CVS Pharmacy

Sadly I came to really know this place due to the fact that my wife was battling cancer. I pretty much lived at the pharmacy and can say we all know each other by first name. While the pharmacy team is very professional and skilled — the store is quite big and has a huge variety of products: aspirin to food and wine. I am always greeted upon entering the store and have never dealt with any employee who wasn’t sincerely interested in providing me the best experience possible. Very lucky to have such a great drugstore by my home.

Went here to get peanut butter, and gas x for my friend who never ate broccoli before. They had at least 6 brands of peanut butter, none of which had ingredients list of just peanuts and salt — just Jiffy and a bunch of stuff. Then went to get Gas X. For some reason they had 6 different options that were basically all the same. It was unnecessarily confusing, and I think it was that trick to put up a bad option to make the other option look good. Further, the price tag was wrong (said $ 6, was $ 14 when I went to scan it), among other misplaced items in the store. One of three self checkout machines was then out of order, and another one went out of order when I went to scan the actual $ 6 Gas X item. Scanning on the third machine worked though, but I just got a weird vibe when I saw a huge coupon ad on the credit card scanning machine as I was trying to review my list of scanned items while checking out. Overall I got the impression that this is just a kind of trashy place that’s out to get you. CVS gotta up their game.

Great staff and service. Pharmacist remembers my banner and my wife’s when she’s not even with me! It’s nice to have people who care

Come right in, scan your rewards card and see if you have any useful coupons. Now, go have some fun!
I think the deal with this CVS is that it never has the same things. So you are bound to find new stuff and not finding the old stuff you wanted.
The store is nice and neat and they have a good selection of make-​up (which is all we want, let’s be honest) that Walgreens doesn’t have. Especially cruelty free make up (ELF, Physicians Formula, Milani, NYX). However, they didn’t have Milani today, which is a super shame.
While you are strolling along the aisles, employees will come to you to check if you have found everything you need. That is thoughtful and helpful.
Anyway, it is a nice stop before your groceries at Fresh & Easy.

Great location. I have never met a friendlier, more professional employee than one that this particular location has. Her name is Nancy and she is absolutely unbelievable. Always smiling and goes completely out of her way for you.

The CVS Pharmacy at the 32^nd Avenue location is fantastic! The pharmacy staff are helpful, knowledgeable and provide excellent customer service. Special mention to Cynthia Do, the pharmacist on staff. She is extremely helpful and patience in explaining about the medicines.
The store staff are polite, friendly and helpful. They carry most over the counter products like Walgreen, the store is clean and organized. This CVS is also right next door to Fresh and Easy, so convenient you can pick up your meds and do your grocery shopping without driving to another location.

This review is for the actual pharmacy, not that store. The store is fine, the pharmacy is great.
Fantastic! I have a condition that requires more care and medication than I really care to have (in a word, it sucks) and these guys have been really great since I switched from Costco. They knew me by name after my second visit, they offer great feedback, advice and insightful information about the medications I take. They even called me to check up on a medication I no longer have to take. Customer service like that is so appreciated. They’re in the neighborhood and even though part of a corporate chain, the people here really make it feel like a small neighborhood pharmacy. I recommend this pharmacy to everyone, even if it’s a bit out of your way (it’s not mine, very close)… It’s a nice neighborhood out here and the CVS is right next door to a Fresh & Easy. It’s super! So, great customer service, always friendly and very knowledgeable. 5 stars easy!

This drugstore deserves 5 stars for its decision to stop selling cigarettes (despite the consequent loss in profit). Not a double speech as we see in other companies: selling cigarettes and medicines at the same time. On top of that, their staff is very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Nice to have them nearby.

CVS is even pricier than Walgreens on the counter meds and they didn’t carry the item i needed. CVS was empty. only one checking stand open and many shef check out stations.
buys: arizona arnold palmer tea (.99)
takeouts:
–beers very pricey… doubtful return.

Four stars instead of five because I wish they did not close so early on Sundays.
In terms of their selection, this CVS is just like any other CVS, but what sets this store apart from the rest is the excellent customer service. I love how they greet you when you walk through the doors, and they’re always ready to help when you need it.
The fact that their staff cares (or at least does a good job at making it seem like they care) always puts a smile on my face.

Wonderful customer service.

Clean, well light, good selection, friendly staff.

We were beyond excited to learn that CVS was opening right in our neighborhood. No more trips to Target — just a short walk to the endless source of hair products, make up and toilet paper.
the reality turned out to be not so glamourous — EVERY SINGLE time i go to pick up prescription there seems to be something wrong, doesn’t even matter if you call ahead. but i gues it’s not a big deal to them — only a few trips to the store and you can finally get your prescription, and sometimes even you don’t have to wait in line very long, while the pharmacists talks on the phone or chats with some friends not noticing you there holding the crying baby who needs a prescription. But it’s fine — I don’t really have a choice, I can walk 10 blocks to walgreens, but it can be kind of far with a new born in Richmond fog, so I choose not to.
But my main complaint is about their photo department and MANAGEMENT in general. I dropped of a photo order in store — there were no customers at all. Just me and a sales clerk. I confirmed with him that an hour photo takes an hour, asked a few questions about paper and photo printing. He assured me that they will do their best and told me to come back in 30 minutes. Important part here is that i have a newborn baby, who was with me and the photos were not my personal, but for another company, so it was important they were ready by that evening. Time on the clock when i dropped it off was 2pm. I’m back at 3:30 and photos didn’t even start printing. And no one seemed to know what was going on. I just waited for 30 minutes to talk to someone. It turned out that their machines were all jammed or something and they didn’t even notice it. I waited in the store until 7pm as i really needed those photos. I kept asking how long it will take, and not even getting a response. They didn’t tell me that there were orders in front of mine printing. They could have just asked me to come back at a certain time. No, they made wait for 3 + hours with a baby in my arms in the store!!! The funny thing is that the photos were such a bad quality, that i had to redo them that night at home on my own printer…

This pharmacy is great! I’ve never had any problems and the pharmacists go out of their way to make you happy.

The store is usually not very busy from the past few visits in recent months. I like the layout of the store since I could easily find what I needed. Items range from beauty products to yummy snacks. I usually get the hair products and it is always in stock, never had to go to a staff. The ambience of the store is bright and very clean like any CVS stores.
I never knew CVS has its own self-​checkout stations mostly because I’m too use to going to Walgreen’s where a staff checks out the items for you.
Overall, a very good store to get you essensials. Usually a staff at the entrance greets the customer upon entering which is very nice and a must in terms of customer relation. This store surprisingly also has a small selection of Asian snacks which I like because I go school in SoCal and they don’t sell any there. Will definitely shop here in between this and other places.

It’s very clean here, much more so than the nearest Walgreens– and some of their pricing can be cheaper than the next door Fresh and Easy. No ringing up alcohol at the self check outs though– make sure to use a human!

I don’t write reviews often, much less bad reviews.
But I can’t believe the service I have received at CVS.
I have never tried them before and I thought I would give them a try. Previously I was a regular Walgreen’s customer.
1-​My prescription at CVS came to $ 90 with insurance. The prior month at Walgreen’s I paid under $ 20 for the same medication.
2-​I had to call TWICE for them to transfer the prescription to Walgreen’s.
3-​When they finally transferred it over, not all the information was communicated. i.e. the dosage.
4-​When I had to call them a third time to explain the situation, they said, «We don’t have anything on file for you.» I was there two days ago in person and I have been talked to them multiple times.
5-​CVS said there was nothing they can help me with in regards to Walgreen’s and that I need to call Walgreen’s back and have Walgreen’s call them again.
UGHHHHHHH What a pain! I will never use them again even if they are closer to my home. Good thing this prescription wasn’t urgent. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if I needed me medication on time.

When a person just wants a $ 1 drink or something simple, found CVS was cheaper than Fresh and Easy. Was thirsty so walked around Fresh and Easy looking for something to drink. All their drinks were $ 2+ except for water.
So I remember there was a CVS next door and got myself a grape juice for $ 1.10.

I really wish I didn’t live so near this place because it’s turning me into a cheap drugstore cosmetics slut, which I’m pretty sure is the worst kind of slut you could be. To be fair, CVS definitely has nicer and a wider variety of skin care products than Walgreens, but still… not good for my compulsive tendencies.
Speaking of sluts, you can buy giant variety sized boxes of condoms and lube and other normally locked up things here without having to ask someone to unlock them from behind a case first and awkwardly hand them to you. Definite plus.
And then you take all your semi-​shameful buys and self-​checkout!

This new CVS is nice.
Just remember you can’t buy giftcards with the self checkout. But the employees are nice.
The coupons were great that first week they came out.
I like to come here when I need random house things like toothpaste or batteries or birthday cards. I just got my uncle the best birthday card — let me tell you about it: (!)
The front had a hippie looking cartoon guy with bright tyedyed colors. It read «Wow, a child from the 60’s is turning 60.» Then on the inside is said «Wanna take some antacid?». :) Loved it!
