CVS Pharmacy

Honestly I cannot understand why they not helping serve customers on regular registers. I got the point CVS wants to automate a paying process and make people paying without human factor involved but it is not working. Every Customer spends to much time to get a clue, where to insert money, why it is declining card, why product is not scanning ect.
Their store has only 1 cvs «helper» for customers to deal with machines. Other 2 workers just stacked products on shelfs. We waited around 10 min in line. We were 1^st. When I payed and were living, line was 7 people.
Hey, CVS management if you reading this, Please make your staff helping people to buy products quicker it is better for everybody!

Had an excellent experience here that I wish would be in stores everywhere. The way it should be. A young man named George helped me find a product that wasn’t on the shelf. This store is always out of products and most employees don’t want to be bothered. He went to the back and located one for me. Very nice and courteous. He won me over and I have been shopping here for the last few months because of this experience. I only hope he will train the others to act this way with customers. Thank you for this. Also great parking lot for easy and quick shopping.

I come here at least once a week, get all my prescriptions here, also because of the numerous coupons i get. BUT unfortunately it’s often poorly re-​stocked & have a poor selection to even the most demanded products by many. Overall it’s decent. They just need to have a better management service & have more cashiers working aside from the self-​service machines.

The slowest pharmacy ever. Some of the staff members try to be helpful but overall it’s a bad experience every time I go there. I was prescribed a new medication that ended up being pretty expensive even with my insurance so I told them I would have to come back for it because I couldn’t afford it that day. They just said «okay» but apparently when you don’t pick up a medication «it goes back to stock.» I really wish the person at the register told me that when I said I would come back as I would have made arrangements accordingly. But no, now I have to wait almost a week to get my medication because they have to re-​order it.
When I went in there today the guy at the register barked questions at me «name, DOB, etc» and would cut me off mid-​answer for each one.
The store part is fine, but the pharmacy just sucks lol plain and simple.
Switching pharmacies over this, I’m out of patience.

Very little customer assistance in this location. As well as very little sales and deals but I guess thats what you get from a retail pharmacy.
One time I came here and needed to send a Money Gram wire to Costa Rica… I was sent back and forth from the register to the back where the photo section is multiple times!
The pluses is the location and that they have a good size parking lot in a congested area. Please be aware that if you are parking in this parking lot make sure you go to the CVS there are many scamming tow truck guys just waiting for you to make that mistake and get you for the $ 150 – 250 real quick.

It’s my local drugstore, I have to admit it’s ok it not that bad you save things something’s and you get lots of coupons with an extra care card, but the people aren’t always that helpful and you can’t find all the stuff you need but yes you can find lots of stuff, there a pharmacy in the back and also a parking lot, it’s also the perfect location

I have seen movies where people are being replaced by machines. They dont usually end well. This place is no exception. There was this thing back in the day called «cashier» and they would scan your items, throw them in a bag, they may or may not tell you the total depending if they give a crap, take your money, and give you the «have a nice day, get the hell out» look.
Im indifferent to cashiers (having been one during my post high school years), but i can honestly say that this place needs them back.
You can visibly see them but they dont wanna help you. What makes it worse is that there is someone there directing to the self check out. Problem
1) a majority of the customers dont know how self check out works
2) the person who directs to you to self check is as useful as people who direct regular traffic… they cause more problems than solving them
3) the check out machines dont always work
I can go on and on about this but the major problem here is that they are poorly stocked and disorganized… just like all the other chain stores

Expensive? Yes but that’s how cvs is as a company
Always having stuff out of stock? Yes. It seems that they only sell the stuff I need to buy in very small quantities
Rude employees? Eh. I can see why
Convenient location? Yes.
Tax on food… What? Why?
Worth it? If you are willing to walk down a couple blocks down to stop and shop then this is def not worth a trip.

I agree that it’s a little more costly than the CVS cost to my house, but this place has so much more selection of things and I find the workers to be helpful and nice. I usually prefer to come to this one even though its further from my house and not convenient to get to but it has its own parking lot and back entrance so you don’t have to walk around.
My go-​to CVS :)

It’s a CVS and a CVS will always be a CVS offering all the same things that CVS offers in the city.
CVS does tend to sell things for a higher price (example: Cetaphil face wash is $ 2 less down the block at Stop and Shop), but all in all, there are a ton of coupons you can get with your extraCare card like extrabucks, 20%, $ 4 off $ 20. Basically, there’s a lot.
This CVS can be a mess sometimes, but really, you’re not exactly going through each aisle, scouting for stuff. It’s one of those stores where when you need something, you come in, you buy, and then you leave. Besides, it’s not exactly the most confusing thing ever and it’s readily stocked for all your needs.
Also, theres a clearance section right by the coupon machine (which is never broken, unlike the one in UES by 97^th street, ugh!), which is amazing. It’s like 90% off. I’ve gotten those Ghiradelli peppermint squares there after Christmas for 70 cents a bag. SCORE!
Of course, the machines can be really stupid sometimes, but theres always someone to help you out. The lines do get kind of long, but it’s right by the subway station– people are going to get what they need when they need it, as we all would.
Nothing really to complain about– it’s a CVS and it will be in existence for as long as we know.

It was closed down due to Hurricane Sandy, but opened up recently. Located next to the Sheepshead Bay train station, it has a parking lot in the back for those looking to drive in. Identical to every CVS you will ever find with the same products and service, with the only exception being the malfunctioning/​out of order self-​checkout machines. There are always 1 or 2 machines that don’t work for some reason. Other than that, it is what it is, a customary CVS. No other complaints.

Parking lot is a big plus! Great selection. Fair prices.

There are many pharmacies in Sheepshead Bay, and this one offers better prices on many non-​prescription items. The prescription drug price I checked here, however, was higher than Duane Reade’s. Checkout tends to be slow – there are not enough cashiers. The store has installed self-​checkout machines, but most people avoid them. There is a small parking lot at rear of store, a conveneince in this congested shopping area.

I absolutely love CVS, I come in and I know automatically its my second home, I get treated literally like a family member. The sales are awesome I come in at least twice a day, even to get lunch and a light snack. Everything is always in stock and so organized. I love the pharmacy section, they are very quick I got my flu shot there and it did not hurt one bit, I was helped by two wonderful pharmacists, Regina D and Diana M. They are fantastic employees. Too bad Unilocal doesnt have 10 stars. I deffinitely recommend this CVS, I refuse to go to any other branch and yet alone and other pharmacys except the Sheepshead bay branch.

This place is too expensive & the staff are really rude & the mngmt orginazation of this store is horrifying. waiting on line is dreadful. Lines are long with angry employees and slow services.

They got all the sale items, but most people don’t go because of 2 major reasons, 1-​the stupid Internet coupon policy they have and 2-​the tow truck blackmail.
If you are part of CVS’ membership club you get printable coupons in your email. You think printing out the coupon itself with the bar code and CVS logo is enough, but no – you better print out the WHOLE PAGE the coupon is on because depending on you are dealing with as a cashier, they will claim it is «manager policy» or «store policy» that they do not accept any CVS Internet coupons unless you waste an entire paper to print the entire page because likely your coupon is «fraudulent.» Never mind that your name, email, your card membership number, and the CVS logo is all over on there because somehow you are likely still trying to cheat them in their eyes.
Non-​CVS Internet coupons, again depending on the person you get, likely will NOT be accepted.
Alright now the whole parking lot issue – they’ve been doing this for years. If you see someone just like hanging out in the lot whether in a car or smoking or on their cell, chances are they are there to report people they THINK are only using their parking lot to go somewhere else. They pick on anyone, but they seem to target people who seem like foreigners or non-​English speakers the most. Seen Russian, Chinese, Spanish people usually get targeted. One time a lady went in and her jeep got towed, well turns out she just bought some stuff from the store, they were WRONG!
PS the charge to get your car back…$ 100. Also that lady said she wanted to complain to the manager and everyone – meaning the staff and the one who was hanging out the lot who reported her to get towed, all said CVS has «nothing to do» with the towing. Well, obviously they do because the store is on its own private lot and who is paying for these people to tow you?

This is a medicore CVS. The staff here is rude and things here are often out of stock.

This place was a dump… dirty and just had a bunch of angry looking employees.
I am driving home on the belt parkway and my wife calls… the cats are out of food… ugh…
Cats are always out of food at my place it seems… so I pull off and go to this cvs so I do not forget to pick up the fancy feast for the felines.
I go in and find the cat food…99 cents a can? wtf… everywhere I go its either 60 cents or 70 cents… hey I am not some cheapskate… but this is literally highway… or in my case, parkway robbery.
I go up, the angry slug like character scans my items and its $ 8.52 for 8 cans of cat food… joy.
Then I am told I must exit here… and by here I mean the opposite side of the giant store. I listen and go out… I am now completely around the corner from where I parked in the lot. Is this some sick trick cvs employees do to crazy cat guys to pass the time?
Anyways I walk around the building and get in my car saying to myself, well that is one place I will never return to again.
