CVS

I have used the pharmacy hundreds of times and they’re always on time and helpful. The staff are friendly and the pharmacist is always helpful with any questions I have.
I have also used the Kodak kiosk here which is very convenient, cheap and quick for 4×6 pictures (a little pricey for larger)
Also sometimes they have great deals on their seasonal items so make sure to keep an eye out

I hear the pharmacy is terrible. Wouldn’t know, since I haven’t used it yet. Prices here are very expensive, bordering on rip-​off. Cosmetics here are waaay pricier than they are at Target or Walmart.
HOWEVER, they have tons of variety. There were all kinds of things here that I haven’t seen at Target. I love Revlon, and they had an entire line I’d never seen before! I ended up leaving with a lipliner and lipstick (both in berry) that I was very happy with.
Use coupons and their «quick cash» or whatever it is, that you can accumulate from shopping at the store (although you can’t use it on pharmacy or alcohol). Then at least you’re spending in a wiser and more cost-​effective way!

Here at CVS pharmacy with my prescription and the lady does not even know how to look up my insurance. Waited 10 min for her to try, she took a copy of my card because the line was getting to long, they called me 20 minutes later asking if I could bring my card back. Wait 10 more minutes for the gentlemen if front of me then another 20 minutes waiting for her to so the same thing she did a hour ago. «Miss do you want to pay out of pocket then they can give the money back to you later» I was just here on Saturday for my son no issues with my insurance. I will not be back here again.

I am not a huge fan of CVS… they are a sorry replacement for my beloved Longs. Their coupon system is just silly, they have very limited merchandise.
That said the DGD’s and I need a few things the day-​before-​Christmas Eve. Grandma need cough drops, kids new crayons.
We arrived early, before 10. It was great, easy parking, quick and easy shopping trip.
The little *weggins* wanted purple/​pink Santa hats… and for under 5 bucks, they got them.
On our way to breakfast and a movie in no time.

I left my original review below and had given them three stars, but they have fallen to only one star now. Several times I have dropped off or tried refilling a prescription only to find they don’t have it in stock. The pharmacist in charge shouldn’t be. Most recently just a few weeks ago I dropped off two new prescriptions, they did not have the inhaler and wanted to know if I wanted to come back the following day for it. My answer was no since I was having trouble breathing. I took both prescriptions across the street to Target who had them in stock and even texted me when they were ready. This past week I got a call saying they didn’t have my refill in stock but they have it in a couple of days. I said that would be fine. When I went to pick it up, it was the generic brand, not what I was told would be ordered and ready for pick up. This is not the first time I have had issues and delays with this prescription.
Who wants to do business with a pharmacy that can’t keep what you need in stock when you need it? I have since transferred all of my prescriptions across the street to Target. They even offer an app for easy transfer and refills. If you need a prescription filled I’d advise you to go elsewhere if you need it that same day and want what your doctor prescribed.
Original comment:
I have been getting my prescriptions filled here for a few years now. They pharmacy staff is always polite and friendly (unlike the CVS across town). My one complaint is when I buy other items at the pharmacy counter the sale price does not always come up, maybe this happens at all the registers??? This has happened several times now and I don’t always notice right away. So after this week, I will go to the pharmacy but for other items I will wait until I am at Target where it’s cheaper at full price. It’s great for prescriptions but not much else.

I only went to this CVS today because the kaiser pharmacy is closed on Sunday, and I needed an immediate fill on a new prescription I got at ValleyCare the previous night. So not only was it TWICE as expensive as kaiser, it took longer for my prescription to be filled because I with Kaiser in the first place.
I can only really see myself using the pharmacy here if I truly do need something immediately; CVS gets bonus points for being open on the weekend, but I prefer the customer service and prices of my primary pharmacy as opposed to CVS.

This review is for the pharmacy. We have been long time customers at this pharmacy and have just pulled all of our prescriptions out and moved to a different pharmacy. Over the last year, the service and our confidence in the ability of this pharmacy to meet our needs has declined greatly. We love Rickey and Jill? Liberty was great as well and we miss her. The new staff is rude (Flor) and seems unwilling to help. Several times we have been told that our scrip isn’t covered by insurance when in fact they were running an old rx or something that we didn’t ask for. There is always a 30 minute line in there and someone has always called in sick or is on break so the line is huge always. And forget about trying to call and ask about anything. Lots of excuses and no real reason to stay. Sorry but you’ve lost our 30+ prescriptions and weekly business at the store. Not that you care.

I was emailed a $ 3 bonus buck coupon for my birthday. I had done some grocery shopping at Safeway then came here to use it. It’s really pretty small for a cvs. The one across town is probably 1.5 times this one. But they seem to have everything a cvs would. And the cashier was friendly. When he saw my coupon he wished me a happy birthday.

It’s messy in here!!!

While they do seem rushed at the pharmacy, they’ve always been helpful. I’ve been told more than once that my prescription would be ready in 10 minutes only to hear my name called after about 3 minutes. Overall, I have no complaints.

Received an offer in the mail to get a $ 25 gift card for filling a new prescription. Bought some makeup and hair products! The store was clean and the manager was friendly.

Horrible pharmacy. I’ve had some small snafus here in the past, but today took the cake…
They were faxed prescriptions from my doctor two days ago. It still wasn’t in the system by the time I called today… Once a pharmacist went to physically look at the ignored faxes, she located mine and mis-​quoted me on the price. I asked her to transfer both to another CVS location, being careful to give her the address as well as the store number. She assured me it would go right through and be ready for me within the next hour or two…
Fast forward TEN HOURS to when I showed up to the other CVS location, exhausted from a long day and ready to get my prescriptions and go. They did not have my prescriptions ready because LIVERMORE NEVER FAXED THEM OVER. They did not call me or the store or anyone else; just flat out never did the transfer. When the other store got them on the phone, they were told they did not send it through «because they didn’t know where to send it» — UM, NO. Talk about shitty service and flat-​out dishonesty. There was no apology, just flat-​out bullshit. This mix-​up took about an hour to clear-​up, between their phone calls back and forth and slow fax delivery. Not cool.

Do not get your prescriptions filled here!
Unless you want to pay nearly double!
My daughter was sick last week. The Doc had longs or Safeway in his file to fax to.
I hate Safeway.
Now I hate Longs…
So, after being directly cut in front of, by one of Livermore’s finest white trash residents… I get my turn. As I hand the «aid» the prescription, I see the Pharmacist leave, be-​line, out the side door. To which I am imformed that the Pharmacist has gone to lunch, it will be an hour and a half.
Ok.
So, I return, and the line is literally 15 or so deep.
I leave…
Now completely frustrated, I call the Doc, as I am walking into Rite Aid, get the fax # from the aid, and promptly here the fax. The aid tells me it will be 20 minutes. We continue shopping, and 5 minutes later, our prescription is filled.
$ 44.00
So, my son gets sick. I tell John to go pick up the meds from Longs. Kid has the same thing as the other. So he does. I come home from work. I look at the prescription… Same exact thing…
Except for the $
$ 71.00
No SHIT!
I wonder who is getting a visit today?!
