health Brand vitamins or supplements. I got two bottles for $10.73 a piece. I asked the clerk if the coupon was good for the products that I had, and he said yes. I tried using the coupon at checkout, but it wasn't being accepted. I asked for the manager to come out, and he told me it was because the ExtraCare number that was listed on the coupon was different than what was listed on the phone number that I gave. I don't understand that at all, since I entered my phone number on the kiosk screen when I got the coupons! The clerk, who went by the name of **, told me to call CVS corporate (1-800-SHOP-CVS).
I e-mailed corporate with the complaint, and I was contacted a couple of days later by a customer service representative named **, who told me the coupon expired on July 4. I e-mailed her back. Told her that was impossible, since I received the coupon on July 5 and its expiration date is shown as July 12. I even took a picture of the coupon to show her, but I haven't heard anything back. I contacted corporate AGAIN (this time by phone), and it was a complete joke. The first time I got through, I could barely understand the representative on the other end of the line because it kept breaking up. I hung up and called again, and spoke to someone. I gave the clerk the coupon code, and she did some research while putting me on hold. She came back and told me the coupon isn't in their system. HUH?! I don't understand how it can't be in their system if it was printed from THEIR kiosk!
I ended up filing a complaint with the FTC because I was tired of being given the runaround and one BS excuse after five others. Apparently, they would rather screw customers out of their discounts and give that money to their shareholders, or perhaps use the money to fund the golden parachutes for the corporate executives, just like any typical corporation. Needless to say, this will be my absolute last time in any CVS Pharmacy. Take my advice, do not do business with these shysters!

July 2nd in the morning I called the CVS pharmacy inside Schnucks at 5055 Arsenal and asked that mine and my wife's prescriptions be shipped. They took my credit card and said they'd send them right away 1-2 day via USPS. I understood that the holiday could cause me to have to wait till Monday to get the delivery. That was OK.
At 3:00 pm Monday when the delivery had not arrived I called the pharmacy. The young man I spoke with apologized and told me that they had not gotten my delivery out the previous week but that it had been noticed and taken care of earlier that day. He confirmed to me that my prescriptions had been shipped earlier Monday and apologized for the oversight. I discovered later he was lying.
On Wednesday at 4:00 pm (I'm now out of medication that I need to take this evening) I called the pharmacy to again inquire. They had me wait a moment and then came back and said tracking indicated it would arrive on Thursday. I asked if I could have that tracking number and they gave it to me. Using the tracking number I discovered that the shipping label was created there at the pharmacy on Monday at 3:26 pm -- after I had called. My prescriptions did not ship earlier that day. In fact they were not picked up by USPS until 4:54 pm the next day, Tuesday. I think it is a very bad thing for pharmacy employees to be dishonest.

The notice blames the virus and says they are out of stock. The website says otherwise.

Let me begin by saying that this review is about CVS Specialty Medication Pharmacy (CVS/SM) and not about Caremark (regular) Pharmacy. The latter has provided me very regular and courteous service. But, about 6 or 8 years ago CVS/SM Pharmacy was created and the price for my liver transplant immuno-suppressant meds immediately soared. The tech there had the gall to tell me it was "...because of Obama."
For the last year or so the service has noticeably degraded. The techs lack training in both customer and technical service. The last couple of months I have spent hours on the phone with them as they went back and forth asking me for information which they have had for a long time and insisting on talking to my doctor over orders which they have had for a long time. They called my clinical transplant coordinator for "verification". She said: (1) they had my diagnosis as a Kidney recipient, and (2) they asked for my Medicare # when Medicare never has paid for my meds. Aetna pays for my meds and I do not even have Medicare part D.
This week, for my latest order, the techs have fumbled around for 3 days causing me multiple hours on the phone and still never authorized my order. They also never tried to push me upline to get me some assistance. Finally, after asking for a supervisor and getting cut off 3 times, I insisted in an urgent and frustrated tone of voice to speak with a supervisor. A "senior representative" was on the phone in minutes and she had my order confirmed and resolved in minutes. Had I done this at first I could have saved myself much frustration and time from multiple calls back and forth between CVS/SM and my transplant coordinator.
I am only 71 years of age and I have read other complaints here of CVS/SM. I am of sound mind and can be fairly aggressive when I need to but I hate to think of how patients with less clarity and lucidity get screwed around by CVS/SM. Many must just give up. Was CVS/SM created just to discourage people from getting their meds? I would like to know if there is a regulatory and advocacy agency to which I could take my concerns. What a disgrace to the American healthcare DIS-system.

I've been using CVS Pharmacy on W Channel Islands Blvd in Port Hueneme for almost a year now. At first, no issues came up. In the past few months there have been a handful of problems that seem more than just innocent mistakes, although they could be. For example, I was prescribed 60 capsules with a $4 copay, which is what I'm insured for. However, they tried to run my prescription for 59 capsules and my copay jumped to over $200. My prescription has never said anything other than 60 capsules. This is just one example. I could name a number of others.
The health insurance/medical system in this country is broken when I and many others have to constantly worry that a) our doctor's or hospitals will overcharge us, b) our pharmacies will overcharge us or get simple instructions wrong that lead to overcharges, or c) that my health insurer may all of a sudden change coverage terms or simply refuse to cover a medical expense(s). Going back to this particular pharmacy, be on guard against erroneous charges.

I've been a customer of CVS for more than 35 years and until now I've been willing to put up with waiting in long lines, receiving too many recorded messages about prescriptions that I never asked to refill, and being unable to use my CVS card to name a few. I finally reached the end of my tether when I placed an order online, and although I received a confirmation e-mail indicating the expected delivery date and my credit card was charged, my order remained unprocessed even after the delivery date had passed. I realize that the delivery system is taxed by the large amount of orders received, but I expected an update of some kind indicating when I might receive my order.
When I attempted to contact Customer Service I found that there was no way to talk to a human. No matter which option I selected, I was eventually disconnected because my issue didn't match any of the prerecorded responses. Next I e-mailed Customer Service and quickly received a response indicating that I would not be charged for my purchase until it was shipped and ignoring my question about expected delivery time. When I responded to this e-mail, asking someone to read my message before responding, I received another message, giving me a phone number and a reference number.
Again, there was no easy way to enter the reference number or talk to a human, but after repeated attempts I found that by selecting the option for "a problem in the store" I could talk to a human. However, he couldn't help me because he had no way to access information about my problem using either the reference number of the customer service rep's name. When I sent another e-mail asking to cancel my order and receive a refund, I was told that my order could not be cancelled because it was "in process."
I wasted most of a day trying to resolve my problem. I understand that Customer Service is overtaxed, but what I don't understand is why CVS can't spend some of the money it's obviously making from this overload of orders to fix its technical problems and hire enough staff to service those orders. I would have happily accepted a delayed shipment if I’d been told when I placed the order and before I was charged. Now I’m left knowing that my business doesn’t matter and realizing that I need to find a new pharmacy.
Finally someone must have heard me because the charge was removed from my credit card account as of May 12. However, my order is still in process (perhaps indefinitely) and customer service remains unavailable. I'm sure that I'll eventually be charged for items that I no longer need or want and cannot return.

I signed up for ExtraCare at $10/month because I thought it would save me money on the products I need. True, I get $5 back to spend on products. But this is not much help, all things considered. Through the COVID-19 crisis, everything I needed was unavailable/out of stock. I lost money on my ExtraCare investment that month. I tried again a month later, and I did find some things I wanted. But, comparing pricing with other online sellers, I found CVS prices consistently high. On average, I found that with a $50 purchase, I would spend more at CVS than the $5 benefit they provide.
So, I pay $10 for the privilege of spending 10% to 15% more on most products than at other retailers. This will be the second time I've started and then cancelled ExtraCare. There will not be a third time unless CVS can really convince me I am saving money. I do credit CVS with a very smart business plan... as long as the customer is not paying close attention.

I was very disappointed with the poor service of the Pharmacy manager (Hagop) at the CVS in Moorpark (not the one in Target). The moment I handed him the prescription the first thing he said was "this is for the CVS in target why did you bring it here." I told him I went to the Target one and they were out and checked online and said you had it so they sent me here. His answer was "they always say that and keep sending everyone here because they don't want to do their job". He said this twice while we were talking. He also kept trying to find ways to not do his job and fill the prescription.
Next question was "this Dr is in L.A. why are you bringing it here?" I told him "I live here but my dentist is in LA because I work there." He kept asking more irrelevant questions (such as why is a dentist giving you a strong pain killer, to which I explained about the painful infected tooth which damaged my jaw) and on and on. In any case I found this "manager"'s behavior unprofessional and abrasive and am surprised CVS would hire such incompetent managers. The pharmacist was great though.

I cannot say anything bad about the Rite Aid Pharmacy; the Pharmacy Staff are all helpful, polite, pleasing and courteous. I decided to switch to CVS since my eighty eight year old Uncle stayed with me since January 2020 for a planned vacation. He is stuck here in the State of Virgina because of the pandemic. Since his prescriptions are from CVS, I decided to move my prescriptions to CVS: BIG MISTAKE.
Since January of 2020, my has been picking up medications for my Uncle and I. She has been complaining to me that the Pharmacy Staff are NOT FRIENDLY, snotty, and sometimes RUDE. I told her to give them the benefit of the doubt. Today, April 13, 2020, at around 5:00 PM, I had a very bad experience with one of the staff and the pharmacist. I asked my wife to pick up the prescription while our kids and I are waiting inside the car. Ten minutes later, she came back and informed me that the 30 day prescription is $195.00. I told her that I presented them with a coupon that says pay $9.00 for a 90 day prescription.
I came back inside to return the medication. When I approached one of the staff, I told him about the coupon. He told me that it says “pay as low as $9.00 for a 90 day prescription”, depending on how much the insurance covers. I told him that I cannot “afford” the medication because it cost too much; actually, I should have said “I cannot justify $2,400.00” for one prescription in one year. He then said, he cannot take back the prescription once it has been bought. He started telling me to “read the fine prints on any coupons that I use.” I told him that I need to talk the pharmacist.
The female pharmacist came by and told me that I cannot afford the medication. I heard the same speech from her telling me that CVS cannot take back the medication. She also said that the receipt states “Prescriptions Cannot Be Returned.” Your staff and pharmacist need to be educated because the receipt states “Some States Prohibits the Return of Medications.” With a nasty attitude, she told me “Don’t Buy The Medication if you cannot afford it.” You, CVS Pharmacy, should train your employee to be polite, helpful, pleasing, and courteous to the customers. Without customers, you will be out of business. A lot of people believes that “Customer is Always Right”; I do not believe that because some customers could be hard to deal with.

Hell it deserves NO STARS!! I was trying to cancel an order, told that it was and I was charged 303.26 AGAIN!! After being told it was cancelled. They said it is nonreturnable, that is why I cancelled it. On the phone for 3 hours with someone who can't get me to a manager. They charged my account WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!!! Do not trust this company with anything. Definitely calling my bank to put a stop to them going and charging me for an order that was CANCELLED.

This company does not even deserve a half star. There are so many issues I have had with this company over the years. This time they have pushed me into writing a review to inform anyone using this company to go elsewhere or be advised of the companies track record. I have paid for botox every 3 months to have sent to my doctor's office to give me my injections. I pay CVS out of my pocket and then I pay for my doctor's visit with the doctor. The problem I've had with CVS is that they do not record payments from patients. I paid $729 for my botox and paid for it in March. They did not email me my receipt for making the payment and gladly took my payment. My $729 was deducted out of my account and CVS continues to harass me for a payment that I already paid. They have now sent me to collections as I will dispute the charge and provide my proof of payment.
This has happened many other times that CVS does not keep accurate records of payment history with me. Another incident I've had with them is they charged my husband's credit card for botox without his permission to use his credit card for the particular transaction. I did read another review where another guy had the same thing happen to him as well. The billing department needs to get their act together!

I was sent to one location in Wantagh, NY to pick up the prescription that was sent by my doctor to the location I requested. Upon getting to the location I was told that my prescription is at the other Wantagh, NY location and I would have to go there to get it. Once I got to that location I was told no that it was indeed at the other location and I would need to return back to that one. Driving back yet again, I was then told again that the they don't know why the other location sent me back that they did not have my prescription. I was so furious at this point because they would not just transfer the prescription for me and insisted I go back to the other location again.
I ended up home without my medication. I had to contact my doctor to again call in the prescription the one of the locations to ensure that would be the one that would have it. Of course, it was wrong once again but now they would transfer it for me if I just wait 10 minutes. Why was this not the option the first time around? Why was the staff so difficult when this all could of been avoided and resolved in 10 minutes? I will definitely be using a different pharmacy in the future.

2 regular size cans of Lysol Disinfectant Spray at CVS on Court St in Binghamton NY just rang up for $21.12. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!! At this time, when CVS is printing all over their 3 foot long receipts all of the benefits of shopping CVS and how much CVS is doing to help combat COVID-19 and assist communities, to hike up the cost of this product is disgusting!

After waiting on hold for 30 minutes I get to talk to incompetent employees. I've been trying to get medicine for a week for my 91-year-old mother and can't get it. The app is horrible and the store is not much better. I go to Walmart and I have to switch my mom to Walmart now.

CVS does auto refills without my permission and charges my insurance even though I refused the prescription. This has happened a number of times. I just noticed that they charged my insurance over $500 for a prescription that I did not need and did not ask for.
