CVS Pharmacy

I am a 44 year old African American male who went to this CVS on ⁴⁄₂₂ to get a snack after work. I picked up a can of Pringles, but I wasn’t sure that was I really wanted. I walked around the store, I stopped in one of the aisles, as I was texting on my phone. As I was putting my phone back into my pocket, one of the employees asked me if I needed help. I answered, «no». He then began to watch me for a good 2 – 3 minutes, when I then asked him if he was okay, he responded, I’m okay, are YOU okay?” I then told him that I was not sure what I wanted as a snack. He replied, «what about that energy bar in your pocket?» I then said, «oh, you mean this?», and I pulled out the cell phone that was in my pocket and showed him. He then said, «we’re good». I replied, «no, we are not good». I put the chips back and walked out of the store without buying anything. If him saying, «we’re good» was his attempt to apologize, they need to do a better job of training their staff in customer service and making sure that racial profiling is NOT an acceptable practice.

This location is at the bottom of my office building making it über easy to buy snacks. Speaking of which, they have bags of Chex Mix for $ 0.99 right now! That’s a $ 2.50 savings per bag. This isn’t too unusual though. They usually have great deals on snacks.
The service is friendly. There is usually a greeter who asks if they could help me find something. Very easy to get in and out with what I need/​want most of the time. SOLID 3 stars.

Fantastic service at this location!

Ok, I get if you don’t like wallgreens go to CVS, just not this one. First the staff is very fake in their attitude. I was shopping having a nice experience and someone asked if I need help finding anything. «No I’m fine thank you.» Then someone else passes by asked if Im finding everything ok. Again no, thank you. I was shopping for maybe 10 minutes and 4 people asked me. It gets a little much. If I need help I will ask YOU! Its good that the staff is out on the sales floor but c’mon. This is ridiculous. Don’t shop here, just avoid it.

Wow. Tons of stuff packed back into this seemingly small space. I found everything I was looking for (bronzer, nail polish and some medicine). Great location. Easy self serve checkouts available. Closes early!

Hands down the most well organized and beautiful CVS in the bay area. Staff is super friendly and efficient and the Manager is very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Im in a rage over what just happened at cvs. The cashier waved me over and said next customer in line, made eye contact and beckoned me. I walked there and a pharamcaist who works there cut and swooped right in front of me without waiting in line to purchase a bag of chips. He tried to use a card and it was declined and he couldn’t figure out what to do.
I said ‘excuse me’ to the cashier and the other cashier said to him ‘you called her over, she was next’. They paid no attention to him or me, neither even would look at me and the pharmacisit was joking in a loud NY accent ’ my card doesn’t work, what should I do, maybe I should call my insurance company HAHAHAHAHA’.
The other guy rang me up and kept saying im so sorry, you come here all the time, you are a good customer.
I said ’ is that your manager?’ bc he had a short sleeved Montgomery ward dress shirt and tie and he said yes that’s my supervisor.
This is horrible customer service by both the manager and the pharmacist and that is enough to make me not come here anymore.

I haven’t been motivated to Unilocal since moving to Unilocal’s birthplace, because there are already so many of y’all and I’m not yet the local expert like I was in Philadelphia, my former city.
But this cvs is absolutely worth my breaking my Unilocal fast for a five-​star review. Every single employee here is awesome, friendly, smart, proactive and super-​helpful. If every business ran like this store, there would be world peace. Enough said. I’ll never shop anywhere else.

3.5÷5. One of the better CVS stores I’ve been to, this one is located on the corner of a beautiful Financial District building. The store is modern and has self-​check out stands and there was no wait at the Pharmacy. Aisles are a bit small so I often had to ask people who were idling to move out of the way. They did have a pretty decent refrigerated display of drinks/​waters, which was nice.

Finally a CVS that is close to my workplace! I don’t have to schlep all the way down to Union Square or drive to Daly City to visit a CVS. This CVS opened today and everything is neat and clean. The store is actually carpeted. I liked that they had rows and rows of fridges to store all types of drinks. Check out was quick. You do need to have a CVS card to take advantage of the sale prices.
Finally a close by alternative to Walgreens! Now I just may pay attention to the CVS ads in the Sunday papers.

So I have to start out w/​the fact this CVS gets a big fat BOO for not offering any Easter Candy
I scoured that store over & over again & found no Holiday section…& was relegated to the «regular» candy aisle for my chocolate fix… it just wasn’t the same.
Don’t you realize that holiday candy tastes MUCH better than everyday candy?
Everyone knows this. Everyone.
And when I’m especially looking for my Reese’s PB Easter Egg fix, I’m looking for immediate gratification — which you could not provide
And w/​no holiday section, you’ve lost a huge retail opportunity to provide supplies, decorations, cards & most importantly, CANDY
Maybe my expectations for a pharmacy have been based on Walgreens & the fact they have a little bit of everything & 99% of the time I need something, they have it. CVS doesn’t seem to offer this diversity — or whimsical appreciation for holidays
So for basics like chips or a bottle of water, I’ll stop by CVS if I’m already passing but for all my everyday & holiday sugar-​fixes, it’s Walgreens all the way

You know what’s great about this CVS? It’s not Walgreens. CVS has the retail aesthetic down. Super organized and it doesn’t feel all cluttered with super high fixtures. I’ll always go here rather than the Walgreens at Sansome/​Bush.

One of the better CVS stores in their inventory within San Francisco. Good service elevates this CVS from 2 to 3 stars. The service OK, but I do not have an expectation of high touch service here. The employees are friendly. I think this location may be spread thin on staffing.

Convenient place to shop. This CVS Pharmacy is a bit small, but its a great place to shop when you need items quick. I love their supply of sugar free candy.
Please make sure you get your CVS card and get savings.

Did this place used to be a bank? It has an odd feeling to this store; almost like it’s being staged for a movie scene. High-​ceilings, a strange run-​around layout, and a few aisles of some basic essentials. I found what I was looking for, so that’s good.

This CVS is directly across the street from my office so naturally I was excited once I saw that the store would be opening. On the day of the grand opening I walked over to check it out and was slightly disappointed. The layout of the store is just funky. It is u-​shaped. You walk in and there are a bunch of snacks and beverages. Turn left and you hit candy and all the misc. bathroom products like shampoo, conditioner, etc. and then turn again to get to the actual pharmacy. Like I said, its u-​shaped. I found it awkward to navigate through. I’m normally not picky, but this really ruined my shopping experience. I also was hoping there would be more variety for certain products. I was looking for cotton balls one day and all they had was the mini ones, no jumbo size. That’s sort of a standard thing to carry so I was again a little disappointed.
The store does have a lot of great features like self checkout and all the snacks are right up front so easy to stop in and grab a snack if you’re on the way to work. Also, the employees are nice and helpful when you need them to be… without being obtrusive. Lastly, CVS has discounts and you can earn credits/​coupons when using your CVS card so its always nice to get a couple bucks off here and there.
Overall, I still prefer to walk the extra 2 blocks to get to Walgreens. Better selection and layout, but this CVS location is still a decent place so I would still go there occasionally.
P. S. Fun fact! The movie Contagion (starring Kate Winslet, Jude Law, etc. has a scene that was filmed in this store! Filming occured before it was CVS when it was an empty store. In the movie, they make it look like a pharmacy.)

Your standard CVS. Good place to duck in for a bottle of cold water while on a long walk around the City! Used the automated checkout line — no fuss — no muss!

Self Check — outs MAJOR PLUS, especially during lunch /​rush hour.
It was my first time coming here today, pretty excited. I love CVS! So happy they opened up this location in San Francisco /​FIDI area.
Lot’s of great deals going on. Buy 1 get 2^nd half off. Wet & Wild nail polish .69 cents
As i am browsing around the store to find great deals. I started to look in the cosmetic’s area. I was in need of Foundation. I was having a hard time to match my color as i picked my final color. I opened it, to compared the color to my skin. Well this employee came from around, not knowing what i was doing. Immediately she said i couldn’t do that, to not put my finger in it? with an attitude. I was very offended because little did she know i was already convinced i would be purchasing this product.
I think the employee’s should think twice regarding how they approach customers.

I forgot to mention the best thing about this location– the self check-​out. Awesome. The only way I could get out faster is if I were to pocket what I go in for and run for the exit. My guess is that I would get tackled pretty quick by a CVS employee, they look pretty fast.
Great for anyone in a hurry that needs to grab something quick.

Looks like Walgreen’s has some competition!
I’m actually really happy that a CVS Pharmacy has opened — it’s close to my office and close to my gym, which is a major plus for me! It’s another convenient option when I need to pick up some basic things.
I also noticed that they have a pretty good selection of nail polish which is important if you’re a nail polish addict like me ;) They have all the basic brands and also carry Essie and Nicole by OPI’s Kardashian Kolor.
I also like that they have a self-​checkout and that line seems to go by quick. However, there’s only one regular checkout and I think they should at least put one more in because this place can get busy pretty quick.
I will definitely be coming back here, especially if there are better prices and selection than Walgreens.
