CVS Pharmacy

This CVS is not too busy in the morning. Staff is friendly. The store is clean and there is plenty of parking. There are 4 self checkout machines which is convenient. There is a Bethpage FCU ATM inside. Early in the morning when the sun comes up the sun glare is bad. I don’t know why the windows are not tinted.

I have always loved this CVS. It is big and is OPEN 24 HOURS! I have gone here for nail polish at around midnight and I felt good about it haha. They have a great cosmetics selection and when I went there today in search of specific products, the employees came through. The young lady (if her boss is reading this she is the girl that is slim) that was working the beauty section directed me toward the brand I was looking for. When I asked her which eyeliner she would prefer she told me which helped me to choose. When I asked her a question about the how to use a product she didn’t know the answer. She easily could have just said she didn’t know, but instead she called over an employee that I assume is in charge of the makeup. This woman was able to help me and even after I got my answer and walked away she called me back to give me another helpful tip! What service! I momentarily chatted with the friendly cashier about chips haha. Great store!

This is not specifically about Oceanside but rather all CVS stores I visited including Hewlett, Woodmere etc.
The shelves are poorly stocked. When going in to shop you have about a 50% chance of finding what you want. Consider this along with their advertising. They advertise items that are rarely in stock making me waste my time by going in. Rain checks are good but I may need the product now.
Finally their most recent advertising includes buying several products to get «extra bucks.» Great idea but they never have all the products in stock making it impossible for me to earn those extra bucks. I went to several stores in the week and could not find both products in stock. This is deceptive to me.
Don’t bother to go there and waste your time especially since their regular prices are about 10−20% higher than other places

This CVS is a little further from my house than the 3,287 others I pass to get here. Both the store and the pharmacy are open 24 hours which is a plus. The staff is friendly and that is the main reason I regularly choose this particular store.

Very courteous staff. Good pharmacists. I just feel sorry for those workers in all of the CVS. They seem overworked but friendly and helpful.
They have never made an error in the 16 years that we have used them. The over the counter medications are a bit pricey and are cheaper at Harmon’s.

I have always liked this CVS not only because it’s 24 hour but because it is:
–always well stocked
–well lit
–always clean
–has a helpful and knowledgeable staff
–set up in a familiar/​sensible way so you can find items easily
–has a great pharmacy team (biggest plus) with professional pharmacists that give great and budget friendly suggestions for any small ailments
Besides all of these great things about this CVS, there is also ample parking at all times and it is easy to get in and out of the parking lot off of Long Beach Road or two entrances off of Atlantic Avenue.
One of my favorite CVS’s in the area.

I Ordered photos online Sunday night to be delivered to the store. The email confirmation said the store would call me when they are delivered. By Friday I was getting worried my order didn’t go through so I called. Rude ‘kid’ on the phone asked me my last name and put me on hold for a few minutes to come back on the line and day they don’t have my pictures. I asked him how long it usually takes and the said he didn’t know and that I should try later in the week (ummm it’s Friday how late in the week should I try???). Checked my ups tracking number and saw they were delivered to the store 2 days ago and signed for by a man named Ray. I go into the store later that night and asked for my pictures once Kaitlyn rudely asked if I needed help after waiting by the photo counter for 10 min. She looked for the pictures and said she couldn’t find them. She asked if I got a call saying they were ready to which I replied I have a delivery confirmation and she looked at me like OK BUT DID WE CALL YOU? Isn’t a ups delivery confirmation enough proof that they were delivered? Another few minutes later she comes back with my pictures. No apologies, no I’m sorry for not looking harder or not calling you …nothing. Just some more attitude as she rung me up. I spend more money in cvs each month than a normal person should and needless to day I won’t be developing anymore pictures from them due to their lack of customer service and frowning workers.

Complete inept and incompetent staff. Had a problem with my pain killer prescription which I know wasn’t their fault. I dropped that prescription off at 9pm, was promised by the pharmacist that they would call my doctor in the morning, clear everything up and have it ready. Instead I was met with blank stares from a different staff whom lost my prescription. Mind you these are pain killers for having my bone drilled into. «Take aspirin» isn’t what you want to hear. Excruciating pain for almost 24 hours and I am still met with incompetence and people who could care less. I’ve been coming here for years but will NEVER return. Apparently 20 hours isn’t enough time to put 12 pills in an orange cup.

OK pharmacy that is open for 24hours. Unhelpful and occasionally nasty crew. Pharmacy has trouble billing correctly. Seems messy at times.

Great 24-​hour CVS location.
Friendly, courteous, and skilled pharmacist working the late-​night, who managed her customers very efficiently. I have to give lots of credit to someone who, when faced with customers needing medications urgently late at night, will take care of them first while making people wait who simply want to drop off a prescription for the following day because it’s convenient for them to be there that evening.
Clean and well-​lit store with ample parking. I’ll be coming back if I come down with something late at night again.
